The Rainbow Children
Ronny Bhadra
In 1987 he released his greatest "sign of the times'
while MJ released the weak BAD.
In 1991 Prince put out 'Diamonds and Pearls" while MJ put out the Dangerous.
In 1995 Prince released the awsome "The gold experience' while MJ put out
the crappy "HIStory'.
This year Prince put out one of his greatest musical offerings in 'the
rainbow chilren' while MJ pretends
to be INVINCIBLE.
Digitally invincible .
he hee. !
Now remember children... when I say good, I don't mean good selling. THose
are two diff. things even though MJ fans don't understand that .

Brandy's Birth was a mistake
guy who had a hit song about 20 years ago.???? thanks for reminding us....
funny how every prince album you mentioned that coincided with an MJ
release - MJ's album sold at least 5-10 times more. so what is the
comparison for? and the reality is Prince put out an album almost every
single year sometimes more than one a year so what is the point of that lame
comparison? He totally lost most peoples interest in him because he
saturated and inundated the market with stuff. there isn't much value when
ever time you turn around there is a new prince album - where is the
excitement?
SPEAKING OF WHICH - where is prince's 20 or 30 year anniversary? here is a
hint: THERE ISN'T> cuz no one cares and no one will watch.

So don't listen to the CD I don't care either way. There was no reason for
that reply you spouted of with. No hostility was in my post & none was
intended. My only intention was to interject that whatever your own personal
opinion of either artist. Prince's new CD was worth a listen.
By the way stupid & retarded in the same sentence isn't very effective. How
about pulling out a Thesuarus.

Of course Prince's album will not make the same impact sales wise. Please,
he no longer has a major company with marketing departments all over the
world 'selling' the album for him.
No distractions, just the music and that's why it sounds so damn creative.

Listen dude, i understand where you're coming from, i too have a lot of love
for Prince, in his hey day. But dissing Michael to praise Prince, is old.
Both men are pioneers for differing reasons. Pop is a discipline, the corner
stone of which, is to be heard by the masses. If you're as passionate as
Michael is about the genre of pop, then sales become a viable measure of how
good you are at your craft.
You talk about Michael's music appealing to 'Spears and Sync' fans, and in as
much as they represent the next generation of listeners, that maybe true, but
part of Michael job is to continue to enthuse the next generation with his music,
and in the process leave them worth while morsels of love, hope and inspiration.
If your not reaching the next generation, then you can be sure some other
influence is reaching them. Prince on the other hand continues to speak only
to his generation, which if you think about it, is a much easier task. Ultimately
Prince is preaching to the converted few, and not showing Michael's ambition
of reaching the broader masses, the next generation of listeners.
When Prince produces another 'Alphabet Street' and gets his voice heard by
the many, then i'll consider prince again to be the master of his craft. Until
then Prince has relegated himself to that of an acquired taste. A flavour for the
connoisseur, reaching the pallets of the few, without creating a lasting influence.
You mention Spears and Sync, but these are acts heavily influenced by Michael,
Where are the armies of Prince wannabes, the people who through their dance
and song, says im with him.
As for prince being 'ahead of his time', i'll agree prince has the capacity
to run rings around today's generation, both as a musician and a producer, but
like a lot of people, he closed my ears after Sign, when he started producing
songs?? like 'Cream' and 'Pope'.... enough said!

Why creating music if nobody buy the disc for listening it ?
NO ONE
album. Sure, Prince will probably only sell 500,000 copies of the album (which
seems to be his average in the last 5 years), but he will make as much money as
MJ would selling 2 million albums.
For Prince, all that is important is being #1 at the bank. Besides he owns his
masters (I think MJ does too, but MJ has Epic Records still which means he is
still not free).
To quote the new song from Prince from NPG Ahdio Show 9 "Why u givin' people
what they want when u ought to give them what they need...if it's popular it
ain't FREE"
NO ONE
>hint: THERE ISN'T> cuz no one cares and no one will watch.
>waaa haa haaa!
This happens 2 b Prince's 23rd year in the business. Besides, Michael wouldn't
have had a 30th year celebration if he hadn't put it together himself. Too,
Michael has released the same amount of work in 30 years that Prince has in 23.
Prince has many unreleased jams on the shelf that he wrote and performed
himself. Michael only records to make an album, Prince records to create.
There is a DIFFERENCE
NO ONE
million albums? I can tell u it wasn't the majority of the profits. Sony got
that.

one little bad review in my news papers saying how it is over hyped... I

Then another paper I read they were on the front page! Then yesterday they
have a Prince review for his new album, and it's positive.
I really think people have to get over this "hype" crap. Nobody even knows
Michael has an album out! It's not hyped!

HoneyBear
Alicia Keys has been trying to ride on Prince's coat tails, too. Ms.
Keys talks about Prince in every interview she gives and performs a
cover of a Prince song on her album and in live performances. Moving
on to Michael, I believe that one of the main things that is hurting
MJ's career is the perception that he has not grown as an artist. He
has been in the music industry for more than 30 years and yet MJ still
seems to be trying too hard attract the teen audience. I mean what is
the point of a 43-year-old man who is a show business veteran working
so much with N'Sync? Britney? Usher?
AGrugan
Michael recorded the song What More Could I Give BEFORE the concerts. Prince
could've participated then. He chose not to. What was his excuse there?
Cloudweaver00

Nonsense. As talented as he is, Prince has not had a major hit since the early
90s. All the major record company promotion in the world could not make him a
huge seller because his music just does not have that kind of appeal.

There are two kinds of people in this world:
those who love Michael Jackson and losers.

WMCIG is not a great song.
AGrugan
I've heard WMCIG and it's a wonderful song for a wonderful cause and I have
every intentions of buying it.
But I didn't ask for your opinion on the song. I asked why Prince didn't
participate?
MYopinion
to himself,this year? Of course,it did not get the attention that MJ's
did,but it was basically the same thing in a different package.I'm
pretty sure that Prince will give himself or someone will give him a
Tribute in the very near future. You can bet your pennies,Prince will
have a MAJOR hand in the artist invited,the dialogue that the artist
speak,and the songs that they perform. AS it SHOULD BE. Michael did what
anyone else would do. Any rational or SANE person would know this,but
you trolls are not SANE.You are obsessive,biased morons.

newpowergeneration
I'm both an MJ and Prince fan, and while I think TRC is largely a better
album than Invincible, I'm not gonna come over to a different newsgroup -
especially of such a rival artist - and start shit up. You're pretty level
headed on alt.music.prince. Why come over here and start shit up? We don't
like it when MJ fans come to alt.music.prince and say this kind of stuff.
Grow up.

I agree with most of what you said, but Prince SO DOES NOT own his masters.
Of his new albums, yes, but not of the 1978-1995 portion of his catalogue.

First of allm, I wasn"t talking to you. Secondly, a guy who'd record a tribute
song to help the victims of Septemnber 11, start Heal the World and bring joy
to the lives of sick or dying kids, sounds like a nice guy to me. I'm referring
to Michael Jackson.
Third,, all I wanted to know is why Prince chose to take part in the charity
events for Spet. 11.Instead of a straight answer I get either excuses or double
talk . I'm sorry that his father died but I was undert he impression that
Prince was not at all close with him. As far as the WMCIG show, it lasted well
intot he night so Prince could've easily made an appeance at some point near
the end. The point is he didn't nor did he choose to take part in the song that
was recorded before the concerts. So nbefore you Prince fans start dissing Mike
again, think about the point I just made
AGrugan
In my lasy post I meant to say Chose NOT to take part. That's what I gert for
writing so early in the morning efore my first cup of coffee.
High Way
When Prince donates to charities he usually does it quietly with few if
any press releases. He just made an appearance at the Rhythm & Blues
Foundation, which is a charity that benefits older and retired blues,
soul, and R&B performers who are having medical and financial
difficulties. He has collected thousands of pounds of food for the poor
during food drives at his live shows. He has distributed funding to
schools for the underprivileged and he has a charitable foundation,
Love4OneAnother.
He probably quietly donated to the Sept. 11 relief efforts without
making a big deal about it. Just as Madonna did. Madonna did not
participate in any of the relief concerts or recordings, but she donated
a portion of the proceeds of one of her shows.
