FIRST TIME HEARING Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana REACTION

[@Summermute7]

“Who was bigger, MJ or Prince?” Michael. No question. I’m a Prince girl in my heart, but the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson probably will never be repeated. He was clearly the biggest star in the world. The hype was indescribable.

[@berta.9912]

And madonna is the onley one that's still alive !

[@AC-mp7cx]

yeah idk why they have to bring Prince up. It's not kind to MJ cuz its disrespectful, and then its not kind to Prince to have to live up to being the most famous artist ever. Prince has to be enjoyed in his own light. MJ was literally the most famous thing to happen

[@AC-mp7cx]

like prince wasnt even CLOSE in terms of fame, the beatles and elvis weren't close tbh, but a bit closer in their heyday. MJ is more famous globally though

[@jk4675]

@@AC-mp7cx beatles were definitely as big as as MJ. Beatlemania set the precedent

[@djoetma]

@@jk4675 Beatles were huge and looking at the fact that they were only active for 10 years is telling. However, they were definitely not on the level of MJ in terms of fame. When you see those old images, you see mostly young girls. Guys liked them too, but not as widely and openly. MJ spoke to a way broader audience in terms of age, race, gender.

Princess Di pulled MJ away from the line saying she wanted to talk to him. She asked if he was going to do Dirty Diana tonight. He said, "No, no. I took it out of the show out of respect for you."

[@billhowe5921]

One of MJ’s greatest songs filled deep with meaning, emotion, dishonesty, lack of self-control, and manipulative behavior. This song is so well rounded it’s definitely worth dissecting stanza by stanza, line by line, word by word, and inflection by inflection to get a meaning, understanding, and appreciation of, “not only the song,” but Dirty Diana, herself. Her name alone screams volumes. As a high school English teacher, this is how I taught my students to appreciate poetry, through song lyrics, because they are poetry set to music.

[@marlew6629]

[@catwhisperer9489]

I LOVE that idea, Bill!!! 💡

[@janecarbone1504]

@Bill Howe that is such a great way to teach English. I always used to love to read and write. One teacher stands out in my mind our music teacher who I took both music theory and music history with. He used to get the New York times and make us all look in the entertainment section and he explained the plays and everything and that was the best way for students who didn't already know any music theory or history become interested. Then he would give us a 20 page paper to write and he was teaching writing too. Thank you and thank my music teacher and thank all the teachers that we had over the years that were really great teachers and great innovators.

he is the one and only..... I love him, loved him growing up and thinking how a man can be handsome and talented genius

[@cindyduncan7049]

This is one of my favorites of his!

[@juliansuarez8809]

Michael Jackson and Prince were two excellent musical artists in own right. Both gave their greatness, passion, emotion, creativity for the world to enjoy forever!!

When we're talking about whos the biggest artist ever, it shouldn't even be a discussion. likes its done

[@nicolebailey4426]

You can like both but MJ was global. He was inspired by the groupies that went after his brother's (this song) When he died the internet had stopped sorry Farrah he had died and took away your admirers. Prince was a legend in his own right he was very musical and good performance s live. He seems shy he was smart to stay in Minneapolis.

There is no doubt that his musical talent was just outta this world. Even as a child in the Jackson Five, he was outstanding. I feel he is so much more than Prince.imo

[@harryrob8221]

Who tf is Prince compared to MJ? MJ is the greatest artist that ever lived. Prince wasn't even that well known around the world.

[@ncexnyc4466]

To each his own. I'll take the Purple One as he wrote his own songs and provided numerous hit songs to other artists as well.

[@oemisc2880]

@@ncexnyc4466 Writing all your songs doesn’t mean all are good, js. But MJ wrote & composed many of his, including Dirty Diana. He’s in the Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame for a reason

[@debrap947]

Prince and MJ were both gifted, creative, musical geniuses...as much as I love Prince, MJ was hands down more out there and accepted. Too much talent from both of them for the world to handle!

[@tonjaallen4369]

I watched Michael Jackson grow up on tv. His life was amazing and sad. His musical abilities are above reproach, a first class artist.

[@yodhin79]

MJ is the greatest entertainer in human history, period.

[@jilliansmaniotto2326]

this is FULL-STOP my favorite MJ song. such a kickass rock vibe.

[@karicastanza5216]

This is an excellent song by MJ! Another great song by him is "Human Nature". Of course, anything by him is amazing!.

I absolutely LOVE this song, but Ms. Amber wins the award for THE BEST chair dancing on this one! Girlfriend was IN THE ZONE! As far as who was more popular, MJ was probably more recognized worldwide. His music was more pop and PG oriented, whereas Prince was the bad boy of a combination of rock, soul and funk, far edgier and appealing more to the R and sometimes X-rated crowd with his lyrics, pushing the boundaries and exuding sexuality. It all boils down to a matter of taste. Both great performers, songwriters, singers, but Prince actually played and mastered a multitude of instruments. IMHO, Michael Jackson was BAD, but Prince was a genius!

[@oemisc2880]

Prince flaunted whereas MJ teased. MJ drove people crazy for a reason, including straight men lol. MJ songs aren’t always as “straight-laced” as people think either, just not explicit. Many of his songs are actually dark in theme like this Dirty Diana, This Place Hotel, Morphine, Little Susie, even Billie Jean. He was a great storyteller. He also liked to play w/ words & let people give their own meaning eg Leave Me Alone. MJ also started trends, & set the bar others try to aim for., in many aspects. Beyond genius, he was a visionary!

[@piperpearson7454]

I whole heartedly agree with you. Michael Jackson was undeniably GREAT! But Prince was a True GENIUS!!! Not only was he was prolific song writer but he could play practically every musical instrument imaginable!

[@oemisc2880]

@@piperpearson7454 Playing instruments is a dime a dozen, so many people in the world can do that. MJ was not only great & a genius himself, but also a visionary who influenced artistry in many aspects not just music.

[@andrealovelace7251]

lets not forget that MJ has been HUGE almost his whole Life!....I love Prince also! but Prince was 19 before he got signed, Both Michael and Prince are Wonderful Artist I myself dont think he was "Better" than MJ, he actually probably learned a lot from MJ

[@dang2226]

Born in 74, Im so glad i grew up in the 70s 80s 90!!!! Had a chance to listen to all the Greats!!! Elvis And Michael was just right at the Top!!!! And i lived his documentary, since the 80s and i bought my first cassette Thriller in downtown calgary canada!!! STILL have it😊, and this Dirty Diana rocked it!!! MJ the best, but also loved Prince!

[@Carnakr1]

Sounds like a hair metal song. Michael loved some electric guitar! He loved that power rock sound!

[@yuvonnemoore5466]

So many MJ songs that I love I cannot even come close to a favorite, but Dirty Diana is certainly up there. Would love for you to go polar opposite with him next time maybe and listen to Human Nature, his voice is so perfect and clear and amazing in that song and the music is so good too. One of the most beautiful songs ever (according to me anyway 😊). Any song of Michael’s is alright with me tho!
