3rd! lolz.

FURY ROCKS!!!!!

i love Fury....my one complaint is that it needs a stronger hummable part..


but with the guitars..and the passion..its a minor complaint. i love the background twins...i prefer T'amar as a background singer though..she brings nothing new to the world of music..

unless she is a tranny or something.....

she is pretty..but for voice is just there...unless she is a tranny or something...

Just seen it, loved it. Pretty Man was on fiaaaah! And am loving the backing singers - very... Proud Mary However, on BL&B I thought Tamar's vocals may have been a little too loud, as he seemed to be struggling to be heard over her sometimes. but that small gripe aside, 'twas sheerpurpleawesomeness all round!

Mr Man!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!

I think its safe to say the new CD is going to be off the chain!!! MY God both songs were so full of life and I love the girls.

The second song they had his mic to low Tamar was overpowering his vocals. But the song was awesome too!!

I loved everything about this and its been a minute since I felt this good and strongly about a 4 new Prince songs!! Don't get me wrong I love the mans music but this new stuff is just fiyah!!!!

PRINCE IS THE SHIT!!!

I taped the whole show on VCR. Steve Martin was a hoot!!! Besides that, Prince's performance was excitedly awesome

1st performance = on point. the chicks gettin their "proud mary" on in the background kinna annoyed me, but hey. at least the song was pretty good.

2nd performance = meh. it was kinna funny with prince's little ode to mary katherine gallagher at the end...superstarrrrr!

"Fury" is fucking sublime, the synth part combined with the lyrical guitar all the way through make it sound sooo good, bring on the new album.

I live goog Ol' Portugal so no SNL here!
Just saw the per4mance of youtube and I can only say one thing:


WTF!!!!!


PRINCE IS BACK!

TAMAR 6

THE GUITAR

FURY IS FUCKING AWESOME!

I'M COMING!!!

Thanks!Have a nice day1

So I finally see Tamar...not that impressed. Ledisi shoulda been the one he took under his wing. Or hell, Leela James - BOTH have better range than Tamar.

The first song was OK. Then I waited through all those stale comedy skits to find that the second song was someone else's, and a dull as hell one at that. I turned the TV off in the middle of her song and turned on my music.

The folks over at rec.music.artists.springsteen were watching SNL. Click the link to see what they thought. (You'll be pleased.)

ok...I loved Fury!!! i watched and was amazed
but i have a question.....did anyone catch what he said at the end of Tamar's song?
He said the 3121...march 21...Beutiful,loved,blessed....and...what was the other thing. sounded to me like he said MAY 2nd.
what could that be??? if he did say may 2nd, i bet it has something to do with the Tour.

I Tivo'd the show and proceeded to watch both
performances over and over again. I won't argue
influential relevance, or whether the back-up singers
were good or not, or whether this is a return to form.
Ultimately, if you are a fan of Prince, these
last two years have been amazing. And the man is
smart. Just like the Grammies ushering(no pun) in
Musicology, this performance on SNL will help kick start
3121. Come on now! That guitar work on Fury?!!
The man still has it.
Go Prince! And any haters out there - that's ok,
I won't be missing you when I work up my sweat and
lose my voice during the upcoming tour. Stay home!
We don't need you.

I think it's redundant to keep praising the performance and geeking out over it, so that's exactly what I'll do. awesome show, great songs, in my ears those are the best radio songs he's had a hand in for a while. Buckle up for the storm coming next month.
