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 .
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
@@terrygreene7027 back in the 90s prince told his record company i need more money than Madonna and Michael Jackson because out of the 3 if you lock us in a room im the only one that can come out with a full album
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...
Prince did that and way more, on his first album “for you” he played every single instrument(he could play 27) not to mention every single one of princes songs were written and composed by him. Prince wrote some of the biggest hits for other artists like, nothing compares 2 u, Manic Monday, Love song, the list foes on and on.

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.

Lol
Cee-Lo saying Prince is Shazam but instead of yelling Shazam. He yelled BLOUSES and was blessed by the wizards, Little Richard, Ike Turner, Bo Diddley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chuck Berry.
Prince wasn't trying to compete with Michael, a lot of Prince stuff you couldn't play on the radio he wasn't trying to be popular he was doing him but put both of them in a studio Prince would kill Michael
@@samuellee2108 after MJ finish singing and dancing what else can he do? Absolutely nothing but on the other hand, Prince can do that and every instrument on stage
@@terrenceallen2663 great so prince can play guitar for mike. Prince isn't killing shit in the studio because if MJ creates the melody..and Sings on the track who are they going to remember the guitarist? Please.
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.
Michael Jackson wrote and produced most of his biggest hits so you literally don't even know what you're talking about and I'm sick of people saying this same BS and not even knowing what the fugg they're talking about it's RIDICULOUS and fuggin disrespectful.
@@earlcampbell7953 Michael Jackson wrote and produced a hand full of songs Prince wrote produced twice as many hits and played every single instrument on those hits Prince was a self-made musician writer and producer from the beginning of his carrier to his death no help form a Berry Gordy no help with choreography or help from Quincy jones in musical arrangements. and most importantly unlike Michael Jackson every single live performance was all prince no lip syncing he sang and played over 7 instruments live on stage in all kinds of weather. he produced wrote and conceived the legendary groups like the time, vanity 6, he wrote directed and produced purple rain and the soundtrack for batman. super bowl performance Michaël Jackson lip synced prince all live even Elvis didn't lip sync live performances. as a producer writer director musician and choreographer prince is miles ahead of Michael Jackson all with no help from any one all prince and this is coming from an EWF fan. everyone in the music industry knows this
@@christhompson6010 You typed a whole bunch of NONSENSE, Michael Jackson didn't just write and produce a HAND FULL OF a gat damn thing HE WROTE AND PRODUCED MOST OF HIS BIGGEST HITS LIKE I SAID and those hits are ALL BIGGER THAN PRINCE HITS by the way. This is a FACT I'm not talking out of my azz bruh I KNOW what I'm talking about. Y'all just ASSUME that all he did was sing and moonwalk but THATS NOT ALL HE DID. And don't talk to me about EWF I'm from the South Side Of Chicago where EWF was formed so I know EVERYTHING about EWF bruh I even used to live in the same neighborhood as Ramsey Lewis who got Maurice White started I grew up with some of Ramsey Lewis kids so don't talk about EWF to me like that's supposed to shut me up or something bruh. Prince was a self-contained ball of selfishness and I say that to say just because YOU CAN do everything doesn't mean YOU SHOULD. He made a whole lot of bs music outside of the few masterpieces that would've been BETTER had he collaborated with others so to talk down on MJ just because he wasn't selfish is complete BS bruh. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is from Prince camp and they OUTDID HIS AZZ in HITS, in fact they're in the Top 5 of Producers with the most number one hits in HISTORY, NOT PRINCE and he's the reason they exist but he was so selfish he fired them over some silly azz BS. I LOVE PRINCE but I ain't about to let YOU or nobody else use him to disrespect KING MIKE. I'm having that BS bruh.
@@earlcampbell7953 I typed the truth whether you can accept it or not is up to you. 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 Daniels 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.

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.
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.
Another great interview y’all. Love Ceel Lo. And thank y’all for being professionals and asking questions niggahs really want to hear. And letting the guest answer and converse with y’all.

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:ruclips.net/video/oG_3acrqGA0/видео.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
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
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 🤷🏿♂️
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.
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
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.
preach please🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!! These people clearly don't know what they're talking about, they just like to open their mouths and speak nonsense when they don't have the information at all.
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
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!
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.
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
Out of Michael Jackson and Prince, only one of them had people fainting in the audience. When you answer who that is you'll know which one is the King of pop and which one is the Prince of pop.
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!
@@wandamanning9198 prince is all over the internet with professional musicians around the world praising his performance and taking notes. not happening with MJ
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
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.
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.
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
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... 👑 👑 👑 👑
Michael Jackson was the best entertainer ever and best live performer- Prince was basically a producer and musician hard to compare that Michael Jackson had at least 5 Diamond records which are over 10 million each Prince just had one Diamond record so there ya go
MJ Musical, One (Las Vegas), Thriller in top 200 to this day, Essentials in Top 200 throughout the year, picks up new fans with fans, kids, and grandkids knowing who he is). MJ is a legend. In the same vein: Prince is a legend. Notice that we are the only race that insist that only one can be loved and like. It's MJ or Prince, MJ or Bron, or Pac or Biggie - it's only us and it should stop.
Both Michael and Prince were legends in their own right but Prince could play instruments and Michael didn't but their music is being played all over the world everyday and they were the most talented in their era. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Apples and oranges guys. You can’t put these two artists side by side. It’s not fair. Geniuses in true own area of expertise. You can compare the flavor or golden delicious apple to a Macintosh apple. You can compare the flavor or navel Orange to a mandarin. Dance contest maybe Michael Music creativity contest Prince. Then again that’s putting Prince up against anybody really, not just Michael. Who can you measure musically to Prince?
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.
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.
MJ is without a doubt the King of Pop. Much respect to The Artist Formally Known as Prince but his catalogue is large enough to even be compared to Michael Jackson.
Mike catalogue isn’t his own look at the credits he didn’t wrote produce or come up with his on dance move prince did everything by himself he could go in the studio solo and make a whole album make couldn’t make 1 song by himself that’s what makes prince the 🐐
@@dreedwards6859 Michael Rowe a lot of songs I don't know where people get these information from, He knew all of his melodies all of his harmonies he used his entire body as an instrument as well to Beatbox He could play the drums quite well he started most of his music old-fashioned way with the piano I think you're and he could play the guitar. Michael was running a lot of the Jackson songs quite a bit especially after they left motown you have to remember motown was a machine which is the reason why the jackson's a Michael wanted to leave so they could write their own music. PrinceProduce and played all of his own instruments on his very first tonull albums after thatHe wouldn't develop his own band why do everything when you can get the best Michael did the exact same thing. And they respect to each other very much it is the white media that put them against each other. Rest in paradise to the both of them
@@dreedwards6859 And by the way Mike's catalog goes back to Still town records when they were doing the chitlin circuit he'd been in the business since he was 6 years old Prince didn't really come on the scene until he was 17 with his first album I believe. Is both musical prodigies
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

Prince was Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones rolled into one
Cee-Lo saying Prince is Shazam but instead of yelling Shazam. He yelled BLOUSES and was blessed by the wizards, Little Richard, Ike Turner, Bo Diddley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chuck Berry.
Prince wasn't trying to compete with Michael, a lot of Prince stuff you couldn't play on the radio he wasn't trying to be popular he was doing him but put both of them in a studio Prince would kill Michael
Michael was the human instrument. Put them on the stage mike would kill prince
@@samuellee2108 after MJ finish singing and dancing what else can he do? Absolutely nothing but on the other hand, Prince can do that and every instrument on stage
@@terrenceallen2663 great so prince can play guitar for mike. Prince isn't killing shit in the studio because if MJ creates the melody..and Sings on the track who are they going to remember the guitarist? Please.
@@samuellee2108 Performing is all MJ got 😭🤣Prince washes him musically.
@@aj8331 he can't make better albums or music then MJ..acting like mike can't write his own music wrong..Prince ego..allowed him to do everything..
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.
Michael Jackson wrote and produced most of his biggest hits so you literally don't even know what you're talking about and I'm sick of people saying this same BS and not even knowing what the fugg they're talking about it's RIDICULOUS and fuggin disrespectful.
@@earlcampbell7953 Michael Jackson wrote and produced a hand full of songs Prince wrote produced twice as many hits and played every single instrument on those hits Prince was a self-made musician writer and producer from the beginning of his carrier to his death no help form a Berry Gordy no help with choreography or help from Quincy jones in musical arrangements. and most importantly unlike Michael Jackson every single live performance was all prince no lip syncing he sang and played over 7 instruments live on stage in all kinds of weather. he produced wrote and conceived the legendary groups like the time, vanity 6, he wrote directed and produced purple rain and the soundtrack for batman. super bowl performance Michaël Jackson lip synced prince all live even Elvis didn't lip sync live performances. as a producer writer director musician and choreographer prince is miles ahead of Michael Jackson all with no help from any one all prince and this is coming from an EWF fan. everyone in the music industry knows this
@@christhompson6010 You typed a whole bunch of NONSENSE, Michael Jackson didn't just write and produce a HAND FULL OF a gat damn thing HE WROTE AND PRODUCED MOST OF HIS BIGGEST HITS LIKE I SAID and those hits are ALL BIGGER THAN PRINCE HITS by the way. This is a FACT I'm not talking out of my azz bruh I KNOW what I'm talking about. Y'all just ASSUME that all he did was sing and moonwalk but THATS NOT ALL HE DID. And don't talk to me about EWF I'm from the South Side Of Chicago where EWF was formed so I know EVERYTHING about EWF bruh I even used to live in the same neighborhood as Ramsey Lewis who got Maurice White started I grew up with some of Ramsey Lewis kids so don't talk about EWF to me like that's supposed to shut me up or something bruh. Prince was a self-contained ball of selfishness and I say that to say just because YOU CAN do everything doesn't mean YOU SHOULD. He made a whole lot of bs music outside of the few masterpieces that would've been BETTER had he collaborated with others so to talk down on MJ just because he wasn't selfish is complete BS bruh. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is from Prince camp and they OUTDID HIS AZZ in HITS, in fact they're in the Top 5 of Producers with the most number one hits in HISTORY, NOT PRINCE and he's the reason they exist but he was so selfish he fired them over some silly azz BS. I LOVE PRINCE but I ain't about to let YOU or nobody else use him to disrespect KING MIKE. I'm having that BS bruh.
@@earlcampbell7953 I typed the truth whether you can accept it or not is up to you. 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 Daniels 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.

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
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.

Another great interview y’all. Love Ceel Lo. And thank y’all for being professionals and asking questions niggahs really want to hear. And letting the guest answer and converse with y’all.
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.

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:ruclips.net/video/oG_3acrqGA0/видео.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.💯💯💯💯
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
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✌🏿
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.
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
Why are we still compare to Michael Jackson and Prince they both the a musical genius and we need to keep it that way
I agree with him about Prince! Prince is truly a GENIUS! UNDEBATABLE! His musicianship is out of this world.
Teddy Riley also said this about Prince on his IG live recently and he worked with M.J. Facts are Facts.
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.
preach please🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!! These people clearly don't know what they're talking about, they just like to open their mouths and speak nonsense when they don't have the information at all.
Lmfaoooo, “Micheal Jackson bout nine feet tall y’all!!!” 😂😂😂😂
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

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.
Cee Lo - you are spot on about Prince and his legacy. Prince is the true artist.
I agree with the Prince take
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
In other words Put Some Respect on Cee Lo name.
Prince will see you now 😂😭
Hey, we are allowed to have a favourite. Mine is MJ👑👍💯.
Out of Michael Jackson and Prince, only one of them had people fainting in the audience. When you answer who that is you'll know which one is the King of pop and which one is the Prince of pop.
Prince wasn’t a pop artist, he was a straight artist. Like comparing a ballerina to a painter.
Only one was a musician and thee only talented one. Only one gave females orgasms.
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 ?
This is 2023 please tell me how many people are still talking of Prince like MJ. How Many people still sing prince songs

Both men were supreme musically. Mike on the other remains unfuckable. Had mfs fainting, moonwalking, jerry curls and poplocking stop the comparisons.
They both were perfectionists,now what you gonna say about that!
PRINCE performing your song during a show! Wow!
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.
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

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
I like them both
Never forget when Mike had a whole army of men body guarding him

Michael Jackson was the best entertainer ever and best live performer- Prince was basically a producer and musician hard to compare that Michael Jackson had at least 5 Diamond records which are over 10 million each Prince just had one Diamond record so there ya go
Hope this title is a lie. Prince who? Prince Akeem?
MJ Musical, One (Las Vegas), Thriller in top 200 to this day, Essentials in Top 200 throughout the year, picks up new fans with fans, kids, and grandkids knowing who he is). MJ is a legend. In the same vein: Prince is a legend. Notice that we are the only race that insist that only one can be loved and like. It's MJ or Prince, MJ or Bron, or Pac or Biggie - it's only us and it should stop.
Both Michael and Prince were legends in their own right but Prince could play instruments and Michael didn't but their music is being played all over the world everyday and they were the most talented in their era. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Such an amazing conversation, enriched my spirit
B High, maaaan keep up the Good Work, I enjoy the show, and you actually let the guest tell their side of the story.

What folks fail to realize is that prince and Michael is in 2 different lanes.
both geniuses
Definitely two different but nah son...Prince was a genius....best of the two. Periot. To each his own though.
Obviously I don’t know shit about music to make that statement .

Apples and oranges guys. You can’t put these two artists side by side. It’s not fair. Geniuses in true own area of expertise. You can compare the flavor or golden delicious apple to a Macintosh apple. You can compare the flavor or navel Orange to a mandarin.

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.
Michael Jackson all day

Selling more does not constitute who’s better. Ask true musicians and you will find out who is better.
MJ is without a doubt the King of Pop. Much respect to The Artist Formally Known as Prince but his catalogue is large enough to even be compared to Michael Jackson.
