I agree with you to a point that Prince was really the only one who could pull off his fashion style. However, it wasn't that nobody tried or thought they could pull off his style Cuz, many did try by dressing to the nine's like Prince, along with the fashion styles other music artists were wearing back in the day, my friend's. In relation to Prince there was a clothing store in most malls called the Merry Go Round in the '80's. And in '84/'85 the store exclusively carried the clothing collection made by Prince named "Purple Wear." If I remember right the store sold the complete black outfit Prince wore in the movie Purple Rain on his motorcycle with Apollonia. They also sold the white ruffled button down shirt as well as his iconic purple velvet studded long coat. Prince was no different than a few other music artists fashion styles people wore back in the '80's. Like the red plethora zipper jacket MJ wore or his rhinestone glove & socks. Not to mention all the dude's who looked like chicks that used more hair spray then most girls. And let's not forget all the girls in HS who tried their hardest to imitate & look like either Madonna or Pat Benatar. We definitely rolled in a different way back then compared to now for sure. Just saying... ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friends++ 🤘😜🤘

@@maryanndavis8284 Well, I wasn’t sure so I looked it up. I was kind of shocked. Prince came up with the music & sent it to Stevie Nicks to write the lyrics because it was supposed to be a country song at first. Stevie Nicks said she was so overwhelmed by the music that she didn’t feel she could write lyrics. So Prince played it at the end of a practice session & 19yo Wendy picked up a guitar & plucked a few chords & that’s how the current version originated. Prince is credited with the lyrics while Wendy is credited with the opening chords & setting the original tone for the song. I tried to get that from several sources. I haven’t seen the movie in a couple of decades but I believe the 2 females were given credit in the movie for writing the song. Thanks for the reply. I enjoy learning new things.

I am going to address the elephant in the room. Aside from being a huge Prince fan due to his musical genius, I appreciate the fact that this man genuinely loved women, could wear makeup and still get any woman in the room and never had any impropriety or scandal follow him around despite being openly a very sexual human being. Prince was secure in physical appearance, his talent and manhood and it showed. Prince wrote all his own music and very often played every instrument on his songs, which in and of itself is phenomenal. The comparison between Prince and MJ is the epitome of apples and oranges.

The issue of Prince vs MJ was mostly that MJ's music was more palatible to kids, whereas Prince mostly made music for himself and by extension it was more for the adults than kids, for whom the music went over their heads figuratively-speaking. I think if you look at both as an adult, the answer is clear, but childhood nostalgia is a powerful thing. I'll never forget being at a roller rink watching Thriller for the first time on a small movie-theater style screen while we all rolled around on the rink. But at the same time, as an adult, it's pretty obvious that Prince is the best. As Stevie Wonder said: "If Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, then Prince is the Emperor."

anti-michael prince fans say the darndest things. I'm a fan of both and both have a variety of sounds that can appeal to many different listeners. to categorize mj's music as 'for children' is ridiculous on its face. many tracks explore very adult themes. a more accurate take: michael jackson had closer to universal appeal (literally global), whereas prince's music is for a smaller audience -- many of them musicians themselves.

@bertpayne3004 7 ай бұрын

I think someone already kinda mentioned this, but the guitar solo you are talking about is from the 2004 Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony performance of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", in tribute to George Harrison, who was being posthumously inducted as a solo artist that year. Prince was also being inducted that same year. And yes, it was a great, mind-blowing solo for sure, but - and take this from a Prince fan of over 40 years, who was lucky enough to see him in concert 5 times - he played solos equal to, and far more impressive than that one, night after night, in arenas all around the world, for 35+ years. Even at rehearsals and soundchecks. He could play that kind of solo in his sleep. Talent and music flowed from him like water. It looked effortless, although it would be a disservice to him to call it that, because he spent countless hours (and his entire life, really) honing his craft And, while I understand the instinct to compare Prince and Michael Jackson, it really makes no sense. Other than them both being African-American and having the commercial peaks of their careers around the same time, they have hardly anything in common, musically or otherwise. This is not a slight to MJ in any way, but Prince was a serious, overwhelmingly talented musician in just about every way you can imagine. Michael Jackson was a performer. An amazingly gifted one, to be sure, but it's beyond comparing apples to oranges, it's more like comparing apples to lightsabers. Not much in common. Keep digging into Prince's catalog - you have much to discover!

You guys did the right thing. Asking for others opinions. Just because that question has been asked a MILLION times. And for those commenting on Michael’s “ Sexual Scandal”. This question isn’t about “ scandals” that followed either of them. Some people, mostly MJ fans, react harshly, or with lots of anger when that’s brought up. They also then point a finger at Prince, and throw his sexuality into faces of MJ critics. The FACTS are MJ was considered to be the “ King of Pop/rock”. And Prince was considered to be a “ Musical Genius”. My own opinion, being a HUGE ACDC FAN, is Prince was more than a musical genius. He was a musical Prodigy. Who spent his life acquiring knowledge of music, and mastering more than 25 instruments. I think they both died horribly early. And both had so much more to give. So how bout we just end the “ Who’s greater” question and just love them equally for what they both left the world. Princes sex life has no part in what he gave us, and MJ’s sex and personal life does not either. They are just weapons to be used by people who hate instead of love. So don’t be haters, learn to love more. Appreciate what each artist brought to the people who loved them!! And still do to this very day! That’s the gift they gave us. USE IT!!💙

Prince was overall much more talented than Michael, he played 20+ instruemtns, had an incredible voice, could dance his ass off, produced his music and others, wrote all his songs and many other hits for other stars...he was a true, multi-talented legend. For the style, he was always different but we saw that he could pull off anything and look amazing in it. This look of his is my favorite. Saw the Purple Rain shows twice, phenomenal.

Prince came across as more than a little weird earlier in his career, when he cross-dressed and sang more or less exclusively about sex, in a hyper-sexualised way. But by Purple Rain, (and the album before it), he had switched it up and presented himself and the band as a cutting edge New Wave band, at least in terms of fashion. Meaning yes, they looked very cool at the time. He was aiming for an MJ-sized crossover and reached it with Purple Rain - the movie and the album. (Then he quickly abandoned it and did whatever he felt like for the rest of his career). This is a scene towards the end of the movie, and I think you have to watch it to fully appreciate the powerful effect this song had on the audience. As a semi-autobiographical rock’n’roll movie it still holds up - it’s how Prince was finally presented to households all over the world. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed - the live show scenes alone are worth the price of admission.

Prince and MJ shouldn't be compared. They were two different artists with different agendas. MJ's goal was always sales. If he had an album sell 10 million copies, he wanted the next one to sell 15 million. That makes sense when you consider that Barry Gordy, who was first and foremost a businessman, was his mentor. MJ would wait 3 to 5 years between albums. He did this because he wanted to build anticipation which would inevitably result in more sales. Prince's goal was always his music and his artistic expression. This makes sense when you consider that his father was a jazz pianist and his mother was a lounge singer. He wanted to get his music out there as soon as he created it. This can be seen in the fact that he released 39 studio albums in a 38 year career, and some of those were double and triple albums. He also wrote and composed several albums for other artists. Yes, sales were important to him, but only in so much as they provided enough money to allow him to continue to make music. He knew some of his albums wouldn't sell as well, but he went where the inspiration took him. This is why he has an acoustic album (The Truth) and a 4 song jazz instrumental album (N.E.W.S.).

(He's RIGHT "up there" as one of the greatest one EVER !!) I truly believe that Prince DID as PRINCE wanted...and was way more independant when it came to his musical career...and what i MEAN by that is...He didn't ever want to be MANAGED or controlled...I guess because he insisted on being HIMSELF in every way possible...and being SO super talented, gifted and unique,I feel that Prince just never needed or wanted ANY kind of control being in anyone's hands BUT his own but i never felt that way about MJ..I feel like HE heavily and readily needed managing and have support...I think MJ more than deserved his status being a SUPERSTAR, but nowhere remotely close to being as talented, giifted and bespoke as Prince...I will be eternally grateful to BOTH, who are now in Heaven, for the legacy they left down here on this Gods' Earth...Great reaction..So thankyou & much respect from me to you both.🪖🫂🙏.

Besides ALL the music for the movie Purple Rain, he also performed most, if not all the music for the movie "Batman" starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger. Prince always had a thing for the color purple and his attire was questionable to say the least, but blended well with the type of person he was. It's like.... once you get to know him, you forget about what he's wearing because it's just "him". Prince and the revolution later became just "Prince", and then later he changed his name to a symbol and called it "He". May I interst you in a reaction to a Finnish band named Nightwish?

You should watch his Superbowl halftime show. The one time it has ever rained and it was for Prince. My favorite all time halftime performance. This part of the movie really caught you up with his music.

This is from the movie Purple Rain. For which Prince won an academy award for Original Score. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance you are referring to was when he played at the induction of George Harrison and the song was While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Glad some younguns can appreciate his weird genius. My uncle insisted I learned 60s and 70s rock, and played in a minor band..but was known locally where he lived. My parents gave me the earlier. I have such an appreciation for that. How it's effected me is profound. Your parents raised you right. Subscribed. But I expect more of this. Rock on, fellas.

Back in the early 80’s there was a “New Romantic” vibe where the ruffle shirt worked, for some. Prince, Adam Ant, Duran Duran, a few could pull it off. It took balls and we loved them for it.

I was a little girl around 9 or 10 when this movie came out. I remember sneaking to watch it because it wasn't appropriate for kids, and that's when I first discovered and fell absolutely IN LOVE with Prince!!

The first half of the song is amazing.... but it’s the 2nd half with the instrumental outtro that sends it into the STRATOSPHERE, what a song

I went to Prince's Purple Rain concert & he was simply AMAZING, he'll always be one of my ALL time favorite! He was a genius musician (wrote ALL of his OWN music) & he's a LEGEND! He could play every instrument with ease & y'all need to go watch the movie Purple Rain (you'll not be disappointed). He had his own style whic was brilliant. Because I'm such a HUGE fan of Prince, I went to the movie to see it at least 8 times & then watched it over & over again when it came on cable. I've watched it over 30 something times & I'll STILL watch til this day whenever it comes on. ITS A MUST SEE! 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

As much as media liked to pit MJ and Prince against each other - and they both enjoyed the competition - it’s like apples and oranges for me. MJ wanted to be the greatest pop star of all time, and he achieved it, through prodigious talent and hard work. Prince was more like the ultimate musician, the complete package: Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, arranger, producer, bandleader, businessman, innovator, advocate for artist’s rights. Throughout his career he nurtured protegés and talented musicians he came across. The man lived and breathed music 24/7. They operated in different disciplines, and became the GOAT in their respective field. Michael was all about pop. Prince was all about music as a whole. Michael was an obsessed stickler for detail. Prince famously wanted to record as fast as possible and move on to the next one. (And it shows in the volume of their output). In some ways they were of course very similar: They both inhabited the music they created in a way very few are able to. And to state the obvious, they were both black artists who yearned and succeeded to cross over in record-breaking ways. In a time when that was still unheard of. After both had passed, it was revealed that they were a lot friendlier than was publicly known - they apparently even hung out sometimes. Also, remember that although they were the same age, Prince would have grown up listening to Jackson 5… Which one you prefer though, is obviously up to you. There’s no correct answer to that one.

This was from the film Purple Rain (it is what the film basically leads up to.) If you want to see an astounding guitar solo by him check out his cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps (and yes w/love to see your reaction to that with Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Steve Winwood). I don't want to sound like a "hater" but in answer to your question of who we like better (him or mj) - my vote is for Prince. He taught himself how to play the guitar when he was a child.

MJ was in music business since and famous in his 5 years of age Prince was started as known not famous at his 18th. Prince surpassed MJ in 1984-1985. So who did the most difficult thing to reach the top. its Prince. No further comments do the maths

I just came across your videos & I'm loving them. Purple Rain was a phenomenon, he released the album in June '84, the full length motion picture by the same name was released in July '84, shortly after they announced the Purple Rain Tour scheduled from Nov.'84 thru May'85. I was a junior in highschool, my friend & I were huge prince fans. I was lucky enough to buy 2 tickets to the March 20th concert in Kansas City Missouri which was quite an ordeal, there was no internet nore were there ticket apps. I called the ticket office from time the opened till they closed for three days before I got someone to answer & I freaked out that I got 2 tickets. Unfortunately Prince &/or the band were going thru something and cancelled the rest of the tour starting in Feb.'85 so we didn't get to see him. The Movie is descent and like most of his albums it was a work of genius. I have seen't all your Prince vids yet but you should check out his Dirty Mind album from 1980 followed by Controversy in 1981 then the 1999 album came out in 1982 followed by Purple Rain 1984. He was quite the trailblazer, he played all the instruments, composed, produced and recorded his 1st album in his basement. The instrumental complexity of Dirt Mind alone blew me away. He was truly a musical genius. It's nice to find others that apriceate his work, keep on making content ❤ By the way, his Dirty Mind era costumes did cause quite a stir, he hadn't made a name for himself yet & was wearing super sexualized outfits, still iconic.

I get why people want to believe there needs to be an MJ vs. Prince war decades later, but it really was possible to be a HUGE fan of both at the same time. I saw MJ in concert for the first time when I was 4 years old (he was 12-13 in the Jackson 5), and then a few more times through the 70’s and early 80’s. I saw Prince the first time at 16 (and got my first contact high; my ears were also ringing for two days after that show lol). I had front row center seats at Dodger Stadium for the Jackson's Victory Tour (I caught the shirt MJ ripped off Randy when he threw it into the audience; I still have it). And then I saw Prince's Purple Rain concert 6 times about two months later. I also flew home from college in TN to L.A. TWICE to see the last two dates of MJ's Bad Tour (he got sick in November and the shows were rescheduled for January). My point? They certainly were pitted against each other by some people at the time, but those of us who just loved their music and performances never felt the need to choose a favorite… so you don’t have to pick a side either. Just appreciate them both for sharing their unique gifts with the world so that future generations can always enjoy them.

No contest: Prince played all 27 instruments on his debut album. The guy was a musical genius. MJ, on the other and, was a very talented musician and entertainer but not in the same universe.

For real? Okay, here's my take and I've been a Prince friend since 1979. This man was a genius. His resume included singer, songwriter, producer, director, talent scout putting together such bands as vanity 6, Morris Day and the Time etc.. multi- instrumentalist, entertainer, dancer, fashion icon (because with all of his talent he could get away with wearing anything or next to nothing)..and I'm certain I've left something out..Welcome to the tent, the water is fine 💜🙏⚧️☔️🕊🏀👑🎹🎶🎸❤

Singers and musicians based on a true story. Find the Super Bowl where he was halftime show in the pouring rain for real playing his guitar he was known for his clothing style and his high heeled shoes. He only stood like 53. The only time I went to a movie and at the endof purple rain the whole audience gave him a standing ovation!
