Just wanted to add that I agree w/CHERIE. Although Prince is my fav. I respect Michael as a talented performer and the King of Pop and they always had mutual respect for one another and probably inspired and challenged each other. I know one of Michael's collaborators (the producer of THIS IS IT) stated that Michael once told him that he could not postpone ideas because he didn't want to risk Prince beating him to the punch. Also in an interview Prince stated that Michael originally wanted BAD to be a duet with Prince but Prince declined. Anyway, it's obvious that Michael had much respect for Prince and I'm sure vice versa.
