    That is so profound to me. Prince and Michael stayed so quiet about their relationship the whole time, only showing what they wanted us to see. They had complete control over how the world perceived them two together. It seems like that’s how they best connected…through rivalry or competition. That was probably the way they showed respect to one another. They are fucking geniuses man!!!! The ending almost put me to tears. I had no idea any of this happened!

Michael released an album every four years while alive where as Prince would release one yearly, sometimes more than one (in 1998 he released 3, one with five discs). One was a workaholic perfectionist where as the other one who was a perfectionist who took his time making sure each song was perfect, plus Michael not writing all of his own songs he had to wait for songs where as Prince wrote 98% of his own material. They also didn’t even have the same sound or style, Prince couldn’t do a Michael Jackson song and Michael would never do a Prince song because most of them are very sexually explicit and MJ was always child friendly with his music.

No comparison really.

    It actually doesn't end there. Bruce Lee said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." So, you can't just say someone who does more is inherently better because of that. Given that MJ focused on entertaining as a singer/dancer/showman means, he can critique those aspects of his act while allowing another talent to give him a production, lyrics, etc, when best. There's been many, many like that before.

I hate that people (especially Prince fans) try to chalk off Michael's talents as simply being an "entertainer," the man had a wider range of talent that just being mechanically gifted in playing instruments. He brought in the visual, the audio, the physical through dance, the fashion and the persona (through how he conducted himself publicly). the man was a phenomenon felt all over the world, the most popular man around, that's beyond talent

That song has like 5 different hooks. He was not only one of the greatest vocalists of all time, he was an incredible songwriter and producer yet always stepped aside for anyone with a good idea or skill, wether it was Quincy, Bruce, the guys from Toto, Eddie van Halen or whomever. Real creative genius is knowing when not to let your ego cloud the end result.

The reality of this is Prince actually admired Michael and wanted to achieve the same level of success. I truly believe that all the antics were to simply gain Michael undivided attention as to say hay, I'm great too! The media were the real villains who inaugurated this so called beef between the two, both Michael and Prince were ahead of their time and true pioneers in the game, surely there will never be another as they both were in a league of their own!

    @@JazzyB9481 so true. I was born in the early 80s and as a small child, artists like MJ and Kate Bush deeply touched my heart. Although some songs and concerts were a bit before my time, they were still televised and we made video tapes, which I watched over and over. However, I really would have loved to be there in the 60s and early 70s, musically. I would have loved to see all the soul greats like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, BB King, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and so on. Also, Led Zeppelin. OMG! That would have been so cool to see them live. And, 80s fashion was kind of unflattering on most people. I remember mostly seeing badly designed/painfully colourful and unflatteringly shaped woollen and thick cotton sweaters with dumb patterns on them, and jeans that made people's bums look flat. Lol. I remember not liking my clothing options as a child as well as thinking my older brother looked absolutely ridiculous in his MC Hammer pants. Fashion of the 50s, 60s and 70s looks cooler in my opinion. Also, in this era where we are right now, all countries are influenced by all countries and all eras at the same time, so anyone can wear anything they want and people come up with their own unique styles that fit their personality and that's how it should be really :)

And so many other phenomenal artists that became legends! 🥰

He really deserved Oscar for best actor nomination.

    They were very good friends, at the same time competitive with all good intentions and respect. People need to realize that only Michael & Prince knew each other well enough they had so much in common talent wise, and life wise. They both had very rough childhoods, both barely had a childhood, both were physically abused, harassed, insulted, both were exposed to inappropriate sexual behaviors. This is why, Prince always defended Michael because celebs and the public didn’t know him like the way Prince knew Michael on a very personal level. Their friendship was golden. And I miss them both very much.

    I don't think people dismiss his musical contributions, it's more of the fact that Michael always had the greatest producers and songwriters backing him while Prince refused the greatest producers and songwriters because he chose to play the instruments, produce the songs and even engineer them himself. Michael was the superior dancer, live entertainer and vocalist while Prince was an all around complete musician and argued as 1 of the greatest guitarists. Prince produced and wrote for so many artists and hit songs that people didn't even know he wrote. They are equal in talent level, just in their own respective arenas. Check the credits for Prince's first 4 albums, and he's basically the only name listed for every credit.

    The brightest lights burn too fast. Michael won my heart since his earliest years - but it deprived him of a childhood and affected his whole life. Prince was an incredibly talented writer, instrumentalist-musician and entertainer, with a bit of an outsized ego, but he had to fight for recognition rather than being thrust in. Both of them earned the right to their eccentricity and were mutual admirers who were afraid of each other! I miss them both.

Prince had a tough relationship with his father too, but still left us with more songs still in his "vault" than Michael ever participated in creating.

    Prince was very different to Michael Jackson because Prince could play whatever instrument he picked up. Michael sadly couldn't play anything. Prince was very invested in music being able to do a variety of styles and write songs for other very different artists. Both are absolute top tier artists.

It’s as though they’re in a cult. The adoration for Michael doesn’t make him better. Ability trumps your feelings.

How devastating that we couldn't witness the art of the two merged together because of ulterior motives conjured up by the media. I feel Prince fell and played into it more than Michael. I believe Michael genuinely wanted to work with him and possibly form a friendship. Prince didn't want to.

So he shows up in a purple Frock Coat snd a white Victorian blouse and people were just impatient so they started throwing stuff at him. I understand it happened the first night and he wore something more provocative. He called Mick Jeager who had hired Prince after seeing him perform, gonna tell him he’s not ok no big back the next night. So Mick says hey I thought you want wanted to be a rock star, you gonna give up just because of THAT? Prince played and that was the one I was at. He was good but the crowd got roudy!

    I _TOTALLY_ agree, @Mecha Jay. It was _the media_ who made up this so-called “rivalry” between _Prince_ and Michael, in the first place. In various “fan” magazines such as “ _Right On,_ ” for example. Notice, too, that each of the segments taken from different interviews -- done with various other people who had either met Prince and Michael or knew quite a bit about both of them, even interviews with both Michael and _Prince_ themselves -- has his/her/“their” own personal viewpoint concerning this “rivalry,” and whether or not it ever existed at all. So, I choose to believe that they each respected one another; They were friendly towards one another, personally, yet _extremely_ competitive, when it came to their music and their overall professional careers as a whole.

    I _TOTALLY_ agree with you, @Mecha Jay. This so-called “rivalry” between _Prince_ and Michael started with the media -- through stories in “fan” magazines like “ _Right On_ ” and other printed publications, for example -- stories that the media and the public have _kept_ on perpetuating for over some 40 years and then some. The various interview segments shown in this Video (with other celebrities who had either personally known and/or professionally worked with each of them [ _respectively_ ] for a long time, were family members [like Michael’s siblings, his older sister, _LaToya,_ and younger brother, _Randy_ ] or were those who had recently met one or the other in person, maybe even having met _BOTH_ of these great artists at the same time, whatever the case may have been at that point) vary in personal opinion, somewhat, as to whether or not there was _ANY_ so-called “rivalry” between _Prince_ and Michael. I _truly_ believe that _NO_ such “rivalry” had ever happened, whether personally or professionally. The whole thing was _completely_ made-up and media-driven, to stir up the feelings and emotions of most of the fans in their separate fan-bases. Those who are _exclusively_ fans of _either Prince OR Michael_ absolutely _CANNOT_ /WILL _NOT_ ever bring themselves to listen to _ALL_ of whatever songs, albums, Demos of songs, etc., that were and _are_ already released, and giving a fair chance to the one “opposite of” whose music they _claim_ to like so much. Nor will such exclusive “fans” watch any Video content, released concert footage or T.V. shows featuring _Prince_ if they “only” like Michael, nor any such media material featuring Michael if they are exclusively into _Prince._ The actual separate “fan”-bases seem to be and are _WAY_ more into this “competition,” “comparison” and “rivalry” thing than the artists _truly_ ever were in their whole entire careers.

But I feel like if everyone can step away from being so biased and choosing sides and take time to really look at both of them and their artistry, we can stop comparing them. MJ wasn't better than Prince and vice versa, but I will say I do look at Prince differently than I do MJ because he was writing, producing, arranging, and playing all the instruments on his albums. There wasn't a Quincy Jones or anyone else guiding him or helping him, and Prince was still able to compete with the likes of MJ and Madonna. So we need to give both of them their flowers because they were both very talented, influential people.

They both deserve all the praise and admiration they received in life and now in death. To me Prince took it to another level because he literally was a one man band. He did it ALL. He could be in the studio alone and come out with a hit from his own making. He also like MJ arrange the music in his head, but since he was able to play the actual instruments he knew exactly how they would sound. Beatboxing to me is just an approximation of what the music "could" sound like. Prince also was more diverse in terms of genre in that he played Pop, R&B, Rock N Roll, Jazz, Gospel, Funk, even Techno! he would sometimes do different genres in the same song! Just AMAZING!
