Prince (Both can be so wrong... But in the 80s all Prince's looks were absolutely great from Dirty Mind to Parade especially)
Talent
Prince (composer, song-writer, multi-instrumentist, singer, showman...)

Prince (saw them both - no debate)

I should say Michael cause his is more obvious but I will say both as I think that Prince had probably a greater impact on the musical community (musical influence, support of other artists and - I don't know how to word it - issues tied to artistic business model)

Prince. Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon needs to be drummed out of the business.

Prince in everything but dancing and videos.

I really want to say Prince but I can't actually remember any of his videos.
Stage Presence
Never seen either of them life.

I do not consider this relevant. But probably Jackson.

Depends.
Prince on music, Jackson on video clips.

Prince is nowhere near MJ's impact.
Everyone is going for prince for looks. I thought MJ was more handsome when he still looked like an African american man with Afro or Jerry curls.
MJ was a song writer and composer like Prince. it's not fair when this is ignored. it's like mariah carey, who writers and compose most of her songs but it is not really talked about because she was such a great singer.

Ii forgot one big category. VOICE
Who had the better voice?
Looks
Prince. He never did any of the crazy stuff to himself that Michael had done.
Talent
Prince. When Eric Clapton said Prince was a better guitarist than him, that spoke volumes.

Before plastic surgery, pretty even. After plastic surgery, Prince (and most of the rest of the world) wins by a mile.

Prince
Prince was a major heavyweight songwriter, and kept reinventing himself over the years. In that respect he's up there with David Bowie - and hardly anyone else.
Michael Jackson just did Michael Jackson over and over. Rather than reinventing himself he because a parody of himself.
Prince's impact is subtler than Jackson's, but I think it is bigger.
