Walked into work the other morning and this battle was going on.
Mj was a better entertainer and appealed to a wider audience. BUT someone else was writing his music while prince is an incredible musician.
I take prince for his musicianship and influence on other artists.

MJ's music is sooooo much better.

Writing: Prince wrote all his own material. MJ didn't write. He did have several co writing credits but no one would argue the fact that Prince was a prolific writer.
Musicianship: Prince played every instrument on every album. MJ has been credited with playing some percussion.
Producing: Prince produced his own material from day one. MJ never produced his own material, depending on Quincy Jones and his staff of world class musicians.
Performing: Toss up.

Prince was a better musician but Michael made better music. You put a greatest hits record together for both artists and Michael wins in a landslide.

As an artist and musician there's not much of a debate, Prince with ease.
Overall body of work? Tougher call.

Agreed. Prince was a total musician. Both were talented but Prince was an awesome writer and mastered most instruments and didnt diddle kids.

I think prince was a better musical talent and michael was more of an entertainer.

MJ (just barely) and only because I have been really into his music since I was very young.
I first seriously listened to Prince in 2003 when his "Musicology" album came out. Over the next couple years I really dove into his catalog and was blown away with some of his music.
It bums me out that we are referring to both in the past tense.

never got to see either live, but I don't know I think a Prince show would be more fun

Prince was a better musician but there's no doubt that Michael Jackson was a bigger star.

MJ has better songs and is the first music I loved.
More talented, Prince. Could do it all.

Prince, easily. MJ was just pop friendly dance music, with R&B influences. Also, MJ was more about the performance than the music. Only a handful of songs had any substance (Man in the Mirror remains my favorite song of his).
Prince was primarily a rock musician, with some dance influences. He pioneered a new kind of funk. And that battle was during my formative years - 1999, Thriller and Purple Rain were all my high school years. To quote Chris Rock, "Prince won."

Prince by default, but as others have said, he was much more talented.
