In the words of Flava Flav, Don't Believe The Hype! The fam wasn't aware of anything other than the licensing of the song for use during the halftime performance, not how it was to be used, just that JT would be performing it. LR, you shouldn't confirm as fact what you really don't know.

Someone is lying -- that we know, for sure.

Update: Sheila comments on the supposed Hologram:

Well well. And pray tell, we should believe what you say because....why????

Unless you are gonna put your full creds out there, I am not so sure that you're one to confirm anything either. Or is that really you Lawnie?

I strongly agree with only THAT^ statement. Donny does not speak for all Prince fans. But you do not speak for all Prince fans neither.

That's the difference. I never said I did.

I hear you.

Tyka Nelson sold out [yes I said it!!!] by giving whoever put Justin Timberlake up to this Prince-hologram idea her blessing. Donny is absolutely right for point out that Prince was against the idea of using holograms to "bring back the dead" and Prince would have NEVER approved of the Prince-hologram, regardless if it was religious/spiritual OR professional reasons.

.

Tony, that is very true! Prince would not be pleased with any of this. He specifically said he did not want his image in a hologram and someone singing a duet with him when he is gone. They are not honoring his wishes, at all. JT said his tribute to Prince was the "Ultimate".....yes, it was the ultimate slap in the face to the legend, PRINCE!!

.

JT even said that MJ was his favorite all-time performer, so now it's Prince? He's so full of it. JT sold his soul to the devil for fame and fortune. He did everything that Prince would NEVER do!!

.

Shame on them!!

Justin is a bandwagon rider, plain and simple.

for some reason i dont belive tyka knew prince no more than we the fans did she always saying what prince would of liked when its interviews and stuff were prince didnt bite his tongue on what he didnt like. just like the way they handled tidal music prince pulled his music off of every streaming site and only allowed jay z to carry his stuff and look at what they doing now all about the coins

How dare JT have his listening party at PP. He was not a friend of Prince. I don't know about any of y'all, but I don't invite people whom I deem of poor character, to come into MY house!! No way, Jose!!

True.Justin and Prince did not seem to be friends.He was at a lot of Prince's parties in Beverly Hills and he jammed with the band at one or two.I don't recall if Justin went to more parties after the GGs.Ruth just said that they didn't have a problem with each other.

Because Prince never cared for JT. There was only one PRINCE, and neither JT or anyone else will ever be able to walk in his shoes.

How do we know this? Seems like projection from fans that don’t like JT.

.

Prince was very specific and said he didn't want anyone doing a Hologram of him after he passed. He didn't want anyone signing a duet with his vocal track. Doing anything otherwise, just shows the lack of respect for his wishes. How hard is that to comprehend?

.

I'm starting to wonder where the real Prince fans are around this place.

This whole thing with JT from him being chosen to perform at the SuperBowl to the listening party to the lackluster halftime performance was riddled with inconsistent info. on who made decisions. It is foul.

.

Sure is!!

.

A lot of people are hinting that a hologram was in fact planned -- something that Prince was strongly against.

.

Originally featuring a Prince hologram “artfully dodging men in black” with “funky dance moves“, while “spitting insightful lyrics about the New World Order and the reality of the world we live in,” the hologram performance was “vetoed by producers and Super Bowl organizers” on the morning of the game.

.

“At the very end, an agent shot the hologram in the back and Prince suddenly disappeared, before Justin launched into Mirrors. The meaning wasn’t as obvious as that, if you didn’t know what to look for. But it made some people very nervous.”

.

According to members of Justin Timberlake’s choreography, the late cancelation of the Prince hologram left Timberlake with a half-baked halftime show that was “more like a run of the mill concert than a spectacular Super Bowl show.“

There is an interview on TMZ with Sheila were she is hinting that the hologram was a corporate idea that Justine had no decision. If Pepsi paid for everything this would make sense.

Well we have to then apply this to ALL of the tributes folks not just the ones we dont like or we dont like the person doing it. Morris Day had Prince on a screen many shows and with vocals, Shelia did it, NPG did it, also Morgan James who does a kick ass cover of "Call My Name" which Prince told her he loved and gave blessings too, when I saw her this year and this was done in the spirit of a tribute PRINCE appeared on a screen behind her, not singing just a still image. SO I get it, but if its not cool for JT to do it with a vocal behind him then its not cool for Morris and SHelia to do, PRINCE did not say "Its demonic if so and so does it but not if this person does it" he said it as a full blanket statement.

I just want to know where was the RESPECT when Prince was ALIVE! People dissed him left and right ... and now they want to do TRIBUTES???? Where was the LOVE when he could hear and see it??? NO WHERE to be found ... and now that he's dead people want to atone themselves for the crappy way they treated him ... he can't hear or see the tributes ... did anyone tell him THANK YOU when he was alive ... NOPE! But but he would be "fine" ... No wonder he didn't like posthumous tributes because he knew they were FAKE

Thank U for this. Said this recently when i saw JLO do her thing, and I was like "Wait when did these peeps dig Prince so much??"

I understand your point, however, I don't see Sheila's and Morris' tributes to Prince anything close to what JT did.

Isn’t a hologram 3D? Also the tribute concert at Target Center on April 21 will feature video footage of Prince with a backing band. Surely the Estate signed off on that.

.

Yes, it's 3D. I don't have an issue with an artist having Prince's image project on-screen, but not in the way that JT did it. He was singing along with Prince; which Prince did not want (duets). He said if he was meant to jam with Duke Ellington; he would have lived in the same time period, and I agree with him, 100%. It was cheesy and something that Prince would never do. It was basically like Karaoke.......imo.

Oh, but we are wrong for respecting Prince's wishes. Aint' that a bitch?

.

So, now we live in an age where respecting someone's legacy/wishes is wrong and so uncool?

.

WTF?

Let's say, for arguments sake, that it was Prince's dying wish that his vault of unreleased recordings was to be locked up and never heard by anyone. But, going against his final wish, his family decided to release all that music on an iTunes-type online store and also some select projects like Black is the New Black on CD and vinyl. Would you, as a Prince fan, abide by his final wish and not purchase or listen to these recordings or would you willingly go against what he wanted and seek out every available piece of music you could? Because I know what I'd do...

.

I get where you are going with this, but it's not the same thing. Prince would never keep his music from his fans -- I don't see him ever wanting to do that.

Does not compute.....does not compute......LOL
