First Michael Jackson and now Prince. I waited three days but neither one of them got up.
Both were entertaining but I don't consider "beat boxing" to be playing anything and the reality of it is that Prince was a superbly talented musician and Jackson wasn't.
Haha!!!
And..... Newsflash.... The Toyota Camry is the best selling and most popular affordable sedan in America.... And it's a boring, appliance on wheels. What does that tell ya?
MJ was just an entertainer, Prince was the real musican
Thanks for pointing this out. This is what I've tell my pro-MJ friends for decades. First off, MJ only got his lofty preach because CBS Records threatened MTV they would take all their artists off the channel if they didn't play him. Then, showing his Thriller video ad nauseam over and over, every half hour. Until they produce MJ zombie fans. Who only wanted MJ every day, all the time.
The truth is Prince was the first to be showcased by MTV, before Jackson. "Off The Wall" is a far superior record than Thriller. Prince produced more music in a year, than MJ produced in a decade. Prince was pioneering music forward, while MJ was being a reckless loon.
When MJ died, I shed no tears. When Prince died, I felt like I lost a little bit of me. I'm still in shock.
