Prince had Jokes and Respect for Michael Jackson - Told by Cat

[@davidclarencescott1935]

One thing I observed is that Prince seemed to pick on everyone he liked. If he didn't like you, he wouldn't f#@k with you at all. I think they played up the "rivalry" a bit too, for publicity.

[@benscr]

Michael Jackson did the same thing with people he liked. Both MJ and Prince are practically jokers!

[@steveowensjr8957]

I agree with you brotha. Prince aint saying shit if he dont know ya. Prince was a very intelligent person

[@iceberg1560]

As always

[@benscr]

ReXrig G R Glad you mentioned that!!! ....as Michael Jackson sure was intelligent, as noted by both Quincy Jones and Donald Trump (who said MJ was a very smart businessman) and a number of other people.

[@godscreation8147]

Came from Detroit was at Paisley. Prince was Dj'ing had an issue with Boyfriend I threw a drink got put out, friends plead my case with him. He allowed me back in I was supposed to apologize to him but he made it difficult n cracked a big smile n chuckled guess I was ok by him.... R.I.P 💜

Prince‘s reaction when Michael died is all one really needs to know to understand how he really felt about Mike as a talent and gifted artist.

[@nazfar6700]

Mike isn’t dead

[@pinkcashmeres]

Naz Far Girl, what? Shut the hell up.

[@nernatbentley3778]

Dr George Taylor III, Yeah..., I’m sure some of the reactions Prince had after learning of Michael’s death, was wrapped in Guilt. Listen to what Cat said during this Podcast. Even SHE felt Prince was occasionally mean towards Michael although, Michael was kind towards Prince and his group. Michael wanted Prince to participate (with the group of Singers) on the ‘We Are The World’ song.., Prince declined! Michael would later approach Prince to participate with him on his song “Bad”..., Prince declined! Michael recognized Prince’s talent and, wanted to work with the Man. But, Prince only saw..., “Competition!!” Even Chris Tucker shares a story of Prince being mean towards Michael...,when they (along with Will.i.am) were seated front row at a Prince Concert. Yeah...., I’m sure Prince felt a little guilty for mistreating Michael when he was alive.

[@kashkredit]

@@nazfar6700 u gorgeous 😏

[@drgeorgetayloriii4280]

I feel you. Prince in his heart knew Mike was a once in a lifetime entertainer. About a quarter of his book shouts out Mike in some way. I was surprised he was so honest in The Beautiful Ones. Also, he was determined not to be the Robin to Mike’s Batman. I am glad he came to grips with how he felt about Mike. Prince could be mean - we know that. Yet I also get his determination not be second when in his heart he felt he was equal in his specific lane. What I do appreciate is how he stood up quietly among his inner circle for Mike when he was down. Prince could be a paradox and this was especially true when it came to Mike. They both are so successful in death. Mike stays in the Top 200 - Thriller and Essentials - and Prince moves physical units like crazy.

[@cherubimbean8320]

"Michael Jackson and Prince had mutual RESPECT for each other." I LOVE hearing that.

[@NewChannel9000]

Great comment, @Cherubim Bean!!! I _TOTALLY_ and wholeheartedly agree with what you’re saying, here. Neither do I believe these ignorant, stupid stories of a so-called “rivalry” between them, of an intense hatred of each other, of Prince supposedly having been “mean” to Michael and/or any member of his family, of him having been a “jerk,” or even _WORSE_ than that, to other people* (*as other posters use profane language and derogatory names for what some people wrongly _ASSUME_ about Prince’s attitude and overall personality, which I won’t use), and so forth. Nothing could have been any further from _THE_ FACT that they really loved and respected each other, at the end of the day. They were, and should be remembered as, musically-talented _EQUALS_ who just so happened to have been complete 180-degree polar opposites, as far as their public images and personae were concerned. One was no “better” or “worse,” no “greater than” or “lesser than” the other. Di≠erent, yes, but equal. To use an old expression, “two sides of the same coin,” in a very _real_ sense, but still should be thought of as equals. They each turned out to have had a whole _LOT_ more things in common with one another than neither the public, nor the media, would have ever known.

[@Thespeedrap]

Miss both of them the music industry is dead without them and hasn't been good ever since.

[@NewChannel9000]

I _TOTALLY_ agree with you, on this, @@Thespeedrap!!! But, actually, you _could_ say it started to very slowly and gradually “dying” in the 1990’s, immediately after 1989, because, in the last 30 years at least, the industry had completely changed, fewer and fewer people who were coming out with their very first songs (or, album-releases) had any real, genuine TALENT, and a person’s image/personae became a lot more important than his or her musical ability. And, the rise in popularity of “ ‘Gangster’ Rap”/“Hip-Hop” contributed to this as well. Michael and Prince were both very much alive, back then, but were no longer at the height of their Early- to Mid-1980’s success. Not to mention that they would both go through tremendous changes in their lives as well, during that first phase of their “post-’80’s” period. However, in spite of these changes in their lives (along with the changes in the music business, and the ever-increasing acceptance of mediocrity -- the phenomenon of so-called “celebrities” who were and are “famous for being famous,” either because of whom they were related to or what “newsworthy event” their family members were/are connected with* [*such as, in the example of the Kardashians/Jenners, during the 2000’s and 2010’s] -- over authentic musical skills, even at that time), their music was, and it _still_ is, great. Today, except for a very few _really_ talented people in the “Jazz,” “R&B”/“Soul” and “Neo-Soul” genres (and a lot of the older-generation artists left who are still around, many of whom at their age _continue_ to perform and record, which is a VERY GOOD thing), the industry -- particularly, when it has to do with “non-‘Classical’ ” popular music -- is pretty much “dead and gone,” now.

And Prince was actually close to the Jackson family. When Prince first was signed, he would spend time at Hayvenhurst and go skating with the family, and develop a crush on Latoya.

Prince almost knocked the light down on stage and Mike had a clip of that and would show people he was close to and be laughing and talking about him. I think Prince and Michael were just very competitive but has mutual respect but would clown each other sometimes. Kinda like how Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali were. In front of the cameras didn’t acknowledge each other but off camera spoke met up sometimes and just had respect deep down for each other. Even Latoya in her younger years said she would chill with Prince and his people in the 80s.

Prince loved the cameras when he wanted to be filmed. The thing is he wanted to be in control of every aspect of his life and he refused to be used by anyone, especially Jackson's film crew. That's why he was a mess when Jackson "invited" him on stage in front of James Brown. I guess he saw this as a trap. And in a way, it was. We all know Jackson could be a very good manipulator.

Michael was singing and making major hits as a child and sounded like a mature adult in his style and delivery, and Prince was at home watching,and teaching himself how to be a entertainer like, M.J. Yes price is a great artist, but Michael is the king of pop because of his great talent and hits. And the masses agree.

[@Ayobami001]

This picture looks like it could go down at any second with these two. Prince looks like he's like, "What you want to do?" and Michale, right back at him like, "Well what you wanna do?". Classic photo, I've never seen this pic. Thanks.

Prince is my bro, but album sales don't lie MJ was the King of all times, and Prince knew that. ✨💜💙✨

[@hangingwithbigjohn8401]

Album sales don't necessarily reflect talent and skill set. Mike is the man but Prince is self contained...played 23 instruments, composed, produced and arranged his own music! You could leave Prince in a studio alone and a few weeks later have a complete album! I mean a lot of intangibles go into someone's talent not just album sales. A lot of cheesy shit has went Platinum! But Mike was bad, but like Prince said his greatest hit to me was still his Off the Wall album!

[@chrisgowers8094]

Listen to the song Too Bad by michael Jackson. Sounds like prince did vocals with MJ on the chorus. And it also sounds like like it has Prince's blueprint all over it. It is said that Prince visited MJ in the studio when he was working on the album that the song is on and assisted with this particular song on the low.

[@NewChannel9000]

Where do you get these stories from, @Chris Gowers? I don’t believe they’re true, really. But, the idea of Prince ever having assisted Michael with the recording of _ANY_ song of his (or, with the two of them even remotely involved in ever having worked on the same project together AT ALL) seems interesting to think about....IF it were a reality, though. This is something new, here.

[@chrisgowers8094]

@@NewChannel9000 insider information. Sorry you don't have any and sorry you can't tell a Prince sound when you here it..

[@NewChannel9000]

@@chrisgowers8094, Of course, I certainly know what Prince’s music and vocal style sound like; I am one of _THE_ DEEPEST fans of his music, particularly, since the 1984 film and its soundtrack, “Purple Rain.” In fact, ever since, I have and will ALWAYS consider them as having been EQUALS in their musical talent, though their images and how they presented themselves to the public (the clothes they wore, the overall subject matter of the lyrics to their songs, the way most people perceived them in general) were absolute 180-degree polar opposites of one another. So, how could I _NOT_ know what Prince’s music sounds like? What I mean, is that I don’t hear anything even remotely sounding like “Prince” in most songs that Michael had ever worked on,* not even in the song, “2BAD,” unless you heard something I didn’t hear and couldn’t detect in the slightest. If there ever was a “Prince”-like sound to any music associated with Michael, this was because he may have been _influenced BY_ what Prince was doing at one point, musically, at some time during the 1990’s -- and, he probably had people associated with him who, at one time, also worked with Prince as well, _before_ joining his back-up band -- rather than any direct involvement in their ever having worked with each other. (*The closest to such musical and lyrical influence probably being the song, “She Got It,” in some way or another, one of those which was almost going to be on his “Dangerous” album, I’d give you _that_ one. But, even in this case, the song was more of the _influence_ of Prince’s musical and lyrical style on Michael at that time, rather than the both of them having worked directly with one another on a particular project together, or Prince otherwise having been involved with Michael as far as actual songs, albums, lyrics, or anything else music-related.) Michael had his own individual style, and so did Prince. They were two separate, _unique_ artists in their own right, who just so happened to have a lot in common with one another when it came to a lot of things, including their talent. I see them as having been “two sides of the same coin,” so to speak. Equal in many, many ways and respects, but yet, they were complete opposites. While it is well-known that Michael’s band members played the Prince song, “It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night,” during an intermission-break while performing onstage at the “ ‘BAD’ World Tour,” and Prince paid tribute to Michael and his music since Michael’s passing -- at least, on some nine different occasions, or so, especially during his own LIVE shows (my most favorite of such tributes being his remix/mash-up of Michael’s “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” with the song he wrote for The Time, “Cool,” with wonderful Female vocalists having sung in Michael’s Upper Register, and Prince’s great “call-and-response” segment towards the end) -- to my and most people’s knowledge, they NEVER, EVER worked with each other on any project, as great an _idea_ as that might have been. It’s something that, honestly, many of us would have LOVED for it to have happened (myself, included), but it never did.
