Childhood is when you idolize Michael Jackson. Adulthood is when you realize Prince makes more sense.

I remember as a kid I didn't know what to make of prince but I still liked his music anyway. I think to an extent I still feel that way but realize he was a great writer. Michael Jackson was truly on his own plane of existence though.

MJ still had far better production, though.

This. Prince had an absolute mastery over songwriting, but he didn't have the energetic dense production that MJ had.
The system was better than both of them.

Prince really was the better songwriter though.

Exactly.

Certainly more prolific, but nothing he ever wrote came close to Billie Jean ironically enough.
Michael Jackson could never write a love song as poignant as The Beautiful Ones!
MJ was an amazing showman but musically Prince is way better imo

prince like 2to3 good songs, michael like 20+ good songs.
No competition.
Pssssh nothing personal kid.
