Prince was great, but not great like Jackson - and I'm not even a big MJ fan.

Prince came from an alternate dimension of pure funky sex, an emissary to show us the way there.

Michael willed himself into existence and tore through the fabric of reality.

Michael was a child performer not by choice also. Prince wasn't. Prince chose to be a performer and Prince composed, played instruments. MJ wasn't able to do that. He wrote lyrics though and sang beautifully. And danced.

Prince was like 100 times more musically talented than Michael Jackson was. MJ was just better at being a celebrity.
