It really is prince all day though . Michael is great but prince is the greatest. His musical variety, not mention all the instruments he played , all self taught . There will never be anyone like that . We've seen micheal clones in music but you can't clone prince's style .
LOGICALLY , U cant compare MJ and Prince. MJ was a child phenomenon prodigy who rose to teenage heartthrob ,megastar,then icon. Along side of writing and producing ( not just for self, but others as well. HE epitomized showmanship through innovations of video, choreography(of various genres) catapulting stardom to the stratosphere with the BIGGEST SELLING LP of all time. Prince child prodigy who not only played , but mastered many instruments. A one man army unparalleled musically.A Minneapolis Stevie Wonder who did it ALL. He was able to play MANY different genres as well as write for a plethora of GREAT talents. Musical genius...hands down! Polar opposite of each other, but BOTH GREAT " IN THEIR OWN RIGHT" Apples and Oranges...
So Mike wasn’t a great writer? Stop it man Mike can go anywhere and pack it out across the world but prince can’t you can ask a 5 year old in Africa and they will know Mike not prince sorry just being honest

Michael was a talented performer. But watching him and his brothers grow up you could tell they were groomed and marketed as the darlings for Motown. He always could look at anyone and mimic their movements .In 72 I saw him go on soul train and do the splits like James brown . Entertainers he admired he would incorporate their movements in his dance. Prince was on a different level. He could play multiple instruments and play them at a hall of fame level. Cant think of anyone else in the industry who could play guitar like Jimmy Hendrix and play bass like Larry Graham and play keyboards like Little Richard. Along with producing and conceiving groups at the drop of a hat, The Time, Vanity, Sheena Easton along with writing the material for them Not to mention producing his own movies and writing the material for those movies. His ability to constantly reinvent his sound throughout the decades is amazing. Very few people that can touch him as far as creativity production value and musical arrangement are concerned. He was the complete package. You will never hear of anyone having to write music for prince.

Absolutely. There's NO comparison. Prince was the definition of musical genius. He could write, perform every instrument, and produce albums on his own in a studio. Michael Jackson was primarily a singer and dancer. There is no comparison. Prince was so good that he was practically better at playing almost every instrument than members of his backup band. He was THE greatest artist of my generation and probably others. Even now, people are finally listening to his old music and realizing that they slept on so much complexity of sound and innovation.
Mj could also write,dance, compose , and choreograph his dance moves. This is far more close than people realize. In terms of talent alone they are both equal to each other.
@@universaltopics5667 Nope...As a musician, as a creative genius, Michael doesn't even garner comparison to Prince. As a performer, MJ gets props. But...Prince was a level beyond choreographing dance moves and such. (MJ didn't even really choreograph a lot of his stuff. He was tutored by Jeffrey Daniels for the moonwalk, the guy Turbo from Breakin', Travis Payne, Michael Peters, and a host of other people. He wasn't someone like Prince who basically dreamed music, and could go to a studio and crank numerous songs out in the middle of the night. Prince was a musician's musician. He was the artist that other musicians listened to because he could be so creative. This isn't close. Not by a long shot.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 Oh please.MJ is an absolute genius.Could sing like an angel ,compose and arrange and produce hits for himself and other artists , dance his but off and choregraph.So what if Jeffrey Daniels taught him the moon walk.MJ perfected it and branded it.He also came up with many other iconic dance moves.You dont know what you are talking about.
@@marmackk You sound like a fanboy who has very little idea of how the music business or music creation works. Jackson didn't compose, arrange, or produce much for other artists. In fact, Quincy Jones is responsible for a huge part of his success because Quincy, in fact, is the person who actually did the composing, arranging, and producing for numerous MJ songs. Credit also goes to Rod Temperton, who wrote Thriller and some other songs for MJ. Sometimes, when we know very little, it's in our best interest to either do our research or, even better, remain silent when we don't really know the subject matter very well. You should have stayed out of this one. You just embarrassed yourself.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 lol.Firstly I am a female,not a boy.Secondly you are ignorant and delusional.You havent a clue who MJ was and its clear to see.
I always enjoy this live radio show...it's Real, True, funny, professional, and stay linked with the culture... A lot of shows don't have this vibe... Brotha BHigh continue to be the shoulder for the culture to speak the real... 👑 👑 👑 👑
MJ is the King. Prince is just better. Songwriter, arranger, musician. Pretty much everything to do with a music. And I’m not hating on Mike. I am a fan. Stevie Wonder said it best...If Mike is the King, Prince is the Emperor. Maybe Stevie’s opinion don’t mean nothing. Idk 🤷🏿♂️
The thing with Mike is that his music was a lot more UNIVERSAL than Prince and many artists to follow. MJ music was for family entertainment while Prince was adult oriented.
@@locklife4336 I agree with u I’m more of a Pac fan than Biggie fan all day but u can’t deny the delivery,flow and wordplay Biggie had that would be str8 hating that why I said u can’t compare them both they had their own lane

Cee Lo is a cool dude. I’ve never listened to an interview with him, his very intuitive and intelligent, especially in the music world! Also, I’ll say this all day long, Michael and Prince can’t be compared. They are too different, their musical choices, ways to approach making music, their desired outcome…. And most of all, I don’t think they really even wanted to compete with each other. I love them both for their own talents and musical genius.
Mike Been Git'N In As A Pro Since 1969...Voice Changes..Style Changes..Generational Changes...Prince Is The Musician's Musician..But Michael Jackson Changed The Game!
ok but let’s be real none of princes song crack mjs top 10 there’s plenty of very talented people in the world that can play many instruments but without the sales who’s to say there a better musician then mike. mikes voice alone is a instrument and no shade to princes voice but it just isn’t anywhere near mikes
Michael Jackson is the 2nd Biggest Selling Artist of All Time! Prince is No.31, Michael has Sold Over 500 million records, Prince 100,million. It's not even close!
People sleep on Mike's musical prowess. He was very involved in the musical arrangements in his songs. More than people realize. Had #1 songs in 5 straight decades. Ceelo drunk
I love both MJ and Prince, but the majority of Prince hit songs were written by Prince and he wrote hit songs for other people. MJ wrote his own biggest hits but the majority of his hit songs were written by other people. Also Prince music rated R than MJ’s.
Michael couldn't read music but still could compose music. While he couldn't play all the instruments like prince, his stage presence was unmatched. Mike made it possible for every black artist to have their videos on MTV.
Lets not forget Micheal Did alot of his Own production As well .. Writing.. Not to mention performing The only thing to me prince had on mike was playing instruments.
Was crazy though my kid played the drums quite well he could play the guitar the piano the fact that's how we started most of his music besides his beatboxing and I'm a Michael used every part of his Body has an instrument and he knew all harmonies and his melodies
When statements like this are made I cringe. Hes great, but artist like J.Brown, Smokey, S.Wonder are definitely in his league. He has sales which is great over all them, but musically, vocally, production, most talent, originality he’s beneath all them.
MJ wrote some songs, but Prince wrote for himself, the Time, Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Vanity etc. Writing hits for others puts you on a different level.
@@wandamanning9198 prince is all over the internet with professional musicians around the world praising his performance and taking notes. not happening with MJ
Prince the 🐐 most fans are just causal and don’t understand how hard it is to write every song , play every instrument and produce a whole album prince talent is on a different level him, Stevie wonder and r kelly..I love mike but he was just signing someone else songs and dancing doing somebody else moves
Lol!! Check Mike's catalog . He wrote most of his own hits and the Jackson's hits after they left Motown, and coproduced most of his albums. Only thing Prince had on him was playing instruments.
Mj wrote too da fuck do your research bro before you comment on some real shit to be completely honest , respectfully I try to be humble with these comments but y’all got to stop down playing Mj bruh
@@dreedwards6859 nah Mj wrote some of his biggest hits like Billie Jean and don’t stop til you get enough and he wrote hits for his sister Rebbie and he wrote “Joy” by blackstreet which was hit and he wrote many of his hit he did on tours
There is TALENT in his (MJ) ability to be the CONDUIT of someone else’s work (meaning, not only can he compose HITS, he can interpret records he didn’t write, as his OWN)! How y’all turn a blind eye to this, is mind boggling 🤯?! I would say that’s even more impressive, to make someone else’s work your own! Then when you add in his incredible talent as far as his own musical prowess with constructing the songs in his head and getting the instrumentalist to play it EXACTLY as he envisioned, that makes him just as GREAT as Prince’s ability to play them himself, for they are BOTH just a means to an end. Y’all get caught up with the “process” while ignoring the END RESULT. Which is better, a chef that can make any dish or one that can make any dish taste good, even if not of his own creation?! The RESULTS speak for themselves. Thriller wasn’t a “fluke”. Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous, and History weren’t EITHER! People the world 🌍 over know MJ, even in small remote villages with limited to no access to modern technology and babies born today in those same remote villages, in addition with the rest of the world’s populace, are imbedded with MJ’s body of work in their DNA🧬 . Michael’s PHYSICAL BODY is an instrument and avatar to the physical manifestation of MUSIC 🎶 🎼 itself, a true “slave to the rhythm“! The fact that he is the greatest DANCER of all time, the greatest CHILD ACT/SINGER of all time, and the overall most SUCCESSFUL ARTIST of all time, in addition to his SHORT FILMS, are all part and parcel to his overall ARTISTRY!!! In other words, what I just named is his ANSWER to Prince’s “instrumental prowess”! Mike could be Prince, before Prince could EVER be Mike and that is a fact! In the end, you can “like” Prince all you want and hold him higher in your opinion, for that’s all it will ever be. No different than my own, team Mike. That is the 🔑, from a global scale, my opinion is the greater shared one and that stands for something… It is the determining factor to whom’s OPINION, is “closest” to a FACT, while still remaining an opinion. Both are GREAT and may they both R.I.P, but make no mistake, there will NEVER be another Michael Jackson. Ever.
Great analysis! MJ actually acted as a conductor of genius musicians to have them play what he wanted to express. James Brown did this too. He told Bootsy and Fred and Maceo what he wanted to hear.
Michael could stand still, frozen on stage for like 3 to 5 minutes before the show even started, and cause grown adults to straight up fall out faint!!! No one else did that before or since. Taking nothing from Stevie or Prince or Hammer (which I also love) but MJ was in a different universe.
I’m from Athens Ga, I went to school with Trey. I actually went to Danger Mouse’s crib with my cousin back in the day. I remember the rap group I was in we opened up for Witch Doctor and Big Rube at UGA’s Tate Center.

You can listen to Mike’s entire catalog. After princes top 30, it falls hard. The real genius is Stevie Wonder. Played every instrument and he was blind.
@@arronfrazier7873 Ok. Stevie Wonder did that at age 11 and he couldn’t see and he MASTERED them. Prince never really mastered anything outside of guitar and bass. Big difference
@@killacam8899 You must not know anything about Prince. Outside his father, he is basically self taught musicians. Also, will repeat, he at the time of his death played 21 instruments. He just didn't play guitar or bass. www.thesound.co.nz/home/music/2020/07/prince-played-every-single-instrument-and-sang-every-part-by-him.html
MJs talent as a producer and composer gets no mention because of his exceptional singing and dancing. The baseline for Billie Jean? MJ. He basically beatboxed the instrumentation for “Dirty Diana” “Who Is It” , “Stranger In Moscow”among others, and had the instrumentalists in the studio play it to the notes he had in his head. None of those songs even sound the same either. Teddy Riley said the production on the song “Dangerous “ was all MJ. He didn’t play instruments but he was a gifted composer. Many people don’t know that.
People forget mike as front singer of the j5. They never count that as his career for some reason. Add the j5 stuff at such a young age and its a wrap. People have short memories.
@@jamesway Exactly, Michael had actually 3 careers in the business. He was already called "living legend" in his teens:czcams.com/video/oG_3acrqGA0/video.html Prince is also a legend, people tend to claim he's better because he played instruments, created his music mostly by himself and was more prolific in his adulthood but quantity does not equal quality, though. Michael wrote and composed most of his hits. To each his own. Both of them were great
To y’all saying dumb stuff about Michael he actually produced a lot of his own stuff after awhile , and also is the only man ever to beat box his own song and sing it at the exact same time . Not to take away from Prince
@@ebonix33 Prince made a lot of people stars Prince wrote hits for everybody Michael needed Quincy Jones, Teddy Riley, Rod Temperton who wrote a lot for Michael. Prince did all of those things himself as well for others.
I'm better at what exactly? Was he a better musician and played more instruments? Absolutely but Prince couldn't touch Michael on that stage. Naw. Get it right. I can't even say one is better. Each lacks a little more in certain categories but I wouldn't say one is significantly better than the other.
True artist don’t need ta punch unless he/she wants to. Little shit like that messes up the bar/verse and you can tell when an artist is punching because they can’t think of the rest of the bar. You don’t write because you cannot. But you can’t rap either... Salute Cee Lo. True artist
Crazy scared me too. Sounded like Ceelo went to a dark place on that one. Genius. But dark and scary. God only knows what PRINCE saw in his mind when he heard that song.
This is the best show, he actually let people talk
Forreal
Indeed on that

Did Michael Jackson create his own choreography. did Michael Jackson conceive write and play every single instrument every hit song on every album he produced. no Barry Gordy no Michael Jackson no Quincy jones no thriller. Michael Jackson had help from some of the most talented people in the business. From Jeffery Danials to Michael peters When it came to choreography it was all prince when it comes to conceiving of the album arrangement of the song’s and performance of all instruments not just synthesizers or keyboards but lead guitar bass drums it was prince. prince did it all and at a level that no artist in the industry outside of Stevie wonder could come close and he did all live on stage with no lip sync. Michael Jackson was a pop icon. But nowhere near the artist prince was when it came to producing. Material. Michael Jackson fans are just as bad as Elvis fans they get blinded by their devotion to an entertainer
Ceelo one of the best story tellers out there 😂
Absolutely. There's NO comparison. Prince was the definition of musical genius. He could write, perform every instrument, and produce albums on his own in a studio. Michael Jackson was primarily a singer and dancer. There is no comparison. Prince was so good that he was practically better at playing almost every instrument than members of his backup band. He was THE greatest artist of my generation and probably others. Even now, people are finally listening to his old music and realizing that they slept on so much complexity of sound and innovation.
Mj could also write,dance, compose , and choreograph his dance moves. This is far more close than people realize. In terms of talent alone they are both equal to each other.
@@universaltopics5667 Nope...As a musician, as a creative genius, Michael doesn't even garner comparison to Prince. As a performer, MJ gets props. But...Prince was a level beyond choreographing dance moves and such. (MJ didn't even really choreograph a lot of his stuff. He was tutored by Jeffrey Daniels for the moonwalk, the guy Turbo from Breakin', Travis Payne, Michael Peters, and a host of other people. He wasn't someone like Prince who basically dreamed music, and could go to a studio and crank numerous songs out in the middle of the night. Prince was a musician's musician. He was the artist that other musicians listened to because he could be so creative. This isn't close. Not by a long shot.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 Oh please.MJ is an absolute genius.Could sing like an angel ,compose and arrange and produce hits for himself and other artists , dance his but off and choregraph.So what if Jeffrey Daniels taught him the moon walk.MJ perfected it and branded it.He also came up with many other iconic dance moves.You dont know what you are talking about.
@@marmackk You sound like a fanboy who has very little idea of how the music business or music creation works. Jackson didn't compose, arrange, or produce much for other artists. In fact, Quincy Jones is responsible for a huge part of his success because Quincy, in fact, is the person who actually did the composing, arranging, and producing for numerous MJ songs. Credit also goes to Rod Temperton, who wrote Thriller and some other songs for MJ. Sometimes, when we know very little, it's in our best interest to either do our research or, even better, remain silent when we don't really know the subject matter very well. You should have stayed out of this one. You just embarrassed yourself.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 lol.Firstly I am a female,not a boy.Secondly you are ignorant and delusional.You havent a clue who MJ was and its clear to see.
Lmfaoooo, “Micheal Jackson bout nine feet tall y’all!!!” 😂😂😂😂
I always enjoy this live radio show...it's Real, True, funny, professional, and stay linked with the culture... A lot of shows don't have this vibe... Brotha BHigh continue to be the shoulder for the culture to speak the real... 👑 👑 👑 👑
"Prince will see you now"
B High, maaaan keep up the Good Work, I enjoy the show, and you actually let the guest tell their side of the story.
Why are we still compare to Michael Jackson and Prince they both the a musical genius and we need to keep it that way
MJ
Prince
R Kelly
😂
One entertainer and 2 musicians.😂
Michael Jackson is in his OWN LEAGUE POINT BLANK!!!
I still like Prince more tho 🤷🏾♂️
eye agree, prince iz better..but mike waz/and still iz no doubt tha ultimate entertainer tho, hain'z dine
Mannnnn y’all interviews are dope
MJ is the King. Prince is just better. Songwriter, arranger, musician. Pretty much everything to do with a music. And I’m not hating on Mike. I am a fan. Stevie Wonder said it best...If Mike is the King, Prince is the Emperor. Maybe Stevie’s opinion don’t mean nothing. Idk 🤷🏿♂️
Stevie never said that.. stop.. and I hope you are aware by the way that a king is greater than an emperor
@@thesaintst1851 Type in that line with Stevie Wonders name then get back at me. Something from BET should pop up. I’ll wait✌🏿
The thing with Mike is that his music was a lot more UNIVERSAL than Prince and many artists to follow.
MJ music was for family entertainment while Prince was adult oriented.
R Kelly better than both
I agree with the Prince take
Love that Ceelo MJ Prince Story Good stuff yall #PiKaHsSo
U can’t compare MJ and Prince their both in a league of they own just like u can’t compare Pac and Big 🤷🏾♂️
Nah Pac was waaaaay better than Biggie, Pac’s music had a message and it spoke to people. If Pac was alive, the whole damn world would be different.
@@locklife4336 I agree with u I’m more of a Pac fan than Biggie fan all day but u can’t deny the delivery,flow and wordplay Biggie had that would be str8 hating that why I said u can’t compare them both they had their own lane
@@trippaveli82 Biggie had, delivering, flow and wordplay BUT so did Big Pun. Pac was able to separate himself from everybody because of his content and his wide range subject matter.
@@locklife4336 I Agree with u Pac had a song for anything and anybody whatever u vibe u was feeling or what every u going through Pac had a song for that he spoke to the people
Nah, Prince is my favorite but MJ really is the GOAT
Cee Lo - you are spot on about Prince and his legacy. Prince is the true artist.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOOK IT DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK QUEEN’S RECORD?? That ain’t no fly shit lol that’s like Lebron taking himself out the game before he breaks a record
Kobe stopped his own streak record to please Shaq.
Prince Is The Greatest Ever!! Yes Prince Better Than MIke!! Mike Need Quincy!! Prince Didn't Need A Producer...
I was rollin the whole interview 😂😂y’all boiz shot out 🤣🤣🤣
1 of my favs
Such an amazing conversation, enriched my spirit
Prince will see you now 😂😭
Cee Lo is a cool dude. I’ve never listened to an interview with him, his very intuitive and intelligent, especially in the music world!
Also, I’ll say this all day long, Michael and Prince can’t be compared. They are too different, their musical choices, ways to approach making music, their desired outcome…. And most of all, I don’t think they really even wanted to compete with each other. I love them both for their own talents and musical genius.
Mike Been Git'N In As A Pro Since 1969...Voice Changes..Style Changes..Generational Changes...Prince Is The Musician's Musician..But Michael Jackson Changed The Game!
#LoGreen much respect! also great informative interview big ups #b high & #wicked
I love Mike and Prince. I place Prince a LITTLE above Mike, ONLY because he plays so many instruments, BUT Mike is still amazing.
ok but let’s be real none of princes song crack mjs top 10 there’s plenty of very talented people in the world that can play many instruments but without the sales who’s to say there a better musician then mike. mikes voice alone is a instrument and no shade to princes voice but it just isn’t anywhere near mikes
Michael Jackson is the 2nd Biggest Selling Artist of All Time! Prince is No.31, Michael has Sold Over 500 million records, Prince 100,million. It's not even close!
Michael sold 1 billion records
The topic is who is more talented not who sold more records. Rhianna has more billboard hits than Beyoncé but is she more talented ?
B High, Cee-lo, and Wicked is a show in itself! #TripleOGz
People sleep on Mike's musical prowess. He was very involved in the musical arrangements in his songs. More than people realize. Had #1 songs in 5 straight decades. Ceelo drunk
I love both MJ and Prince, but the majority of Prince hit songs were written by Prince and he wrote hit songs for other people. MJ wrote his own biggest hits but the majority of his hit songs were written by other people. Also Prince music rated R than MJ’s.
Michael Jackson All Day I mean Prince Dope as fuck too.
Teddy Riley also said this about Prince on his IG live recently and he worked with M.J. Facts are Facts.
I agree. Prince is the GOAT
Agreed
He is definitely up there as one of greatest ever
Lol goat of what? Only people who live in America would think this
@@stevelumumbashabazzz5087 people in America is all that matters
@@ananiseervin1813 that’s what you think 😂 majority don’t own a passport so I understand.
Prince is the GOAT of all GOATS
In other words Put Some Respect on Cee Lo name.
GREAT interview!
Michael couldn't read music but still could compose music. While he couldn't play all the instruments like prince, his stage presence was unmatched. Mike made it possible for every black artist to have their videos on MTV.
What? Prince was not better than Michael. The whole world knows that
PRINCE performing your song during a show! Wow!
Lets not forget Micheal Did alot of his Own production As well .. Writing.. Not to mention performing The only thing to me prince had on mike was playing instruments.
Was crazy though my kid played the drums quite well he could play the guitar the piano the fact that's how we started most of his music besides his beatboxing and I'm a Michael used every part of his Body has an instrument and he knew all harmonies and his melodies
Prince wrote n produced 4 a lot of people behind the scenes!
Hey, we are allowed to have a favourite. Mine is MJ👑👍💯.
1 of these days. The world will stop comparing the 2
Prince was the total package, musician composer performer and still mysterious!
LEGENDARY STORY FROM A LEGEND TO A LEGEND!!
MJ is in a league of his own. Should not be compared to any other artist. R.I.P. MJ
💯
I don't know why people even entertain comparing them both anyway..both were at the top of the food chain, but totally different artist.
When statements like this are made I cringe. Hes great, but artist like J.Brown, Smokey, S.Wonder are definitely in his league. He has sales which is great over all them, but musically, vocally, production, most talent, originality he’s beneath all them.
@@CLASSYMUSIC1 Totally false, MJ made generational hits as a ten year old.
@@stonevillage2835 he didn’t make a damn thing. Those songs were created, arranged
Cee Lo is one of the very few to tell the truth about Prince and Michael Jackson
Please. Prince wanabe.
@@jamesway Ok MJ Wanabe
@@jamesway Prince is better than MJ
@@aj8331 🥱
@@aj8331 prince can't even hold mj jock. shut up aint nobody trying to be like prince
They both were perfectionists,now what you gonna say about that!
I like them both
Never forget when Mike had a whole army of men body guarding him
Well I will say Prince only because he composed songs.
Michael Jackson did compose too. " Beat it" "Billie Jean" , "Dirty Diana" only to name a few. Get your facts first.
@@lieschenm1069 In the songwriters hall of fame. I think that qualified mj as a composer. Lol
MJ wrote some songs, but Prince wrote for himself, the Time, Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Vanity etc. Writing hits for others puts you on a different level.

@@wandamanning9198these MJ Fans are Delusional....🤣🤣🤣
@@wandamanning9198 prince is all over the internet with professional musicians around the world praising his performance and taking notes. not happening with MJ
Prince is the band
Prince the 🐐 most fans are just causal and don’t understand how hard it is to write every song , play every instrument and produce a whole album prince talent is on a different level him, Stevie wonder and r kelly..I love mike but he was just signing someone else songs and dancing doing somebody else moves
Lol!! Check Mike's catalog . He wrote most of his own hits and the Jackson's hits after they left Motown, and coproduced most of his albums. Only thing Prince had on him was playing instruments.
Sounds like one of the casual fans you were referring to.
@@curtiswhite1008 he Co wrote there’s a difference and prince wrote whole albums and produced others like I said you a casual fan
Mj wrote too da fuck do your research bro before you comment on some real shit to be completely honest , respectfully I try to be humble with these comments but y’all got to stop down playing Mj bruh
@@dreedwards6859 nah Mj wrote some of his biggest hits like Billie Jean and don’t stop til you get enough and he wrote hits for his sister Rebbie and he wrote “Joy” by blackstreet which was hit and he wrote many of his hit he did on tours
There is TALENT in his (MJ) ability to be the CONDUIT of someone else’s work (meaning, not only can he compose HITS, he can interpret records he didn’t write, as his OWN)! How y’all turn a blind eye to this, is mind boggling 🤯?!
I would say that’s even more impressive, to make someone else’s work your own! Then when you add in his incredible talent as far as his own musical prowess with constructing the songs in his head and getting the instrumentalist to play it EXACTLY as he envisioned, that makes him just as GREAT as Prince’s ability to play them himself, for they are BOTH just a means to an end.
Y’all get caught up with the “process” while ignoring the END RESULT. Which is better, a chef that can make any dish or one that can make any dish taste good, even if not of his own creation?! The RESULTS speak for themselves.
Thriller wasn’t a “fluke”. Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous, and History weren’t EITHER!
People the world 🌍 over know MJ, even in small remote villages with limited to no access to modern technology and babies born today in those same remote villages, in addition with the rest of the world’s populace, are imbedded with MJ’s body of work in their DNA🧬 .
Michael’s PHYSICAL BODY is an instrument and avatar to the physical manifestation of MUSIC 🎶 🎼 itself, a true “slave to the rhythm“! The fact that he is the greatest DANCER of all time, the greatest CHILD ACT/SINGER of all time, and the overall most SUCCESSFUL ARTIST of all time, in addition to his SHORT FILMS, are all part and parcel to his overall ARTISTRY!!!
In other words, what I just named is his ANSWER to Prince’s “instrumental prowess”!
Mike could be Prince, before Prince could EVER be Mike and that is a fact!
In the end, you can “like” Prince all you want and hold him higher in your opinion, for that’s all it will ever be.
No different than my own, team Mike. That is the 🔑, from a global scale, my opinion is the greater shared one and that stands for something…
It is the determining factor to whom’s OPINION, is “closest” to a FACT, while still remaining an opinion.
Both are GREAT and may they both R.I.P, but make no mistake, there will NEVER be another Michael Jackson. Ever.
Great analysis! MJ actually acted as a conductor of genius musicians to have them play what he wanted to express. James Brown did this too. He told Bootsy and Fred and Maceo what he wanted to hear.
Michael could stand still, frozen on stage for like 3 to 5 minutes before the show even started, and cause grown adults to straight up fall out faint!!! No one else did that before or since. Taking nothing from Stevie or Prince or Hammer (which I also love) but MJ was in a different universe.
Love your interviews❤️💯💪🏾 KEEP IT UP🔦

You can listen to Mike’s entire catalog. After princes top 30, it falls hard. The real genius is Stevie Wonder. Played every instrument and he was blind.
Thank you
My favorite artist hands down
You do realize Prince upon his death played 21 instruments.
@@arronfrazier7873 Ok. Stevie Wonder did that at age 11 and he couldn’t see and he MASTERED them. Prince never really mastered anything outside of guitar and bass. Big difference
@@killacam8899 You must not know anything about Prince. Outside his father, he is basically self taught musicians. Also, will repeat, he at the time of his death played 21 instruments. He just didn't play guitar or bass. www.thesound.co.nz/home/music/2020/07/prince-played-every-single-instrument-and-sang-every-part-by-him.html
MJs talent as a producer and composer gets no mention because of his exceptional singing and dancing. The baseline for Billie Jean? MJ. He basically beatboxed the instrumentation for “Dirty Diana” “Who Is It” , “Stranger In Moscow”among others, and had the instrumentalists in the studio play it to the notes he had in his head.
None of those songs even sound the same either. Teddy Riley said the production on the song “Dangerous “ was all MJ. He didn’t play instruments but he was a gifted composer. Many people don’t know that.
The best show ever him nore n fat joe... Killin vlad. Good day people stay safe in all this snow all my east n Midwest people!
I like prince but Mike is the best ever
Agreed Man.
People forget mike as front singer of the j5. They never count that as his career for some reason. Add the j5 stuff at such a young age and its a wrap. People have short memories.
@@jamesway Exactly, Michael had actually 3 careers in the business. He was already called "living legend" in his teens:czcams.com/video/oG_3acrqGA0/video.html
Prince is also a legend, people tend to claim he's better because he played instruments, created his music mostly by himself and was more prolific in his adulthood but quantity does not equal quality, though. Michael wrote and composed most of his hits. To each his own. Both of them were great
@@jamesway wow that is so deep. That's it a amazing factual comment.💯💯💯💯
To y’all saying dumb stuff about Michael he actually produced a lot of his own stuff after awhile , and also is the only man ever to beat box his own song and sing it at the exact same time . Not to take away from Prince
I still vibe to Perfect Imperfections.
Cee-Lo Green is a legend...I appreciate interviews where they let the legend talk.
Definitely watching this whole interview
Who else is watching this thinking about Rev Rilo Goodlove? LMAO -- I
He KILLED that role 🤣🤣🤣
💯% FACTUAL STATEMENTS by CELO GREEN. PRINCE IS THE BEST MUSICIAN EVER 🎶 NOBODY BETTER THAN HIM!!!!!

Prince wrote hits for everybody
Michael needed Quincy Jones,
Teddy Riley, Rod Temperton who wrote a lot for Michael.
Prince did all of those things himself as well for others.
@@ebonix33Mike didnt put groups together 🤣🤣🤣
I'm better at what exactly? Was he a better musician and played more instruments? Absolutely but Prince couldn't touch Michael on that stage. Naw. Get it right. I can't even say one is better. Each lacks a little more in certain categories but I wouldn't say one is significantly better than the other.
True artist don’t need ta punch unless he/she wants to. Little shit like that messes up the bar/verse and you can tell when an artist is punching because they can’t think of the rest of the bar. You don’t write because you cannot. But you can’t rap either... Salute Cee Lo. True artist
Please enter rehab asap for this crazy take
Both men were supreme musically. Mike on the other remains unfuckable. Had mfs fainting, moonwalking, jerry curls and poplocking stop the comparisons.
He says Prince was better because Prince was a Gemini like him lol. I’m joking 🙃
Crazy scared me too. Sounded like Ceelo went to a dark place on that one. Genius. But dark and scary. God only knows what PRINCE saw in his mind when he heard that song.
I laughted so hard when ceelo said he a big ole nigga if u from the hood u felt that 😂😂😂
Thats why micheal sold more because people thought he was the best
100
Selling more does not constitute who’s better. Ask true musicians and you will find out who is better.
