- Shannon Sharpe sits down with Akon to discuss the musical greatness of Michael Jackson and Prince. Akon shares his experience working with Michael Jackson: “Out of all the people I worked with, Mike was the easiest. He believed in what I did and wanted me to coach him. It felt like a real collaboration.” Akon also expressed sadness by not getting an opportunity to work with Prince. When asked about Prince, Akon said: “Prince was different because he’s a writer & producer. But I promise you he would’ve been locked in if he heard the music I had for him.”

Who would win a Michael Jackson vs. Prince hit-for-hit Verzuz battle? 🤔
Michael hands down. He has the most hits, but prince plays the most instruments.
Michael Jackson is the GOAT he wins easy
Prince if he cracks open the vault!
Mike easy
Prince.
Mike can stand in one spot for 10 minutes won’t move a muscle have the crowd passing out just doing that lmao
you would think people would have reacted the same to prince he was more unique and musically talented than any artist 😂
That just tells you about the type people we are. I need substance and not just standing there.
@@MichaelSevilla97scarstic?
Michael was a game changer for dance choreography and spectacle. Prince was a game changer for overall musical production. It's like comparing hardware and software. Very different but equally important
wow true
prince was great musically but lets be honest, his influence is very low-key, the masses don't care
@@AC-mp7cx yeah you might have a point no man was wearing booty shoots like prince lol everybody wanted to be Michael with his leather thriller jacket
Yh because Michael didn't compose Billie Jean
@@quicktingz2097 he wrote it bro
I love how highly Akon speaks on Michael
they were like best friends
He worked with him
Any artist who into music will have no choice but to respect michael, he is phenomenal one in 100years kinda artist
@@sakurakou2009 facts
Anybody who knew Michael close would speak highly because thats the type of person he is, the TOTAL opposite the media tried to portray him as
Many people don't know this about Mike but the way he was writing his songs he recorded it as beatbox first and he layered all the instruments with his mouth (again beatbox but this time melodicly). Everything he heard in his head he projected it through beatbox, which is the only artist to do so.
We've seen the videos. He was good at beat boxing
@@NicotineRosberg Okay Nico, when is your next race?
I wouldn't go as far as to say he was the only artist that wrote that way. Bobby McFerrin comes to mind. Biggest artist to do it? Definitely
Prince was a musical architect, scientist, engineer in that he created his music from the initial concept in his mind to the finished product (instrumentation, arrangements, vocals….everything) Through his talent, experimentation and thousands of hours of hard work he created his own unique musical expression. In my opinion, no one, and I include the classical musicians, compare favorably to Prince. I consider Michael the greatest too in terms of being an entertainer, performer and visionary. The two should never be compared, they are totally different.
Let's not forget he could play basketball too
Maybe a young Stevie Wonder but other than him you are correct.
I agree and I wish people would stop comparing the two
The funny thing is , you could change Prince’s name to Michael in your comment and it would still be valid. People don’t give Michael his props because he couldn’t play as many instruments but the fact is he was a better writer, made bigger hits, had better albums, better dancer, and was in a different stratosphere vocally. Prince never came close to having an Off The Wall never mind a Thriller.
Only two good songs?
Mike was a bad man he had people passing out just standing still mike had songs that made you laugh and cry he had a heart for the world and he wasn’t appreciated
You are missed Mr Jackson
I’m telling you man he was truly a blessing to this world🙏🏽
@@UFunnyLowe Preach
Who cares everyone has their own opinion about him I don't care if others were passing out
Michael was simply on a whole different planet he had grown men "crying and passing" out aswell a women, how many other artists can claim that victory?? Still waiting!! 😭🙌🏽💫💜🙇🏽♂️🎯🌍
@@mikellclark635 the point is that prince didn't have that effect on people
Mike never forgot what happened to his people and pointed his finger at the powers that be. I wonder how Akon feels about that. The real ones know what I'm talking about. 🙏🏾
Michael Jackson is the GOAT OF GOATS!!!
Michael Jackson reaches across race class and culture Universal and International barriers….
with the contribution of tones of $$ by record sales... Prince never cared for money he cared form music innovation...
Breezy IS NOT ON MICHAEL JACKSON LEVEL PERIOD.......
Closest we got doe
DAM PEPSI GENERATION LMAO HARD! 🤣😂😅
Real talk
He said if Chris had the GUIDANCE & THE RIGHT PEOPLE AROUND HIM.....
chris is a super star micheal is a phenom. Micheal impacted the world.
No wrong answer with those two for sure. Rest in peace to both geniuses.
michael has more hits, longer career, started younger, more famous, more influential, better singer, much better dancer, more stage presence , changed the world and music in a much larger way, more awards, sold much more, much better music video
i don't mean to compare him to prince but yeah. Prince had a cool movie! And was a talented producer, instrumentalist. A more niche and local phenom
@@AC-mp7cx 💯✨no more talk,I still dig prince too may they both rip💝
🙄uhh mike had more hits
@@kennytwrld And so what's your point?
@@nr30199 his point is that Michael is better than prince which he is
I get it, Prince is talented and I love the guy. However, Michael was great as a child and great as an adult. His talent saw no bounds. Both were talented.
THANK YOU
@Poetic_Indignation his voice wasn't good as adult so.....
@Poetic_Indignation Michael's evolution in music is simply unbelievable and never ever will be broken 🎶🎩👑
@@mikellclark635 i wonder do you look as dumb as you sound for this idiotic comment 😑😑😑😑
FACTS
I'm a Minneapolis native who now lives in Atlanta. I was at Prince's last concert here at The Fox Theater. You actually didn't have to buy tickets at the box office. You could purchase tickets online. His last concert was just him and Piano on stage and it was absolutely incredible! I've also seen Michael once as a kid and The Jackson's Victory Tour. There truly isn't anyone who rivals them. Prince is my guy though. A true musicians musician!
The question was who’s more talented and it’s Prince, Michael was more famous and a bigger international star. Jimi Hendrix is a rival.
I love them both too
Because a person plays every musical instruments doesn't mean he is more talented, those instruments can be learn by anyone interested .
@@gbogimichael156 person 1 can sing and dance person 2 also sings and dances plus he can play every instrument and write his own lyrics produces and choreographs. Who would you say is more talented person 1 or 2? Michael is a more talented singer and dancer but Prince is the more talented artist.
@@hayskig1226 Michael can't write or produce his own music?
Michael Jackson always ♥️
Just to live in the era to have witness both Mike’s & Prince’s gift is already a huge Blessing …😍✝️😍
Both are goated , wish they made a song together
Almost happened quincy Jones couldn't pull it off because prince was filming under the cherry moon
@@FFROM5726 Michael wanted prince to be on his bad record but prince turned it down
Opus none...
Akon is a great story teller, thank you Shannon.
Why do people always forget that Michael was a composer/Producer aswell? He needed help with playing instruments and running boards but he wrote music aswell as lyrics.
Exactly
@@allthingscreative1631he co-writed stuff with rod temperton, co-produced with quincy Jones... The latter said michael didn't like to share the credit with others musicians. Prince wrote, composed for Madonna, sinead O'connor, the bangles, martika etc...
Because Michael CO-PRODUCED. Don't get it twisted. He had the likes of Bruce, Teddy, Quincy etc, and wouldn't have sounded half as great without them. His raw talent and percussive ability was there, he was the secret sauce, but he could only be a one man army on the stage; song and dance. Not in the studio.
all respect to Michael but the way he tracked out parts is super common, Prince even did that. Prince composed performed and produced songs completely by himself, sometimes in an hour.
@@edit4310 Great take on that. I love both, but in a measure of just talent and skills, I have to give it to Prince based on all he could do musically.
Michael Jackson we love you from bottom of our hearts
Michael Jackson was one of a kind! That dude was unbelievably supertalented!!! He's the only artist to not only make fans hysterical and faint, but he also made other stars act childish in his presence as well! Throngs of fans being airlifted by other fans during his concerts! No one has done these things but Michael Jackson. Prince has never had that kind of control over fans! On top of that, Michael Jackson commanded coverage of dignitaries! His funeral preempted major tv stations around the world, to cover it! All major networks dropped their schedules and was on point covering that man's funeral! I don't know if we'll ever see something like that again!
Absolutely correct Never Be another one ever again Like Mike
As a performer mike as a musician prince dude could play multiple instruments mike never played an intrument
@@brittanywilson9361 Michael could play the piano, but he was an entertainer!
@@brittanywilson9361that doesn’t mean Mike couldn’t. There’s rare footage of him playing the piano. But the thing with Mike is he was humble. I’m sure there’s so much about him we don’t even know about to this day.
@@brittanywilson9361 so what ? playing multiple instruments never made a person the greatest artist
Michael Jackson 🐐
I love when prince fans say he's better just because he plays instruments. Like found something new.🤣🤣🤣
Lol man i swear
And most of these people didn't became prince fans until they heard about his passing....That's just fake entertainment
Dude!!! It's such a tired argument. Randy Jackson played multiple instruments with the Jacksons but no one is saying he was more talented than Michael. And I know several guys who can play multiple instruments (I'm talking drums, piano, guitar, bass etc) because I went to music school in my youth.
@@daryltracy7949 deep
Exactly 😂
No one Would never come close to Michael !!
Yup
To u. Me including others disagree 😂
Perfectly said
@@mikellclark635 Then that’s your opinion because it’s actually true
@@mikellclark635 sorry but no one comes close to Michael. you got worldwide opinion on that
Mike was a great singer but Prince was a complete musician. Mike had more bangers though. It's either or for me; I love both artists.
When Akon said that he understood why there was success. Michael Jackson was easy to work with. Prince and Michael should never be compared. Michael Jackson proved himself when he was a child. Then he took it to another level when he became an adult. Prince was still honing his skills as a child. Talent wise you can't measure that on the fact Michael didn't play a bunch of instruments. Michael in fact said he didn't need too. He knew how to convey his ideas to musicians. He was different than Prince. He was into collaboration Michael. Prince wasn't so into that. I had the pleasure of seeing them both Live in concert many times during their lifetime.
Akon is the type of friend you appreciate from the way he speaks on behalf of Michael
We Africans could give a fair judge of this situation.
In the mid and late seventies, we knew Michael Jackson but never heard of Prince.
Then came to listen and watch both of them in the eights.
Brothers and sisters
Let me tell you that no one can even be close to Michael Jackson's musical intelligence, period.
I can't understand why people are comparing him with anyone else.
bruh wtf are you talking about
PRINCE didn't come out till 77 or 78.....the reason for that ?? He wanted Control of his Music....wanted to Produce & write his own ....Warner Brothers wanted The Leader of EARTH WIND & FIRE to Produce Prince...Prince said NO....
@@jsutigers8954 wow
Fantastic that was
@@AHH677 💯...The guy name was Maurice White.....
@@jsutigers8954
Good to know
Thanks for sharing
These comments are revealing a common misconception, which is that a singer is somehow not a musician. Michael Jackson was the ultimate musician, even though the only instrument he mastered was his voice. If you prefer Prince's music, of course that's a matter of taste, but talent and musical ability can't be measured by the number of instruments you know how to play.
Prince was objectively a better musician than Mike. You can’t argue otherwise.
@@bherbo3943 I can prince was great in his own right. But nobody had what Michael had and nobody will see that again ever
no one can top Michael Jackson ever, he’s a king of music
King of Entertainment!
Yes
prince was the most complete artist of all time...all phases...writing , singing, musicianship, production, distribution, choreography...he had it all covered.......with that being said . both were supremely talented, I love both and am glad to have grown up during their prime in the 80s
Ever heard of Jimi Hendrix?
@@hayskig1226 yeah and ..jimii wasn't a drummer , a bass player a producer , an entertainer...and he couldn't sing as well as prince...he'd be the first to admit that...he hated his singing but did it out of necessity...I think Paul mccartney is the best songwriter ever...but that wasn't what my statement was...I saod most complete...I love hendrix , but he doesn't fall into that criteria
@@michaelfrazia4569 The most complete artist of all time might be Sammy Davis Jr, Prince is up there but I don’t know what every musician could do in the history of music to make a statement like that. I mentioned Jimi because if it wasn’t for him I don’t know if there would be a Prince?
@@hayskig1226 Prince is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME, cut that nonsense out
You keep speaking of Prince based on his talent in his business ethics that does not make you a great artist Stevie Wonder is another artist that you would put in the same category as Prince he played as many instruments as Prince and was a far better writer than Prince you can look at his catalog and tell that I can tell by what you're saying that you are just a fan that listen to music I'm an actual songwriter producer trust me when I tell you Prince was a great talent but there are far more better artists that was more complete than him and I mean no disrespect to his name but the things that some people are saying are really foolish numbers don't lie Prince barely had 5 number one records look at how many number ones Michael have he has passed on and some artist still living haven't caught his number one record yet not even counting worldwide you are delusional
I love MichaelJackson 👑❤️🔥 no hate for prince
Both were legendary talents. Prince was a musician, songwriter and genius composer. That being said, Michael Jackson was also a great musician, as musicianship can also refer to the creation of music in general. Everyone knows that Prince wrote many songs for other artists, and fewer know Michael did the same. Both artists have written, composed, and produced songs that have changed how we view music. Rhythmically and Vocal Harmonization goes to Jackson, who never failed to arrange interesting beats and vocal arrangements. Composition-wise Prince wins, as his knowledge of the instrument itself allowed him to think outside the box more often. Regardless, both should be viewed as fantastic musicians/artists whose skills put them at the top of their profession, they even both admired each other's creativity. The albums Triumph and Love Symbol are my favorite examples of their genius.
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson was a very talented illustrator as well, and we all know Prince was a threat on the court. Both artists have talents we don't even acknowledge often.
Well said
What instruments did Michael play ?
@@Rob-qr2kn he ain’t play often nor was he nearly as good as prince in that department, but he’s been credited with playing synths on Billie Jean, as well as piano on a few other songs. There are also a few videos of him playing chords on the piano so it’s clear he at least knew a lil bit of that.
@@ianh.f3354 he also played guitar on the History album.
@@ianh.f3354 And he was a great painter and actor.
Comparing Michael Jackson to Prince is Oranges and Apples. I mean at 5 this man started working on his professional aspirations with his Brothers. I mean Prince was working on his self for years but didn't get put on until he was 18. Michael Jackson was already full fledge blowned up. Different Careers. Michael said playing instruments is cool. But, its not a requisite. They were both fantastic. Michael Jackson is not to be compared..
Michael at 18 was playing casinos in Vegas with his brothers.
There was no one as gifted & talented as Mike. Not even Prince. There are many who can play multiple instruments, doesn’t mean they’re on MJ’s level.
You buggin…prince produce his own music. Wrote his own music and play all his instrumentals.
Mike is great. But a great singer and dancer.
@@lexdadon Michael wrote and produced his own music
@@evem2841 so explain the thriller album. Quincy jones produced the whole thing..what are you talking about? Google is your friend bro
@@lexdadon No. Michael created the beats. Do your own research. Quincy was like the director, the oversear of the process, like a conductor. But Michael did the composition
others made mike! prince is all prince!!
There is no wrong answer here. Both men are talents that we may never see again.
Yes there is MICHAEL JACKSON WAS KING. PRINCE WAS NOT BETTER THAN ELVIS OR LED ZEPPELIN OR THE BEATLES... MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ON A LEVEL ALONE.
You can't argue prince with his 5 songs is near what MICHAEL JACKSON or ELVIS did.
Michael was a musical god. A master of his art at the peek of his skill. He was simply a paragon.
He’s the greatest artist of all time and it nots even close
Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time.. Prince is the greatest musician of all time.. Whitney Houston is the voice...
Phill Collins was the best musician of that time.
Stevie Wonder enters the room as far as musicianship is concerned! Still like Prince to barely edge him! Barely!

Not musicians, entertainer. He didn’t write many of his hits. Prince wrote and played all the instruments at a master level.. and wrote hits for many others as well.

Prince was a musical Mozart.... but Michael Jackson.. an infant today.. will be captivated by his music.. out of the womb... that's remarkable ❤❤❤❤❤
prince and michael are both amazing in their own ways, they shouldn’t be compared
My heart is big enough to have love for both of them. They were both amazing. Michael was the greatest entertainer who ever lived and God made the perfect musician when he created Prince, the greatest musician who ever lived. Turntable love. Drop the needle on Off The Wall and 1999!
michael has more hits, longer career, started younger, more famous, more influential, better singer, much better dancer, more stage presence , changed the world and music in a much larger way, more awards, sold much more, much better music video
i don't mean to compare him to prince but yeah. Prince had a cool movie! And was a talented producer, instrumentalist. A more niche and local phenom
most people dont know princes stuff
Prince was nowhere near the greatest musician with his dated music!
Prince was simple when it came to Michael Jackson. No comparison. MJ’s dance, voice and music was perfection. Because of the media The United States didn’t get a chance to witness his increasing greatness. Europeans did. MJ’s best concerts were there.
All Michael could do was sing and dance. Prince could do it ALL! He made entire albums all by himself. Michael had to rely on the talents of other producers musicians and song writers
@@kevinhurston1555 The fact that Michael was before prince and is still more relevant than prince today, says a lot about his talent and the impact he had on the world. Michael was a businessman and has an art collection that he created and as for the producers everyone had them, the fact that crazed obsessed prince fans are always trying to put Michael down to put prince up is funny to me. Michael is celebrated by the whole world and little kids who weren’t even alive when he was out. Prince was good, Michael was a beast he didn’t need a single instrument to get the crowd to go wild and crazy, prince wishes he was half the artist Michael was.
Absolutely
🤣
Prince was simple! You must have bumped your head before making that comment. Prince probably is the most talented overall music artist in America history! I would put R Kelly 2nd! The credits for Prince is off the charts and the same for R Kelly! Prince gave people songs that gave them hits.
Michael forever ♥️
There is no comparison to me.... Both of them are the G.O.A.T.💯👍🤘
I am a musician and play multiple instruments. I respect Prince as a musician. However, I respect Michael overall more as a performer, singer, dancer and songwriter. I prefer Michael’s music, songs, videos, etc over Prince. Michael’s music makes me feel different. I have been to concerts of both Michael and Prince. I attended the Bad tour and it was the best concert I have attended. I won tickets to a Prince concert and thank God, I didn’t PAY for those tickets. I did not enjoy the concert at all. People were walking out. The next day the radio DJs we’re talking about how THEY didn’t like concert and really dogged it. The bottomline is about PREFERENCE. I PREFER Michael. It doesn’t matter to me if Prince played 2 or 20 instruments. It doesn’t matter if he wrote some of his songs or all of them I still prefer Michael as a singer, dancer, performer, visual artist, songwriter. I connect to Michael’s music and songs. I don’t do the same with Prince although I respect his talent. Just as I prefer Mozart over Beethoven, Gershwin over Debussy. Both Michael and Prince were TALENTED geniuses in different ways.😎
People walking out on Prince 😭 why
@@Adaobieistyping Perhaps same way his songs are mostly skips for me
Uh, Michael's concerts were increasingly mimed after the Bad tour, and the quality was pretty terrible on the History tour, a view a lot of fans share. Some of the live tracks would have been better mimed though "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" always sounded rough sang live. The breathing was a mess.
Prince always sang live and sounded good doing it, and the concert experience was always varied. Michael was basically always the same.
I'd like to see some evidence of this supposedly poor quality Prince show. Never heard of such a thing existing. Did you make it up?
@@Biozene I guarantee you it’s the usual “ trss me “ bs takes
I completely agree with you. Being able to play multiple instruments is cool and all, but it means nothing if you can’t make good music. People consider John Mayor to be one of the greatest guitarists of our time, but his music is mediocre. And I personally prefer Michael’s music as well. It just clicks for me and I could never get into Prince the same way (I’ve listened to many of his albums, but could never find something that moved me). It could be the opposite for Prince fans.
I'll go so far as to say that being a Master of twenty-seven instruments, one of the Greatest Musicians that ever lived was Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016). BUT Michael Jackson (1958-2009) will ALWAYS be The King.
Kind of crazy how they didn’t get to live full lives. If Michael lived this is, it would’ve happened and he would’ve retired. I don’t know what Prince would’ve done maybe he was going to retire not too sure.
I don't know why people always compare legends with non legends. Michael Jackson is in a class different from any other musician.
Intact his just not a musician, his the best Entertainer that ever leaved.
Michael Jackson is the greatest musical artist all of time!
michael has more hits, longer career, started younger, more famous, more influential, better singer, much better dancer, more stage presence , changed the world and music in a much larger way, more awards, sold much more, much better music video
i don't mean to compare him to prince but yeah. Prince had a cool movie! And was a talented producer, instrumentalist. A more niche and local phenom
Prince was the better musician obviously by far but Michael is the greatest entertainer ever.
Prince is more talented, Michael is just the greater human being.
@@princemakaida3571 Michael was far more talented than Prince.
@@virgilblaze9090 to u. Stop trying to speak for everybody weirdo
he was better at instruments but that didn't translate to success so does it matter
@@AC-mp7cx didn’t translate to success? So prince wasn’t successful?
Michael Jackson and it's not a debate. People give way too much credit to Prince and his production, but his body of work is not on the same level of Michael's. Prince could have benefitted from having more help. My personal opinion.
Thank you you make total sense
Yes,Michael Jackson was another level 🔥 Prince was a good singer too.
Prince's musical work is more creative, broad and artistic. Their music is different. Prince's musical vision is singular. What you heard on record is what Prince heard in his head and transferred straight onto record. So that's why his music was so unique because it was pure. Whether you like his music or not is personal preference but Prince didn't need or want anybody else because it would have diluted the emotion, energy and greatness of his music. His music is a true expression of himself and to me that is success.
@@danielcowan8673 I'll give you the broad aspect of his music. It's the quality that's lacking. There is a difference between the two. Also, to say Michael didn't put his pure self into his music, much of which he wrote, is silly. And please don't go into the "Quincy did it all for him" thing either, because that's false.
BINGO
I get why Prince is praised for his talent. But i just really dont understand why people would compare his voice to Michael’s. Michael had such power, rasp, grit, but the ability to be silky smooth when he wanted. I dont see that in Prince to the same degree
I completely agree there is objectively no comparison in that topic lol
Prince was a musical genius.
Michael was the King of Pop.
Their talents were different.
and prodigious.
King of Pop doesn't cut it. More like Greatest entertainer of the last Century. Cause Mike wasn't only doing Pop, he was versatile. 💯
Mike was Mozart
Prince was Beethoven
Mike was also a musician don't discredit him.
Michael was called a genius by Prince's idols lmao
Michael Jackson will be remembered forever. Today's artists just don't have what it takes to be on that type of level.
As a musician Prince could do more in the technical aspects but for some reason Mike had the better music, Im talking about the tracks he wrote like Billie Jean, Dirty Diana, Wanna be starting something, Dont stop till you get enough it felt like his music was polished, Prince got to a point where alot of his tracks felt rushed
That's your opinion but It doesn't mean it's true
@@angechrisman1694 you right is my opinion I wouldnt mind if you told me what was false about what I said tho
@@jeanpayano1506 he didn't say it was false but better music is completely subjective and no one can really be right or wrong on if like I honestly prefer Prince's music over Michaels
@@baseupp12 I know music is subjective but production is not, me personally I grew up on both thanks to my aunt who is more of a Prince fan but my point is, Prince got to a point where his music was rushed that period was around the time he had the dispute with Warner im not saying he is trash or anything but in terms of quality his catalog is not close to Mike's in terms of quality and hits, Prince back end had alot of fillers
@@angechrisman1694 bro you just said its an opinion so how could it be true or false?
side note: mike clears prince

People don’t see Mike’s process so they don’t realise he was the greatest musical genius of our time, greater than Prince or Stevie.
Prince. He did it all and wrote, produced and composed for my favorite band, The Time.
Ummm Mike wrote, produced, and composed so I think you're wrong on that
@@finderkeeperrrs Prince was a maestro on multiple instruments. Mike did write and compose but he wasn’t doing it at Prince’s level nor could he play instruments at that level. 1999 tour with Vanity 6, Prince and The Time, Prince wrote, composed and produced all the music of the three acts that tour. Mike Jack is dope and was bigger in the pop space no question, but he wasn’t Prince.
@@UNDFTDGordon and prince isn’t Mike. Can’t be compared.
@@UNDFTDGordon Mike was the better writer, singer, dancer and producer, Prince was the better instrumentalist and composer.
@@finderkeeperrrs how he wrong for having his opinion on it? Shut up
@7:25 the crew couldn't hold it in 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Both are the greatest in their own unique way.
Imagine being so famous that you expect to be hung up on because the person on the other end doesn’t believe it’s you
Michael Jackson didnt need no auto tune facts 💯
Michael Jackson and it's really not close I don't understand what there is to debate 🐐
Prince and Michael Jackson the two greatest to ever do it. Lets Enjoy both Artists. I think Mankind will never see this much talent at the same time again.
Why are we debating? It's a simple equation:
Michael Jackson = King
Prince = Prince
They were Both Very Talented. RIP Michael Jackson & Prince. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Shannon is actually a great interviewer or host. Very impressed.. Stay up Shay shay🤙
Y’all acting like Michael couldn’t pick up an instrument if he wanted to. Anyone could be good at playing instruments it’s something you learn. you can’t teach what Michael can do.
Yo that’s a very valid point. Especially considering MJ’s workaholic obsession, he could play whatever instrument if he had really wanted to.
Yes
Facts! What Michael did simply can't be taught. Prince was SKILLED! Michael was TALENTED! Big difference
Deep
Mike was Mozart
Prince was Beethoven
I've gone through quite a few of the comments and I haven't yet seen anyone mention about Michael Jackson's talent with musical instruments, like prince he too played many different musical instruments. Michael play the piano the drums and guitar. Although people didn't see him doing this as much as Prince but he too was gifted in that area. People offend times just focus on his dancing and singing forgetting about Michael was an all around musician. Michael also wrote produced his own music as well. Unmatched talent and very savvy business man. Not taking anything away from Prince, but I think Michael comes out on top. But we lost the some of the greatest musical talent the has ever known. I don't think we will ever see that level of talent again. RIP 🙏
MICHAEL JACKSON, PRICE, WHITNEY HOUSTON, GEORGE MICHAEL, ARETHA FRANKLIN and anyone I may have missed.
In my opinion Prince was the most talented while Mike was more gifted
Prince was more gifted. I guess it depends on what you mean by gifted. Prince was more musically gifted. Mike was a better dancer by a slight amount and a better singer by a slight amount.
@@imwatchinberniemac I guess being gifted and talented can be seen interchangeably. I think Mike's gifted of dance and performance was something you can't teach. While Princes ability to create music needed to be cultivated. Again I can see this perspective interchangeably as well.
@@WaWaWorld Prince's musicality isn't something you could teach either. His music was super creative and unorthodox. You can't go to a music school to become Prince. And yes he worked hard at it to become better technically, but so did Mike with dancing, singing, and everything else he did.
@@imwatchinberniemacLOL DUDE YOU’RE JUST A BIAS BECUASE YOU’RE A PRINCE FAN HAHAHAHA
@@imwatchinberniemac you must be kidding me lmao, so prince is known for his dance moves?😁
Never one doubt Michael Jackson 👑🙏🎶the only best king of music dance humanity of entire world. Thanks Akon 🌎🎶🌻🌟
They're both legends.. PERIOD!
Love this man, he tells it like it is.
Michael Jackson is the greatest Entertainer Ever!
I think Prince is great. But for me Michael Jackson is on a whole nother level. Heck Michael was the first time i ever got interested in music and music videos. From since I was a child to adulthood. There can never be another Michael.
Both were undeniably talented! One was a great entertainer/performer, the other was a great self-taught musical genius!
Prince was musically inclined and "married" to his music! He reportedly spent days and or hours locked in HIS studio. He put so much material out because he lived, breathed and dreamed of... making MUSIC! Not to mention writing songs for other musicians. When you are that talented, you master your craft. You write/compose/arrange/produce music, superfluously!!! His level of creativity always kept him receptive to reinventing, being open- minded and thinking outside the box. Prince went hard at it! He never appeared to be impressed with musical chart rankings, being categorized, criticized and or "put in a box". He came on the scene with thigh-high leg warmers, boots, undergarment and a trench coat. He marched to the beat of his own drum! He was a very unique artist, multi-instrumentalist and THE most influential musician of my time. Having a vault filled with finished and unfinished material speaks in volume, as to how much he mastered his craft and dedicated his life to his profound compilations and compositions. Some dubbed him as 'Mozart of our (modern) time'. All I know is...( IMO) when it comes to Prince, there will NEVER be another, this life time! 🙏
Mozart of Minnesota! 💜💜💜

'OUR' ✊🏿 MOZART 💢‼️ 🎸
Michael was married to his music and his art. He wrote, composed, arranged and produced practically all his music, let alone his visuals and tours. He wrote his songs and other artist's top 10 hits. stop calling Michael "greatest entertainer" to play down his impact, he left a signature in modern music that Prince could never dream of having. Michael is simply the greater talent, meanwhile Prince made the record for the fastest drop in chart history when his songs were kicked off the chart the week after he died. People were simply tired of his outdated music!

Both were great artists and while Prince may be better in the sense that he could play any instrument, many people don’t realize what a great musician Michael was in his own right. If you listen to the original demos that he made for his songs before Quincy Jones even got to them, they sound VERY close to the final versions that Quincy produced. So Michael was definitely no slouch as a musician.
You saying Michael played instruments?
@@thebuttermilkgirlisback He has my goodness this is not news
@@thenotorioushussle5633 where’s the footage? I’ve never seen it…like EVER!
Send a link please.
@@thebuttermilkgirlisback He could play some piano though he probably only knew enough to show other musicians how he wanted it to be played. Not sure if that qualifies as him being a musician though
@@thebuttermilkgirlisback Check the credit on his albums. And search RUclips. There are a few who worked with Mike, talking about it.
I like Prince more but they’re equally talented imo
No one is over Mike stop it
Prince was a great talent but to answer this question with no disrespect to him Michael had (50) hits with the Jackson's before Prince made his first record.
Never mind the fact that "Off the wall" and "Thriller" alone is truly better than all Prince work put together. Respectfully said
Absolutely See the thing Is Michael was an icon already So Prince had to watch him 1st That's why people can't compare
@@jarrettcone8949 people always make the comparison between the two of them I'm a musician a songwriter artist and producer I don't see why people making presents between them they were two totally different types of artists Michael paved the way for urban artists to cross over into pop culture but Prince music wasn't even the same genre as Michael in my opinion I always considered him more of a toss up between Rick James and Jimi Hendrix
Michael Joseph Jackson. Rest in Peace King 👑 ❤
Prince was the embodiment of music and expression. His music wasn't just business as usual but life, you could see him literally living. He was Prince on stage and Prince in the closest, he owned his life. The personality was interlocked with the artist. Dude lived a full life.
Michael on the other hand was the true definition of a public figure, a celebrity, a god among men. He was built for fame, knew how to handle his public image, great entertainer, great performer. He was a great musician to, whatever he did he did it to the best level ever.
With the two of them in heaven, i think heaven is sold out🎉
Michael Jackson of course! No one has ever seen such a talent like that
You can say the same for Prince, once in a lifetime talent
Mike was making the best music in the world at 11 years old. thats undeniable

Prince may have been talented at multiple things...more than Mike anyway....but Mike was superb at everything he did. He was the ultimate perfectionist
PRINCE CAN DO IT ALL AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL !

as much as i love prince i just cant put him above michael jackson
Facts 💯💯
I can
But we’re both not wrong ya know?
Michael Jackson= work ethic, determined,and tough. Prince= talent, versatile and energetic
Micheal was a great entertainer, Prince was great with musical production. Both in their own lanes and both great.
They were two different type of artists. Let them exist seperately in their greatness. Don't compare the two and tear them down.
Michael>>>>>>>>>>>>>everyone
I regret not going to see Prince when he use do the shows at the Essence Festival down in New Orleans & I live in Mississippi. My uncle was like hey boy you going to see Prince I hate not going
Eddie Griffin, Akon and the list is endless. Michael was just universally loved❤
Micheal Jackson. That man performance is amazing one of my favoritesWhen he did that spin moonwalk on stage at the billie Jean live 1984. Holy S***
His 'Man In The Mirror' spins and drop to his knees, does it for me.
