Bailey Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Although I think its too early to try it, the local radio station did a battle of the legends, and put MJ up against Prince, and had callers call in and comment weigh in with their thoughts. Questions ranged from who had the better perm, to who dressed better. Most catergories Prince won overwhelmingly, but at the end of the vote tally, MJ won the show down overall by a narrow lead. Folks respect both artists but people aren't prepared to say Prince was bigger than MJ because he wasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSimba Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 While I don't really like comparisons because they each had different strengths, I've always preferred MJ personally. They're both my two favorite male artists though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It's too hard for me, nostalgia and based off of the body of work MJ, but talent wise and artistry wise and image wise it's Prince. Prince made it hard though because with SO many albums, of the 38, roughly about 20 I can name off the top of my head, of that 20 around 10-15 I actually REALLY love, thus there's more filler there than with MJ unless you include the J5 Legacy (which I don't, MJ's solo is enough). And though I've loved Prince for many years, I grew up on MJ, and Prince has never been my #1 (MJ & Whitney have)............I hate this comparison though, tooo damn different, both speak to a different side to me. But I think what makes artists like Janet & Bruno artists I fall hard for is they have the makings of both of them and in Janet's case I feel like it's made better music than both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Prince since MJ wore a wigI was gonna say neither since Prince had an afro for awhile until he died and yes MJ wore a wig with no hair on his body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Im positive Prince wore a few sew in's & lace fronts in his time. Hair wise I'm for both & Rick James & George Clinton, I loves when black men step out of the typical 6-8 black men hairstyles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
