respect77;4170268 said:You expressed the view that you prefer Prince's vocals, to which you got a few opinions that disagreed with you and now you act like you are a victim and being "attacked". You do that very often - and maybe on Prince.org as well - have you thought about whether that is the reason why you get the type of reactions you do on both forums?
Expressing views that we are not as impressed with Prince's vocals as you are is not an "attack" on you and not any more an "attack" on Prince than you saying things like MJ couldn't touch Prince vocally.
I have all the songs you listed and heard them numerous times. I am just less impressed by those vocals than you are - at least in comparation to MJ's vocals. But I do like Prince and I expressed that several times on this forum so your assumption of "anti Prince bias" is laughable. I may have a pro-MJ bias but "anti Prince"? C'mon. This simply means that overall I am more impressed by MJ as an artist thus I prefer him to Prince. That doesn't mean I hate Prince. Those aren't the only two extremes. To consider MJ a better vocalist and artist is not an "attack" - especially when you (and GGVVGGCC22331122) instigated this boring MJ vs. Prince thing again by saying MJ "pales in comparation to Prince". When you say such things on an MJ forum don't you think that people might genuinely disagree with that? And that is not an "attack" on either you or Prince. Don't be childish. It seems to me that when people disagree with you you love to play victim and act like you are being "attacked" for your opinion. When people simply express a different opinion. That's all. That's not any more an "attack" than your initial opinion is.
I didn't say he only sang about sex, I said this:
That doesn't mean "only" - that means often. MJ simply had different themes and pet topics.
Respect, I never, in any of my comments, ever said that I favored either one of these two great artists over the other; I have no such preference, nor any so-called “bias” in favor of one and against the other. All along, my personal opinion has been - and, it still is - that both Michael AND Prince were equal, and are to be, or they should have been, considered as such. They were on equal footing, so, one was no “greater,” or “lesser,” than the other. They each had their own unique ways and styles of singing, no matter what they were, in whichever genre or about whatever subject matter and/or topics to write and sing their lyrics. I may have helped to start a discussion (and, do own up to my part in it, by even asking what I thought was a good question, to get an honest answer), but, there is absolutely NO “favoritism,” nor any “bias” or preference for one over the other, on my part. They each were 180-degrees different from one another, yet they were equal, as far as their level of skills, talents and musical abilities.
