Prince on His Rivalry with Michael Jackson! Candidly In His Own Words | the detail.

What people don't understand about being competitive is you can be a rival to someone but also have a friendship and a mutual respect for one another

I'm glad to live in a world where Michael jackson and Prince existed, both were great.

Moral of the story : Give people their flowers when they're alive. R.I.P. Both of them. The world isn't the same without them.

Michael? James Brown? And Prince? On one stage??? Man I wish I was there. What a time to be alive 😩

MJ and Prince was the soundtrack of my youth. I truly miss them both immensely.

Two incredibly talented artists who unfortunately passed away far too soon, but what they did for the music industry will live forever

I never understood how there could be a rivalry. They were both very different kinds of artists. Both absolute legends in their own rights.

That is so profound to me. Prince and Michael stayed so quiet about their relationship the whole time, only showing what they wanted us to see. They had complete control over how the world perceived them two together. It seems like that’s how they best connected…through rivalry or competition. That was probably the way they showed respect to one another. They are fucking geniuses man!!!! The ending almost put me to tears. I had no idea any of this happened!

Music is not the same without these two!

"Why was Prince playing the bass in my face?" Gets me every time.😂

Michael will always be the King of Pop. Prince will always be Prince, in a league of his own.

Prince embraced his imperfection as an artist. Michael was a perfectionist and a master of his craft.

There is no comparison of the two. They both have different music. They are both legends.

You can’t compare the two. But you can’t ignore the fact that Prince could play any instrument you put in front of him and did it all literally

The men were friends, stage/artist rivals and had a deep respect for each other. They were sparing partners - each inspired the other to reach greater heights. My love is for both. 💖💜💔

Wow, the ending touched my soul, I am literally in tears, Who would've thought, I'm so happy to have grown up in the era of two musical geniuses. The reality of this is Prince actually admired Michael and wanted to achieve the same level of success. I truly believe that all the antics were to simply gain Michael undivided attention as to say hay, I'm great too! The media were the real villains who inaugurated this so called beef between the two, both Michael and Prince were ahead of their time and true pioneers in the game, surely there will never be another as they both were in a league of their own! Now they're both in Heaven making beautiful music together! May both their souls R.I.P❤🥲🕊

Prince saying "It's our journey and not something for a non-musical person to compare and say it's not as good as..." is spot on. These two were just creating the best art they could conceive at the time, there really is no comparison.

Mike & Prince are two completely different people, musically and literally

These two were equally phenomenal and privately had great respect for each other as super talents...period. NOW we only have their interviews, video's, movies and incredible songs to remember them by. Let's NEVER forget what gifts they gave to us all throughout the year's. ❤

Michael Jackson knew how to respect others and never belittled others
