Wow! Prince was a good friend. 19:00 Inviting Tavis to Montreaux, Switzerland for his show in the summer and hanging out with him after! 23:40 The "some" of us does not equal the "sum" of us. Love that!
Wow....so good to know Prince actually loved and respected Michael...but also so surreal to watch this interview now whilst Prince was still alive then...how ironic. Tavis Smiley must now write a book about Prince's live and on what he knew of him as a person, funny stories etc.
Michael, according to his father, was going to take his This Is It earnings to open a children's hospital. And, if you listen to the testimony in Murray's trial (I forget which physician), but Michael was denied informed consent and his patient's right to autonomy.
You can tell Prince cared about Michael because I bet he was a fan of the Jackson 5 like so many people in their childhood during the late 60s and during the 2005 trial he deleted bad comments from people on his Twitter page who were talking about Michael. I think that Pepsi commercial burn to his skull is was what started him on taking pain medication because if people saw the photos, they’d understand how painful it was. And I’m sure he had a hard time sleeping after THAT too. But I think his insomnia started way back during his childhood in the Jackson 5 days because they were working so hard like adults, staying up late practicing and performing and when you’re the star of the group at THAT age, of course you get more of the burden. But I wish Tavis Smiley would've talked to some Michael Jackson fans before making THIS book because the ONLY thing missing in THAT book were the corrupt corporate people that Michael was dealing with who were helping to destroy him and his career. Of course the clueless and haters DON'T know THIS because the media played a part of it too since they work along with SONY and were helping to spread lies about Michael to stop him from gaining more fans. People wanted him dead (which is something Tavis Smiley doesn’t know) and wanted those music catalogues and THAT tour was a set up and the ONLY way to get it back to SONY. Why do YOU THINK Sony is so serious about getting it anyway NOW that he’s gone? Corrupt people were forging signatures (like sneaky Tohme Tohme) to get Michael to do 50 shows when it was supposed to be ONLY 10 shows. And Michael wasn't taking drugs just to get high, he had serious health issues that could be life threatening and Lupus can sometimes cause cancer and dos cause people to go bald. This is why he was at a Lupus fund raiser in 2003 for a reason. When you have so many health issues at once, of course there’s gonna be a lot of medication to take along with it. So don't call him a drug addict as if you’re trying to say he was JUST trying to get high. Now Elvis on the other hand was the one getting high on cocaine, but you won't hear the racially BIAS media bringing that S**T up, them and their secretive ass selves. Michael's medication wasn't strong enough for all the health problems he had, he just had to take it to live on and THAT tour wasn't helping either because it made it hard for him to go to sleep. People need sleep, period, and without it, your mind isn't right because I KNOW what that feels like and experienced THAT before. You forget a lot of things and feel like a zombie, but I don't take medication for anything unless it's for cramps or serious physical pain from whatever. So clueless people need to get THAT straight. And "dumb dumb" Conrad Murray let the Propofol drip in Michael's body and forgot to STAY IN TH DAMN ROOM which is why Michal stopped breathing since Murray didn't come back in time. A wake up call to anybody who doesn’t know what the F**K was going on.
This is so sad. But I do remember when Prince was doing interviews with different people (like Tom Joyner), during the time that Michael was going through over the allegations and it was considered "cool" to bash Michael, they would try to get Prince to badmouth Michael and he would never take the bait which made me love him all the more. RIP to them both.
I watched this as I really enjoy Tavis but more because of Prince - I appreciated the comments about him - both legends gone too soon - I cry Purple Tears every day still
Michael and Prince should had collaborated on a crazy up tempo funky song and promote the song live as well. Can you imagine them both being on stage doing their thing? While at it i would add Stevie Wonder on the keys in the middle, he too is one of the greatest artists ever.
Y'know I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that the GREAT, PROFESSIONAL Michael Jackson could've been TRICKED into signing up for 50 shows---from just 10! That just doesn't SOUND RIGHT to me! Michael was MUCH SMARTER than that! NOBODY could take advantage of the 'King of Pop' like that! C'mon, Michael NEVER would've gotten as FAR as he did in his career, if he was that GULIBLE. I just can't understand how ANY MJ fans could BELIEVE that sh*t about him!
Before you say that, go watch the abc afterlife documentary on Michael and then showed that place BEFORE all this shit happened. So I will this. The reason why people believe this is because Michael looked odd and acted different from everyone instead of taking time to understand a human being because he is human first of all. Also anyone who believes this, strongly suggest studying this man and what he has gone through (especially watch this movie called Life of An Icon) so don't judge a man that there is 0 proof of this ever happening and the kids that said that he did said they lied soooooo
When someone mistakes the word "great" for "perfect" or "infallible", its no surprise they end up with the wrong conclusion about America. What made us great as a nation, was that for every major advancement of evil, there were people willing to risk everything to defeat it. Prior to the 1960s, more people believed in absolute truth, and God as the sole source of it. They held to personal responsibility and stared fear in the face, instead of running away. Yes, some very serious mistakes were made, and a lot of people suffered on all sides...not just blacks. But America was a nation that desired to stand on its own, instead of having everything handed to them. The latter isn't freedom, but tyranny in disguise. Our current problems were eerily predicted by President Theodore Roosevelt... "The United States was founded on the principle of Christianity. Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life, that it would be literally - I do not mean figuratively, but literally - impossible for us to figure what the loss would be if these teachings were removed. We would lose all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves."

Prince apparently good things to say about Michael Jackson. Too bad Michael didn't feel the same way about him. He's always said Prince tried to put a hex on him. SMH
Laurie Solomon Wrong. Michael use to rewind the performance that he and Prince did with James Brown when Prince almost fell. So he's been a bitter dude. Sorry.....your wrong again. You're on a streak
It's hard hearing or reading anything positive about MJ after the new evidence that surfaced. MJ seemed like a sick individual, I really don't care how great his music has been to me all these years.
Keep in mind that the people who put this stuff out, waited until he died to do so. Also keep in mind that all of his accusers went back on what they said, and admitted to lying about Michael Jackson, just for money.
None of these stories that came out are consisting of new "evidence". Recycled annual garbage. They take advantage of the general public for the sake of a salacious headline. Just think about it. If the LAPD (THE L-A-P-D...) found anything even remotely close to "child pornography", things would be a lot different. They ultimately destroyed his home, finding nothing.
Exactly. FBI didn't find anything that was inappropriate and if they did find porn, it was adult porn. Folks still believe he was a molester even though there are facts to prove he wasn't.

Prince actually loved Michael damn 😔😭😭😭
yeah when it was too late. he spent the 80s and 90s being bitter
That's so sad the way Prince reacted to Michaels death 😢😢 can't believe they're both gone like wtf! I always hoped that they would live forever 😭😭😭
prince was mean to michael for years
Michael and Prince two icons for eternity!
Michaels the biggest artist ever
If Prince died before MJ, I believe MJ would have done the same thing.
yes definitely
did what write a book?
DJ Gary show his admiration for prince
+clue104 oh ok
mj barely knew prince. he was always nice to him tho
50 years...it's amazing Michael was on the earth at all...he was a Heavensent angel 😇
Wow! Prince was a good friend. 19:00 Inviting Tavis to Montreaux, Switzerland for his show in the summer and hanging out with him after! 23:40 The "some" of us does not equal the "sum" of us. Love that!

in the 80s he literally despised Michael............ for some reason he always did
Wow so much information!! thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!! Omg such a touching story about Prince and MJ! So sad may god bless both their souls!! so sad
How did I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BOOK!!!
Michael, according to his father, was going to take his This Is It earnings to open a children's hospital. And, if you listen to the testimony in Murray's trial (I forget which physician), but Michael was denied informed consent and his patient's right to autonomy.
I believe that if Michael did the reunion tour with his brothers he would be alive right now.
Agreed but I think being that Joe had his hands in it Micheal wasn't allowing it..
damn need to read this book, didn't know it was that crazy w/ the managers...we lost a legend too soon.
Yeah, you're right about that. He was brilliant.

I have major love for Tavis Smiley... its that kinda good, bad or indifferent love. Great interview Sway.
Prince and mj similarities both jehova witness's , both same age! Both black both pretty . Nice fashion similar slim bodies petite
one lip-synced on stage. The other was the greatest performer in music history.
I was waiting for this interview. Now it's time for Sway to be on Tavis. It's only fair.
Great interview 👍
Good interview much respect to Travis Smiley I think I'm going to get that book. 👍
"Tavis" smiley
God bless you🙂

R.I.P to Prince and MJ
Informative as hell. Great job Sway.
Excellent interview!
Great interview! HB looking juicy as well!
What's the name of that first song y'all came in on???
Great interview.
thanks for wearing that blouse Heather B🤗
Michael and Prince should had collaborated on a crazy up tempo funky song and promote the song live as well. Can you imagine them both being on stage doing their thing? While at it i would add Stevie Wonder on the keys in the middle, he too is one of the greatest artists ever.
Marko Tiano Prince actually turned down an opportunity to duet with Michael on the song, "Bad," so it wasn't going to happen.
Go Tavis go
Real OG
say that T!! 🙌🙌🙌💙
Mannnnn Heather B just give my young ass one night lol gahhhhh damn.
Those mammaries got your young as mesmerized, huh?
😧😷😝
Lmao
I loved everything about this intervie, apart from Jay-z randomly sitting in and not saying a word.
I always had a feeling that Michael might eventually fall victim to those plastic surgeries, not someone taking him out. But Prince was a total shock.
michael ddint die from surgery
What song is that at the beginning
Damn MS.B😄😄😳😳
What happened in that London hotel room in March 2009.
Beautiful (view) from Heather B. today.
Y'know I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that the GREAT, PROFESSIONAL Michael Jackson could've been TRICKED into signing up for 50 shows---from just 10! That just doesn't SOUND RIGHT to me!

Find your purpose, take jobs along the way as needed. #dig #major🔑
Definitely a jewel

Both Sway and Heather look faded as hell. Lol
What is the latest on Travis Smiley?
Fun fact everything from the raid with the sheriff's was released online years ago ..I doubt if anything was found on him he would of been jail..

Prince recorded a song called FASCINATION in which he referred to Michael Jackson as "the epitome of doom" and "making more bucks than sense".
"Heather B"
en francais ?
Scotland didn't vote out of the EU. They voted to stay in. That's how much Trump knows about international politics LOL
John Landis was suing him? Now, you know HE belonged in jail after what happened to Vic Morrow and those kids.
Who belongs in jail?

0-6 minutes, yes Bernie would've beat Trump. Now, onto Michael and Prince. ✨
Prince should've made it with michael.life is not worth it.we will all die one day,and leave everything behind us.
15 teen of Micheal died
Love Travis, beautiful brother, but Heather B...0_o...bies.
Trump showing how little he knows about whats going on in the world as Scotland voted to REMAIN in the EU.... muppet!
