Because Michael Jackson followed pop music structure. That combined with his immense talents made him unstoppable.

But when you see someone like Prince making unique music that is true to himself and still shipping big numbers, I find that more impressive.


come on my friends..
donĀ“t let a wacko jacko fan.. fuck u minds...smile

we ALL know that the best performer and singer is PRINCE..
he plays guitar,, direct movies,sings,and much more,,,



performed,arranged , written and produced by PRINCE....". :-

I'm gonna always be a fan of Michael's but I'm getting tired of hearing how much the motherfucker sells. Yeah he sells trillions of copies, we get the point but it doesn't mean you should be belittling the efforts by Prince and Madonna, especially PRINCE. The man is a creative master at what he does, just as Michael is and Madonna is a marketing master. Trying to start fights up in here will get you bruised up. All three of them are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame now and are approaching 50, let it go. lol

that's the bottom line right there. Michael Jackson should be irrelevant but his blind fan base will not admit they worship a white woman from mars who has questionable intentions at best lol

Michael Jackson has sold four times more than Madonna or Prince because he was the safe little act that everyone could like ranging from the youngest kids to the oldest grandparents. As soon as kids were old enough to outgrow "Sesame Street", then they got into Michael Jackson. That shit ain't cool at all.

Old folks didn't like Prince because he was nasty as hell and they weren't sure whether he was gay or not. They didn't like Madonna because she was a slut. They were two artists that parents would want to keep their kids away from as a person, much less let them listen to their music. What could be cooler than that, especially when you are a rebellious teenager at the time?

Of course you can sell loads of music when you appeal to everyone and are a "safe, boy next door type" with "good moral values". bored


Yep. And I think even Michael would admit that. He was trying to appeal to EVERYBODY and he was indeed the more conservative one compared to Prince and Madonna. Then when the allegations and all that bullshit popped up, it destroyed that appeal. But Michael was doing REALLY well in a minute (1978-1992) and is still doing successfully because of his back catalog since he ain't put out a new album in seven years almost.

I wouldn't call it sales, I'd call it LONGEVITY. That's really the only thing Michael has on the both of them. When Prince and Madonna were in fifth grade, Michael was scoring hits with the Jackson 5 in Motown. That's basically it though.

Well yeah but I wanted to create a thread specifically about criticizing that crazy white woman so the pro MJ threads wouldn't get hijacked and the shit got locked immediately confused Closing this thread is reducing my outlet against the white woman from mars and her crazy followers sad

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Michael Jackson is more talented vocally than Prince.
Prince is willing to take his music to a wider range of places.

Sure Michael's sales are amazing, but his output sucks. He waits
way too long to put out material. He also gets more hung up on
making "pop" that appeals to everyone. This would be fine with me,
except the few albums he made and didn't care about that, (HIStory and BOTDF) were amazing and interesting.

Dang you Michael for not stepping away from that "pop" mold. Dang you!

Michael Jackson sang as a kid, he really stopped "singing" a long time ago. His vocals are more shtick than anything else. He is not more talented than Prince vocally.

[Edited 3/4/08 10:14am]


For real. All MJ can do is dance. His singing voice is annoying, he doesn't play any instruments, he doesn't write songs, all he does good is dance. rolleyes

falloff
Michael is more of the stageman(James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr) while prince is more like Hendrix and Little Richard imo

Just because a performer doesn't play instruments and write all of their songs doesn't mean they're not talented

and with that, I'm out of here wink

No I'm saying you don't need to be vicious at all.

I was thinking about the whole issue of celebrity today and decided that I'm going to try to be less judgemental towards celebrities, that's all.....unless it has to do with the new generation of pop stars lol

I also found out on other forums that the Org has a really bad rep because we can be really mean confused

Michael's current singing voice sounds weak and nasally. Prince's voice has aged wonderfully and he is now the better singer.

Because they can't help themselves, by looking at the title, you knew what time it was. It's actually insulting as a music fan. The higher you're record sales are, the better you are, it's stupid. I enjoy all of their music.
