      "The Purple Yoda" and "The King Of Pop" had different goals for their music. The Music Industry, Mainstream Media and fans pitted them against each other. Some fans liked both while others preferred one over the other. In the end Prince and Michael Jackson respected each other and admired each others music. It was a shame though they never collaborated. I believe the "Batman Soundtrack" was their best opportunity.

    FYI: Neither Prince nor MJ were able to attend this Soul Train Awards Show.
    Prince & MJ both released new albums in 1987. Prince released “Sign o' the Times” and MJ released “Bad”. Both artists were considered “rivals” then, and because of that, there was some comparisons and debate in 1987/88 over which of these 2 albums was better. You can google “bad vs sign o' the times” and “prince vs michael jackson” to read more about their rivalry. Here are a couple of links:

    www.revolt.tv/2016/6/29/20816510/prince-vs-michael-jackson-the-rivalry-that-became-the-holy-grail-of-pop
