If people are wondering what Psychoniff's agenda on this board is, THIS is it. I see this behaviour all the time from insecure Prince fans - putting Michael down as an actual creative artist with control over his music because that's Prince's territory. It's not that complicated.
Those Prince fans are just haters and they KNOW they're lying.
The only thing Prince fans always say is that MJ couldn't play instruments, or that MJ couldn't "write music like Prince".
They try to make it seem like Prince was a genius while belittling Michael to the point of saying that he "couldn't even write music".
Thing is, It's not as if MJ has NEVER wrote a song, we KNOW that MJ was an amazing songwriter.
Infact he was so good that he wrote many of his biggest hits.
That's why MJ was/is the best to ever do it.
Some artist can only sing, some can only dance, some can only write, and some can only play instruments.
Michael was/is a genius that could sing, dance, write, and the way I see it MJ used his voice as an instrument (very few people if any had MJ's VOCAL talent ALONG with being able to dance, it's normally one or the other).
Prince could've been the second coming of Mozart, and he wouldn't have been as big as Michael, it just wasn't going to happen.
No other solo artist in the HIStory of music has reached Michael's level of impact, success, and fame.
And I guess having owned half of the largest publishing company in the world, and owning your own catalogue with your music and the music of other lucrative artist isn't "having creative control of your music". *side eyes*
Some people do anything to discredit Michael, but when it comes to being an ALL AROUND ENTERTAINER Michael has very few if any weakspots.
If you have to tear down another artist to uplift your fave chances are your fave isn't as good as the artist your tearing down.
