Did you really have to say that MJ turning white was the greatest thing to happen to him?
Tanguy Blanchard it’s a joke
PraisetheŠun can you tell me how this joke started? I have seen a lot of comments like this but I am new to this channel so can't figure it out
@EzeGengar15, i know about that. But what i don't know about is the general format of these jokes in fantano's comment section. like this format "anthony, i know _____ but you didn't have to say [atrocious thing]"
@@punpompur it's to get people to watch the whole video and then get trolled because he didn't actually say that. Fantano's not the only one, either. In fact, there's several review channels that have the atrocity format in their comment boards.
@Jason Day How and when did this start?
Logic stole your look
ThRash Gaming this hurt me in the best way possible.
HHahaha
Lmao
Dead 💀😂
😂😂😂😂
Michael Jackson is awesome, but there's people in this comment section that are really acting like Prince did nothing.
Why do Prince fans always feel the need to compare both ? Maybe they just say their opinion just like the author of the video .
@@reinemazidath5466 The reason is because Prince and MJ had a feud that lasted decades.
@@NTheDragon0 when??
@@NTheDragon0 Thats not true at all .
@@reinemazidath5466 It is 100% true. MJ would always think Prince was being mean to him, Prince would refuse collaborations, they were in a small feud that lasted decades which later turned into a rivalry. There was respect for each other but that's about it.
I'll never understand why people are obsessed with comparing Michael to Prince. They're absolutely nothing alike. It's like comparing Sammy Davis Jnr to Jimmy Hendrix, or Andy Warhol to Picasso ie, ridiculous and pointless! Just stop.
d c They get compared because of their hair
Mike Jordy : "stahp it"
They were both black contemporary pop androgenous artists born in disco with high pitch voices, and they both danced, they are indeed very comparable. If you like one better than the other and you don't like people saying you're wrong it's your own problem. Music discussion is healthy and entertaining, stop shutting it off.
Its like comparing Arnold and Sly in the 80s , both from same era and same genre so that theyre compared isnt unusual
@@thedudeunderyourbed8474 I genuinely can't compare them because they both made different types of music. I love them both but they weren't the same in their impacts. Michael had a further reach and a larger influence because everyone could listen to him it didn't matter. Prince on the other had wasn't meant for everyone. He was definitely for the grown and sexy. It think it just depends on the sound you are looking for. Everyone has know Michael since we were children. Most people don't find about prince until they are a bit older to understand the stuff he was singing about.
Michael Jackson was a better entertainer but prince was a better musician
KingKennyTv perfect answer perfect comment
Look up the Definition and the meaning of the word ''Musician'' please.
Apples & oranges. You ignored ''or is musically talented" Anyone who composes, conducts, or performs music may be referred to as a musician - Do you understand that??.
Fact is, MJ did play instruments - not like Prince because he didn't need to as they weren't part of his performance. I don't care if Prince could play 40 instruments, it certainly didn't and doesn't make him better - There was & is no comparison between the two, at all. Get over it.
chubbyurma mj played instruments
Michael Jackson made all of his art himself by scatting and beatboxing.
Thatistheplan is bleeding into Fantano
he cant resist being a meme
Well that is the plan
No problems here.
Prince
It had to go somewhere.
"Prince scratches some itches for me that MJ doesn't."

Both are great for different reasons, but I think Michael Jackson is a better performer/entertainer and he is more iconic. He's also a better singer in my opinion.
Michael Ratynski he isnt tho
Michael Ratynski stfu
@Tanguy2412 "healthiness" in singing feels like a pseudoscience. Everybody on the Internet disagrees about it and the people who hurt their voice usually just sang far too much.
Don't sing when it hurts and you probably shouldn't be singing two hours every evening for weeks. That's all the health tips you need.
LameStudiosInc Anthony is not credible kiddo. Read the court transcripts and FBI files mate. 😂
@@sarahhoughton3258 Sleeping with lil boys is alright? And he made good points. FBI transcripts lmao isn't an argument.
Michael - Vocals, songwriting, stage presence, ability to access great session players/musicians, fashion, looks.
Prince - Vocals, songwriting, stage presence, great concepts e.g. albums creating eras, fashion, looks, self recording/producing, and this is where Prince wins, Prince is a virtuoso plays basically all instruments available and more than beast at each instruments like Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums etc… more than Pro fissionable at each of those and master of his voice!!!
Agreed.
Idk. Some of the eq-ing on rince's music is downright bad. Really hard to listen to.
He was a better musician if you consider that being able to play a wide variety of instruments. Mike was in a whole nother league as a song writer though, not factoring in dancing and entertaining. Prince also benefitted more from pushing androgeny in a addition to racial ambiguity which they both benefitted from.
Where Mike wins to me a s musical mind is that his music stands the test of time far better where a small amount of Prince's music is even listenable to me as someone who didn't grow up in their prime eras.
99%of his songs are garbo.
@@J-HueQuincy jones wrote
@@dwaynekeenum1916nope it was rod temperton for some of off the wall and thriller ✌️
I think it's sad when people want to undermine Michael's songwriting ability, vocal range/singing ability/ voice manipulation, songwriting process (beatboxing and singing all the parts of a song on a tape recorder), vision for music videos etc.
luname Agreed!
I don’t think anyone can deny MJ’s obvious extreme talents. A lot of people just think Prince was better 😄
B B I didn't say deny. I just see people trying to confine Michael Jackson to being "the greatest entertainer of all time" (which isn't wrong) but he too was a "true artist" despite his mass appeal.
B B The minorities think Prince was better...The majority know it's MJ all the way.
True. But Galileo Galilei was also a minority when he said the earth moves around the sun. And guess who was right. So that isn't really an argument. But then again, both extremely talented.

"Prince out-lived Mick Jack" - K. Dot 🥶
Prince is probably the bigger genius, but honestly, I'll never come back to one of his songs out of the blue. i have weird days where i randomly watch MJ for hours. He's just the better entertainer and had more catchy titles.
Raphael Schostok I don't get this "bigger genius". MJ composed music, was an outstanding vocalist, one of the best dancers of the 20th century, an amazing visionary artist, wrote screenplays for his music videos, choreographed his stage shows and dance sequences in music videos. He was innovative in all of these fields. How is Prince the "bigger genius"?
Richárd Kovács that's because he is. I love both of them though
Eymarr Blank What does "bigger genius" mean? I thought there's genius, and not genius, period.
Richárd Kovács can't lie. You love Mj i love him and Prince too. Are you offended
Eymarr Blank I asked you a simple question: do you know what "less genius" and "more genius" is? My bet you can't answer that question, yet you keep repeating it.

It is all about opinion, I prefer MJ, and you shouldn't have to explain yourself
was lowkey hoping this would be 8 mins of in-depth Prince / MJ discussion but it's fine, i'm fine ;_;
Low-key is not a word you fucking idiot
dog person it kinda is
0:08, Death Grips gonna sample that
For some reason, I believe they are both extremely talented. Sorry for my amateur knowledge about music, but I believe they are equal. One’s a child prodigy who learned to dance on his own, and grew up to be one of the most amazing singers ever, using lots and lots of emotion and a powerful voice. He also can beatbox, and help produce great songs. He also is awesome in military-styled costumes. Another grew up to be bold, but sexy, and grew up to do a lot by himself. He also became an amazing singer, and reaching his emotions into a crowd, grabbing many women’s hearts with his splits and brave style. He lets off an impressive vocal range, too. They both have beautiful powerful vocal ranges, full of emotions.
And what makes these artists both legendary, unlike today’s artists, they both don’t always sound emotionless, or weird.
Shyanna agree to disagree i like wat u was sayin about mj but yea ur getting a like
MJ is much better though
"help produce" great songs???

Prince was iconic and absolutely an incredible entertainer and performer. not making an argument as to who's better but I keep seeing that used against him as if he didn't do wild and amazing stage performances too.

Was Michael Jackson on the Batman soundtrack? I rest my case
Any artist on any soundtrack makes you look lamer.
@@CJTranceAddiction no
@@fizzpeakgamer1318 Of course it does, because now it seems like a marketing ploy....it's not just about the music. Like, for example....if Who Is It by MJ appeared on a soundtrack to me it would lessen the songs value. I would associate it too much with the movie and that, my friend, would totally suck.
@@CJTranceAddiction you do know mj has a movie soundtrack imo
@@CJTranceAddiction and the batman soundtrack is awesome
MJ had the magic, Prince had the technical feats and incredible catalogue, but if you put them both on a stage...MJ is gonna draw the bigger applause. They're both great.
awookieandagerman have you seen prince on stage?!?! He’s insane.
MJ stopped singing live in 88 right? I think that alone will have to make Prince the artist who would draw a bigger crowd if they were both on stage.
Alec Reyna No, MJ "stopped" singing live (well, partly) on HIStory tour... Two tours later... When lupus hit his lungs. But he danced full live, you know. Even w/ his inflammed lungs.
Alec Reyna I guess MJ w/ his cca 800 concerts in his life kind of proves he did sg right. And Prince never drew as big an audience globally as MJ.
Richárd Kovács Yah they both aimed for different goals, MJ wanted to sell records and Prince wanted 100% creative and monetary control of his work. Prince did have 30+ tours in his life, and was the top selling touring artist for a couple of years, so he was definetly no slouch on stage either
I like prince but I’m more of a Michael guy
not anymore nigga
C.T.F wym
THIS is great. But, I LIKE this
Ezzy Michael fans mad at you 😳
Sooooo you like kids. I kid I kid lol
Michael Jackson was better because people cared about him more. I adore Prince. He was a phenomenon. But he wasn't the King of Pop. He was a highly influential singer who will go down as a legend. But there has yet to be one pop singer who even approaches Michael's legacy. He had hit after hit after hit. Prince had plenty of hits but no where near Michael. I get it Anthony, you're approaching this question from the perspective of someone who lives and breathes music and from there I could see why you would choose Prince, he is the better musician. But music isn't simply about technical ability. Michael's skill was the ability to bring in everybody, no matter who they were, to groove to his music. I've talked to hardcore racists who couldn't help but sing along and dance to his music. It's so infectious, so joyous you can't help but like it.
Prince has a lot of great music but a lot of it sounds very dated. Michael's music sounds timeless.
I didn't even know who Prince was till he was compared to mj. Don't kill me pls
ok
Ya ain't worthy enough for someone to waste their time to kill.
Same
fantano is turning sloooowly into thatistheplan
so THAT was the plan
you can see thatistheplan seeping through...let him out melon..
I loved Michael a little more when i was a kid, but when i dived deep into music as an adult Prince EASILY became my favorite artists ever!
Prince, hands down!
Prince, Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, all better than MJ
There's a lot of stigma around MJ that still lingers today for people who are younger and didn't grow up with his music: the child molestation allegations, his feminine voice/characteristics, and the overall craziness. I'm 22 and all I knew about MJ growing up were the negatives up until his death, it's all you heard about and he was the butt of a lot jokes.
I'm not arguing whether he's better than Prince or not, but I think people should go out of their way to actually listen to MJ's music. Even Off the Wall, which was a huge album in its own right, gets overshadowed constantly and a lot of younger people who may have at least heard Thriller or Bad, probably haven't heard Off the Wall, which to me and a lot of other fans, think it's his best work, and he was only 20 at the time. And before that, his older music like with Forever, Michael, is great.
Joe Vargas people tend to forget Dangerous and HIStory too. His most personal and best albums IMO.
Joe Vargas he's a virgo and virgos are the butt of all jokes.I learned that the hard way.
i'm triggered that dude used "new wave" the way he did.
Prince so fuckin genius
Real king
I grew up with Michael Jackson and Prince I discovered as an adult. It is silly to pit them against each other because I listen to them for completely different reasons. Prince was the better artist and Michael Jackson was the better entertainer
Melontano, does your shirt say Hitler Life?
so what you're saying is, Breitbart is your primary newsource
I like that fantano weighed up both sides of the Prince Michael Jackson arguement. And he gave his opinion in the most neutral way he could (by not shitting on mj’s aspects that he thinks prince done better)
I saw both artists live a number of times over 15 to 20 years and this is what i thought about them. MJ was amazing live in the 80's both singing and dancing. I never liked his backing vocalists, They seemed weak to me. I saw him again in the 90's Dangerous tour and i thought i was watching the exact same show i watched years ago. Apart from some new songs it was the same dance routines and same postures. I saw Prince live in the 80's and thought he was incredible. His band and backing vocalists were so tight and great. His songs sounded different from the recording but actually better. I saw him again in the 90's and in 2014 and he would always rework his songs and they always sounded fresh. On top of that vocally live i always though Prince sounded much better and always more on the note than MJ. Prince didn't need to dance and yet captivated a crowd as much as MJ did dancing. MJ with recorded songs was obviously more successful and maybe more consistent, but i never thought of Prince as a chart artist like MJ was. I know it may sound like i'm biased towards Prince but for me the true test is what someone is like live and if i had a choice to watch 1 of them it would be Prince but on the record side i can't separate them. They were so different in content and style its crazy really to compare. I'm just glad i saw both in my lifetime!!
I didn’t realise Prince > MJ was even an unpopular opinion. MJ was a great singer and performer, but Prince is one of the the greatest singers/songwriters/guitarists/performers/personalities/style icons/lovers of all time..
The Notorious Michael Jackson Shakur for Prince, sure. I don’t even see a problem with that. That’s how good a guitarist he was.
Okay, he's a better guitarist. Not a better musician? You're comparing Gambino to Kanye homie.
Ryan Cole lol he is a far better musician than Mike
Well, give me some facts cupcake, stop spitting just opinions! Give me some stats to prove him better! Because culture can lie about talent, but only for so long. You're telling me he stayed underrated and under-celebrated through 39 studio albums? Nah.
Ryan Cole
GAMBINO VS. KANYE ??
I'M NOT BEING A SMARTASS , BUT WHO'S BETTER IN THAT SCENARIO ?? BECAUSE HONESTLY I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE . SURE , KANYE CAME FIRST BUT NEITHER ONE
OF THEM MAKES MUSIC THE WAY THEY USED TO .
THE GOOD SONGMAKING FORMULA THAT THEY ONCE HAD HAS EVOLVED INTO SOMETHING ELSE .
KANYE ONLY HAS ONE CLASSIC ALBUM THAT I CAN STILL LISTEN TO .
GAMBINO ONLY HAS ONE CLASSIC ALBUM THAT I CAN STILL LISTEN TO .
AND IF YOU'RE SAYING KANYE IS BETTER , REMEMBER THIS :
IT'S WELL DOCUMENTED THAT KANYE HAS HAD A SHIT LOAD OF GHOSTWRITERS ON EVERY ALBUM PROJECT .
KANYE DIDN'T EVEN DO THE BEATS ON HIS THIRD ALBUM .
THAT JOB WAS GIVEN TO D.J. TOOMP.
Can we please start every video on this channel with a bass riff? Thank you melon.
@fantano i think you greatlay underestimate MJ's msuical and writing ability. you know most of the songs on Thriller and Bad where Demos created by MJ first before he brought to quincy and the session musicians most fo those compositions werent greatly changed. But yes Prince is well clear but MJ was closer than people thought he was. Just saying.
i dont think we underestimate it we just think prince is better in terms of musical and writing ability
@@JoseGarcia-ki3vk that's not really an answer. Of course there is a place Prince can go that MJ. Can't but what I'm saying is MJ was also around the best Musicians of the time at Motown and then continued to be around them as he grew older. Further to the point MJ was a professional musician before Prince and The Jackson 5 was an influence to Prince growing up, that says something. Peace
“LET'S ARGUE: Cal is a better reviewer/artist than Anthony can ever be!”
i miss meme review
Prince was better musician and singer, but Jackson was better dancer (although he did not invent his dance steps)
Michael was well-aware of how great Prince was. He saw him as genuine competition. The entire Bad album was a direct response to Purple Rain, and the title track was meant to be a duet with him in the first place. So regardless of who you prefer, Prince was a major influence on Mike, and I'm not sure the same is true the other way around.
This is probably my favourite series that you’re making right now, keep it up melon
the fantano channel is a just diet thatistheplan
for the next lets argue
its a smart that is the plan
2pac and Biggie were even influenced by Prince Pac has a whole list of songs based of prince when thugs cry when doves cry
But it's MJ that ended up featuring rap music on his records. The rap artists respected MJ for it.
Kendrick also has MJ influence
The. Why did 2pac sample Michael Jackson song librarian girl?
@@codeytherex5954 kendrick has no MJ influence whatsoever. Maybe he's more of "inspired" but in terms of music, there's no MJ influence on any of his songs. Kendrick is mostly infuenced by artists like Andre 3000 - who is heavily influenced by prince. Kendrick also plays a live show with prince, kendrick even claims that prince is one of the influence to his tpab album and says that there should be a prince featured song on the album but didn't make it on time.
@@leipein do you ever listned his interview on mj? Pls educate yourself
Michael Jackson was always going to be a star, but QUINCY JONES took him to the next level. Prince could do EVERYTHING, and most things better than just about anyone. Look how many of his COVERS have been hits! Look at how many artists he helped launch to stardom! All respect to Michael Jackson, but Prince is one of the most versatile talents in music history. I would have loved to hear what nastiness he and Trent Reznor could have cooked up back in the mid-90s. Bowie, Prince and Reznor together on a mini-project, like 3 songs... One of my dream collaborations.
Michael Jackson was already a Superstar, and well established in the music industry when he met Quincy......But Michael would not have reached MEGA status without someone like Quincy .
@@chelsearogers1289 Oh yeah. For me, it's not inconceivable that Michael Jackson, had he not teamed up with Quincy Jones, could have been, album sales wise, on par with a group like the Commodores combined with Lionel Richie's solo career, more or less.
EXACTLY!! I still love both tho 🙏🏾🙏🏾
If Prince is better than MJ then why this nigga is dead while MJ is still alive
Obada Karabelli yeah that’s true prince is dead for a reason and Mike’s alive for a reason
Obada Karabelli this is an underrated point
Obada Karabelli oh boy do i got news for you
What the hell does being dead or alive have to do with anything ?
But MJ's singles >>> Prince
And MJ's music videos >>> Prince

But Prince discography > MJ'S discography. That's a hot take right there
And Prince's musicianship >>>>>>>>>> MJ's
Touche
CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) is bad because the target audience is suburban moms in their 30s and 40s with 2-3 kids looking for pop and rock music less "inappropriate" as an alternative to secular pop and rock so the music has a financial interest in sounding "hip" to people who haven't paid attention to what's popular for around a decade and sanitizing anything that might be even remotely controversial or envelope-pushing in the lyrics.
Prince has 4 albums that would be michaels best
This is one of the better arguments you've had thus far in the "Let's Argue" segment
Great take Anthony, to me it's pretty easy.
Prince > MJ
Prince wrote, played and produced the vast majority of his music, was extremely prolific (8 fantastic albums in 7 years) and was a stellar performer. Each album he stretched out further with his musical abilities (playing with Miles Davis and Madhouse etc). Not to mention the fact that he was an extremely underrated guitar player, could shift genres on a dime and was always stretching live in new exciting ways. I could easily see the argument for him being the most important pop musical artist of the last 35 years (I see his influence on artists from Janelle Monae to Muse).
MJ was an excellent live performer, very charismatic and had a string of awesome albums (the Quincy Jones produced era) but for sheer artistry and music that will live on, IMO it is unquestionably Prince.
Purple Rain, Sign O' The Times, 1999, Parade, Dirty Mind, Around The World In A Day, Controversy & Prince...all before he was 30.
You do know MJ played the piano and guitar and drums
You're going to incorporate youth as an arguing stance? Seriously? Jackson Five through Jacksons, etc. Michael had music from the 60's to today? Music and Me? Ben? Got To Be There? He was a top artist before he was an individual artist, and then became the top individual artist? Michael's legacy was musically longer, more fulfilled, and longer lasting statistically, emotionally, and in relevance. Compare hip-hop references of Michael to Prince, as a measure of current culture. Michael is everywhere today, Prince shows up sometimes.
Michael's estate released a remix project last October, man. Michael is forever, no doubt. I know people that didn't know who Prince was until he died, man. Who doesn't know MJ?
OmarIsuf who the fuck is Prince?
Ehh I have to disagree, especially about whose sheer artistry and music will live on more, but I respect your opinion. I do believe Prince was a better musician in the technical stance as he could play a variety of instruments, but I don't think his music holds up as well. Michael's music was simpler, but it made a stronger impact. At the end of the day, people reference Beat It, Thriller, and Billie Jean far more than Purple Rain, 1999, and Sign O' the Times.
And people sleep on MJ's own ingenuity all the time and reduce him to just "another pop star" which may be because of so many recycled pop artists trying so hard to be like him that we forget what a pioneer Michael was in his day. There weren't many pop singers at the time writing songs about groupies (in a bittersweet but leaning towards a negative stance), gang violence, pressure from the media, or criminals inspired by 1930s gangsters.
I choose the better singer, the better artist, the better songwriter and the one who plays instruments.
I think talented prince

MJ was like a opera-composer. He had everything in his mind and the most difficult task was for the other artists to follow along. Prince was better at guitar but come on, Purple Rain < any MJ banger
Give In To Me>>>>Purple Rain
Mj bad song > any Prince song
He had basic outlines in his head more than full compositions. You realise he had A LOT of help getting the songs to sound like full productions? Prince was closer to having it worked out in his head, and he could actually play the parts. And absolutely not about Purple Rain. It's much deeper than just about anything Jackson ever did and much more epic.
MJ is the better entertainer and prince is the better musician
What an ignorant and stupid thing to say, i can't 😭😭
This comparison always for me is the hardest to make a clear decision. Because I am a fan of both. And dug deeply into both artists music and personality by watching a lot of their interviews and reading their old write-ups. Prince was clearly more musical. When it comes to instrumentation and experimentation with different sounds, styles, and ETC. But what Michael Jackson couldn't do with instrumentation he did with his vocals and cleaned majority lyrics and simplified his style specifically so he could appeal globally; he touched on that in interviews. To people that didn't understand English but could understand rhythm. So with the understanding of both artists intentions. I think they were on different parallels going in a slightly different direction. Prince was more so into the art for the sake of the art. Michael Jackson had intentions to truly bring people to gather with his music. He knew he couldn't make it too artsy and too complex or it wouldn't translate effectively or as catchy, even though he had his artsy pieces. I do not think he was as artsy and complex as Prince could be. Cause Globally awareness and just numbers, Michael crushes Prince when it comes to just the pure reach (l know you acknowledged that earlier in the video.) But Prince's influence on actual artists and the music community is staggering as well. So I can see why you went with Prince.
Shadow So Prince was more musical, but it was MJ who communicated through music and rhythm...? Is it? Do you get you contradict yourself seriously? To create a musical language that reaches out to ppl regardless of culture, language, age, sex takes a VERY musical and VERY artistic person. MJs wisdom and knowledge on humanity in general obviously enormous. How many artists do you know, who created a global artistic language? Fantano went w/ Prince b/c he thinks MJ was weirder. As if he knew him, as if the media didn't creat a fake persoanlity around MJ (for obvious reasons), as if weirdness has anything to do w/ artistic imput, as if artists were "normal, average ppl" in general... And MJs influence isn't restricted to performing, either. His influence reaches beyond music. Just check the exhibition on MJs influence on visual arts.
i love how this channel is slowly but surely morphing back into thatistheplan

I can give about 300 arguments why Prince is better than Mj, I'll stick to 1 this time
Better Baby-sitter.🤣
lmfaoooo ion even think he did that shit but that's funny
I love both artists for different reasons. They both put out a lot of material I personally did not like as well as a lot of songs that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Anthony you can't end your discussion of prince and MJ by calling them both n words
His inner thatistheplan is seeping through
Michael Jackson > Prince
Prince as an individual was extremely talented as he played multiple instruments, wrote, produced and recorded virtually everything himself, but he made a lot of songs that I just never cared for. MJ on the other hand, both as a solo artist and with The Jackson 5 had so many quality songs that are memorable and easy to like. The songs Michael himself wrote were up to bar with the songs he didn't write + he's by far the best dancer of the two. In terms of vocal ability/range they are pretty even, but I prefer the sound of Michael's voice overall.
Ngl, people who tell MJ is better than Prince, just take the moment to at least watch a concert or a live performance of Prince. Maybe, if you feel it after that, you will take the courage to hear 3 or 4 Prince albums, and you will take in count how most of the work of Prince is incredible and perfection "on his own way". I respect and love both MJ and Prince's music, but MJ took way more consideration on how to promote his music than Prince ever did, that's why he has more recognition as an artist (and a little bit overrated as an "artist", he was a great singer and one of the best performance the world have ever seen, but it doesnt chance the fact that most of his 80's music was so great due to Quincy, Temperton and Toto's touch, not entirely because of MJ as the people think).
🤫mj is the king not Prince
its incredible that the industry has progressed to a point where we are comparing fred durst to modern artists and saying why he is better than them
*I didn’t know melon was talented.*
Have you ever thought of doing some bass cover and or bassist discussion videos? I’d like to see more about your personal musicianship melon-dude.
Experts know that Prince was a better artist. Who wants money when you got respect by the universe!?
@brittany lee spencer I can tell hundreds of credible experts names that respected and praised Prince. Please tell me one name, JUST ON, of any credible expert that respects MJ, just one.
@brittany lee spencer sorry but those are colleges and friends, YOU LOOSE.
@brittany lee spencer so if you don't care, just leave, PLEASE.
@brittany lee spencer and they both Paul and Prince were right, they both had the gusts to confront the biggest dictator in the system and they both paid for it. BTW I ask you to quote an music expert to back up your claims, you came back with recording artists names, some friends some colleges. If you don't know what your talking about, why lie?
@brittany lee spencer you see? nothing to proof your claims, like every MJ fanatic JUST INVADE YOU TUBE VIDEOS WITH MONEY COMMENTS, like if marketing and quality were related. It is easy to talk but not to debate, this is a channel of a music critic expert, not Billboard magazine, go back to Mj videos to praise blindly with numbers, stop harassing people who have opinions.
Beat It > Death Grips
In Orlando they have a radio station dedicated to christian rap and it is hilarious. No joke one of the songs started out with "sometimes I swear it's hard to be righteous and ratchet at the same time"
Stevie Wonder said that “if MJ was the King of Pop, then Prince was the Emperor.”
Prince was objectively the greatest of all time in modern popular music. Regardless of how much you personally like him. Quite simply, he could do everything all the other "greatests of all time" could do. But none of the other "greatests of all time" could everything he could do. Not The Beatles, not James Brown, not Bowie, not MJ. None of them. Whether you like how he did it is subjective, but his abilities surpassed everyone else's. So, there.
I’m sorry, NOT The Beatles?! NOT Bowie?! Not Michael Jackson, the man who’s album got all black artists to get played on MTV alongside white rock and pop artists?
@SwingRiots PREACH!!! 💜☔️💜
@@_PuppetMaster86 Nope. As I said in the post, Prince's singular abilities outstripped them all. He could do everything they could do to a world class standard, but absolutely nobody could do everything he could do. That's just a fact. That's not to take away from any of the other artists, and it doesn't mean he was necessarily the very best at each individual thing, and it doesn't mean he is to everyone's tastes, but the objective standard he did it all at is unprecedented. I'm happy to demonstrate specifics on the understanding that objectivity means that our personal like and dislike of individual projects is irrelevant. He did literally everything a modern artist could feasibly do.
(Also, Michael broke down MTV barriers because of pressure from the label. That doesn't take away from the achievement, but pointing that out implies he did it through sheer talent. He didn't. And even if he did, that doesn't impact on anything I said in the slightest.)
