Tavis Smiley Shares the Legacy of Michael Jackson in New Book + Conversation W/ Prince about Michael 

yeah when it was too late. he spent the 80s and 90s being bitter

Michaels the biggest artist ever

prince was mean to michael for years

yes definitely

did what write a book?

DJ Gary show his admiration for prince

+clue104 oh ok

mj barely knew prince. he was always nice to him tho

in the 80s he literally despised Michael............ for some reason he always did

Agreed but I think being that Joe had his hands in it Micheal wasn't allowing it..

one lip-synced on stage. The other was the greatest performer in music history.

Yeah, you're right about that. He was brilliant.

You can tell Prince cared about Michael because I bet he was a fan of the Jackson 5 like so many people in their childhood during the late 60s and during the 2005 trial he deleted bad comments from people on his Twitter page who were talking about Michael. I think that Pepsi commercial burn to his skull is was what started him on taking pain medication because if people saw the photos, they’d understand how painful it was. And I’m sure he had a hard time sleeping after THAT too. But I think his insomnia started way back during his childhood in the Jackson 5 days because they were working so hard like adults, staying up late practicing and performing and when you’re the star of the group at THAT age, of course you get more of the burden. But I wish Tavis Smiley would've talked to some Michael Jackson fans before making THIS book because the ONLY thing missing in THAT book were the corrupt corporate people that Michael was dealing with who were helping to destroy him and his career. Of course the clueless and haters DON'T know THIS because the media played a part of it too since they work along with SONY and were helping to spread lies about Michael to stop him from gaining more fans. People wanted him dead (which is something Tavis Smiley doesn’t know) and wanted those music catalogues and THAT tour was a set up and the ONLY way to get it back to SONY. Why do YOU THINK Sony is so serious about getting it anyway NOW that he’s gone? Corrupt people were forging signatures (like sneaky Tohme Tohme) to get Michael to do 50 shows when it was supposed to be ONLY 10 shows. And Michael wasn't taking drugs just to get high, he had serious health issues that could be life threatening and Lupus can sometimes cause cancer and dos cause people to go bald. This is why he was at a Lupus fund raiser in 2003 for a reason. When you have so many health issues at once, of course there’s gonna be a lot of medication to take along with it. So don't call him a drug addict as if you’re trying to say he was JUST trying to get high. Now Elvis on the other hand was the one getting high on cocaine, but you won't hear the racially BIAS media bringing that S**T up, them and their secretive ass selves. Michael's medication wasn't strong enough for all the health problems he had, he just had to take it to live on and THAT tour wasn't helping either because it made it hard for him to go to sleep. People need sleep, period, and without it, your mind isn't right because I KNOW what that feels like and experienced THAT before. You forget a lot of things and feel like a zombie, but I don't take medication for anything unless it's for cramps or serious physical pain from whatever. So clueless people need to get THAT straight. And "dumb dumb" Conrad Murray let the Propofol drip in Michael's body and forgot to STAY IN TH DAMN ROOM which is why Michal stopped breathing since Murray didn't come back in time. A wake up call to anybody who doesn’t know what the F**K was going on.

This is so sad. But I do remember when Prince was doing interviews with different people (like Tom Joyner), during the time that Michael was going through over the allegations and it was considered "cool" to bash Michael, they would try to get Prince to badmouth Michael and he would never take the bait which made me love him all the more. RIP to them both.

"Tavis" smiley

God bless you🙂

prince turned it down

@@AC-mp7cx yes I remember Michael wanted Prince to be a a part of heal the world! 💜💜💜💜

Marko Tiano Prince actually turned down an opportunity to duet with Michael on the song, "Bad," so it wasn't going to happen.

michael ddint die from surgery

Those mammaries got your young as mesmerized, huh?

😧😷😝

Lmao

Definitely a jewel

Who belongs in jail?

clue104 John Landis, the director whose actions directly caused the death of actor Vic Morrow and two child actors on the set of "The Twilight Zone" movie back in 1982.

That's bullshit. Michael never said that about Prince. That's a media lie.

Laurie Solomon Wrong. Michael use to rewind the performance that he and Prince did with James Brown when Prince almost fell. So he's been a bitter dude. Sorry.....your wrong again. You're on a streak

I don't know him.

Keep in mind that the people who put this stuff out, waited until he died to do so. Also keep in mind that all of his accusers went back on what they said, and admitted to lying about Michael Jackson, just for money.

None of these stories that came out are consisting of new "evidence". Recycled annual garbage. They take advantage of the general public for the sake of a salacious headline. Just think about it. If the LAPD (THE L-A-P-D...) found anything even remotely close to "child pornography", things would be a lot different. They ultimately destroyed his home, finding nothing.

Exactly. FBI didn't find anything that was inappropriate and if they did find porn, it was adult porn. Folks still believe he was a molester even though there are facts to prove he wasn't.

Before you say that, go watch the abc afterlife documentary on Michael and then showed that place BEFORE all this shit happened. So I will this. The reason why people believe this is because Michael looked odd and acted different from everyone instead of taking time to understand a human being because he is human first of all. Also anyone who believes this, strongly suggest studying this man and what he has gone through (especially watch this movie called Life of An Icon) so don't judge a man that there is 0 proof of this ever happening and the kids that said that he did said they lied soooooo
