Have you heard that Prince has recently divorced his wife...and she was fine too.
I guess Salma Hayek must've split them up. A friend of mine emailed this quote from Prince when his current video which was directed by Salma herself: '"Salma heard the song and came up with the original concept," Prince said. "Salma is the most thoughtful, attentive director I have ever worked with. An absolute joy."' Hmm, methinks Salma and His Purpleness have sweated up some bedsheets.

Ain't Salma too old for Prince?  You know, I can picture him trying to get next to the lead PussyCat Doll, Nicole. She looks like his type. *********************************** “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.†-- James Baldwin |

You certainly don't have to stop at Usher as far as those who've copped MJ's moves. How about Justin Timberlake, Omarion and Chris Brown? They may have added their own twists to it, but they are all heavily influenced by MJ's dancing. Be a giant or grain of sand/Words of wisdom: YES I CAN!

I remember the Prince vs Michael hype... I remember when Prince won his first award at the Minnesota Music Awards; he said, "The reason I said I don't care to win awards in DMSR was because I wasn't up for any".
 I remember back then that Farrakhan told Black women they shouldn't listen to Prince because he was making them "fall in love with themselves". Meanwhile, he heaped praise on Michael. Although I never met Michael, I actually met a much different person than what people see in the media, when I've spoken to Prince. I do wonder though, what do they talk about between themselves, and how they deal with these kinds of divisions. Michael garnered the ire of those in power, when he began to use his money to support "bad negroes". I wonder if the same will happen with Prince, as he grows more politically conscious? |

Trust me, Dissident. ALL of us miss the old Michael Jackson. A friend of mine once said that if he died after winning Grammies for "Thriller," he would've been an iconic posthumous legend like James Dean or Elvis.

Micheal Jackson is horribly over rated. Prince on the other hand is an artist. He writes, pruduces and plays music. Micheal sings others songs.
Plus his songs are dumb, I'm "Bad" , what is that, "Beat It" more garbage not to mention Micheal is a nigger and a disgrace to the race. |

I guess Prince was originally supposed to play Wesley Snipes' role in the "Bad" video. He declined because the first line of the song is "Your butt is mine..." and he said, "Mike wasn't singin' that to me... and I definately wasn't singin' that to him". |

I hear ya, Huey. Thriller was the beginning of the end for Michael. If Michael's style and lyrics could have remained similar to his Off The Wall album for a few more years he just could have been that iconic figure most thought he was going to be. I was disappointed with Thriller. It was too pop tart for my taste. I knew at that time this was the route Michael was going to take. And the Bad album. Yeah, it was bad alright. So bad I didn't bother buying that garbage. This was about the time I began to dislike Michael. I wish I knew what happened to this guy. ================ A race of people is like an individual man: until it uses it's own talent, takes pride in it's own history, expresses it's own culture, affirms it's own selfhood, it can never fulfill itself.

MJ jumped the shark!  As I mentioned upthread, I was a huge Prince fan. But, my fandom began to wain when "Purple Rain" came out. I got on the bangwagon (okay, maybe the bandwagon was half-full) c. 1977/78 but by the time PR blew up, everybody was trying to "take a bite of [Prince's] purple rock." *********************************** “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.†-- James Baldwin |

One thing's for sure: If you put them alone in separate studios, each studio having the exact same instruments and equipment, and require each of them to write, perform, and produce his own songs, Prince would come out with much better and much more interesting music.
