Eymarr Blank I asked you a simple question: do you know what "less genius" and "more genius" is? My bet you can't answer that question, yet you keep repeating it.
Michael - Vocals, songwriting, stage presence, ability to access great session players/musicians, fashion, looks. Prince - Vocals, songwriting, stage presence, great concepts e.g. albums creating eras, fashion, looks, self recording/producing, and this is where Prince wins, Prince is a virtuoso plays basically all instruments available and more than beast at each instruments like Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums etc… more than Pro fissionable at each of those and master of his voice!!!
Idk. Some of the eq-ing on rince's music is downright bad. Really hard to listen to. He was a better musician if you consider that being able to play a wide variety of instruments. Mike was in a whole nother league as a song writer though, not factoring in dancing and entertaining.

I'm gonna have 2 say what Stevie Wonder say on the interview of Rolling Stones magazine Michael Jackson may be the king of pop, but Prince should be the emperor! Can't argue with the legendary Stevie Wonder. Sorry but not sorry!
Michael Jackson was better because people cared about him more. I adore Prince. He was a phenomenon. But he wasn't the King of Pop. He was a highly influential singer who will go down as a legend. But there has yet to be one pop singer who even approaches Michael's legacy. He had hit after hit after hit. Prince had plenty of hits but no where near Michael. I get it Anthony, you're approaching this question from the perspective of someone who lives and breathes music and from there I could see why you would choose Prince, he is the better musician. But music isn't simply about technical ability. Michael's skill was the ability to bring in everybody, no matter who they were, to groove to his music. I've talked to hardcore racists who couldn't help but sing along and dance to his music. It's so infectious, so joyous you can't help but like it. Prince has a lot of great music but a lot of it sounds very dated. Michael's music sounds timeless.

I guess Jay Z aint top 5 because MCHG was traaaash. And Biggie and Tupac died in their primes, so we will never know what their albums would sound like nowadays
A M B I T I O U S Eminem hasn't made a great album since The beginning of the Bush Adminstration the 2nd half of his career has been bad album after bad album Nas had only dropped 2 bad albums his whole career
3:49 Lol, that comment about the Chainsmokers having made better music in 2017 than Radiohead did in 2016. Has to be trolling... Otherwise.. Hell no, in what universe?
Okay, Maladroit is definitely not the best weezer album imo, but I can understand why some people would believe it to be. Honestly outside of the typically praised handful of albums (blue, Pinkerton, white, EWBAITE) it's probably one of their most under-appreciated solid albums.
Michael Jackson > Prince Prince as an individual was extremely talented as he played multiple instruments, wrote, produced and recorded virtually everything himself, but he made a lot of songs that I just never cared for. MJ on the other hand, both as a solo artist and with The Jackson 5 had so many quality songs that are memorable and easy to like. The songs Michael himself wrote were up to bar with the songs he didn't write + he's by far the best dancer of the two. In terms of vocal ability/range they are pretty even, but I prefer the sound of Michael's voice overall.
Van Morrison once said that the only difference between gospel and soul is that in the first they sing about God and in the latter they sing about a woman. So there's that. I don't think a genre should be defined by lyrics alone.
unfortunately it just so happens that if an artist makes a gospel song, the music is probably equally as wack. aesthetically they're just all messed up.
@fantano i think you greatlay underestimate MJ's msuical and writing ability. you know most of the songs on Thriller and Bad where Demos created by MJ first before he brought to quincy and the session musicians most fo those compositions werent greatly changed. But yes Prince is well clear but MJ was closer than people thought he was. Just saying.
@@JoseGarcia-ki3vk that's not really an answer. Of course there is a place Prince can go that MJ. Can't but what I'm saying is MJ was also around the best Musicians of the time at Motown and then continued to be around them as he grew older. Further to the point MJ was a professional musician before Prince and The Jackson 5 was an influence to Prince growing up, that says something. Peace
Michael was well-aware of how great Prince was. He saw him as genuine competition. The entire Bad album was a direct response to Purple Rain, and the title track was meant to be a duet with him in the first place. So regardless of who you prefer, Prince was a major influence on Mike, and I'm not sure the same is true the other way around.
Did you really use XXL as an example of him being talented lol? That's a pretty low bar. They choose entirely off of popularity and Lil B i obviously popular. Lil B is talented in the sense of charisma and general appeal, but he is not very talented musically. At least not anywhere near the level his popularity would imply.
@@codeytherex5954 kendrick has no MJ influence whatsoever. Maybe he's more of "inspired" but in terms of music, there's no MJ influence on any of his songs. Kendrick is mostly infuenced by artists like Andre 3000 - who is heavily influenced by prince. Kendrick also plays a live show with prince, kendrick even claims that prince is one of the influence to his tpab album and says that there should be a prince featured song on the album but didn't make it on time.
It doesn't make sense. Especially if they've been doing it for over 2 decades. And also that other rappers who die in their prime automatically puts them at the top, while not knowing how the quality of their albums would be like nowadays
Uno Unk he played guitar so that makes him awesome??? Listen to MJ's little Suzie song..then u will come to know about his genius...and anybody can learn to play guitar..its not something special about it....but for mj his body was a musical instrument in itself...mj was exceptional talent..prince was just another musician
@@nitesh_narayan Anybody can play guitar?? Okay then. Go pick up a guitar. Take a lesson for few years. Then try to come up with anything close to the solo that Prince did in the live performance of "while my guitar gently weeps." Video is available on UA-cam. Oh and do upload the video when you do that. Seriously, buddy??! If you say that Prince was just another musician, you obviously do not know shit about music. Prince or Michael, neither of them was "just another artist". Everyone likes both of them, some of them just think one is better than the other in a few ways.
Prince not only was a musical genius, his concerts by far were more entertaining. Michael lip synced and name me one song that you can be romantic with ? Prince has too many.
I respect anyone's opinion who says Prince but I wholeheartedly disagree. Just because Prince was a skilful guitarist that doesn't automatically make him a better artist as a whole - Michael's vocals and compositions are so brilliant and unique that I don't think Prince can quite compare. The run of albums from Off the Wall to Dangerous gave the world some of the most solid front to back albums in all history, whereas I find less of Prince's catalogue anywhere near as compelling, though I really enjoy his music too. It's kinda annoying that people always qualify MJ as the better performer and Prince as more of an artist because I feel like they are discrediting Michael's raw talent as one of the greatest artists of all time first and a performer second.
Amy Ashjari: Lol Prince wrote, produced, arragned and composed all of his own music. Prince mastered over 50 different musical instruments. Didn`t Quincy Jones produce thriller???? Prince dated many of the World`s most Beautiful women. He was a musical genius to the 1000th power more like. Jimi Hendrix, Mozart, Theolonius Monk, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Duke Ellinton, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder Etc.
How is who Prince dated even relevant to this discussion lmao. Michael also wrote most of his music and I think both Michael and Prince belong amongst those names, definitely musical geniuses in their own right. Sure, it's incredibly impressive that Prince played more instruments but that's just a contributing factor to what makes an artist great, in addition to their sheer vocal power and tone, compositions, innovation , emotions conveyed through music, influence on other performers, performance ability, timelessness of the music and general iconicness. I LOVE Prince believe me but I think Michael might just beat him out when considering all of those categories. I've listened heavily to both artists and that's what I think and it's totally fine that you disagree.
@@amya5369 Actually, the bulk of Michael's hits were written by the Porcoro Brother's of Toto, Rod Temperton of Heatwave, keboardist Greg Phillinganes and some help from Teddy Riley
Prince is more versatile than Jackson, but nothing he's done comes close to the sheer awesomeness of Off The Wall. Except for a few scattered singles across his 80's period.
Exactly. Price was stellar in most regards, especially guitar and vocal arrangements. That being said, Michael Jackson wins out over Prince for me on the simple principle that he knew how to collaborate: Quincy Jones, the guys from Toto, etc. Jackson always partnered with the best people to achieve the best result on his records. Prince sometimes had too much pride for his own good (he was massive control freak compared to MJ) and as a result he never did a record that just kills all the way through except for maybe Purple Rain. And this is coming from a guy who owns almost everything Prince has released.
Michael Jackson's Thriller sold more than Prince's entire catalog , that FACT alone proves there is no comparison , yes i agree (more sales does not always mean a better artist) , but .. not at that level of difference .The comparison between the two was just a silly media hype that is unfortunately still believed by some delusional People , Michael Jackson was/is and will always be on another level , and that's a scientific fact that can be proven, tested and repeated .
MindShow By M.Alhabili thank you for the truth you're absolutely right Thriller sold more than everyone's catalog this guy need to go back to music history
Sales mean nothing damn it. Thriller outsells everyone's catalog but guess fucking what: There are better albums. Purple Rain among them. And yes, "at that level of difference." If Thriller is the best selling album, that makes MJ the best artist, right? Fat chance. MJ is a legend. But the Prince hate must stop. Prince is possibly not human and composed, performed, produced, wrote, and arranged his own music. It is Prince who is on another level. I feel as if a lot of you have not listened to anything beyond When Doves Cry and Purple Rain when 1999 and Dirty Mind are among the greatest albums ever.
As someone said : There is no such thing as “your truth.”, There is the truth and your opinion . You can say Prince is better than Michael Jackson , this is your opinion , but when it comes the truth , numbers speaks volume : Total sales MJ: 350M Prince: 100M Grammy Awards MJ : 13 Prince : 8 American Music Awards MJ : 26 Prince : 6 By the way , MJ is The most awarded person/entertainer/artist/group of all time: 372 recognized awards , Prince is nowhere near that , or lets just say : It's embarrassing . Michael Jackson's Thriller : 37 weeks at No. 1 Billboard 200 Albums Chart Prince's 'Purple Rain : 24 weeks at No. 1 Billboard 200 Albums Chart Best song : MJ ,Billie Jean , No. 1 (7 weeks), Prince ,When Doves Cry , No. 1 (5 weeks), List of 100 Best selling albums of all times : MJ : 5 Prince : 1 Number 1 singles on Billboard Hot 100 charts MJ : 13 Prince : 5 Top 10 singles on Billboard Hot 100 charts MJ: 30 Prince : 19 Top 40 singles on Billboard Hot 100 charts MJ : 38 Prince : 30 As u can see loud and clear, there is no competition except in a delusional mind , that is the truth , but hay , you can have your own opinion :)
Large LArry Well this comment was a joke (you must be new here). And Jacob genuinely makes horrible music and many people can agree with that. Don’t take every comment you read seriously.
Jessie the cat :3 do you expect him to be a lyrical genius at 13. It’s not his fault that he’s surrounded by people trying to exploit his popularity for their own benefit. Just ignore him.
Ngl, people who tell MJ is better than Prince, just take the moment to at least watch a concert or a live performance of Prince. Maybe, if you feel it after that, you will take the courage to hear 3 or 4 Prince albums, and you will take in count how most of the work of Prince is incredible and perfection "on his own way". I respect and love both MJ and Prince's music, but MJ took way more consideration on how to promote his music than Prince ever did, that's why he has more recognition as an artist (and a little bit overrated as an "artist", he was a great singer and one of the best performance the world have ever seen, but it doesnt chance the fact that most of his 80's music was so great due to Quincy, Temperton and Toto's touch, not entirely because of MJ as the people think).
Ephraim Nana Antwi Off the wall is probably Jackson best. Or more accurately, Jackson and quincy Jones best album. Sign o the times is a better album and entirely written by Prince himself. Prince > mj.
Am I the only one that thinks SAT 3 > 2 > 1? I think Brockhampton evolved on all three projects. The final part of the trilogy is superior with its more experimental approach

@@07nikhilchaudhari83 You don't need to be "educated" in music in order to enjoy something more than the other. However, judging by you comment, you haven't listen to Michael's albums at all. You probably know only Thriller and Bad, which on their own are two of the greatest musical pieces.
@@yoana1649 You need to have at least a basic musical sense to understand musical greatness of someone. Most of you probably only listen to Michael Jackson and some few other pop artists. If I start mentioning most critically acclaimed artists and albums i bet you probably won't even know half of them. Off the wall and thriller are best MJ albums for me, but still how many prince albums have you listened? I doubt if even one. The king was king of pop, pop music which is basically supposed to be popular, to be commercially successful. When you go deeper into music, start listening other acclaimed stuff, many music genres, MJ just becomes a great pop stat for you whereas prince a musical genius
@@yoana1649 greatest musical pieces. Yeah you talk as if they are some musical Symphonies made by Beethoven. It's just great pop music, nothing genius or greatest musically.
The man , the myth, the freaking legend: Michael Jackson. He was the ultimate performer. On and off stage and when we say superstar: Michael Jackson is the pinnacle! Ya'll wanna be superstars? You aint aiming for Prince, you're aiming for Michael! Dream on folks. He was the Great Gatsby!
Who is the bigger superstar? MJ. Who is better music artist? PRINCE. A real musician never wants to be a superstar, a real musician wants to be a musical genius like PRINCE.
@@icouldntfindanickname7077 In the technical musician sense? No he isn't really a great musician. He was newbie at instruments but as the musician has different meaning nowadays, yeah MJ was a real musician. But i am not talking about him, i am talking about the Op comment here.
Jackson: better voice, better dancer. Everything else: Prince by a country mile. Also, Prince banged adults. That last is not a musical observation, I realise that.
@@tonybates7870 The jury is not always right however if you look at the facts they were clearly right in this case. Not only was MJ's guilt never proven but his lawyer pretty much proved his innocence beyond all reasonable doubt
@@tonybates7870 Bro.. there's evidence to prove the accusers as liars. The court case for MJ was so easy for the lawyers. They did prove his innocence beyond reasonable doubt.
The only Michael Jackson album I have listened to all the way through is Off The Wall. Every other one I give up after about track 4. Prince I could listen to all day long
Prince is a genius not one of Mj's album touches Purple Rain, Sign o the Times, 1999, and Parade. Michael is influential and that is fact however Prince Body of work as whole stomps on Michael's and when it comes to their stage performance they are a tie and if you have never seen a Prince concert your opinion is invalid. You can bring up sales if you want to, but it doesn't desguise the fact Prince was a better body of work hell you can even say the same about Janet and Madonna. Michael never progressed as an artist this is fact.
Dangerous was a step forward, HIStory was a step back and he probably knew it. Why else would MJ only sell HIStory with the first disc being a greatest hits CD?
There's nothing to argue about with Michael and Prince. Both were great singers and performers but Prince did everything, was more prolific and was an amazing guitarist.
@@iamamultimillionaire6299 It's funny to idiots that don't care about child abuse. But it can easily happen to them or their children. Life is a bitch.
I'll never understand why people are obsessed with comparing Michael to Prince. They're absolutely nothing alike. It's like comparing Sammy Davis Jnr to Jimmy Hendrix, or Andy Warhol to Picasso ie, ridiculous and pointless! Just stop.
They were both black contemporary pop androgenous artists born in disco with high pitch voices, and they both danced, they are indeed very comparable. If you like one better than the other and you don't like people saying you're wrong it's your own problem. Music discussion is healthy and entertaining, stop shutting it off.
@@thedudeunderyourbed8474 I genuinely can't compare them because they both made different types of music. I love them both but they weren't the same in their impacts. Michael had a further reach and a larger influence because everyone could listen to him it didn't matter. Prince on the other had wasn't meant for everyone. He was definitely for the grown and sexy. It think it just depends on the sound you are looking for. Everyone has know Michael since we were children. Most people don't find about prince until they are a bit older to understand the stuff he was singing about.

Both are great for different reasons, but I think Michael Jackson is a better performer/entertainer and he is more iconic. He's also a better singer in my opinion.
@Tanguy2412 "healthiness" in singing feels like a pseudoscience. Everybody on the Internet disagrees about it and the people who hurt their voice usually just sang far too much. Don't sing when it hurts and you probably shouldn't be singing two hours every evening for weeks. That's all the health tips you need.

I like that fantano weighed up both sides of the Prince Michael Jackson arguement. And he gave his opinion in the most neutral way he could (by not shitting on mj’s aspects that he thinks prince done better)
So I guess Nas aint top five either then cause nastradamus was traaaassssshh
A M B I T I O U S exactly what I was thinking
I guess Jay Z aint top 5 because MCHG was traaaash. And Biggie and Tupac died in their primes, so we will never know what their albums would sound like nowadays
It wasnt as bad as streets disciple though.
A M B I T I O U S Eminem hasn't made a great album since The beginning of the Bush Adminstration the 2nd half of his career has been bad album after bad album Nas had only dropped 2 bad albums his whole career

3:49 Lol, that comment about the Chainsmokers having made better music in 2017 than Radiohead did in 2016. Has to be trolling... Otherwise.. Hell no, in what universe?
Okay, Maladroit is definitely not the best weezer album imo, but I can understand why some people would believe it to be. Honestly outside of the typically praised handful of albums (blue, Pinkerton, white, EWBAITE) it's probably one of their most under-appreciated solid albums.
These segments are too short
Michael Jackson > Prince
Prince as an individual was extremely talented as he played multiple instruments, wrote, produced and recorded virtually everything himself, but he made a lot of songs that I just never cared for. MJ on the other hand, both as a solo artist and with The Jackson 5 had so many quality songs that are memorable and easy to like. The songs Michael himself wrote were up to bar with the songs he didn't write + he's by far the best dancer of the two. In terms of vocal ability/range they are pretty even, but I prefer the sound of Michael's voice overall.
No way Prince has a better personality than Michael are you serious
right wtf?
Honestly never been a fan of Prince personally, always liked MJ more
Prince worst to best pleeeaase, I need this
I think Saturation II is the best one followed by III and last I, but they are all amazing anyways.
Van Morrison once said that the only difference between gospel and soul is that in the first they sing about God and in the latter they sing about a woman. So there's that. I don't think a genre should be defined by lyrics alone.
unfortunately it just so happens that if an artist makes a gospel song, the music is probably equally as wack. aesthetically they're just all messed up.
@fantano i think you greatlay underestimate MJ's msuical and writing ability. you know most of the songs on Thriller and Bad where Demos created by MJ first before he brought to quincy and the session musicians most fo those compositions werent greatly changed. But yes Prince is well clear but MJ was closer than people thought he was. Just saying.
i dont think we underestimate it we just think prince is better in terms of musical and writing ability
@@JoseGarcia-ki3vk that's not really an answer. Of course there is a place Prince can go that MJ. Can't but what I'm saying is MJ was also around the best Musicians of the time at Motown and then continued to be around them as he grew older. Further to the point MJ was a professional musician before Prince and The Jackson 5 was an influence to Prince growing up, that says something. Peace

Grumbledore Music true
Grumbledore Music 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 good joke
Based on what ? Your subjectivity ? lmao your the best fellas
you're*
Omer Farooq They say the best jokes are funny because they're true.
Michael was well-aware of how great Prince was. He saw him as genuine competition. The entire Bad album was a direct response to Purple Rain, and the title track was meant to be a duet with him in the first place. So regardless of who you prefer, Prince was a major influence on Mike, and I'm not sure the same is true the other way around.
Lil B is actually talented. No meme lasts as long as he does so it's obviously more than meme.
Nah, he's just a really likeable guy. His music is mostly for shits and giggles
Did you really use XXL as an example of him being talented lol? That's a pretty low bar. They choose entirely off of popularity and Lil B i obviously popular. Lil B is talented in the sense of charisma and general appeal, but he is not very talented musically. At least not anywhere near the level his popularity would imply.
vVPrototypeVv Same class as Kendrick and much more depth than you give him credit for.
PattyBoy I find it hard to believe the guy who made Wonton soup is in the same class as the guy who made To Pimp A Butterfly...
Aminoff The Don His cypher is right before Kendrick's too
2pac and Biggie were even influenced by Prince Pac has a whole list of songs based of prince when thugs cry when doves cry
But it's MJ that ended up featuring rap music on his records. The rap artists respected MJ for it.
Kendrick also has MJ influence
The. Why did 2pac sample Michael Jackson song librarian girl?
@@codeytherex5954 kendrick has no MJ influence whatsoever. Maybe he's more of "inspired" but in terms of music, there's no MJ influence on any of his songs. Kendrick is mostly infuenced by artists like Andre 3000 - who is heavily influenced by prince. Kendrick also plays a live show with prince, kendrick even claims that prince is one of the influence to his tpab album and says that there should be a prince featured song on the album but didn't make it on time.

Leo Hamato bruh I said that cause his grammar was bad
@Leo Hamato lol
I choose the better singer, the better artist, the better songwriter and the one who plays instruments.
Prince was better musician and singer, but Jackson was better dancer (although he did not invent his dance steps)
One awful album doesn't ruin someone's previous artistry but 4/5 of their last albums being awful definitely helps.
It doesn't make sense. Especially if they've been doing it for over 2 decades. And also that other rappers who die in their prime automatically puts them at the top, while not knowing how the quality of their albums would be like nowadays
Stuart Keating eg. Andre 3000
Recovery > Nastradamus, Magna Carta Holy Grail.
To Pimp A Butterfly Andre 3k stopped rapping. That's why
Stuart Keating well he hasn’t stopped rapping. His features are so consistently off the wall, and OutKast were around for 11 years
No arguing needs to be done here
Fred Durst: Confirmed OG
Prince was awesome but cmon Michael was a god!
lupehn best explaination
Michael was more popular but not as talented, Prince was an amazing guitar player not just a singer
Uno Unk he played guitar so that makes him awesome??? Listen to MJ's little Suzie song..then u will come to know about his genius...and anybody can learn to play guitar..its not something special about it....but for mj his body was a musical instrument in itself...mj was exceptional talent..prince was just another musician
@@nitesh_narayan Anybody can play guitar?? Okay then. Go pick up a guitar. Take a lesson for few years. Then try to come up with anything close to the solo that Prince did in the live performance of "while my guitar gently weeps." Video is available on UA-cam. Oh and do upload the video when you do that.
Seriously, buddy??! If you say that Prince was just another musician, you obviously do not know shit about music. Prince or Michael, neither of them was "just another artist". Everyone likes both of them, some of them just think one is better than the other in a few ways.
Dyutiparna Guha bro I'm a already a trained guitarist 😂😂😂😂 so don't tell me 😂😂😂
Prince not only was a musical genius, his concerts by far were more entertaining. Michael lip synced and name me one song that you can be romantic with ? Prince has too many.
I respect anyone's opinion who says Prince but I wholeheartedly disagree. Just because Prince was a skilful guitarist that doesn't automatically make him a better artist as a whole - Michael's vocals and compositions are so brilliant and unique that I don't think Prince can quite compare. The run of albums from Off the Wall to Dangerous gave the world some of the most solid front to back albums in all history, whereas I find less of Prince's catalogue anywhere near as compelling, though I really enjoy his music too.
It's kinda annoying that people always qualify MJ as the better performer and Prince as more of an artist because I feel like they are discrediting Michael's raw talent as one of the greatest artists of all time first and a performer second.
Amy Ashjari: Lol Prince wrote, produced, arragned and composed all of his own music. Prince mastered over 50 different musical instruments. Didn`t Quincy Jones produce thriller???? Prince dated many of the World`s most Beautiful women. He was a musical genius to the 1000th power more like. Jimi Hendrix, Mozart, Theolonius Monk, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Duke Ellinton, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder Etc.
How is who Prince dated even relevant to this discussion lmao. Michael also wrote most of his music and I think both Michael and Prince belong amongst those names, definitely musical geniuses in their own right.
Sure, it's incredibly impressive that Prince played more instruments but that's just a contributing factor to what makes an artist great, in addition to their sheer vocal power and tone, compositions, innovation , emotions conveyed through music, influence on other performers, performance ability, timelessness of the music and general iconicness. I LOVE Prince believe me but I think Michael might just beat him out when considering all of those categories. I've listened heavily to both artists and that's what I think and it's totally fine that you disagree.
@@amya5369 Actually, the bulk of Michael's hits were written by the Porcoro Brother's of Toto, Rod Temperton of Heatwave, keboardist Greg Phillinganes and some help from Teddy Riley
Prince can actually play 27 instruments. That’s 27 more than MJ
i can't believe you dismissed Prince as "as skilful guitarist". It's like someone dismissing MJ as a "good enough dancer"
Prince was a better overall musician, but Michael was the fucking King of Pop.
Prince is more versatile than Jackson, but nothing he's done comes close to the sheer awesomeness of Off The Wall. Except for a few scattered singles across his 80's period.
Gabonzo I use to think that way until I heard Sign "O" The Times! What an album!
Alec Reyna Great album, but not as good as Off The Wall. Just can't touch that title track.
Exactly. Price was stellar in most regards, especially guitar and vocal arrangements. That being said, Michael Jackson wins out over Prince for me on the simple principle that he knew how to collaborate: Quincy Jones, the guys from Toto, etc. Jackson always partnered with the best people to achieve the best result on his records. Prince sometimes had too much pride for his own good (he was massive control freak compared to MJ) and as a result he never did a record that just kills all the way through except for maybe Purple Rain. And this is coming from a guy who owns almost everything Prince has released.
Michael Jackson's Thriller sold more than Prince's entire catalog , that FACT alone proves there is no comparison , yes i agree (more sales does not always mean a better artist) , but .. not at that level of difference .The comparison between the two was just a silly media hype that is unfortunately still believed by some delusional People , Michael Jackson was/is and will always be on another level , and that's a scientific fact that can be proven, tested and repeated .
MindShow By M.Alhabili thank you for the truth you're absolutely right Thriller sold more than everyone's catalog this guy need to go back to music history
Sales mean nothing damn it. Thriller outsells everyone's catalog but guess fucking what: There are better albums. Purple Rain among them. And yes, "at that level of difference." If Thriller is the best selling album, that makes MJ the best artist, right? Fat chance. MJ is a legend. But the Prince hate must stop. Prince is possibly not human and composed, performed, produced, wrote, and arranged his own music. It is Prince who is on another level. I feel as if a lot of you have not listened to anything beyond When Doves Cry and Purple Rain when 1999 and Dirty Mind are among the greatest albums ever.
Andre Novacaine but where is purple rain in the history books stop making stuff up
As someone said :
There is no such thing as “your truth.”, There is the truth and your opinion .

Prince: 100M
Grammy Awards
MJ : 13
Prince : 8
American Music Awards
MJ : 26
Prince : 6
By the way , MJ is The most awarded person/entertainer/artist/group of all time: 372 recognized awards , Prince is nowhere near that , or lets just say : It's embarrassing .
Michael Jackson's Thriller :
37 weeks at No. 1 Billboard 200 Albums Chart
Prince's 'Purple Rain :
24 weeks at No. 1 Billboard 200 Albums Chart
Best song :
MJ ,Billie Jean , No. 1 (7 weeks),
Prince ,When Doves Cry , No. 1 (5 weeks),
List of 100 Best selling albums of all times :

Top 10 singles on Billboard Hot 100 charts
MJ: 30

As u can see loud and clear, there is no competition except in a delusional mind
, that is the truth , but hay , you can have your own opinion :)

Better at songwriting... Fine
More instrumental virtuosity... fine
More personality... OH HELL NAAH

Fight me on Maladroit, Melon
Ngl, people who tell MJ is better than Prince, just take the moment to at least watch a concert or a live performance of Prince. Maybe, if you feel it after that, you will take the courage to hear 3 or 4 Prince albums, and you will take in count how most of the work of Prince is incredible and perfection "on his own way". I respect and love both MJ and Prince's music, but MJ took way more consideration on how to promote his music than Prince ever did, that's why he has more recognition as an artist (and a little bit overrated as an "artist", he was a great singer and one of the best performance the world have ever seen, but it doesnt chance the fact that most of his 80's music was so great due to Quincy, Temperton and Toto's touch, not entirely because of MJ as the people think).
🤫mj is the king not Prince

Prince is a musical talent. The goal is to experiment and make great music.
MJ is a pop artist. The goal is to hit the chart as hard as he can.
@VincentHanna121 true
Prince is overrated asf 😂 he’s not touching mj and no shape or form
@Marcus Carpenter mj had very good songs too. Don’t put down mj to uplift prince.
@Marcus Carpenter but you didn’t have to put Down mj to uplift prince.
MJ had music that would mix genres and ground breaking music videos. Both MJ and Prince were experimental in different ways
You can't compare the two.. Prince was a musician and Michael was an Entertainer

Uranius Johnson yeah Harry Styles killed that track
Stan A pox upon thee.
Uranius Johnson Off The Wall kills whatever Prince did
Ephraim Nana Antwi Off the wall is probably Jackson best. Or more accurately, Jackson and quincy Jones best album. Sign o the times is a better album and entirely written by Prince himself. Prince > mj.
Uranius Johnson Thriller > Purple Rain
Taiga... that's all I gotta say
Since this is an opinion piece. Prince is aeons above the king of pop. Prince was an untouchable guitarist and a songwriting genius.
Am I the only one that thinks SAT 3 > 2 > 1? I think Brockhampton evolved on all three projects. The final part of the trilogy is superior with its more experimental approach
Guilherme Ferreira Completely agree. I feel like Saturation 3 only has one slightly weak moment that being Liquid. Bars aren't quite as good arguably as on 2 but it's marginal
They all sound the same and anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.
1=3, 2 SLIGHTLY lower
I agree ! But my fav still the SAT 2, the energy of the sounds ... the vibe ... I keep coming back.

You don't need to be "educated" in music in order to enjoy something more than the other. However, judging by you comment, you haven't listen to Michael's albums at all. You probably know only Thriller and Bad, which on their own are two of the greatest musical pieces.
@@yoana1649 You need to have at least a basic musical sense to understand musical greatness of someone. Most of you probably only listen to Michael Jackson and some few other pop artists. If I start mentioning most critically acclaimed artists and albums i bet you probably won't even know half of them. Off the wall and thriller are best MJ albums for me, but still how many prince albums have you listened? I doubt if even one. The king was king of pop, pop music which is basically supposed to be popular, to be commercially successful. When you go deeper into music, start listening other acclaimed stuff, many music genres, MJ just becomes a great pop stat for you whereas prince a musical genius
@@yoana1649 greatest musical pieces. Yeah you talk as if they are some musical Symphonies made by Beethoven. It's just great pop music, nothing genius or greatest musically.
The man , the myth, the freaking legend: Michael Jackson. He was the ultimate performer. On and off stage and when we say superstar: Michael Jackson is the pinnacle! Ya'll wanna be superstars? You aint aiming for Prince, you're aiming for Michael! Dream on folks. He was the Great Gatsby!
Who is the bigger superstar? MJ. Who is better music artist? PRINCE. A real musician never wants to be a superstar, a real musician wants to be a musical genius like PRINCE.

@@icouldntfindanickname7077 In the technical musician sense? No he isn't really a great musician. He was newbie at instruments but as the musician has different meaning nowadays, yeah MJ was a real musician. But i am not talking about him, i am talking about the Op comment here.

The greatest joke I have ever read take this L all of mj albums are 🔥
Are you okay Anthony? You seem stressed
Prince is a genius not one of Mj's album touches Purple Rain, Sign o the Times, 1999, and Parade. Michael is influential and that is fact however Prince Body of work as whole stomps on Michael's and when it comes to their stage performance they are a tie and if you have never seen a Prince concert your opinion is invalid. You can bring up sales if you want to, but it doesn't desguise the fact Prince was a better body of work hell you can even say the same about Janet and Madonna. Michael never progressed as an artist this is fact.
Adonte Cook Michael never progressed ? So Dangerous and HIStory were two step backs or what ? You seem to be really close minded.
I said what I said and I stand by what I stated hun you can stay mad about it
Adonte Cook I'm not even mad lol. Why should I. But you don't back up your arguments at all. I feel sorry for you.
Dangerous was a step forward, HIStory was a step back and he probably knew it. Why else would MJ only sell HIStory with the first disc being a greatest hits CD?
Adonte Cook michael was better w the kids. you know what i mean. jesus juice.
There's nothing to argue about with Michael and Prince. Both were great singers and performers but Prince did everything, was more prolific and was an amazing guitarist.

They were both black contemporary pop androgenous artists born in disco with high pitch voices, and they both danced, they are indeed very comparable. If you like one better than the other and you don't like people saying you're wrong it's your own problem. Music discussion is healthy and entertaining, stop shutting it off.
Its like comparing Arnold and Sly in the 80s , both from same era and same genre so that theyre compared isnt unusual
@@thedudeunderyourbed8474 I genuinely can't compare them because they both made different types of music. I love them both but they weren't the same in their impacts. Michael had a further reach and a larger influence because everyone could listen to him it didn't matter. Prince on the other had wasn't meant for everyone. He was definitely for the grown and sexy. It think it just depends on the sound you are looking for. Everyone has know Michael since we were children. Most people don't find about prince until they are a bit older to understand the stuff he was singing about.
