笑死了！！“黑眼豆豆”主唱will.i.am回憶他帶邁克爾傑克遜去看歌手Prince的演出，囧！！
太生動了喂！
這一段，曾經在新書《MJ: 邁克爾傑克遜的天才》中講到。
這是2006年的一則軼事，當時MJ去看Prince在拉斯維加斯演唱會，而Prince逼到MJ面前瘋狂的擊弦動作彈奏貝司來威懾流行音樂之王。
Prince當時在拉斯維加斯駐場演出，MJ則住在拉斯維加斯。黑眼豆豆組合的領軍人物will.i.am是Prince的表演嘉賓，同時他也是MJ的朋友，有天will安排MJ去Prince的演唱會上當觀眾。沒人知道MJ在觀眾席裡，但Prince知道。
“演出中有那麼一刻，Prince在彈貝司，於是他拿著巨大的貝斯到觀眾中去——他知道MJ坐在哪裡——他直接走到MJ面前，開始當著MJ的面彈貝斯。那種很猛烈的擊弦動作彈貝司。”
第二天早上，will去MJ的宅邸用早餐，他們談論了Prince和那場演出。然後MJ說，“Will，你覺得Prince當著我的面談貝司是什麼意思？”
MJ非常生氣。然後他開始說，“Prince一直都是個小氣鬼。他就是超級小氣鬼。他對我總是不好。每個人都說他是一個傳奇的偉大的多才多藝的人，而說我是一個隻會唱歌跳舞的人。但我也寫出了《Billie Jean》，我也寫了《天下一家》，我也是歌曲創作者。”
Will.I.Am Shares A Hilarious Story Of That Time Michael Jackson Went To A Prince Concert
Of all the legendary stories that surfaced after Prince‘s untimely passing last week, one may have stuck out above the rest. Only Prince would have the audacity to taunt Michael Jackson at a show in front of thousands of people by playing bass right in his face. Only Prince.
Up until now, the story was only a second-hand account, via the biography MJ: The Genius of Michael Jackson by Steve Knopper. Well, thanks to Ellen DeGeneres and Will.I.Am, we finally have the incredible first hand account, including a hilarious set of phone calls, a small peak into the life of both Prince and Mike, and Will’s own perfect impression of the two legends.
Will details Michael calling him asking about a show he was doing with the Black Eyed Peas in Las Vegas, only to learn that he won’t be able to attend because, as Michael put it, “Oh rats, I gotta put the kids to sleep.” So Will lets him know that he also has a second show with Prince later that he may be able to make it to, to which Mike replies, “Oh I don’t know, Prince and I have always been at odds with each other.”
This is where the story gets a tad ludicrous, because Will has the audacity to tell the King of Pop, “I’ll call you right back.” It’s for good reason because he then calls Prince and asks for accommodations for Michael, and Prince obliged.
So with Mike set up, Will enjoyed the show in a special section with Michael, Prince’s manager, and Chris Tucker, and as you can guess, Prince went full on Prince. According to Will’s story, Prince made his way to the section and provocatively played the slap bass right in Michael’s face to humiliate him. According to Will, “Michael Jackson is like, ‘What’s up with Prince playing the bass in my face?'” and Prince made his way back to the stage. According to Knopper’s book, Michael Jackson was furious the next day:
Michael was outraged. And then started going on. ‘Prince has always been a meanie. He’s just a big meanie. He’s always been not nice to me. Everybody says Prince is this great legendary Renaissance man and I’m just a song-and-dance man, but I wrote “Billie Jean” and I wrote “We Are the World” and I’m a songwriter too.’
