Why do people compare Prince to Michael Jackson so much

[shutterguy]

Point me to a MJ album solely done by him........ instruments, vocals, producing, etc.

Prince was G.O.A.T. to do it, period. One of the greatest musical geniuses to be in the booth.

Because they are two GOATS who were peers. It's not that hard.

 

[AlainLocke]

michael jackson did those things as well

Michael Jackson did not found a genre of music...

Michael Jackson was effectively the equivalent of Drake, he would do whatever is popular to sell.

If synchronizing farts to drum patterns was popular...he would've done it.

Don't conflate this. MJ himself influenced contemporary dance. His pool of producers and musicians influenced contemporary music.

Exactly.

Michael Jackson's biggest impact on music was how to package it and sell it to the masses as a solo artist. MIchael Jackson also proved that a solo Black artist can be profitable and as big as the Beatles.

That and dancing.

He didn't influence shyt else.

And what musical genre came from MJ?

you know which one breh. it's cool that you like prince though. he just is not on michael's level and most people will agree with that and they have voted through album sales.

I'm not even playing dumb. Really, which one?

Madonna also sold more records than Prince. Do you think Prince isn't musically on her level too? I'm not arguing who's more popular. I'm arguing who had more musical ability. MJ can't compete with Prince musically.

Because they're the two greatest musicians/artists to ever do it..and they're Black. Which keeps Yt people pressed.

they’re not the greatest

 

[TheDarkCloud]

they’re not the greatest

I gotta see this.

nikkax in here hating on Stevie Wonder lol Holy shyt

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

My Pops said the same thing.

Said Prince would get mad when you compared him to Michael since MJ didnt play instruments.

Prince wanted to be compared to Jimi Hendrix not Michael.

[Travis]

prince was not even on michael's level

 

[TheDarkCloud]

nikkax in here hating on Stevie Wonder lol Holy shyt

Not even. I love all of them. That's why this thread is problematic. You can't talk about one legend without looking like you're dismissing the others.
