I'm a fan of both Prince and Michael Jackson and quite honestly they each mastered their own lanes. One was a performer. The other was a musician to the nth degree. Their similarities were both were young black males and that's it the end.
I saw him once LIVE and like a fool I cried when I saw him, never ever had i cried for anyone on stage and I will never forget that moment in 2012 Brisbane.
Prince is an amazing experience. Once you start, there is no turning back! Enjoy his complete catalogue of music and concerts, from the 1970’s to 2010’s.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE that you did this and that you introduced your sister to Prince. I can totally tell you’re becoming a real fan just by how excited you were to introduce her and explain to her who people were throughout the video and your conversation and expressions. 💜💜💜
I envy every beautiful soul whom listen, for the very first time, to Prince, Michael Jackson, Sade, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and so many others. Music is one of the biggest joy in the world. It's great to see that Prince legacy makes happy new generations just as me since 1981 (and I'm 48 yo).
Prince is the goat. could play every instrument and 75% did on all his albums... His like will never be seen for generations if ever..... I could listen to his B hits all Prince know over most artists "hits".
I don't think MJ is more popular than Prince i just personally think MJ is more popular in the pop realm. The kids of our generation that listen to Janelle Monae, Fka Twigs, Kimbra, Snow Allegra, Willow Smith, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar. I think that's the crowd that listens to Prince more, the crowd that listens to Drake, Taylor Swift, Beyonce probably listen to MJ more. At least that's my own personal social experience coming from Shibuya Japan & traveling with my parents. Just like my friends who only listen to heavy metal don't want to hear a second of pop music. It truly depends on the crowd you surround yourself by. Prince inspired Musicians, Michael inspired Pop Artists. They overlap as well but i think Prince to put it simply is Kendrick & Drake is Michael. They inspired two completely different worlds but they're just as powerful as one another. That also doesn't count how Prince was black mailed from the industry for fighting against the machine & awakening artists to own their masters. Mainstream radio stations were told to stop playing his music & even artists were told not to mention Prince as his inspiration, when Prince was writing slave on his face. Just for those same radio stations to play Prince's music when he passed, how ironic is that? & yet through all of that, even if some people of my generation have maybe only heard Purple Rain, they still know the myth & legend that is Prince. Even when Prince was literally blocked by the machine in the late 90's. That shows you how Prince could not be stopped.
And just think, she still has to see him play guitar! As for what to recommend for her to check out by Prince, it would help to know what music she likes. Because there IS a Prince song for everyone.
So happy you discovered the music of Prince. When you make it to the US you gotta visit his home. It was GREEEEEAT experience. While there I got to see his band NPG, Shelia E., and Morris Day. The town is beautiful, and full of Prince land marks. Hope you can go. 💜
The dancer knocking out those guys name was Cat Glover and she actually created that very dance. It's called the Cat Scat, Rosie Perez did it in the beginning of Do The Right Thing the movie. Rest well Cat!
Had a chance to see him just once. OMG Can't stand still whole arena was a sweating mess LOL. He wears you out, in a good way. Saw James Brown as well. Clearly influence Prince, but Prince elevated it. Two best shows ever.
Cool reaction, you should check out Prince's song America. It's a live video from a short concert in France where you see him shredding on guitar and drums and controlling the rest of the band with a single finger!
💜prince made beautiful hits for alot of other artist. The only time Prince wasn't at the top of the charts it's because the music that he gave to other artists were at the top of the charts lol. 💜 He's the most brilliant man not just in his music. He knew things. I truly honestly believe in my heart that he was the second coming of Christ.💜 Prince is the Messiah I believe in 💜
I have never seen this performance by Prince, so thank you for that, awesome as usual! Prince and Michael Jackson were competitors and did not get actually along with each other.
Prince and Michael Jackson did get along Prince was so sad the day we lost Michael Jackson. Prince wrote make a song for MJ that was very popular prince covered that song on one of his tours. Lenny Kravitz tells the story.
Prince is King. Prince was huge with Aussie fans also. He had his way of doing things and wouldn't let anyone tell him he couldn't. The same goes for his gigs. Everything was rehearsed to death so no-one put a foot wrong. Stars had to work to get our attention. Like Madonna. She was the most outspoken, independent woman of the '80s.
If you're going to watch Prince you need to check out James Brown whos show and control of his dancers and such infuanced Prince. It also helps to know that Sheilas father was the drummer for Carlos Santana ( the band Santana). And Prince could play and instrument he came within 5 ft of. And he was a writer and producer.
Sheila E is rapping 'The Table And The Chair ' by Edward Lear. When recorded, she was on the phone and had to rap a second out so they could put it together... (6:40)
Now from Prince deep dive into Apollonia 6 and Vanity 6 and prince involvement . These ladies rocked from songs like " sex shooter " and " Nasty Girl". Prince was with them in the band then managed them. Good times.
Wow, Jay I’ve been following your reactions to Prince. I’m a very nearly 60 year old man, who has been a huge Prince follower, ( he didn’t like the term “fan”, ) and I’m so glad that someone of your age is enjoying Prince’s music. You are exactly right, you can’t compare Prince with Michael Jackson. MJ was comparable to Disney, when I became a young man, I started listening to Prince! You see the difference?! You have really started going down the rabbit hole of Prince, and you haven’t even scratched the surface yet! Please can you react to his song, Shhh you won’t be disappointed. From one Brit to another, May you live to see the dawn! By the way, that’s a Prince quote: Here’s the link for Shhh: th-cam.com/video/8Ei0KuDn9Bc/w-d-xo.html 👌🏽🙏🏽💜
Prince's Seven, Little Red Corvette or 1999 are also ones that you might like/love 😎👌! Also Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Princes of the Universe 😳🤯👍 And Phil Collins; In the air tonight, Easy Lover and Sussudio😁👌 Those and 'We are the World' by pretty Much every single in America 😳😎, are great additions to your play/watch list assuming that they are not already on your play/watch list 👍?!
With all due respect never compare PRINCE 2 Michael. Prince was a genius that could literally make a cd all by himself. Michael called Prince when he needed help. Ya'll be blessed. #peaceandstaywild
Prince was an incomparable genius, in the true sense. MJ paled in comparison (no pun intended) sorry. Prince was visionary, and aside from his incredible vocal range and dance moves, he could learn any instrument within days (and played all of them on his studio recordings). He could find talent like SheilaE and wrote recognizable songs for other artists like Manic Monday for The Bangles. His artistic choices also purposely exposed corporatism in the music biz for the exploitation it is. What a man!
During the 80s I'd always liked Prince over Michael Jackson. Even though Michael sang and danced, Prince sang, danced and had the ability to play 27 different musical instruments. They'll never be another Prince.
Kids y'all got a long long rabbit hole to go down... Cat Glover the dancer sadly passed away earlier this year. She was 60. This was a double album and I stole it from my cousin because I felt she would not appreciate it enough. No I'm not sorry. I was still trying to get over the breakup of the Revolution 😂😂😂
People used to be fit. A workout on stage every night. He did it all in heels. That's natural moving/dancing while singing. Mj had set moves he'd worked out and practiced to perfection before he hit the stage. Not choreographed to the singers ability then they stop dancing to sing prob lip syncing cause they're breathing too heavily to sing and when they do the mic has built in autotune. You will never get that now. They need to see him playing guitar.
I miss the days of real music. That's why I really can't get into today's music. Now to break that "code", Gen Z hears....real music thinking we're saying their music just sucks. That's not what we mean at all. We come from a time when artists actually played instruments. Late Gen Y and Early Gen Z use sound boards, auto-tunes...etc. People can tell the difference between the sound of real instruments vs. synthesized. Real instruments will always be better. So that's real music, real talent (playing instruments which always included more than one), and using their real voices.
Stop comparing Prince to Michael Jackson. There IS NO comparison. one is an actual genius multi instrumentalist musician, arranger, performer, producer and the other is a song and dance man
Michael Jackson didn't play OR sing Pop Music, that's a fallacy...MJ played "black music", that were then appropriated by people who spoke about, and in, "pop ways"...everything he sang was about black music, done in R&B fashion!!!...look at his playlist and tell me how or what he sung that was not totally R&B music, he was just another great black performer, in a line of great black performers like James, Sam, and Jackie...there was nothing Pop about Michael Jackson!!!...and Yes I know what the term 'pop' means musically!!!

As a fan of Prince I cringe when people compare Prince to MJ.
That drives me nuts! PRINCE WAS NOT INFLUENCED BY MJ!
They were both very different, love them both 😍
Prince and MJ are completely different. They're nowhere near the same.
@@delikonthree i agree
I'm a fan of both Prince and Michael Jackson and quite honestly they each mastered their own lanes. One was a performer. The other was a musician to the nth degree. Their similarities were both were young black males and that's it the end.
no one is better than Prince. no one.
No 1 past or present 💜
I saw this beautiful human 3 times in concert. No one does it better💜💜💜 Sheila E. on the drums.
I have 2 magical moments
I saw him once LIVE and like a fool I cried when I saw him, never ever had i cried for anyone on stage and I will never forget that moment in 2012 Brisbane.
@@egrffin8534 I understand that you cry when you saw him.
RIP Cat Glover, RIP Prince 💜💜
Also Boni Boyer (Keyboards), RIP.

Thank you for sharing the Prince love with your sister & others!! We're keeping his gifts alive!
Can never have too much Prince in your life!!! ☮💜🎶
Never even though I feel like a rock and roll widow now
Good man spreading the gospel of Prince Rogers Nelson 💜😁
I envy every beautiful soul whom listen, for the very first time, to Prince, Michael Jackson, Sade, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and so many others. Music is one of the biggest joy in the world. It's great to see that Prince legacy makes happy new generations just as me since 1981 (and I'm 48 yo).
That's ONE song of a whole concert.💪🏼😎
Prince singing housequake from the live sign of the times concert (same as this concert) is a funky good time.
Yes! One of my favorites! I had a parrot that went nuts when I played Housequake and danced! He loved it!!!
That's a fun intro jam but you need to introduce her to Prince's actual musical masterpieces!
Rest in Heavenly Peace Katt 💜🐈

GDR 🎯
Yeah, man..what you said!
black balled not black mailed
Fun fact for you. The two gentlemen singing background vocals and dancing were at one time Prince's security and bodyguards.
Prince is Prince. Don't ever (and tell your friends) try to compare MJ to Prince. Yeah MJ was MJ but Prince was in a class all his own!!!
RIP Prince & RIP Cat 🙏🏾💜
Adorable sibling vibes with you guys. You are a good big brother for learning her. 💚
Prince was it! In my humble opinion. Man was an artistic legend ❤️
💜that's a fact💜
And just think, she still has to see him play guitar! As for what to recommend for her to check out by Prince, it would help to know what music she likes. Because there IS a Prince song for everyone.

I as one of the lucky people who saw 3 of his shows. 1 at Paisley Park...Amazing talent and no other like him
You need to watch the whole concert film that this song is from. It is called Sign O the Times the Movie
November of 1984 I bought tickets to the Prince’s Purple Rain Concert. Sheila E was his opening act.
Here for all of it!! 💚 BTW the lyrics Sheila E is rapping are the Edward Lear poem "Table to the Chair". (Queue "The More You Know" rainbow. 🤣)
Your sister is pure joy! Have her react to more P please.
The dancer knocking out those guys name was Cat Glover and she actually created that very dance. It's called the Cat Scat, Rosie Perez did it in the beginning of Do The Right Thing the movie. Rest well Cat!
Take a look at The Question of You or Empty Room/Elixir live in Montreux
As Prince said... "Real music by real musicians"

@@lisaharrigan1370 Michael and Prince not getting along is an outright lie.
It's a lie generated by jealousy and the media.
Prince and Michael Jackson did get along Prince was so sad the day we lost Michael Jackson. Prince wrote make a song for MJ that was very popular prince covered that song on one of his tours. Lenny Kravitz tells the story.
*****PRINCE said his influences were JAMES BROWN. And STEVIE WONDER. He Wanted to play as Many Instruments as Stevie.
Prince is King. Prince was huge with Aussie fans also. He had his way of doing things and wouldn't let anyone tell him he couldn't. The same goes for his gigs. Everything was rehearsed to death so no-one put a foot wrong. Stars had to work to get our attention. Like Madonna. She was the most outspoken, independent woman of the '80s.
I saw him live 10 years ago! U need to check out PRINCE WITH KENDRICK LAMAR! Perfection!
The greatest artist of all time together with Miles Davis, Mozart and Bach
If you're going to watch Prince you need to check out James Brown whos show and control of his dancers and such infuanced Prince.
It also helps to know that Sheilas father was the drummer for Carlos Santana ( the band Santana).

You need to experience Purple Rain, then you can get a full range of Prince.
Prince's Seven, Little Red Corvette or 1999 are also ones that you might like/love 😎👌!
Also Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Princes of the Universe 😳🤯👍
And Phil Collins; In the air tonight, Easy Lover and Sussudio😁👌

NO ONE even came close.
After Elvis of course

Another incredibly energetic performance.. Prince and the revolution America France 1986 or 85?
During the 80s I'd always liked Prince over Michael Jackson. Even though Michael sang and danced, Prince sang, danced and had the ability to play 27 different musical instruments. They'll never be another Prince.

And the band never dropped the beat. Not one time with all that dancing and jumping around. Not one drop.
I love being black 🖤
Kids y'all got a long long rabbit hole to go down...

Please... please don't compare Prince to MJ... no one ever compared to Prince... ever. 💜 O(+>
Why dont reactors ever react to "get off" i love that song. Too dirty?
Erotic City ❤
Where is her channel? You didn't tell us.
Is she your actual sister ?You have very different accents

Sorry Michael Jackson? UMMM Hell 2 the NO!!!
Why didn’t you introduce her to purple rain or when doves cry? Not a fan of the song you picked.
If you shall talk about MJ play a song with him. I bee so anoing people always talk about MJ!! When they shall react on the G.O.A.T 😠
As Prince said... "Real music by real musicians"
