Collectively, Prince and Michael Jackson helped define the early-'80s era of MTV, revolutionized both R&B and popular music, and influenced thousands of musicians worldwide. The Prince and Michael Experience is meant to celebrate the music of two of the biggest pop cultural icons of our generation. It is done with love and mutual respect for both artists.

More info at http://www.bombhiphop.com/PvsM.html

The music is far from the only thing happening at this party, there's theme dancing, a face-off between guests repping The Purple One or The King of Pop, and much, much more. This is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and have the time of your life.

"For NINE years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikki's and Dirty Diana's are all welcome to participate." - SF WEEKLY

IT'S the vocal match made in TV heaven - Prince could send The Voice's powerhouse ratings soaring higher if producers nail negotiations for the royal rocker to appear on the show during his Australian tour.

It is believed Prince has been invited to perform a medley of his greatest hits on the Channel 9 juggernaut on May 21, the night before his third Sydney concert.


He kicked off his Welcome 2 Australia tour at Sydney's Allphones Arena last night, thrilling loyal fans with a classic set list that included Purple Rain, When Doves Cry and Raspberry Beret.

Like many of music's biggest names, Prince has embraced opportunities to perform in front of huge television audiences - notably the 2009 finale of American Idol.

The Voice has enjoyed a ratings peak of 4.2 million in Australia, making it attractive for A-list artists keen to court a wide demographic and introduce their music to a younger audience.

It would also help move the remaining tickets for his final shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Team Delta contestants Viktoria Bolonina and Peta Jeffress have already given him a profile, facing off during the Battle Rounds to Purple Rain.

You know those shivers you get down the back of your neck every time you hear the crashing majesty of 'Purple Rain'? Prince feels the same way. "Everybody should experience this song in concert at least once in their lives," he told TheFIX. "No one experience is the same."His Royal Badness plays Sydney's Allphones Arena tonight, the first show of his breathlessly-anticipated Welcome 2 Australia tour. Prince hasn't graced our shores since 2003, and predicts this trip will be "the best" because of the crew he has assembled for the tour.
"These people are sooo much fun!" he enthused.
"We actually enjoy one another's company and it's reflected onstage every night."
Aussie fans are expecting a lengthy set from the pop legend, heavy on his greatest hits. And while the born-again Jehovah's Witness omits the more sexually-charged songs from his live show these days, there's no track that he's truly sick of performing.
"It used to be 'Little Red Corvette' until we re-worked it into a slow blues," he explained. "It's hot now. A good example of song evolution over time. We actually know better what the song is about now."
Prince describes himself as "out of the loop" when it comes to modern Australian music, but there's no doubt as to who he thinks is the reigning, er, "prince" of pop. "Need you ask?" he smiled. "Seriously ... it's not a question for an artist to answer. It's really up to individual choice.
"Every artist who's really nice with it would vote for themselves. Who's your favourite? [TheFIX: You are, Prince!]"
When he's not demonstrating why he is arguably one of music's all-time greatest artists, Prince devours new sounds, and cites Lianne La Havas, his guitarist Mr. McKee, support act Delilah and babin' collaborator Andy Allo as his "fave" new music.
But when it comes to all-time favourites, long-time collaborator Larry Graham is his top pick.
"He reminds us all of what was great in the past," he said.
"Everyone who meets him has the same response. He's a kind man who is always encouraging. After a shred with him you feel like you can conquer anything."

Famously private, and even weary of having his music on the internet, Prince's longevity in music has come from a very different approach to that of fellow 53-year-old Madonna.
"Every artist approaches this from a different angle," he said carefully. "[Madonna] has actually become quite successful on her own terms.
"To us, [credibility] is all subjective. I started off primarily as a live performer, who mastered the studio at an early age by actually owning one.
"Warner Bros. granted rights unheard of at the time that allowed us the freedom to produce music unencumbered. Working without a net or a ceiling benefits us greatly. Thus, music became a real job, not a hobby.
"The music we create supports families and dreams. Both of which are quite big now."
Madonna may still be in the charts thanks to her dance-music-in-leotards approach, but most of Prince's 80s pop peers, most notably Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, weren't so lucky.
When we asked Prince why the thought he escaped a similar fate, he responded by urging us to watch a YouTube video.
The 20-minute clip was a talk from Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert.
The 2009 speech was concerned with how the pressure of being considered a "genius" affects the creative process.
It's a funny and intrigiung talk — just like Prince himself. Count ourselves lucky that he's turning out to be one of pop's top survivors.

Sydney: All Phones Arena, May 11, 12 and 22.
