Another Platinum Wally Russell thread :youngsabo:

Prince doing big numbers in The Booth . . and everyone involved is benefiting greatly from the discussion. A lot was learned today and we're all better people for having participated in this discussion :blessed:


Still patting yourself on the back I see.

I'm just saying. He wasn't more exciting than Mike by a long shot, neither was he more athletic. Michael is probably the most unique dancer in popular music, and he's by far the most skilled. Compared to your average pop star, yeah Prince has moves, but he doesn't belong in the same conversation as Mike when it comes to pure dancing ability.

MJ was a very unique dancer. But as I said before, at times - Prince was more exciting during live performances. I've watched a lot of MJ music videos and live performances but some of the dancing Prince has done during the Sign O the Times concert film and the 1985 Grammy Awards were very exciting to watch. Also, the ability to do the splits à la the Nicholas Brothers, do the Detroit Crawl and then spin is quite a tiring exercise. MJ is more technically talented and gifted in dance, but I think Prince had to be more athletic to dance well. He wasn't born with it like MJ.

I guess it depends on what you like. Michael's style appeals to my dancing sensibilities and possesses a control and technical finesse that Prince lacks, but I can see why you'd find him more exciting.

anyone dissing prince doesn't know shyt about him or just plain ignorant.

Half these nikkas haven't even heard more than two Prince albums in full. And probably have only ever heard Thriller and Bad

Talking to the Coli about Prince :mjlol:

Yeah because Prince is some underground artist on the come up and not a fukking Icon that mostly everyone adores..:stopitslime:

Who trying to go track for track? But don't forget you gotta play Prince shyt on mute cause the faq filed a fukking complaint:camby:
