Musician A plays guitar and piano, but has tried and failed to learn other instruments.

Musician B plays guitar, piano, trumpet, saxophone, violin, cello, french horn, harp, concert bass, drums, and flute, all at a high level.

Apparently musician A = musician B.

Yep, logic checks out.

Neither musician means shit without a decent songwriter.

But Mj played his crotch..

And c'mon, just cause prince can play a ton of instruments it doesn't make him better than MJ, i saw 'This is it' and saw MJ as a white zombie girl all worn out still trying to pull of being MJ, and he was involved in the musical arrangements of the song, telling the guitarist what to do in some parts but also encouraging their own input.

Do ppl forget MJ has been in the music business ever since he was kid!?

He knows about music, aight? it's no fluke he was the king of pop!
So why does prince get more musician's cred than Mj? cause he can play more instruments than Mj? that's bullsh*t cause even if he does, MJ made better songs that had more of an impact in society than Prince.

I've been writing songs since I was a kid, does that mean I'm the best too?!?!?
