what happened with Prince on "Bad"

Quote:
1987 saw the potential for two of pop’s biggest stars coming together to perform a duet. Michael Jackson talked with Prince about performing a duet together for the title track of his new album Bad. Prince liked the idea, seeing as Jackson was his main rival in pop stardom, so he agreed to it. However, Jackson and Prince ended up having creative differences in the lyrics and beats for the song. Finally, Prince left the project when he thought Jackson wasn’t making the song dark enough. Jackson ended up cutting the title track for the album on his own, and it went to number one on the charts[2].

Aaron......

Isn't it terrible how the press just can't tell the whole story???

I was there for a couple of the meetings with Prince and Michael, Quincy and all. Personaly I think that after meeting with Michael, Quincy, Fredy DeMann and his team, Prince realized that he couldn't win this duet/duel with MJ, artistically or other wise... And pulled out... He left the building, so to speak...

As far as I am concerned. I want to say that I love Prince's music...

Before Michael wrote the lyric for "BAD".....

Gearslutz All....

Before Michael wrote the lyric for "BAD", the working title for "BAD" was "PEE"...

Thanks for the reply Bruce

Makes sense to me, the room would have been full to the top with talent, really no room for what I would call the most complete recording/performing artist in modern music.

thanks again
