everybody seems to be stuck at "the greatest song of all time" and which artist is beter than the other ...
BUT as far as ARTISTRY is concerned Prince is entirely on another level (not only than MJ but all other artists combined as well) : Discography, Filmography, Outtakes and the Vault, Musical genres, Artistic styles, Visuals, Alter-egos, Virtuosity, Musician groups, Collaborations (and music for others), Concert tours concepts, leadership on stage, Aftershows and Afterparties, One shot performances (sometimes 3 on the same day), Residencies (O2 arena, 3121, etc.) , Websites, Celebrations @PaisleyPark studios , Bootleg Labels, Interviews and TV performances, nah, sorry but the people who try to compare just don't know ... (the Universe he has created around his ART)
MJ remains 4ever UNTOUCHABLE as far as cultural impact is concerned. People tend to compare the 2 artists on the level of number of sales / number of views / hits singles and albums...and on that level MJ is like he said INVINCIBLE.

@SunshineMJ5 As far as planetary cultural impact is concerned, MJ will 4ever be UNTOUCHABLE ! but I have been personally (like many others) far more touched and entertained by the Music of Prince, as his artistry remains lightyears ahead of any Michael that be !
@southair they can argue however much they want but the strike of albums "Dirty Mind / Controversy / 1999 / Purple Rain /ATWIAD/Parade/SOTT/LOVESEXY " in 7 years time is and will remain unprecedented , unchallenged, unparalleled, unrivaled and SOVEREIGN 4EVER
People keeping comparing MJ to P have clearly no good musical knowledge /culture. Prince is simply put lightyears ahead of MJ. As for planetary impact , MJ is simply UNTOUCHABLE, but musically ( music, style, genre, lyrics, diversity, eclectism,etc...) nah...different league entirely...
