I agree. But I'm not feelin Prince butt naked laying on flower petals on the "Lovesexy" album cover or when he was wearing panties, a vest and a cowboy hat!
ReplyDeleteThis could, hands down, be an extremely difficult question to answer. Michael Jackson and Prince were/are very talented individuals. Their music, however, is so different. It is easy for music lovers to be fans of both, as many people are. But for me, my first musical love was Michael Jackson. My earliest memories of music are of Michael Jackson. I love Prince as well. The sheer talent that man possesses in his ability to pick up a guitar and make his listeners hang on to his every word is a talent that cannot be taught. On the other hand, the creative genius that Michael Jackson possessed will never be matched. He was a creative goon. No one will top Michael Jackson.

ReplyDeleteI'm less concerned with Prince's image and more concerned with the artistic creativity behind his music. There are literally no boundaries when it comes to Prince and his music (or I guess even his sexuality). But if you do want to compare images in terms of sexuality, that is a completely seperate topic of discussion.
IN REPLY TO MOMENTOLOGY:
ReplyDeleteWhen speaking in terms of creative genius, how dare you speak of MJ's unmatched creativity in comparison to Prince. Now, MJ is undoubtedly the greatest entertainer of all time. His ability to reach the souls of people through his music was phenomenal. As a performer, he catches you with his funky rhythms, captivates you with his stunning dance moves and inspires you with his soulful lyrics. There is absolutely no match for what he is able to do simply with a beat, a microphone and a crowd. However, musically, Prince has made limitless efforts to create, recreate, design, develop, compose and construct music in all and every form possible. He has successfully presented and delivered, unclassifiable and controversial music, that has been accepted and adopted into both new and existing genres. Talk about genius! So, how do you compare MJ to Prince....its simple....you don't....the 2 are incomparable.
There really is no answer to this question considering the answer Mike gave stating how Prince and Michael Jackson are in two totally different categories as far as music goes. Hands down Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer that ever lived. Prince although a great entertainer as well is true to the art of music and talent because of how versitale he is. Now if you want to compare something between the two of them how about vocal skill and talent and then you have a battle. I would give them a tie. They both have a large vocal range, capable of falseto and vocal endurance. The tie could only be broken if they had to sing the same song.
ReplyDeleteO my... ur pics are so cute! I dont know what I'm supposed to be leaving a comment about so here we go...Mike is soooooo cute & talented! XOXO Kay
ReplyDeleteIf I want "sexy" I would watch Prince. He is sexy and entertaining. MJ is a great artist and entertainer and has done GREAT things for music and broken down barriers! His imagination and creativity are unmatched. For me, MJ has NO sex appeal what so ever! Oh, and Mike, your skin is sooo pretty in this video. Derek, I like your locks but try not to dig in them while on camera. lol
ReplyDeleteControversy! *in prince voice* <--but im going wit MJ from a little kid til he died the reign speaks volumes
ReplyDeleteIN REPLY TO DIANA:
ReplyDeleteActually in a vocal competition I would say Prince has a greater vocal range. Now they both have unique sounds but MJ probably would win on having the more likable sound.
IN REPLY TO MOBILE MOCHA COUTURE:
ReplyDeleteWhat you said has absolutely nothing to do with the actual question at hand. lol. But thanks for the compliments....they're always welcome! ;)
IN REPLY TO A GROWN WOMAN:
ReplyDeletePrince hands down wins the battle of sex appeal, this is a category that MJ definitely lacked in. I will definitely say that MJ's music has broken many barriers but I cannot agree that his creativity is unmatched in comparison to Prince. Though they are in different categories, the only fair thing to say is that their levels of creativity are incomparable.
Thanks for the compliments . Lol ;)
IN REPLY TO PHENOMENAL1:
ReplyDeleteSo MJ started at the age of 8 with a song writer, manager and producer living in his home. Did you know that Prince was playing 13 instruments by the age of 12? He broke into the industry on his own at the age of 17, writing, producing, composing and arranging his own music. You can purchase over 100 pieces of audio material right now by Prince including, albums, soundtracks, concerts and singles. I happen to own 46 myself and I'm still collecting. So we can talk quality or quantity from start to finish, MJ verse Prince....you take your pick!
I think the key word you stated was "artist" Prince holds that, now if were talking "entertainers" MJ all the way!
ReplyDeleteIN REPLY TO KEELAND:
ReplyDeleteExactly! This is the very point I have been trying to make clear! You nailed it on the head sir! Very well done!
I Agree! Prince is better as far as originality and diversity goes, because those two things are what makes you an artist, he has tackled almost every genre and style of music, which is very rare to find any "Artist" do.
ReplyDeleteI GIVE MICHAEL JACSON HIS RESPECT HE IS A LEGEND HE HAD THE WORLD IN HIS HANDS..BUT WHEN IT COMES TO POP,, FUNK,,R&B,,SOUL,,,ROCK,, AND CAN PLAY THE SHIT OUT OF A GUITAR THATS PRINCE,,I SEEN HIM WHEN HE CAME TO CHICAGO ALSTATE ARENA IN 2004 SUMMER MUSICOLGY CONCERT ALL I CAN SAY IS OMG..HE DID ALL HIS OLD JAMS AND NEW AT THAT TIME THE LADYS WAS ON THERE FEET LOOKING HOT AZZ HELL MILF'S AND HE ROCKED THE STAGE..AT THE LAST MIN THE LIGHT WNET OFF HE SAID GOODNIGHT BUT EVERYBODY WAS SAYING ENCORE ""'WE WANT PURPKE RAIN"" AND HE DID THAT SHIT IS WAS LIKE OMG HE KILLED THATS SHIT..LONG ASS HELL LIKE 16 MINS LONG LIKE EXTENDEND LIKE WHEN U SEE ON THE OLD TAPE OF HIM LIVE BACK IN THE DAY ..HELL YEAH,,HES THE BEST..NOW AND FOREVERMORE
ReplyDeleteIN REPLY TO GIO:
ReplyDeleteI think you clarified one very important detail. Artistry encompasses both originality and diversity, and Prince has mastered these two details far beyond ordinary measures. While Michael Jackson hands down dominates the category of entertainment and performance on the overall spectrum, Prince holds the crown when it comes to artistry.
Michael Jackson has sex appeal but doesn't express it as noticeably. To me it's better that way. Prince has way too much sexuality,.. may become too humorous.
ReplyDeleteMichael does art in more popular manner (being at the same time original) but Prince usually expresses himself more uniquely/originally. Both combines different genres in wonderful way but I would say that Michael Jackson has more versatile music genres than Prince.
Both genuine genius!! Loving them. Win-Win :D
