thats not how emperor is spelt. Also MJ is a million times better artist in every way. Prince couldnt match his records, sales, anything, not even close in dancing
@@AC-mp7cx This is too ridiculous to even respond to, so...I'll make it brief: You're wrong; on practically every point. And...the correct grammatical equivalent would be"spelled". Not "spelt". That alone tells me a great deal.
The only thing MJ had on Prince was sales, Live there was no comparison, MJ who i actually liked and saw live never changed his set and mimed so many times it's not even funny. Even when he did the superbowl halftime show he mimed for christ sakes. Prince always sang live and always kept it fresh and was a far superior live artist. When you talk about dancing MJ was fantastic for sure but when he got older in years he looked cringy trying to do the same dance moves and he just couldn't do it where Prince knew he couldn't do it anymore and adapted his style!!
@@lieschenm1069 I love Michael Jackson, my favorite next to Prince, but the reality is he was an entertainer. He could sing and dance like no other and his music videos were ground breaking. He was able to keep reinvent himself and new how to market himself. A new album was an event. All attributes of an entertainer.
MJ was an musician/performer/producer/songwriter/dancer/vocalist and everything in between. he was a triple threat and MORE which many musicians aren’t. he was one of a kind. Talk about prince without mentioning MJ next time.
@@girlette Michael Jackson dabbled with the piano, but was not a musician. He never played an instrument live nor on an album. There is a difference. Michael wrote ideals of a song. Music and lyrics, but had it flushed out by top of the line songwriters, producers and musicians. Im not taken anything away from Michael. Him and Prince were my favorite artists. They were like the Ying yang, they needed to both co exist to inhance there geniousness. So Z, you can not talk about Michael Jackson without mentioning Prince and vice versa.
Prince is the reason EXPLICIT is printed on music. If you can believe that. Times have changed from what explicit is from their times to this generation
Prince is one of the greatest all around musicians to ever walk this earth. He also happens to be quite skilled at every instrument in the band...just for fun
I fell in love with Michael & his brother's as a child. Just loved them. Prince came on the scene during my High School years & appealed to another part of my brain. I am a fan of both in adulthood, have all of their music & will forever love them both.
Most Prince fans grew up on Michael Jackson , most Michael Jackson fans are clueless on Prince. Prince was not only the greatest artist of his time , he was the greatest artist of any time.
Correction, most prince fans grew up on The Jackson 5. Prince & MJ released solo albums as adults around the same time. Prince’s first album was released in 1978. MJ’s first solo album as an adult was released in 1979.
She’s definitely right on this one , more Prince please. I see you’re MTV hat, check out his performance of Get Off on the 1991 MTV awards. Prince played every instrument and wrote produced and arranged this album by himself
Michael Jackson music was for people of all ages little kids to grown ups , princess music was more for grown ups and some teenagers he was way more sexual in his music than Michael Jackson was
Michael was the Good boy, Prince the Bad boy. Michael was like G-rated before he started implementing crotch grabs. Both had enormous "SWAG" was probably the biggest similarity.
I was 10 when Billy Jean came out, had the single, great. But Beat It already became a bit whiny. Then Prince appeared with Vanity and Appolonia; it defined my teenage years up to seeing the Lovesexy show in 1988 in Rotterdam etc. Meanwhile MJ returned with whiny songs like Bad, Dirty Diana, Leave Me Alone and all the creepy stuff with the kids and his messiah complex etc. MJ's music was only as good as his producers; Mizell Brothers, Quincy Jones, Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, etc.
This has always been my favourite Prince song. An amazing musician with so many different styles and so creative. I love that this song is basically a drum beat with an intermittent synth, brilliant guitar intro and superb vocals.
I have been a "Ride or Die" Prince FAN for 40 years!!! I could not take my eyes off of the young lady's face!!! What a joy to watch as Prince casts his spell and hooks another fan even 5 years after he passed...May He Rest In Peace. Message to the young lady...Every Prince album is different, so expect a musical journey. Having said that, my personal favorite, after over 40 albums of every different kind is "Parade". Never shuffle a prince album. They are meant to be listened to as a whole. Have fun!!!
I love MJ but I'm a DIEHARD PRINCE FAN. He wrote, produced, played over 20 instruments and was a iconic vocalist. Being at a Prince concert was euphoric, I miss it sooo much! He has 39 full albums, lots of music to discover if u r a newbie.
The difference between MJ and Prince is that MJs music was rooted in 60s and 70s soul/disco music. Don't forget MJ was just a little boy when he fronted the Jackson 5. Prince's sound , like many early 80s artists, didn't sound like anything before it. It was a fusion of funk, punk, R&B, and even rock. I was teen when his music came out and I was floored by his talent and originality. I could go on for another hour explaining his music but you're going to have to research his greatness yourself.
When i worked with Prince i saw the true definition of humble and legend. Prince ran every part of Paisley Park. He was a gentleman with sweet soul , fun loving and beautiful. Please don't compare Michael Jackson 2 Prince . Simply because there is none . Mj was cool and all but im 10 toes down 4 Prince all day every day. Much love 2 Michael. #peace,blessings and #STAYWILD
You guys got the short version of the video. Later near the end of the video, Prince does an amazing dance move where he jumps and does a 360 in the air and lands in his high heels to the beat of the song.
I put James Brown and Little Richard in there , because Little Richard with the creator of rock and roll in James Brown Style of dance was copied by Prince and Michael Jackson
Personal opinion. I don't see how MJ can possibly stack up to people like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell & Neil Young considering the amount of classic material they put over decades-written by themselves, year after year, while MJ relied on others mostly & put one out every four years or longer. The Band's original run was pretty short-but their content overall destroys MJ's.
@@leroyrs Seeing the state of the music industry now that probably isn't a great legacy. In reality Kraftwerk & Depeche Mode have likely had a bigger influence on the sound over the last 40 years.
This was an Anthem to many a angsty 80s preteen .. namely me. His music saved my life..keep tumblin down the rabbit hole, kids... you'll be amazed everytime.
This is famous for not only be a piece of musical genius but for being the only hit record to not have a baseline in the. Originally it did, but late one night, Prince was mixing, dropped the baseline and bang, that was it a iconic sound. A drum machine, drums, some keys, a guitar & vocals. incredible and gives it that 'haunting' sound.
Is there a Purple Rain review in the future...? And favorite songs?? He only charted hits for almost 15 years, with 29 studio albums over an almost 40-yr career. And real Prince fans will tell you his deep cuts are better than the ones that had radio success.
Anyone know what happened to the reactions? Are they still reacting? An update on whats going on would be nice from anyone who knows. Love the way they interact with each other
Prince is also an absolute beast on the guitar. Plus, he joined the Navy Seals very late in life and died saving his squad by diving on a grenade. R.I.P. God Bless.
Back in the day, I don’t think people compared them, that seems to have come later. When I was in 5th grade they were both huge. We loved both of them. It wasn’t a competition.
Exactly, nobody I know compared them and it wasn’t which one do you like. I was 11 when MJ moonwalked for the first time and 12 when Purple Rain(movie) was released and I loved both of them Edit to say: I LOVE both of them.
Media created the competition. You know in America in the 80s, you couldn't have two Black artists ruling the music world at the same time. They weren't ready!
@@aishastaggers9913 You are right! At age 11 I was just acquiring a taste for the music that I would love into adulthood and I didn’t care that my two favorites were these two men, but looking back on those times growing up in south Louisiana I can see a whole lot of hate for those beautiful souls. It makes me thankful to know I didn’t grasp the hate of those times.
@@christielysdale1815 Michael was the most famous human worldwide for several decades. Not Prince even for a year. Maybe 1985 in America but that's it.
@@AC-mp7cx I’m pretty sure I didn’t say any of that. I’m also sure that Michael Jackson doesn’t need you to be offended for him posthumously. You are exactly the type of person that tried to breed the competition between the two that never existed. Now with all of that being said... I admired both of them, but Prince was just better at all of it. I don’t care who was more famous. Maybe you should go converse with those who agree with you
They are both black pop icons born 2 months apart Prince in June Michael in August. There was always a bit of a rivalry. Although MJ reached fame earlier as a kid, their careers blew up in 1979 with solo albums. Prince was always seemed to be a step behind Michael in popularity and success. There is a video out there where they are both at a James Brown concert in 1983 and he call them both on stage to perform briefly and MJ seems to out do Prince. Look it up and maybe even react to it. Search James Brown calls Michael Jackson & Prince on stage
Michael Jackson's music was for everybody of all ages Prince's music was for older teenagers and grown people Michael's music with sweet and innocent princess was dangerous and sexy
the one were prince plays a busted guitar and knocks over a lantern. Yeah I'm a MJ fan but felt bad for him as I know how insecure he was and for that to happen in front of his idol James Brown who criticized his actions of pushing that post down hurt him a little im sure. MJ is a born performer so of course he killed it.
This song is 1 of 2 song from the movie Purple Rain. The other is the name of the movie. He was in 2 more. He directed the sequel Graffiti Bridge. He was also in Under The Cherry Moon, to which the song Kiss is on the soundtrack to Under The Cherry Moon. If u liked this song check out Diamond And Pearls.
The comparisons were made because in 1983, Thriller and Purple Rain were released at the same time with Michael having five of the top 10 songs on the charts and Prince had the other five. They were literally the only two artists you heard on the radio that year.
@@johnsonmark65 What are you talking about? When Thriller was released, it spent a record 300 weeks on the Billboard charts, with 37 weeks of that at Number One...because you don't seem to know anything, that's 25 straight years. Michael Jackson's single "Thriller" wasn't released as a single until the video of the song was released...in DECEMBER of 1983, which means it didn't become the smash hit cult classic it is now until....wait for it...1984, the same year Purple Rain was popular on the charts. Class dismissed.
Yes, back in the 80's it was Team Prince or Team MJ but as most got older people realized they were so different. Michael was more popular but Prince was more talented. Put them both in a room and Prince would come out with a complete album because he wrote, produced and arranged all his own songs and played all instruments. That's the difference in their talent. Both Icons and Legends.
@@chica4530 - Disagree with your take: - They meant Michael's music was much "safer" than Prince's music so could more easily be consumed by the masses - Prince's lyrics were chock full of sexual imagery (sometimes explicitly so) as where Michael sang stuff like "the doggone girl is mine" and "we can sing songs of yesterday" while Prince was singing "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth".
Your banter is great. Prince has a lot of good songs. I always forget how good a guitar player he is. Check out Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy, Darling Nikki.
They were both exceptional in their own right. Michael became iconic. Iconic videos, choreographies and dance moves. Prince was a modern day mozart. He created, wrote, arranged, published, sang, danced, and was a multi-instrumentalist. Prince was in a unique league of his own and not many could perform live and be that animated on stage. Prince evolved over time. Doing music in his chosen genre based on where he was in life. Michael always wanted to give you the best performance, topping his previous one. IMHO there is no better than the other. Just exceptional in his own right. However, Prince could snatch any woman or man he wanted wearing his fashion, high heels, guyliner, perm and bedroom eyes.
Michael jackson can snatch women to😂. Have u seen michael jacksons fashion. The stuff he wore. He was way beyond other artist in terms of clothing. But prince is good to
I’m late af but prince and Michael r both the greatest to ever live. They were unstoppable and still til this day music doesn’t give h that feeling when u listen to there songs
As a teen in the 80s I loved both Michael Jackson and Prince equally. Michael was definitely more accessible and commercial, while Prince was more edgy and experimental. Having followed them all these years and looking back honestly, both were great performers and made great music, but Prince was more well rounded musically and definitely more prolific. The guy was a musical prodigy who, as you mentioned, could expertly play multiple instruments, along with mixing and arranging most of his own music. He even had a 5 octave range. Prince was just a musical phenom. Continue your journey discovering his music. There’s so much great stuff. You’ll be amazed.
Two space shuttles, two musical pioneers taking off in the same era. Although Michael was the clear front-runner because he had shined as a child star, Prince still caught up with MJ real fast. Well, almost. 2 musical geniuses! 🌹
No he didnt. Michael made Bad, History, Dangerous, and all of that was post Purple Rain. Purple Rain is the only thing that Prince made that was on Michael's level of iconhood
The MJ and Prince rivalry was more of a press promoted thing. In real life they both had a friendly rivalry. MJ was PG friendly music (With 3 albums released in the 1980's)and Prince was your R rated music (the main reason we have explicit lyrics stickers on albums today) and Prince composed and released 9 albums in the 80's under his name, 3 albums under the Time name, 2 albums for Sheila E., 1 album for the Family, 4 other albums under other band monikers, all of his singles 1984 onward had an original song as the b-side, wrote and sometimes produced songs for (and sometimes with) Stevie Nicks, Patti Labelle, Sheena Easton, Kenny Rogers etc. Prince wrote his music (occasionally one of his musicians would contribute-but Prince was the main musically influence) played all of his instruments on his early music releases. MJ is a great performer, dancer, and singer. Prince is a great performer, musician, composer, singer, and a good dancer. MJ released 3 albums in the 1980's. Prince released 19 albums in the 1980's.
@@lieschenm1069 In comparison to Prince and Quincy Jones -MJ as a composer isn't even in the same classification. Even Billie Jean song riff came from a Hall & Oates song (which MJ asked if he could use.) Mj was good at building upon other music than creating music. I said MJ was a great performer, dancer, and singer (That means MJ is great at all those things.) You will note I sad Prince was a good dancer not a great dancer as MJ was. I merely stated facts (and some opinions) in my original statement-if you come to a conclusion that you don't like-that's on you.
@@lieschenm1069 The Jacksons 5 all the way up to The Jacksons then up to MJ solo career from all the singles an albums...from the 60s up until MJ passing...Jacksons library is enormous...own cartoons show, own tv show, performances on different tv shows, different commercials, videos, tours globe and so much more. MJ and Prince both on different levels. Both was great entertainers in their own way. Prince started with the music industry in the late 70s. Prince accomplished...great music career in his own way too. MJ fan base are children, young teens, young adults, older adults an elderly. Prince music had more sexually, vulgar, profanity an aggressive back in the days, which his fan base was definitely much different...grown folks. But that is what music brings different artists styles. I love both MJ and Prince both brings something different. Do real Research you will also find out that both was good friends and hung out together with their friend Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz was interviewed on TH-cam. Lenny Kravitz, Jermaine Jackson an others confirmed that MJ and Prince was friends. The media, tabloids an others put out that MJ and Prince hated each other an others ran with the hate. R.I.H. MJ R.I.H. Prince...two of the Greatest!
Check out "Adore You" and "The Most Beautiful Girl" by Prince. He is a music genius. MJ and Prince each have their own lanes, but both were incredibly talented. However, Prince truly understood music -- he played just about every instrument.
As for other Prince songs to react to, you should try "U Got The Look", "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain". In terms of live performances, check out "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince and Tom Petty.
This song should be in a masterclass about producing. These days everything is covered up in autotune and bass drops. (Looking at you Kanye West...) And back then Prince had this monster hit with a song devoid of studio trickery and NO bass at all. Prince decided for this song that he wanted the arrangement as sparse as it possibly got, he removed almost all the instrumentation including the bass. The drums are a drum computer (yes, they were around in those days) which added to how cold the song sounded which again added to how raw and visceral the lyrics are.
I remember seeing Michael create the entire music in his head and then use a recorder to replicate the sounds he heard in his mind with beatbox before going to a studio (in the video of deposition in México), that was really cool to me. But I also know that prince was more talented in other areas, like instrumental, and his songs are more for adults (that in my opinion it really doesn't matter to what age a song is directed, while the song sounds good). But even so it is not fair to compare them, both made different types of music and both are legends
A lot of the Clips in this Video are from him Movie "Purple Rain" A Must See!! Was Huge for a long time when it came out and the Records were selling off the shelves as soon as the movie came out! Check out the following songs: Prince - Little Red Corvette - 1999 - Let's go Crazy - Purple Rain - Darlin Nikki - Cream - Kiss - Erotic City
Would love to see yous react to" I Wanna be your Lover" I think it was probably his first real hit..by memory I think it came out in 1978 or 79 so yip im an old bugger lol..dont think there was no official video for the song. Its a Awesome song nonetheless. Loving your reactions and music choices yous have 💯👌. Oh and also Raspberry Beret.
Stevie wonder summed it up perfectly. “If Michael Jackson is the “king of pop”, then Prince is the “Emporer of music” That’s the difference.

Back in the day, I don’t think people compared them, that seems to have come later. When I was in 5th grade they were both huge. We loved both of them. It wasn’t a competition.
Exactly, nobody I know compared them and it wasn’t which one do you like. I was 11 when MJ moonwalked for the first time and 12 when Purple Rain(movie) was released and I loved both of them
Edit to say: I LOVE both of them.
Media created the competition. You know in America in the 80s, you couldn't have two Black artists ruling the music world at the same time. They weren't ready!
@@aishastaggers9913 You are right! At age 11 I was just acquiring a taste for the music that I would love into adulthood and I didn’t care that my two favorites were these two men, but looking back on those times growing up in south Louisiana I can see a whole lot of hate for those beautiful souls. It makes me thankful to know I didn’t grasp the hate of those times.
@@christielysdale1815 Michael was the most famous human worldwide for several decades. Not Prince even for a year. Maybe 1985 in America but that's it.
@@AC-mp7cx I’m pretty sure I didn’t say any of that. I’m also sure that Michael Jackson doesn’t need you to be offended for him posthumously. You are exactly the type of person that tried to breed the competition between the two that never existed. Now with all of that being said... I admired both of them, but Prince was just better at all of it. I don’t care who was more famous. Maybe you should go converse with those who agree with you
Prince was short and skinny and the girls went crazy for him me included. He exuded sexy.
Where are u guys gone?????
They are both black pop icons born 2 months apart Prince in June Michael in August. There was always a bit of a rivalry. Although MJ reached fame earlier as a kid, their careers blew up in 1979 with solo albums. Prince was always seemed to be a step behind Michael in popularity and success. There is a video out there where they are both at a James Brown concert in 1983 and he call them both on stage to perform briefly and MJ seems to out do Prince. Look it up and maybe even react to it. Search James Brown calls Michael Jackson & Prince on stage
I saw the video with them and and it was after the Grammys and you're both equally even when they performed .
Michael Jackson's music was for everybody of all ages Prince's music was for older teenagers and grown people Michael's music with sweet and innocent princess was dangerous and sexy
@@antoinerideaux-porche6036 thats rediculous. Was your last MJ album "Thriller" .
the one were prince plays a busted guitar and knocks over a lantern. Yeah I'm a MJ fan but felt bad for him as I know how insecure he was and for that to happen in front of his idol James Brown who criticized his actions of pushing that post down hurt him a little im sure. MJ is a born performer so of course he killed it.
This is a great song by prince thanks for the reaction. You should try another Bee Gees reaction called too much Heaven. Enjoy!
You need to hear the extended version of that song
Great reaction ! Prince was z brilliant performer and muso. MJ was also a great performer.
This song is 1 of 2 song from the movie Purple Rain. The other is the name of the movie. He was in 2 more. He directed the sequel Graffiti Bridge. He was also in Under The Cherry Moon, to which the song Kiss is on the soundtrack to Under The Cherry Moon. If u liked this song check out Diamond And Pearls.
The comparisons were made because in 1983, Thriller and Purple Rain were released at the same time with Michael having five of the top 10 songs on the charts and Prince had the other five. They were literally the only two artists you heard on the radio that year.
Thriller was popular in 83 and Purple Rain in 84, what are you talking about?
@@johnsonmark65 What are you talking about? When Thriller was released, it spent a record 300 weeks on the Billboard charts, with 37 weeks of that at Number One...because you don't seem to know anything, that's 25 straight years. Michael Jackson's single "Thriller" wasn't released as a single until the video of the song was released...in DECEMBER of 1983, which means it didn't become the smash hit cult classic it is now until....wait for it...1984, the same year Purple Rain was popular on the charts. Class dismissed.
Yes, back in the 80's it was Team Prince or Team MJ but as most got older people realized they were so different. Michael was more popular but Prince was more talented. Put them both in a room and Prince would come out with a complete album because he wrote, produced and arranged all his own songs and played all instruments. That's the difference in their talent. Both Icons and Legends.
Price walks into the club in a purple suit and ruffles, walks out with your girlfriend, and you're not even mad about it.
this is one of the biggest 4 record of all times.
What's the others?
Watch while my guitar gently weeps at the rock’n’roll hall of fame….awesome
1999 / Little Red Corvette / Purple rain / Beautiful Ones
I love the girls southern accent!! Shoutout from Europe.
I remember a music critic saying "Michael is for the masses. Prince is for the freaks."
And she was right, by the way lol...
Don't agree with that comment by that so called music critic. Prince's 40 year career proved him or her wrong.
@@chica4530 - Disagree with your take:
- They meant Michael's music was much "safer" than Prince's music so could more easily be consumed by the masses
- Prince's lyrics were chock full of sexual imagery (sometimes explicitly so) as where Michael sang stuff like "the doggone girl is mine" and "we can sing songs of yesterday" while Prince was singing "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth".
@@endorphinzz 😂 I love your take!
Your banter is great. Prince has a lot of good songs. I always forget how good a guitar player he is. Check out Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy, Darling Nikki.
What happened to this channel? I enjoyed these reactions
They were both exceptional in their own right. Michael became iconic. Iconic videos, choreographies and dance moves. Prince was a modern day mozart. He created, wrote, arranged, published, sang, danced, and was a multi-instrumentalist. Prince was in a unique league of his own and not many could perform live and be that animated on stage.
Prince evolved over time. Doing music in his chosen genre based on where he was in life.
Michael always wanted to give you the best performance, topping his previous one.
IMHO there is no better than the other. Just exceptional in his own right.
However, Prince could snatch any woman or man he wanted wearing his fashion, high heels, guyliner, perm and bedroom eyes.
Michael jackson can snatch women to😂. Have u seen michael jacksons fashion. The stuff he wore. He was way beyond other artist in terms of clothing. But prince is good to
I’m late af but prince and Michael r both the greatest to ever live. They were unstoppable and still til this day music doesn’t give h that feeling when u listen to there songs
Michael and Prince. ...🔥🔥🔥
💜 Prince 💜 For Me
As a teen in the 80s I loved both Michael Jackson and Prince equally. Michael was definitely more accessible and commercial, while Prince was more edgy and experimental. Having followed them all these years and looking back honestly, both were great performers and made great music, but Prince was more well rounded musically and definitely more prolific. The guy was a musical prodigy who, as you mentioned, could expertly play multiple instruments, along with mixing and arranging most of his own music. He even had a 5 octave range. Prince was just a musical phenom.
Continue your journey discovering his music. There’s so much great stuff. You’ll be amazed.
I can't believe today it's been 5 year's since his passing
why did you guys stop?
Two space shuttles, two musical pioneers taking off in the same era. Although Michael was the clear front-runner because he had shined as a child star, Prince still caught up with MJ real fast. Well, almost. 2 musical geniuses! 🌹
No he didnt. Michael made Bad, History, Dangerous, and all of that was post Purple Rain. Purple Rain is the only thing that Prince made that was on Michael's level of iconhood
@@AC-mp7cx What U said is true. but Prince got MJ beat on all other fronts. Michael don't play any instruments, and MJ can't split.
Prince in every way better
@@mrchaplin6261 Oh, that's grounds for a good argument. Even Prince's looks was matural, MJs was altetred
Now that's real.
Team Prince since the 2nd grade
Prince “u got the look”
The MJ and Prince rivalry was more of a press promoted thing. In real life they both had a friendly rivalry. MJ was PG friendly music (With 3 albums released in the 1980's)and Prince was your R rated music (the main reason we have explicit lyrics stickers on albums today) and Prince composed and released 9 albums in the 80's under his name, 3 albums under the Time name, 2 albums for Sheila E., 1 album for the Family, 4 other albums under other band monikers, all of his singles 1984 onward had an original song as the b-side, wrote and sometimes produced songs for (and sometimes with) Stevie Nicks, Patti Labelle, Sheena Easton, Kenny Rogers etc. Prince wrote his music (occasionally one of his musicians would contribute-but Prince was the main musically influence) played all of his instruments on his early music releases. MJ is a great performer, dancer, and singer. Prince is a great performer, musician, composer, singer, and a good dancer. MJ released 3 albums in the 1980's. Prince released 19 albums in the 1980's.
Michael Jackson was a composer too and more than a "great" dancer. And because Prince released more albums he was the better artist?
@@lieschenm1069 In comparison to Prince and Quincy Jones -MJ as a composer isn't even in the same classification. Even Billie Jean song riff came from a Hall & Oates song (which MJ asked if he could use.) Mj was good at building upon other music than creating music. I said MJ was a great performer, dancer, and singer (That means MJ is great at all those things.) You will note I sad Prince was a good dancer not a great dancer as MJ was. I merely stated facts (and some opinions) in my original statement-if you come to a conclusion that you don't like-that's on you.
@@lieschenm1069
The Jacksons 5 all the way up to The Jacksons then up to MJ solo career from all the singles an
albums...from the 60s up until MJ passing...Jacksons library is enormous...own cartoons show, own tv show, performances on different tv shows, different commercials, videos, tours globe and so much more. MJ and Prince both on different levels. Both was great entertainers in their own way.
Prince started with the music industry in the late 70s. Prince accomplished...great music career in his own way too. MJ fan base are children, young teens, young adults, older adults an elderly. Prince music had more sexually, vulgar, profanity an aggressive back in the days, which his fan base was definitely much different...grown folks. But that is what music brings different artists styles. I love both MJ and Prince both brings something different. Do real Research you will also find out that both was good friends and hung out together with their friend Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz was interviewed on TH-cam. Lenny Kravitz, Jermaine Jackson an others confirmed that MJ and Prince was friends. The media, tabloids an others put out that MJ and Prince hated each other an others ran with the hate. R.I.H. MJ R.I.H. Prince...two of the Greatest!
Michael is overrated
Prince is the true genius
Miss you :(
this is my favorite video and song from prince.
Let PRINCE be PRINCE and MJ be MJ, they totally two different artists with different test of music.
No comparison! Prince the GOAT!
Check out "Adore You" and "The Most Beautiful Girl" by Prince. He is a music genius. MJ and Prince each have their own lanes, but both were incredibly talented. However, Prince truly understood music -- he played just about every instrument.
The song Darling Nikki is the reason why the parental advisory was introduced. Cool track but very explicit lyrics. :)
One of the only #1 hits to not have a baseline. Incredible. And he played every instrument and sang pretty much every line - high or low.
As for other Prince songs to react to, you should try "U Got The Look", "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain". In terms of live performances, check out "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" with Prince and Tom Petty.
React to Prince-Diamonds and Pearls best performance live high quality
And the embodiment of music, Prince, arrives..........
My favorite Prince song will always be “Batdance” 😂. Y’all hate me all you want!
This song should be in a masterclass about producing. These days everything is covered up in autotune and bass drops. (Looking at you Kanye West...) And back then Prince had this monster hit with a song devoid of studio trickery and NO bass at all.
Prince decided for this song that he wanted the arrangement as sparse as it possibly got, he removed almost all the instrumentation including the bass. The drums are a drum computer (yes, they were around in those days) which added to how cold the song sounded which again added to how raw and visceral the lyrics are.
I remember seeing Michael create the entire music in his head and then use a recorder to replicate the sounds he heard in his mind with beatbox before going to a studio (in the video of deposition in México), that was really cool to me. But I also know that prince was more talented in other areas, like instrumental, and his songs are more for adults (that in my opinion it really doesn't matter to what age a song is directed, while the song sounds good). But even so it is not fair to compare them, both made different types of music and both are legends
Prince and The Revolution "Purple Rain" live in 1985, react 2 that, Best Guitar solo ever
Great reaction 💥
A lot of the Clips in this Video are from him Movie "Purple Rain" A Must See!! Was Huge for a long time when it came out and the Records were selling off the shelves as soon as the movie came out! Check out the following songs:
Prince - Little Red Corvette - 1999 - Let's go Crazy - Purple Rain - Darlin Nikki - Cream - Kiss - Erotic City
Never trust a person that doesn't like/enjoy Prince's music
this song was an experiment to see if he could write a song without a bass line.
Would love to see yous react to" I Wanna be your Lover" I think it was probably his first real hit..by memory I think it came out in 1978 or 79 so yip im an old bugger lol..dont think there was no official video for the song. Its a Awesome song nonetheless. Loving your reactions and music choices yous have 💯👌. Oh and also Raspberry Beret.
This also is the short version of this song.. please react to the full version to get the full force of this classic.
DAng you guys have a good taste in music, im subscribing
