Man just hear the vocals and stop bull staff about his appeal and questions of his sexuality...in other words grow up. Music is vocals and Prince is a myth vocalist / instrumentalist. Earth wind and fire had no vocals on falsetto or MJ? Why the questions or you just discovered Prince? Come on
@@SephPlays Sure you have the right. You have all the right to know nothing but still you start questioning about everything apart from his music. The 80's was MJ and Prince and Madonna but i think its better to do first a search to the net yourself and then questioning yourself or the public for attention.
@@gfanarakos I enjoy learning as i go along, it gives me something to talk to people about. If i do all my research before hand then it wouldn't be a *Reaction* to his songs, it would be an analysis or review. And im definitely a reaction channel not a review channel.
@@SephPlays ok but your goal is to learn by all means not to get embarrassed by your innacuracy later... Remember youtube is not social media not the best wqy to learn and usually is like a place where inaccuracy and false information is the main source by the mass opinions. So i think what your interest here is how you handle your ideas and manner and emotions than thoughts than main information but its your choice.Anyway thnx again
I think this is from his 1st album released in 1978, I like some of his songs! He is very talented, just so you know some people may say this but there was no rivalry between MJ and Prince at all they both respected and admired each other as artists and musicians, so don't listen to that that's just something the media pushed because they were both black popular artists. Prince even performed Don't Stop Til You Get Enough and a song by The Jackaons a few years ago the performance is out there.
For all the people in the comments talking about Michael vs Prince Ill leave it here seeing a lot of comments about Prince doing all of his own Production and that" Michael did not", is a lie and a fallacy. Here’s the reality, Michael wrote and Produced a large portion of his music including 10 out of 13 of his Number One hits that were on billboard, as well as beatboxing to come up with beats, composing writing, etc, for all of his other albums as well .There are many differences between the two but the main one is that Michael believed in the quote, “if you want to go fast...go alone, but if you want to go far...go together, Michael always believed in togetherness, and as you know Seph he was in the jackson 5, then the Jacksons with his brothers, so he had always produced music with "others" he went to do his own writing etc.. in 1978, followed with off the wall in 1979. Prince was focused on making HIS best music, in his own lane, for his own ideas, he was more rock/indie. While Michael was focused on making THE best music for everyone in every nation etc.. to hear and like. Both were always phenomenal artists, but very different ways on the creation of their art, and finally they were friends not the opposite Prince locked himself in a room for three days crying after Michael had died if they "hated each other" as the press claimed why would he have cried as such? Only thing similar between Prince and Michael was they both had falsetto, but very different at the same time. And Prince had a jerry curl, in 84, Michael had one in 81/82. But overall apart from falsetto, and album releases Purple rain in 84, Thriller in 82 Off the wall in 79 Princes other album in 79, and sign o times by prince in 88, but BAD by Michael in 1987 They were not similar at ALL. Sorry for the long read just wanted to break that down for you .
Thank you very much for your words. Very well said. There's a video here on YT in which Prince sings and plays cover versions of Michael and The Jacksons 5 in his concerts ("Don't stop until you get enough / Shake your body / I want you back".) I don't do that if I don't like / admire the person in some way.
Finally a more clear distinction between them. I just want to add mj produced his music. He got a Grammy for Thriller for the producer of the year which he shared with Quincey Jones. There names are ingraved on the Grammy's.
Prince is indeed one man but he could do EVERYTHING! His first 2 albums were written, produced, arranged, by him alone. plus,he played all the instruments and sang every harmony. His vocal range is insane. He can go as high as he can go low. Purple Rain is his most well known album and a good place to start with his music. But Prince's real gems are his live performances.
Prince is a singular man. He has been known to be able to play most instruments, sing, dance, write music, and act ( Purple Rain being his most famous movie), and he has written music for many other artists, and have influenced many. Prince was amazing.
YAAAAAAAY!!! YOU REACTED TO PRINCE!!!! I'm glad you decided to do this today because, as someone already said, he sadly passed away 8 years ago today, April 21st, about 7 years after Michael. Prince is my second favorite artist after Michael Jackson. They were both at their prime in the '80s, so of course that made them rivals according to the media, and people often compare the two. Some of my favorite Prince songs are Let's Go Crazy, 1999, When Doves Cry, Diamonds and Pearls, and my FAVORITE song of his(probably my favorite song of all time) Purple Rain. I hope you decide to react more of him. I guarantee you.... You are in for a wild ride!!!💜💜💜💜
His name is actually Prince Rogers Nelson so Prince is not a title but his legal birth name also another fun fact Prince and MJ where born in the same year 1958
Yep! He’s one man. He has a gorgeous falsetto voice. He has great vocal range and sings in both upper and lower registers. You’re going to go on a wonderful journey should you decide to delve into his vast catalog. 💜 O(+>
Prince did all the voices and instruments on this whole album and most of his albums. Prince is very spicy with his lyrics. He has a wide vocal range. Definitely do more Prince.
Yeah...... I'm commenting again to warn you about MJ fans and Prince fans arguing about which one is better. It can get a little CRAZY sometimes. They weren't really rivals themselves. That was basically the media putting them against each other. The rivalry between MJ fans and Prince fans, however, is quite STRONG😅😅😅. I love them both, so I try to stay out of it as much as I can......
This is hilarious that you are 35 years old and never heard of Prince Seph. I thought the only person around that age who hasn't heard of him was Joey Essex but he also thought Richard and Judy were the people that created the world. 😂 My favourite songs of his are 1999 and The Most Beautiful Girl in The World.
A lot of us love Prince in America. When you watch Prince make sure you watch some of his live performance. Prince wrote his music and played all the instrument and he had other people he made music for.
What a curious introduction to Prince. Prince's career was massive, yet I would wager that most have not heard this song or the album from which it's taken. I had not. And if you think this song is spicy, just wait until you hear "Darling Nikki." Prince's 1984 album PURPLE RAIN is loaded with some of his greatest songs. You may have heard a couple of tunes from that record including "Let's Go Crazy," "When Doves Cry," and the amazing title track. But it's another stunner from this album, "The Beautiful Ones," that in my mind is his finest composition. It guts me every time.
Let's go!! But sad fact Prince passed away 8 years ago on April 21st also every vocal, lyric, and instrument is Prince this album isn't 'Prince' that's his second album this is actually his debut 'For You'
Prince was a gifted musician, singer, actor. Prince is a man with a beast of a falsetto when he chose to use it. He was from the Minneapolis, Minnesota scene and he was a rocker and pop singer. Prince and MJ were completely different.
Prince is an amazing artist ❤ glad you are reaching to this. Prince was one of the first artists to take on big record labels and take full artistic and economic control of his own catalog. When he changed his legal name and became The Artist Formerly Known as Prince we all groaned and rolled our eyes. But he was RIGHT and he kept cranking out amazing music. An icon to the day he died
Naw, that time he decided to go by that love symbol of his, and every time he was on some kind of show, they had to hold up that sign with the symbol on it to introduce him. Now THAT was wild😅😅.
"Is he a guy or a choir?" Funnily, that was pretty much the same reaction than the Warner Bros executive when he heard Prince's demo the first time. Then, he was told it was just one guy playing every instrument and singing, the executive was like "You're kidding, right?"
Prince was the man that many other artists looked up to for influence and inspiration. He was the musicians choice of musician. You'd do well to checkout his catalogue.
@@SephPlaysPrince is a person. Briliant artist, singer, guitar player and song writer. It is always very groovy and funky and doesn’t sound like Michael Jackson at all as you will learn over time 😊.
Yay Prince! He was from my hometown- Minneapolis. He used to host dance parties at his house, and I almost went to his last one. I really regret not going, but no one knew he was going to die shortly after.
It’s all Prince Seph lol he was able to do a lot with his voice after Elvis I listened to Prince a lot in the 80’s he was my favorite singer. Talented musician and artist and IMO to this day gave the best half time show at the Super Bowl he totally rocked it! Purple Rain epic!
Prince died in April 21 2016 of probably murder like micheal or an fentanyl overdose similar to micheals death. He died in his elevator while he’s on his way to see his therapist. Long story short His career and death is similar to micheals
Woah I didn’t expect this one 💯💯💯 Prince and Michael were often compared, but they were very different. Prince was more sexual and Michael was primarily geared toward being more family friendly. Michael was the entertainer and Prince was the magician/instrumentalist.
this is one of the first from prince. If you don t know Prince, you have a lot of to discover. He is an extravagant artist. Singer, world class guitar player, songwriter ofcourse, dancer. He made fantastic music and also music I do not understand and are unplayable for me. But all those pearls in his repertoire are worthwile the discovery. And what he did with his live shows was amazing. I appreciate Prince more than Micheal Jackson, for the music he created. He sang a lot with headvoice, but also "normal" voice.
Oh thank GOD! I'm not the only one! I always preferred Prince over MJ. I was never an MJ fan to be honest. Phew! Thought I was the cheese that stands alone on preferring Prince over MJ 😂 Thanks Paul for this 😎🎶🎸💙🙌💃
@@SephPlays You are so welcome Seph! If you want to hear a live performance by a natural counter- tenor here is a link for you: ua-cam.com/video/m0EBs6uRgtw/v-deo.htmlsi=G1ffTedPfngnlnU3 The Righteous Brothers are two guys. Bobby Hatfield is the guy singing this one solo. The intro with Andy Williams explains it all. This is a performance from 1965 on The Andy Williams Show. Andy Williams was also a popular male singer back in the day. Just letting you know Seph! P.S. Bass, Baritone, Tenor, & Counter- Tenor are the four main male singer vocal range classifications. Contralto, Mezzo- Soprano, and Soprano are the three main female singer vocal classifications. There are sub- classifications in each group. Example: Luciano Pavarotti is listed as a "full lyric tenor". Celine Dion is listed as a "full lyric soprano".
@@SephPlays That’s kind of amazing because along with MJ, Madonna, and Phil Collins, he was one of the biggest musicians of the 80s and into the 90s. He’s not my favorite but he has some great songs as well. I always appreciate your videos and reactions, Seph. Keep ‘em coming.
@storiedworlds6261 It's not that surprising to me really because sadly, Prince isn't that well-known overseas. For instance you could go to ANY country in the world with a MJ shirt on, and EVERYONE would know who he is. They might even start singing their favorite song. You can't say the same about Prince😢💜.
One of the biggest musicians of the 80‘s and 90‘s - in a way competing to Michael Jackson for a while, but Prince was always on his own way. You should definitely dig deeper into this rabbit hole. His album „Purple Rain“ is a classic throughout. But there is so much more amazing material.
That's all Prince on his first three albums he played all the instruments and song all the vocals, that's all him. That's why I always say Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer we've ever had, Prince is the greatest singer, writer, musician, producer, composer, and arranger we've ever had.
I would say Prince was a natural tenor. Most of the vocal ranges given for him are comfortably in the tenor range. However Prince could also sing in the high baritone range as well as the lower counter- tenor range. Now I have read blogs covering the topic of Prince's vocal range. No one really seems to be in agreement. Some put him as a baritone. Others as a tenor. One person even put him- to get even more specific- as a dramatic tenor. Prince's voice has never been "officially" categorized by "professionals" who do that sort of thing. Me? I'm a total plebe. I just think of Prince as a tenor 😉 What sub- classification of tenor I'll leave that to others to decide for themselves. Anyways: I hope you are doing well this fine Sunday Seph 🎶🎸🎶😎💙🙏💕 Peace ✌, light 🌞, love 💖, & blessings to one & all here as well 💕
Prince was a 1 man band, he later created bands & started the careers of The Time, Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, Sheila E. & Carmen Electra. He's written many hits like Manic Monday (the Bangles), Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead O'Connor) & Sugar Walls (Sheena Easton). He also taught himself how to play 27 instruments. If you want to go down the rabbit hole there is Controversy, 1999, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry (extended) Let's Go Crazy, Purple Rain & so many more, enjoy
The reply one person replied to me is not true. I’m not a secret prince hater. I just wanted you to see the mj and prince and James brown peformance in 1983!. He or she was just saying that cuz of what prince did at the end that I don’t wanna tell u cuz I’ll ruin it, I want u to see for yourself. So pls unheart the reply pls.
so surprised you reacted to 'In Love'! 'In Love' is often disregarded because it's Prince going the route of (you might not believe me when I say this but) more conventional RnB I guess.. it's one of the songs tho I couldn't stop having on repeat at the beginning of my journey through Prince catalog, composition-wise I've always found it shows the guy can write, the guy can arrange, if he wants to experiment, fine, but there's the solidest of foundations here anyway and even if he didn't experiment as much as he did, I wouldn't bat an eye; he ended up experimenting a lot obviously but you get my point. Absolute mastery on the vocals as well, 'For You' is splendid to the ear, has a touch of 'Mr. Sandman bring me a dream' in it too, it's just so beautiful man
OMG! You're way into your Michael Jackson journey, and now you've poked your nose down the Prince rabbit hole! They were both born in the summer of 1958 (along with Madonna; crazy coincidence, right?) When MJ and Prince were both at the height of their powers in the mid-80's, people felt like they had to choose (because there only seemed to be one slot available for a black guy who crossed over into pop at the time) - and yes, it was as ridiculous to me then as it sounds now. I was a huge fan of BOTH (saw my first MJ concert at 4 in 1971, my first Prince concert at 16 in 1983; I got my first contact high at that one lol). Ultimately, I saw MJ in concert 10 times (his last tour in the U.S. ended in 1989 so the opportunities were limited) and Prince 18 times (the last when he did the old hits in 2011). You're in for one helluva ride if you follow your nose down this one!
You should check out Prince's performance at the 2005 NAACP Awards. The 16-minute version on UA-cam includes a fantastic introduction that summarizes Prince as an artist, multi-instrumentalist, and activist. And the performance is amazing and showcases his vocals, musicianship, and mentorship of other artists.
Who is Prince??? 😂 Come on Seph. How is that possible not to know who this guy was? You didn't lead a life as a monk in extreme seclusion before your UA-cam career, did you? But it's cool that you're now reacting to Prince as well as Michael Jackson. Do you remember the scene in Moonwalker when they come out of the garage after BAD and the little kid Michael asks what his monkey Bubbles is wearing? He's wearing a Prince t-shirt!!!
It's the first track on his first album at age 19. Wrote, produced, and played all instruments. Now, since you listened to the very first track on his first album, listen to his acclaimed performance at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame the year he was inducted performing While My Guitar Gently Weeps with other AllStars ua-cam.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/v-deo.html
His first two albums.Which the one that you have is this very first 1?He did all the instruments and vocals all by himself. Amazing. Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis king from Minneapolis and time.There were all from Indianapolis went to middle school in high school together.We're in the battle of the bands in that area. Prince later ron got his own band and hes gone through a few bands. Great music and another genius.When m j died fifty percent of music left us when prince died the rest of the fifty percent of music left us
@@SephPlays After you're done reacting to the album go to the youtube channel 'Prince's Friend' and watch his video about 'For You'. He has great videos about Prince and his albums.
Hi Seph! I have to request it again, please react to more songs from Earth, Wind and Fire I suggest "Fantasy" or "Imagination". It's gonna be a great journey for you.
You're a secret Prince hater that's why you want him to react to it lmao don't play. There's always one MJ fanatic in the comments sneakingly hating on Prince. MJ didn't steal the show, Prince barely performed in that performance. If Prince went full power, MJ wouldn't stand a chance lol. All you have to do is watch "beautiful night live" by Prince to know Prince wasn't giving his all. You secret haters time is up. Ya'll so obvious 😂
Prince and Michael Jackson are amazing. Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas brought Michael with him he was doing something with Prince, he said they were watching Prince perform and prince walk up to Michael and started playing bass guitar in Michael face, he said he was ripping the bass in Michael face. Will I Am said Michael invited him for breakfast and he asked him why was Prince playing the bass in my face. When Prince was alive he would block his live performance and I believe all his music. We could not get his concert and music for free on UA-cam and if we did find something, you have to enjoy it as soon you see it because it wouldn't be there for long.
Michael shouldn’t even be mentioned with Prince at all. Prince was a musical genius and a musician who played multiple instruments. He produced all of his albums. Wrote and arranged All his songs. Michael didn’t. The end
@@kevinhurston1555 but Michael was the biggest star out of the both of them King Of Pop. Every one has their preference on who they liked better. Prince could have been too much for some people, like my son loved Michael, it's okay to have a difference of opinion.
@@kevinhurston1555michael was also a musical genius without playing any instruments. playing and producing everything means nothing when it doesn’t live up to the timelessness of mj’s music. thriller, bad, off the wall and dangerous are still on the charts i don’t see prince albums.
@@kevinhurston1555 Michael wrote and arranged PLENTY of his songs and greatest hits, even the ones that were not wrote by him he still contributed like man lets not start
so I'm not well versed in prince but i do have some songs by him saved on my playlist and know some stuff just by being an MJ fan. i love to see them as Musical and Performance Rivals. Thriller was actually sonically inspired by Prince's song 1999 and they wanted him in we are the world. MJ worried to fall out of popularity thinking prince would take his place and he actually wanted Prince to duet with him in Bad (the song).
Thats not true at all Michael did not think Prince was going to "take his place" they were friends that's why he wanted him on the BAD song, that's why he wanted him on we are the world because he was popular with his album, if anything it was more that Prince initially at first thought they were rivals after the james brown thing in 83 where he tried to run Micheael over but overall Prince and Michaels "rivalry" was made by the MEDIA.
@@Yahisking1 thanks for the correction, there's so much speculations surrounding the 2 that sometimes it get's confusing what's actually true. still tho it's fun to imagine a friendly rivalry between 2 great artists.
Stop comparing Prince to Michael!! There is no comparison. Prince was a genius and an actual musician, arranger, producer and songwriter. Michael’s talent doesn’t even come close
Lets not start the Prince vs Michael debate they both were friends and were beyond talented in their own rights. Dont bring that tabloid fake beef over here
@@senzubrawls25 winning all those Grammys for an album when all you did was sing is not a flex. Without the musicians and producers, arrangers and songwriters what album would it be? Prince made entire albums completely alone by himself. Now that’s talent !
@@senzubrawls25 that’s delusion. A lot of people sold a lot of albums. Hell, Britney Spears sold more albums than Stevie wonder but if you think she’s anywhere near the talent he is you’re a complete fool. Having a ton of fans means nothing
@@senzubrawls25 Michael could only dance because he hired choreographers to teach him the moves. Watch his videos. The background dancers are doing all the exact same moves. A lot of his hits were written by other people. And all of his albums were produced by the best in the business
I'm 22 years old there is no way he never heard of Prince, even if you don't know his entire catalog you know the man, the myth. Stop playing 🤣

@@SephPlaysyou do know ‘nothing compares to you’ sung by Sinead ‘O Conner? Guess who wrote the song…
I had asked you to do Prince, thank you, we would like for you to do more. This album was the beginning of his career it gets better.
…and better and better!!!
Yay Prince! He was from my hometown- Minneapolis. He used to host dance parties at his house, and I almost went to his last one. I really regret not going, but no one knew he was going to die shortly after.
It’s all Prince Seph lol he was able to do a lot with his voice after Elvis I listened to Prince a lot in the 80’s he was my favorite singer. Talented musician and artist and IMO to this day gave the best half time show at the Super Bowl he totally rocked it! Purple Rain epic!
Composed , Produced , Arranged , and Performed by Prince Rogers Nelson.
Prince died in April 21 2016 of probably murder like micheal or an fentanyl overdose similar to micheals death. He died in his elevator while he’s on his way to see his therapist. Long story short His career and death is similar to micheals
Woah I didn’t expect this one 💯💯💯 Prince and Michael were often compared, but they were very different. Prince was more sexual and Michael was primarily geared toward being more family friendly. Michael was the entertainer and Prince was the magician/instrumentalist.
this is one of the first from prince. If you don t know Prince, you have a lot of to discover. He is an extravagant artist. Singer, world class guitar player, songwriter ofcourse, dancer. He made fantastic music and also music I do not understand and are unplayable for me. But all those pearls in his repertoire are worthwile the discovery. And what he did with his live shows was amazing. I appreciate Prince more than Micheal Jackson, for the music he created.
He sang a lot with headvoice, but also "normal" voice.
Oh thank GOD! I'm not the only one! I always preferred Prince over MJ. I was never an MJ fan to be honest.
Phew! Thought I was the cheese that stands alone on preferring Prince over MJ 😂
Thanks Paul for this 😎🎶🎸💙🙌💃
@@sammy_the_uncool2702 lol, another thing we got in common, sammy. So thank you too 🎵🎷
Ok this is actually rather nice to hear! Thank you Puma and Sammy!
@@SephPlays You are so welcome Seph! If you want to hear a live performance by a natural counter- tenor here is a link for you: ua-cam.com/video/m0EBs6uRgtw/v-deo.htmlsi=G1ffTedPfngnlnU3
The Righteous Brothers are two guys. Bobby Hatfield is the guy singing this one solo. The intro with Andy Williams explains it all. This is a performance from 1965 on The Andy Williams Show. Andy Williams was also a popular male singer back in the day. Just letting you know Seph!
P.S. Bass, Baritone, Tenor, & Counter- Tenor are the four main male singer vocal range classifications.
Contralto, Mezzo- Soprano, and Soprano are the three main female singer vocal classifications.
There are sub- classifications in each group.
Example: Luciano Pavarotti is listed as a "full lyric tenor".
Celine Dion is listed as a "full lyric soprano".
@@thepuma2012 Thank YOU back 🎵🎤🎵🎼🎧🎼🙌💃😎💙🙏💕
Wait! You’re joking when you say you never heard of Prince, right?
he probably has but doesn t know
I have heard of HIM/Them only through the comments of my Micheal Jackson videos unfortunately. I haven't heard of their songs before
@@SephPlays That’s kind of amazing because along with MJ, Madonna, and Phil Collins, he was one of the biggest musicians of the 80s and into the 90s. He’s not my favorite but he has some great songs as well. I always appreciate your videos and reactions, Seph. Keep ‘em coming.
@storiedworlds6261 It's not that surprising to me really because sadly, Prince isn't that well-known overseas. For instance you could go to ANY country in the world with a MJ shirt on, and EVERYONE would know who he is. They might even start singing their favorite song. You can't say the same about Prince😢💜.
PRINCE was the most talented artist to ever live, no one will ever come close
It's hard to believe how 1 listens to MJ and doesn't know who Prince is..but great reaction!
I only started listening to MJ 10 months ago 😅
@@SephPlays ok I get it!
One of the biggest musicians of the 80‘s and 90‘s - in a way competing to Michael Jackson for a while, but Prince was always on his own way. You should definitely dig deeper into this rabbit hole. His album „Purple Rain“ is a classic throughout. But there is so much more amazing material.
That's all Prince on his first three albums he played all the instruments and song all the vocals, that's all him. That's why I always say Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer we've ever had, Prince is the greatest singer, writer, musician, producer, composer, and arranger we've ever had.
I would say Prince was a natural tenor. Most of the vocal ranges given for him are comfortably in the tenor range.
However Prince could also sing in the high baritone range as well as the lower counter- tenor range.
Now I have read blogs covering the topic of Prince's vocal range. No one really seems to be in agreement.
Some put him as a baritone. Others as a tenor. One person even put him- to get even more specific- as a dramatic tenor.
Prince's voice has never been "officially" categorized by "professionals" who do that sort of thing.
Me? I'm a total plebe. I just think of Prince as a tenor 😉 What sub- classification of tenor I'll leave that to others to decide for themselves.
Anyways: I hope you are doing well this fine Sunday Seph 🎶🎸🎶😎💙🙏💕
Peace ✌, light 🌞, love 💖, & blessings to one & all here as well 💕
Prince was a 1 man band, he later created bands & started the careers of The Time, Vanity 6, Apollonia 6, Sheila E. & Carmen Electra. He's written many hits like Manic Monday (the Bangles), Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead O'Connor) & Sugar Walls (Sheena Easton). He also taught himself how to play 27 instruments. If you want to go down the rabbit hole there is Controversy, 1999, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry (extended) Let's Go Crazy, Purple Rain & so many more, enjoy
Thank You Seph ; So Glad to finally See You doing some Prince Reactions.☺️
The reply one person replied to me is not true. I’m not a secret prince hater. I just wanted you to see the mj and prince and James brown peformance in 1983!. He or she was just saying that cuz of what prince did at the end that I don’t wanna tell u cuz I’ll ruin it, I want u to see for yourself. So pls unheart the reply pls.
Done
@@SephPlaysthx 🙏
so surprised you reacted to 'In Love'! 'In Love' is often disregarded because it's Prince going the route of (you might not believe me when I say this but) more conventional RnB I guess.. it's one of the songs tho I couldn't stop having on repeat at the beginning of my journey through Prince catalog, composition-wise I've always found it shows the guy can write, the guy can arrange, if he wants to experiment, fine, but there's the solidest of foundations here anyway and even if he didn't experiment as much as he did, I wouldn't bat an eye; he ended up experimenting a lot obviously but you get my point. Absolute mastery on the vocals as well, 'For You' is splendid to the ear, has a touch of 'Mr. Sandman bring me a dream' in it too, it's just so beautiful man
OMG! You're way into your Michael Jackson journey, and now you've poked your nose down the Prince rabbit hole! They were both born in the summer of 1958 (along with Madonna; crazy coincidence, right?) When MJ and Prince were both at the height of their powers in the mid-80's, people felt like they had to choose (because there only seemed to be one slot available for a black guy who crossed over into pop at the time) - and yes, it was as ridiculous to me then as it sounds now. I was a huge fan of BOTH (saw my first MJ concert at 4 in 1971, my first Prince concert at 16 in 1983; I got my first contact high at that one lol). Ultimately, I saw MJ in concert 10 times (his last tour in the U.S. ended in 1989 so the opportunities were limited) and Prince 18 times (the last when he did the old hits in 2011). You're in for one helluva ride if you follow your nose down this one!
You should check out Prince's performance at the 2005 NAACP Awards. The 16-minute version on UA-cam includes a fantastic introduction that summarizes Prince as an artist, multi-instrumentalist, and activist. And the performance is amazing and showcases his vocals, musicianship, and mentorship of other artists.
Who is Prince??? 😂
Come on Seph. How is that possible not to know who this guy was? You didn't lead a life as a monk in extreme seclusion before your UA-cam career, did you?
But it's cool that you're now reacting to Prince as well as Michael Jackson. Do you remember the scene in Moonwalker when they come out of the garage after BAD and the little kid Michael asks what his monkey Bubbles is wearing? He's wearing a Prince t-shirt!!!
Prince...G.M.O.A.T❤
It's the first track on his first album at age 19. Wrote, produced, and played all instruments. Now, since you listened to the very first track on his first album, listen to his acclaimed performance at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame the year he was inducted performing While My Guitar Gently Weeps with other AllStars ua-cam.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/v-deo.html
Prince was kind of like a Michael Jackson that existed at the same time as Michael Jackson they were rivals in the 80s
His first two albums.Which the one that you have is this very first 1?He did all the instruments and vocals all by himself. Amazing. Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis king from Minneapolis and time.There were all from Indianapolis went to middle school in high school together.We're in the battle of the bands in that area. Prince later ron got his own band and hes gone through a few bands. Great music and another genius.When m j died fifty percent of music left us when prince died the rest of the fifty percent of music left us
Same Album, "I'm Yours."
11:01 Prince is a guy also I know that I'm leaving a lot of comments so if you have any questions just ask and I will be happy to answer them.
OK! So prince is a MAN and not a group name?
@@SephPlays Yes he did everything on this album vocals, lyrics, and instruments.
Sweetttt. Kinda through me off for a moment. OK! So prince is a guy :D
@@SephPlays After you're done reacting to the album go to the youtube channel 'Prince's Friend' and watch his video about 'For You'. He has great videos about Prince and his albums.
Hi Seph!
I have to request it again, please react to more songs from Earth, Wind and Fire
I suggest "Fantasy" or "Imagination". It's gonna be a great journey for you.
Yess love them!
Prince and Micheal and James brown peformed together in 1983 and Micheal stole the show by doing James moves. You should react to it
You're a secret Prince hater that's why you want him to react to it lmao don't play. There's always one MJ fanatic in the comments sneakingly hating on Prince. MJ didn't steal the show, Prince barely performed in that performance. If Prince went full power, MJ wouldn't stand a chance lol. All you have to do is watch "beautiful night live" by Prince to know Prince wasn't giving his all. You secret haters time is up. Ya'll so obvious 😂
@@zazagirl3373 I don’t hate prince it’s just that I love MJs moves that’s all
@@zazagirl3373 I just wanna see his reaction to micheals moves
@@zazagirl3373 I like prince too bruh
@@zazagirl3373 I just don’t know prince well Becuase I’m only a mj fan
Prince and Michael Jackson are amazing.
Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas brought Michael with him he was doing something with Prince, he said they were watching Prince perform and prince walk up to Michael and started playing bass guitar in Michael face, he said he was ripping the bass in Michael face. Will I Am said Michael invited him for breakfast and he asked him why was Prince playing the bass in my face.
When Prince was alive he would
block his live performance and I believe all his music. We could not get his concert and music for free on UA-cam and if we did find something, you have to enjoy it as soon you see it because it wouldn't be there for long.
Michael shouldn’t even be mentioned with Prince at all. Prince was a musical genius and a musician who played multiple instruments. He produced all of his albums. Wrote and arranged All his songs. Michael didn’t. The end
@@kevinhurston1555 but Michael was the biggest star out of the both of them King Of Pop. Every one has their preference on who they liked better. Prince could have been too much for some people, like my son loved Michael, it's okay to have a difference of opinion.
@@kevinhurston1555michael was also a musical genius without playing any instruments. playing and producing everything means nothing when it doesn’t live up to the timelessness of mj’s music. thriller, bad, off the wall and dangerous are still on the charts i don’t see prince albums.
@@kevinhurston1555 Michael wrote and arranged PLENTY of his songs and greatest hits, even the ones that were not wrote by him he still contributed like man lets not start
@@jado4prez Exactly.
so I'm not well versed in prince but i do have some songs by him saved on my playlist and know some stuff just by being an MJ fan.
i love to see them as Musical and Performance Rivals. Thriller was actually sonically inspired by Prince's song 1999 and they wanted him in we are the world. MJ worried to fall out of popularity thinking prince would take his place and he actually wanted Prince to duet with him in Bad (the song).
Also if you thought MJ had sexual lyrics, get ready lol
I'm excited to discover more of Prince with this Vids!
Thats not true at all Michael did not think Prince was going to "take his place" they were friends that's why he wanted him on the BAD song, that's why he wanted him on we are the world because he was popular with his album, if anything it was more that Prince initially at first thought they were rivals after the james brown thing in 83 where he tried to run Micheael over but overall Prince and Michaels "rivalry" was made by the MEDIA.
@@Yahisking1 thanks for the correction, there's so much speculations surrounding the 2 that sometimes it get's confusing what's actually true.
still tho it's fun to imagine a friendly rivalry between 2 great artists.
@@LaztheFox definitely I think people and the Media liked the fun of it, but yeah no they didn't have any beef as opposed to whats been told by many !
Stop comparing Prince to Michael!! There is no comparison. Prince was a genius and an actual musician, arranger, producer and songwriter. Michael’s talent doesn’t even come close
Lets not start the Prince vs Michael debate they both were friends and were beyond talented in their own rights. Dont bring that tabloid fake beef over here
@@senzubrawls25 winning all those Grammys for an album when all you did was sing is not a flex. Without the musicians and producers, arrangers and songwriters what album would it be? Prince made entire albums completely alone by himself. Now that’s talent !
@@senzubrawls25 that’s delusion. A lot of people sold a lot of albums. Hell, Britney Spears sold more albums than Stevie wonder but if you think she’s anywhere near the talent he is you’re a complete fool. Having a ton of fans means nothing
@@senzubrawls25 because of stupid people like you who take style over substance
@@senzubrawls25 Michael could only dance because he hired choreographers to teach him the moves. Watch his videos. The background dancers are doing all the exact same moves. A lot of his hits were written by other people. And all of his albums were produced by the best in the business
