Michael Jackson Or Prince ? | The Ultimate Debate In World Of Music 👀🔥 

So wat mike still better way better

"Facts. Michael the Goat, Prince an ALL TIME Great, big genius,I love him too. "

HAHA funny

@@JubiePaigePrince > Michael Wackson

Ain’t nobody prince either . It’s funny cause you see more Michael Jackson impersonators then prince impersonators it’s because it’s way easier to do with Michael can do then what prince can do . Prince is really on a different level . And most of Michael Jackson hits he didn’t even write well expect Billie Jean but most of them he didn’t prince did everything on his own from when he started with fame till death

Me Michael jackson I love he sty❤

Prince all.day

MJ❤

Yes indeed. Why do black people do this? So much jealousy. MJ is GOAT. He brought the entire world together through his music and dance (every culture, race...globally) ..1billion records sold. Child prodigy... musical genius.

​@@mmsoulmmPrince cant sing

I think this was one of the biggest differences between the artists. MJ was a superstar at heart who put on productions and people looked at him as an idol. Prince focused more on the organic nature of making music rather than putting on a production, and he always wanted his supporters involved - whether that was singing backing vocals that he would orchestrate, having people come dance on stage, or even just having online chat rooms that he would go in to talk with fans and get their input about what bootleg projects they wanted official releases for. MJ put on shows. Prince hosted parties. Not saying one is better than the other, it just depends on your personal preference. But I’ve always found that distinction between them to be very important.

I listened to a lot of Prince’s songs and didn’t like any of them. They actually sound terrible to me. I don’t know how people like them. I don’t like Queen, for example, but I can see why people do. But Prince, I really don’t think he’s good. He’s also not a a good dancer. The whole world know MJ. Almost no one knows Prince. Especially outside of the US.

An Ambulance was on standby at all times😂

@@songohan3931Not everyone can be cultured 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ironically they were both born in the same year. They both would have been 66 this year.

HAHA

The man could sing his ass off too

wow Michael could beatbox? Amazing!

@ mjmedia09returns Prince could beatbox too. He also modeled himself after James Brown. Prince was also a great dancer, singer, songwriter and played dozens of instruments. Michael Jackson was more commercial than Prince but not better. Many people were turned off by Prince because of his risqué material during his early days. My husband doesn’t even like most of Prince’s music but he said it was the best concert he has ever been to.

@@tracynorman1455 Nothing like MJ. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beNf7GrevVQ.html

Are you saying Mj can’t sing ?

biased

@@gigachad740 And?

And he probably did a aftershow too. Prince was on another level when it came to playing live.

Prince the GOAT too

​@@staticshocc310 there is no two goats when it comes to this debate here sorry lol. MJ is the GOAT GOAT.

"I agree with you,but it can be to him. It's all feelings,passion. To some it's one goat,to some it's two goats. "

"I agree with you,but it can be to him. It's all feelings,passion. To some it's one goat,to some it's two goats. "

They both had different music styles. They both were totally different from each other. It depends on your tastes.

yeah It would have been great if he had played an instrument...any instrument.

@@phunkidruma That doesn’t mean anything?? A lot of artists don’t play instruments.

Swagger Jackson's Revenge. Enough said.

@@phunkidrumaDancing>Instrument

@@phunkidrumaTheir wasn’t a need of playing an instrument, he was the instrument, prince didn’t do he’s instrumentals with he’s mouth like Mj did, end of the convo .

"Facts,say that. "

Exactly Prince was in it for the music. The reason he lived away from all the fame in Minnesota.

ok and is that supposed to make him better?

You better come on and tell the truth! Prince didn’t gaf about none of that! Prince was and is the GOAT!

​@@nicolesiolExactly lmao

@@nicolesiol Prince gave zero fuks about being better. Are you all deaf?

Yes

I didn’t even know who Prince was until people started comparing the two I never met someone that doesn’t know who MJJ is

@@songohan3931 I think it’s comparing talent more than popularity they were both talented.

@@llaniii ok. When it comes to talent MJ surpasses him. To me Prince’s music sounds awful. I’m just keeping it real. Like I don’t like Queen but I see why people do but Prince, I don’t get it

Ironically they both would have been 66 this year.

Yeah I think this debate exists only among American black people, but in the world, easily Michael Jackson.

Cause, Jackson music is more easy to understand. He was like disney.

Honestly u have it ALL WRONG LOL. MJ OWNED ALL HIS MUSIC! Prince didn't own his and thats why he changed his name and tatted slave on his face. I can't believe u don't know this lol SMH. It took many years for him to finally get his rights to his music. Michael, on the other hand was smart enough to put in his contract when he signed with Sony that he would own the RIGHTS TO HIS MUSIC. ALSO, MJ OUTSMARTED SONY AND BOUGHT A CATALOG THAT MADE HIM THE MOST POWER MAN IN MUSIC AND OWNING HALF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! I mean from Elvis, Beatles, Beyonce , just to name a few. Unfortunately, it caused him his life and thats when the false allegations were created. Yes I do my homework and I suggest u do the say. Lol.

@@brandonlofquist7236 💯👏👏. Yes, you did your homework and hit all the FACTS. These people think they can just make up 💩and won’t be rebuked for their lies and misinformation. That’s NOT going to happen now or ever.🤔

Michael had the half of an empire (Sony ATV) . It's definitely Unique.

I don't take anything away from Jackson. But he's not Prince when it comes to talent. Prince did it all, whether by teamwork or singlehandedly, he did it all. I never believed any of the allegations that were labelled against Jackson. I just don't think he's on Prince's level talent wise.

@@kingsp.efeokotie3459 You still don’t understand. I never said MJ was more talented than Prince. I SAID I PREFER Michael over Prince. You people always want to MANIPULATE what was said. Everytime someone says they prefer Michael you all bring up “but Prince plays instruments”, “but Prince does it all”. What difference does that make in who I prefer? I PREFER Michael’s music, concerts, aura, how he makes me feel, his creativity, his videos, etc.,EVERYTHING. I have always respected Prince’s talent for years. However, I have never preferred him over Michael. What really irks me is some of you act as if a person HAS to prefer Prince just because he plays a guitar or writes his own music. I think a lot of it’s because some of you are just now discovering this. People like me have known that Prince played a guitar and wrote his music for 40+ years. THAT does not change my PREFERENCE. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏾‍♀️

OK but how many people go to the zoo and take pictures of bubbles? HAHA. WQho the funk gets a chimp for a pet...and lets not forget webster and mc cauly whatever his name is.

@@phunkidruma You sound “special” and that’s not a compliment, WTH does Bubbles or anyone else have to do with this conversation about two musical giants-MJ and Prince. You people get desperate and start bringing up things that have no relevance because you don’t have facts to back up your rhetoric.

When MJ gets done singing and dancing what else is he going to do. Prince can sing dance play instruments and has an amazing voice and has better musicians so it’s Prince for me plus Prince actually makes music Michael needs help with writing and producing

To quote Stevie Wonder; “if MJ was the king of pop, Prince was the emperor.”

@@jjjones8609 No Stevie is the Emperor he’s just too humble to say it.

@@darryl-hv1cjMj still the goat tho

MJ had 6 solo albums, Prince had 39 yet MJ with only those 6 albums sold over 750 million records including 3 of those 6 albums are in the top 10 best selling albums of all time. And what about "Jackson 5" and " The Jscksons" albums? Who was singing on them records? It was MJ since a child. There is no comparison on who's career was more profound and impressive. Prince is a genius though but MJ the King.

@@MarkoTiano I am not doubting that MJ sold way more albums than Prince, or any other artist. What I am saying is Prince put out much more material. He wrote it all himself, produced and arranged himself, played all the instruments in his songs, and did the same for other artists. Prince is the only artist to have the #1 song, the #1 album, and the #1 movie all out at the same time. The only song I know that MJ wrote for someone else is “Muscles” by Diana Ross. Prince wrote dozens of Top 10 songs for many people. How many of the songs by the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons did MJ write himself? J5: ZERO. Jacksons: maybe a couple. Maybe. How many instruments did MJ play on ANY album? ZERO. I am not taking anything away from Michael. I’m just saying that Prince could do everything.

Thanks Gene Washington nobody can ever say MJ wasn't great he's the King of Pop but Prince is the King of All genres of music nothing he couldn't do ask MJ to pick up a guitar and see how that works PRINCE IS UNDISPUTED!!!

I'd say prince is the goat entertainer he could actually do guitar solos and was great at 26 other instruments his concerts were always different no other artist did what prince would do live he would change the songs and musical arrangements

Same

Take a shot

If there was a global catastrophe where one person would've have to save the world with their talent, we'd use Michael jackson to do it..

@@Ms.A.Matthews415-nn7huI miss him so damn much 😭😭😭

Prince smokes Michael all day, every damn day

@@chuksmagfield it’s not an opinion. Prince plays way more instruments and doesn’t need Quincy Jones and other songwriters. Also Prince has more vocal range

@@Kickinthescience I know prince very well, but MJ is still the greatest..

Prince played musical instruments was a beast

Me too ❤❤❤

💯💯💯💯💯

Mike is better then Prince

👍👍👍

Hell naw even though Mike was a phenomenon he in the same category as Drake he used writers, Prince did everything and gave away songs he wrote

​@adillavelli That is not totally true. Michael Jackson wrote the majority of his hits, only a minority of them were written by other people. MJ was definitely more of an artist than Drake could ever hope to be. He also wrote songs for other artists, including Diana Ross. While it's true that Prince wrote more of his own songs, his music was simply nowhere near as successful as MJ's was. Prince also has several songs that wee coproduced or cowritten by his band mates. Purple rain was produced by Prince AND the revolution, not just Prince.

duh the dance too

@@adillavelliMichael Jackson wrote we are the world for all of the top stars in music including Prince and it’s the biggest charity song in music history homie..so what the hell are you talking about….we are the world 🌎..is better then the every song that Prince wrote for other people period…no cap

Prince as live performer is really an unbeleavable thing. Dude reinvetend himself so many times. Just look at Purple Rain Tour, Parade Tour, Sign O' Times Tour and Lovesexy Tour. Totally different .

​@@gabrielp1826 😅 he wasn't no Michael Jackson

@@noname-nobody1247 He didn't need to be. He was Prince.

@@noname-nobody1247 Thank goodness for that!!

@ruddock...exactly... MJ music is Disney....Prince music is for Adults some R - Rated...Sexy Mutha...Irresistible Bi**h...Erotic City...Head...Facedown...Let's Pretend We're Married...Do Me Baby..Lady Cab Driver etc ...Google Sexy Mutha Prince Glam Slam

Yeah 100% agree, MJ was the Kind of Pop already when he was 5 years old, coz there's no other 5 year old that reached the heights MJ did, He is the King of Pop for a reason, King over all other artists, doesn't matter what music genre

He had a better team of producers + the fame from Jackson 5. If he began his career like Prince, MJ would be a total nobody.

@@thomasrosendahl2783 Michael began writing songs when he was in his teens. He wrote Heartbreak Hotel, a Masterpiece, when he was around 17 years old. He did this BEFORE Quincy Jones. I’m sick of Prince fans trying to act as if Michael was not a musician, he was. Stop trying to elevate Prince by tearing down Michael. It won’t work. You people have tried that crap for 40+ years. Why is it MJ fans never HAD to tear Prince down in order to lift MJ up. It’s always been the Prince fans who START the comparisons. If you think Prince is better, then fine. You don’t need to compare or tear down Michael. They are two DIFFERENT artists. Compare Prince to someone like Rick James. They were VERY similar. However, you know that comparing Prince to MJ will get you the ATTENTION you crave. No one would give a damn if you compared him to Rick James, his nemesis.

@@thomasrosendahl2783bro it doesnt matter when or how Michael Jackson began his career, we cant change the past so Michael Jackson was always gonna be famous

FACTSSS family

And his whole catalog was outsold by 1 mj album😂😂😂😂......

@@ebonix33 you can stop lying now.

​@@ebonix33 even if that was true. You are talking sale, i am talking talent. Look at any top 40 charts, lots of people selling alot but not a musician and without auto tune, no real talent

​@scottsilverman9948 doing everything by yourself =/ quality. Quantity wise Prince probably wrote and produce more but quality wise MJ had it. Mj's self written and produced songs are way more successful and timeless.

Prince made 39 solo albums, MJ made 6 solo albums. Out of them 6 albums 3 of them are in the top 10 best selling albums of all time. And it ain't no popularity or influence contest, it was the immense talent thus the reason he has sold over 750 million records with them 6 albums and that's not including Jackson 5 and The Jacksons album. The man has sold over a billion records.

Don’t ever try it. Prince ain’t touching Michael’s talent. Ever

@@MarkoTiano you’re not wrong. And I’m not saying MJ isn’t one of the most talented people we’ve ever seen in music. He absolutely is and I love everything about Mike when it comes to being a performer, vocalist, and choreographer. And I love his music on top of all of that. But Prince is as well. When it comes to songwriting, producing, composing, being a multi instrumentalist, and album maker. It’s Prince. Prince didn’t do the numbers Mike did. But we also have to remember that Mike worked with some of the greatest to ever do it when making his classic albums. Rod Temperton, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney. While Prince was for the most part a one man army especially when it came to the music we know and love him for.

@@richild3967 Michael is undeniably one of the most talented people we’ve ever seen in music. I love him. But so is Prince. Prince was a one man army and became one of the most celebrated musicians being that. Mike was an unbelievable performer and vocalist. But he worked with some of the greatest producers and songwriters ever in music.

@@jeremyramos-auve4362 Let me add that basically all of Michael’s Number 1 hits were written Solely by HIM; not Quincy, Stevie, Paul or even Rod. NONE of these people wrote a #1 song for Michael. Michael’s biggest hits were written SOLELY by him. Do your research and stop guessing,

Doesn't make him better 😂

@@Snyper1405 of course it does

You don’t need to play instruments to be generally better than someone that plays instruments. Both artists claimed to be Pop artists they were both commercial.. Michael had the edge because he understood the industry more than Prince. Playing instruments is not a criteria in judging who makes better music. You can play 100 instruments if you want but Michael is who the majority prefers because he works seriously hard, he makes better music, Michael’s music is the bomb 💣! , have you seen the man on stage ?? You don’t go to a Michael concert and come back the same way. Your mind must be blown away. He dances and sings for 2 hrs straight and just so you know, dancing is one of the hardest things to do.. you’re not a dancer so you don’t know. dancing is an art form on its own and continuously literally destroys your feet and toes . Prince has calm songs so it’s easier to perform them without losing breathe. That’s why many people think he has better vocals.. listen to Michael performing ballads like she’s out of my life and tell me that isn’t a majestic voice. And what do you mean wrote ? Didn’t Michael write ? Did Michael not produce ? Michael literally said he doesn’t force the music, he waits for the music to come to him.. anyone that makes music that way will have better music than those who feel like they need to make music everyday. It doesn’t work If you force yourself to make music most of your songs will be mid. You don’t walk into the studio to record just because you want to record music ! If your music is to speak truth you have to wait and experience something before you put it into words. So I don’t care if Prince wrote twice as many songs as Michael wrote. Michael wrote songs and he was good at it and his songs were smash hits. Michael and his brothers left Motown because they didn’t allow them write their own songs on Motown, they went to Epic records on a condition that they are allowed creative control. Michael Produced.. I only recently found out that Michael produced half the tracks on Destiny and Triumph albums respectively while he was still in the Jackson’s. Michael produced every song on Dangerous, Teddy Riley was in charge of making the beats and Michael was in charge of the whole production and mixing , while Bruce sweiden did the mastering. One of my favorite songs ever “THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US” was fully written, produced, mixed and mastered by Michael. So don’t ever say Michael can’t produce. He can do it on his own if he wanted to, he just loved other to be around and chip in ideas.

@@antman1972 as a matter of fact I don’t need to say much. Watch the video and see who people choose

Naa Michael still got him on talent he could sing dance and wrote 🐐

Nop xd

nah dude i have questioning

Stop trippi'n 😂😂😂

I'm going with the guy who makes great music, owns a lot of people's music, and owns all his own music. Contrary to the guy who makes all his own works then gets played for them. Fighting over a decade just to get those master tapes back. MJ would stress out his body just to do the Bad Tour. Not even Rockstars of that time had it that hard. So I know Prince isn't fking with MJ on the basis of Live shows. Prince needed an instrument. Mike's entire vessel was the instrument. Can't beat that.

@@Edgesofnowhere008you said a whole lotta NOTHING😂Prince is better

MJ CONCERT tours minus the this is it tour are weak and disappointing compared to a Prince tour. Where Prince would perform a guitar solo in his act-MJ GETS IN A LINE ON STAGE and plays air guitar to a solo with other people. That is lame and subpar entertainment from MJ.

Exactly

Prince got dance rhythm of a white boy..​@@jjjones8609

​@@jjjones8609LOL. Are you serious right now? You're saying that an MJ tour is crap compared to a Prince tour?

Perfectly said. Salute

Right....I don't even understand why this is a debate seriously

Prince ... cuz he wrote all his songs and played multiple instruments sang better than Michael too

@@XxThePhantomFreezexX lol. Michael Jackson was inducted into the vocal group hall of fame as one of the best singers of all time. Prince wasn't. Michael Jackson was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame as one of the most successful songwriters of all time. Prince wasn't. End of story

@@for-house-stark Prince was hated on by tha industry cuz of his stance against labels

@@XxThePhantomFreezexX you think prince was hated more than Michael Jackson was hated? Not even close. MJ was demonized by the industry and the media more viciously than prince ever was.

Exactly. Clearly there’s no debate. MJ is king

Hit'em with the facts!!! Prince was our modern-day Mozart. He was a true master of music. G.O.A.T.

Beautiful analogy

Let me add some Michael FACTS that you don’t seem to know. Michael was MASSIVELY popular; however he was one of the most humble, kind, giving, pure hearted artists ever. He loved his fans with an UNWAVERING devotion. Thus, the reason his fans, 40+ years later, still love, respect, admire and defend him 100%. I don’t know ANY other artist who would donate ENTIRE tour grosses to charity. Michael DID. I don’t know any other artists who would go to hospitals to visit sick children on EVERY tour. I don’t know any other artist who donated over $500 millon in charity while alive & left 20% in his Will to charity. EVERYONE who worked with him or met him said there was never any arrogance or rudeness about him. He cared about QUALITY over quantity.We always KNEW that every MJ album was going to be great, videos amazing, etc. because Michael took his time and didn’t release any half assed 💩. Yes, he was Popular; but, he cared about his craft because he wanted to present us with his BEST. Maybe, that’s why his music has lasted the test of time. Maybe that’s why new generations are discovering his music, videos every single day. MJs music had ALWAYS appealed to every race, age, genre, etc. That FACT has not changed today,

@@rayhardy449 I'm sorry you took offense to my original comment. But nothing you said contradicts anything I said. I said Michael obviously cared a lot about his art. And when I mentioned Prince's character, I was intentional about mentioning that those comments had nothing to do with MJ because I didn't know him personally and can't speak to his character like I can Prince's (who also donated entire tour proceeds to charity, by the way). I'm glad so many people recognize the greatness of both of these artists and their lasting impact on the world. 💜

Thank you !!!!!!

@frankzuniga for you and most of the world population. MJ is the GOAT

NAME ANOTHER ARTIST THAT PLAY 27 INSTRUMENTS...I'll wait. How many HIT songs did Mike write for other artists...Prince wrote MANY. Prince was one of a kind...wayyyy ahead of his time. Name another artist like PRINCE. That you look at, and go "oh...he's like Prince" Prince defined "unique". There will NEVER be another Prince. There will NEVER be another MJ. But for me...PRINCE all day.
