Just curious, but why hasn't Prince said anything about the death of Micheal Jackson? I know that he's a Jehovah's Witness now, but irregardless, he should show that he at least has a heart.

He never does

I was hoping Prince would show at the memorial. I wish he were the type of person who could get past himself for just five minutes to honor someone just as talented as he.

Aninopeace said:

Why do you need him to show you that he has a heart?

I know exactly what you mean... I'm coming to the conclusion that the death of his child and parents really did some serious emotional/mental damage..

Aninopeace said:

Why does a public statement show he has a heart?
It could be a publicist' creation.

I'm sure Prince has discussed it, as have we all.

Most of the planet didn't go to the memorial. What does that say about the planet?

LOL!! Unbelievable. I am sure he has said something. Why in the hell does he have to come out publicly with a statement? Give me a break.

Personally, I like Prince better when he keeps his mouth shut on anything other than musical notes.

Because he was one of MJ's contempories, he should show some class and not act like a jerk...

BigAudio said:

It's just a matter of respect. Madonna and others, gave their condolences, what's the matter with him? If he's going to be so deep with all of his JW spiritual talk, the least he can do is to show love to MJ...

SUPRMAN said:

R U kidding me?

Maybe he realizes that his statement that the "world has lost a great talent" doesn't mean that much.

Aninopeace said:

Not at all . . .

Aninopeace said:

How is a statement showing some class?
Again, it could show that no more than that he has a publicist.

fredericdoug said:

MJ's close friend Elizabeth Taylor didn't attend, same as many other contemporaries. Maybe Prince couldn't make it, maybe he prefers not to take the spotlight.

People really need to get over themselves regarding this subject. Did MJ attend every celebrity funeral or pay tribute to every star who died? He was a talented guy but he's not Jesus, there is absolutely no need for these childish demands for a comment from Prince to satisfy your personal requirements.

Aninopeace said:

I ll ask you again. So far you ve given your opinion that he SHOULD show some class and in YOUR opinion he is acting like a jerk. Why does it bother you PERSONALLY that he hasn t said anything? Does it make you look bad in front of people that know you are a Prince fan?

ConsciousContact said:

You just took the words out of my mouth. Add to that, even if he did have something heartfelt to say about Mike, many here would still rip Prince apart, so Prince wouldn't win even in trying.

I believe that Prince probably did something in private for the family, but that's between God, Prince and the Jacksons.

Aninopeace said:

LMAO!! A person does not have to come out publicly to show respect. You are too funny. Please tell us you are just trolling.

I think his silence is the best respect he could pay.

We all have heard some nasty things said about Michael, and we know Prince has some definite opinions about what ages us, affects our health, etc. If he said something, maybe it would not be something that MJ fans would want to hear, so he's not saying anything at all.

For all we know, maybe Prince and MJ were friends and this is hitting him pretty hard. We don't know and in my opinion, we don't need to know. We don't own Prince. He's going to do what he's going to do just like you are going to do what you wanna do. If you wanna drop a line about MJ and his affect on you, go ahead. Do you and stop worrying about what Prince is going to do. It's a waste of time.

Prince isn't exactly big on public statements, either. Maybe it'll take the form of 4 seconds of silence on his next record

Michael used to send him videos of Sly Stone and James Brown concerts as gifts all the time back in the day

bboy87 said:

"All the time" or just once?

bboy87 said:

I read that too. That shows me that there may have been more to there relationship than what we've seen. There was mutual respect between the 2.

MartyMcFly said:

Bobby Z said they got packages of concerts from Michael all the time

You guys realize that he could be taking this really hard just like a lot of people that knew Mike outside of the public eye.

He's waiting to hold a concert, doing all MJ covers, and charge you all $77!

tricky2 said:

That is not funny and not the right place for that shit.

I'll tell U why I think there has been no statement from Prince...

I think that Prince didn't actually like Micheal as a person (Hey U can't like everybody U meet can U?) I think there was a clash of personalities there and he would now feel a bit of a hipocryte standing up and declaring his love 4 him. I think Michael was 2 childlike 4 Princes tastes. I think Prince found Micheal a little irritating and I also think that Prince resented Micheal's fame a little 2. I think the way Prince saw it was, he could do what Micheal did but Micheal could never do all the things that he did so why did he get all the attention. (As was his opinion of U2 when they won the Grammy over him in 87)

Don't get me wrong though, I'm in no way calling Prince 4 this, he's only human and like I said... U can't like em all.

Call me a fool if U wanna but that's the impression I get.
