Prince No Fan Of Versus Michael Jackson Parties
Prince No Fan Of Versus Michael Jackson Parties
Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on June 10th, 2010 by drfunkenberry
Dj Spinna is bringing his Prince and Michael Jackson party to Los Angeles this Friday for Soul Slam L.A. at the echoplex and then San Francisco this Saturday and although the music and fun will be the same, one thing is different and it’s because of Prince.
For 5 years running, it was called Prince versus Michael Jackson but Prince let it be known he does not like the whole versus thing with MJ no longer being here.
DJ Spinna said “I met Prince and we spoke about this whole versus thing and he’s not a big fan of the idea of it being ‘versus.”
“After Michael’s death we decided to call the party Prince and Michael … because it’s not really fair.”
“I think people are more keen to hearing his music and celebrating it even more. I can feel the energy in the room every time I play his music … way more than before.”
Prince has never attended the parties but one of his DJ’s Rashida Robinson has DJ’d them in the past and perhaps that is how Spinna was able to talk to the Purple One about his feelings on this.
Spinna knows just what he would play for Prince if he did show up; “I think if he actually showed up I would have to get a little deep and go beyond the pop hits. He’s a real musician … he’s real serious about his craft,”
“Maybe if it’s a cut that everyone doesn’t necessarily know off-hand, I would do it for him, just to let him know that I know what time it is.”
“She’s Always In My Hair” would go over quite well with him Spinna. Trust me.
If you are planning on attending the Soul Slam event in Los Angeles, go HERE or San Francisco, go HERE. Soul Slam is usually in high demand and should be more so since these are the first Soul Slam events on the West Coast since Michael’s untimely passing last June.
I will be at the Los Angeles one this Friday. Always looking forward to good music and this should be cool.-Dr.FB

Yes, that's my take as well. In 1999 Prince said the following about Mike:
"Michael's not a fighter, he's a lover. Let me say something. I've never really spoke publicly about Michael. We should all just kind of like chill because its, you know... He may know something none of us really know. Let's wait and see, let's wait it out, let's just wait it out, you never know, right? You just never know. Ultimately we all gotta come back home, so just let us make a home for everybody."
Would Prince say something like that if they had such rivalry? I don't think so.
In my opinion the whole "Prince and Michael Jackson hate each other's guts" thing is just media crap. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they both fed it to the media.
Could have been media crap, just as you said, Mo.
They both have their own fanbase and are/were very famous - both of them. So actually there was no need to fight.
Anyway, I'd love to go t oall of these parties!!! But isn't it sad how Prince points out that Michael is gone? <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
They're great aren't they?! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Here's the tabloid article you mentioned in your post:
Michael is better
If it is true ..... <!-- s
Smells like a good mediastunt from Prince and Michael <!-- s
He was supposed to do the We Are The World and he didnt show up. QJ was beyond pissed off LOL. But i dont think Michael cared one way or another. He didnt hold a grudge i dont think
Well, Prince is Prince and that's why I like him. I wouldn't want him to be like Michael although I adore ma Mike. I'm sure he had his reasons and he also explained why he didn't show up in an interview. At 1:06:

And remember that it wasn't just Michael the media targeted, they also write stories to support THEIR image created for Prince. Btw this is a sweet and genuine interview.
I personally dont care for Prince but that is just me!
And you are entitled to your own opinion of course <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> Just want people to question everything that is said/written about Prince just like the way we question everything said about Michael, that's all. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> .
