To be fair, neither of you were old enough to have any concept of the environment at the time. And people were not creaming themselves for Musicology and 3121. It was still as mixed as it is today.
You want to see cream? You gotta go back a long, long ways. Prince has gotten exceedingly harsh criticism since about 1985. | |

You can say that again.
And I didn't mean creaming for the albums themselves, but for the chart success that they achieved. [Edited 8/8/11 16:58pm] | |

Why you keep bringing Prince up? I never mentioned his name. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
because unique turned this into a bas mj forum rather than discussing vocal ability he rather argue about artist who have lip synced, so i wanted to put that to rest and simply say i have nothing to prove, because michael has already proved himself. | |

It took about... I wanna say just a couple months for 3121 hype to sour. By the time he did GMA, the org was pissed off at him again. lol. smh. (Though they had a right to be mad at him for that pink/blue outfit and that hair.) | |

Okay man, what the hell are you going on about? I was responding to you and why what happen if Prince, your favourite artist, hit number one. Jeez... | |

I'm going on about how you asume I was talking about Prince. When I said, "The awards mean nothing. It's about the music.", I meant it regarding every artist not just Prince. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I never said you were talking about Prince, . I said that if the tables were turned and Prince was receiving all the acclaim that you wouldn't say that its all about the music. | |

Bro, I never cared about awards, so you can't speak for me. I don't care if Prince had 18 Grammys, I wouldn't bring it up in a debate. When me and my friends have a Prince and MJ debate, they constantly bring up awards, and never music. I simply tell my friends, "listen to Sign O' The Time."
Awards are pointless. | |

Meh. Sign O' The times is great, but it's so overrated. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Is Bad better? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Bad is a great pop album but it is no Sign O' The Times, although I do prefer Bad myself. Dangerous and HIStory together are Michael's Sign O' The Times, in my opinion. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
yes, TO ME.. bad is better.. there is so much great music on that album, of coarse the same goes with sign o the times, but i think if they fought..bad would win.. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
So you guys chose Bad out of loyalty to MJ? I respect that. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Partially yeah. I basically came out of the womb moonwalking, and I've been raised on Michael. That's why I will probably always love his music more than Prince's. | |

im the same, lol.. and i think michael in my opinion, that of coarse biased.. but as a "musician" prince would beat just about anything, with him playing almost every instrument i can think of...but as far as a performance artist, im gonna go with michael, IMO, lets not turn this into another debate | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I think...hmm....they are way too different to compare. Michael is great at what he did, but Prince was WAY more experimental. But when Michael wanted to be there, he was THERE. I mean, Stranger In Moscow, They Don't Really Care About Us, Who Is It, etc... damn. I choose Prince only because he didn't care and released whatever he wanted to no matter what. Michael was too safe. | |

Michael was too safe. I see what your saying. I like asking people that question because the real music lovers always say you can't compare them. I told my friends that they can't compare an artist who made a song about vaginas, to a artist who talked about changing the world. | |

Haha, so true. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Michael, Prince, Freddie, whoever, they were all DIFFERENT artists that appealed differently to people. When are some gonna get that through their skull? To compare them would be ridiculous. The only reasons they compare are they're male, exhibited a strong androgynous image, were powerful performers and have/had soulful voices. Other than that, not much similarities. | |

Pellicano claimed he dropped Michael Jackson as a client because he 'did something far worse' than molesting young boys.
'I quit after I found out some truths. 'He did something far worse to young boys than molest them.'
this is the guy you adore so much. there's a thread on him where you can post shite all fucking day about him, and there are plenty fan webshites where you can post. this is a prince fan site and we are discussing freddie mercury, yet you troll and bait and flame and post shite after shite about something off topic that no-one gives a shit about apart from the other half dozen MJ fanatics
nothing you will say will change anyones mind. nothing. so you are just wasting your time by trolling here
