Prince VS Michael Jackson
Trauma-san:
you said "You won't hear me saying he's an amazing artist"... he's CLEARLY an amazing artist.
Danté Williams:
Michael Jackson is great, no one can disagree with that. But, come on. Prince is pure genius. He plays every fucking instrument there is. Ever seen those classic lines on Prince's albums: "Produced, arranged, composed & performed by Prince"? That means that he got in the studio by himself and got out with a record under his arm. Drums, keyboard, guitar, whatever. Seen him do that guitar solo in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago? That shit was un-fucking-believable. He writes ALL his songs, except when he does a cover or something. Michael writes SOME of his songs. From where I see it, MJ is a great SINGER. Prince is a great MUSICIAN.
MJ may be the King of Pop. Prince is the King of Music. Prince has done pop, funk, r&b, hiphop, rock, reggae, tecno, dance... I've heard Prince sing with his normal voice, sing in falsetto, I've heard him rap and do raggamuffin, I've heard him sing shouting...he has done almost everything that can be done in music.
MJ hit the right note when he was with the Jackson Five and has kept hitting it since. He's been doing the same music for 30 years. Prince keeps experimenting with music. His last album (before "Musicology") was "NEWS", an instrumental jazz/funk record. No Prince album sounds like his previous one.
And I'm telling y'all, I love MJ. He's got some of the greatest songs out there, Straight classics. But in terms of musicianship and talent, there is no contest. If you like MJ better than Prince? Nice! Everyone's got their own taste and liking MJ is having good taste in music no doubt. But let's not deny the obvious.
