This is false. It's usually Prince fans diminishing MJs talent. You can search through the history of this website and see for yourself. Check that if MJ was overrated thread for reference [Edited 12/2/17 16:41pm]

And I most people attacked that person who posted it. MJ is not a big topic of discussion in the Prince world because the two artist have nothing in common out of both being black.

I don't see the purpose in complaining about one fanbase's behavior on another fanbase's forum...

Exactly

Not surprised to hear that, they do have a massive inferiority complex.

As someone who's read people laughing and saying "prince won" when Michael died in '09 or called names like "pedo lover" because I'm a fan of MJ, I think it's safe to say both fanbases have individuals who have a inferiority complex.

Yes Michael threads dominated the Music Non Prince forums and even the Prince forum as people would compare the two all the time. In 2009 after his death, the mods imposed a one thread limit for Michael Jackson and this applied only until a few weeks ago, when this rule ahd ended, but now we have like 5 or 6 on the go at once, and not all are complimentary.

At the end of the day too, no matter how different you all think they may be, they seem to attract a lot of the same people. If you asked 100 Prince fans (Not ones who think Purple Rain is the extent of their fandom), but proper fans, what other artists they really liked or listened to and I would say 99 have heard of Michael Jackson and at least 75 would like at least some of Michael's music and a full 50 would be huge MJ fans too.

.

Pretty much if you like Prince, you are bound to like at least half of these artists too.

Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Sly Stone, Parliament-Funkadelic, Frank Zappa, Terence Trent Darby and Sananda Maitreya, Lenny Kravitz, Frank Ocean, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Public Enemy, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Jackson 5/Jacksons, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, George Michael/Wham!, Eurythmics, Tori Amos, Pet Shop boys, Childish Gambino, Maxwell/Tricky/Goldie, Sade, Ready for the Curl, Georgio, Sam Cooke, The Time, Vanity 6, Original 7even, Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, Sheila E, Exotic Storm, SOS Band, Grace Jones and many more.

.

People who like Prince just gravitate towards R&B, Soul, Funk, Pop, Dance, Blues and Jazz, that is Prince he encourages people to examine their own musical preferences and expand them. On this hypothesis MJ seems basic and generally astep before Prince. Myself like many more was a huge Michael Jackson fan before I got into Prince and remained one afterwards, but many Prince fans forgot about Michael after they took the leap to Prince.

MJ fans are mixed, but for many serious music fans - his stuff is lightweight - sorry it is all generic dance pop music with few instrumental flourishes or any deeper meaning in the works. I love Michael but he is not Mozart.

.

Also you misinterpreted what I said, I merely said many Prince fans start off with MJ and then skip to Prince. I also said which you omitted to read - that most people remain fans of Michael too - but yeah assume that I said all Michael Jackson fans are basic, whatever that means.

.

Maybe you should go work for Donald Trump as his press secretary, because your altering, subverting and twisting of the facts would go down well there.

Some fans from both fanbases are mean, others are nice. That's kind of expectable because both fanbases are huge.

us Prince fans are much nicer

You, 2freaky4church, MJCarousel, Bart, Midnightmover, Laurarichardson, Neversin, and others are nice?

Wow, I post on this forum about twice a year at the most and yet you still remember me. I must really have made an impression on you.

Yeah I agree, sometimes I have this and the MJJForum open at the same time and accidentally post shit to the worng board. Yet they only have one Prince thread on that page, but it easily the most prominent Non MJ talk thread there.
