Why Didnt Anyone Tell Me About Prince?

No way! Prince played like a gazillion different instruments, wrote and produced ALL of his music, ghost wrote for other artists, and could sing and perform on top of all that. MJ was great don't get me wrong but Prince had more talent in one finger than all of MJs body. 

That's nice, but MJ was an immensely better performer, dancer and overall showman. Look at any of Mj's live performances and compare it to Prince. MJ created spectacle the kind no one else ever had. Sure prince can play a lot of instruments - but a lot of people can. MJ created the kind of live performances nobody else has come close to matching in terms of energy, spectacle and awe.

Performance is only one aspect of being an artist. IMO Prince checked more boxes on the criteria of being an all around artist.
