p.s. for those who missed the "Brits backstage" show that was on earlier, they showed a short interview with Wendy,Lisa and Sheila E , who said how great it was to perform Purple Rain again . The presenter also said they werent allowed to film Prince rehearsing ( showed everyone else though) . A few musicians there were very excited about Prince being there , and Anthony from Anthony and the Johnsons was thrilled that Wendy and Lisa were playing with him too . They also showed some footage of Prince walking to the stage and some backstage roadie woman almost ran right into him she was so busy lol , finally a few seconds of footage of Prince talking to Jack Johnson outside his dressing room backstage , until he spots a camera filming and points it out to stop them filming , a few nice little snippets in addition to the main performance really .

just saw it. finally. wow. brilliant!
i literally wept when I saw the spotlight on Wendy as purple rain opened. otherwise, not much to say that hasn't already been said, except that after seeing Wendy & Lisa at Largo so many times, and them + Sheila at La Va Lie so recently, it is SUPERB to see them all on a giant stage in front of a giant audience. thanks, Prince. thank u. thank u. thank u. noituloveryxesevolasildnaydnew

Well done, one and all! Peace, David | |

SNL was it. this isnt. I originally thought that the W&L reunion would be lost on the Brits audience and wasn't the place for it. But thinking about it now, what better place to do the reunion? This show is being re-shown in many countries from what I understand, so it gives an opportunity for a wide spectrum of hard-core fans to see this reunion, more than if it had been a gig which wasn't broadcast or if it had been some American show not being broadcast outside of the USA. And Prince knew that, as shown by his reference to 'the world' - he knew Prince fans around the world would get a chance to see this. I don't know how anybody could say that performance was boring. Te Amo is one of those songs that shows the many different flavours of Prince, however I do think the performance would have been EVEN better if it had been replaced with Black Sweat, it would also have helped promote the imminent single. The performance really took off when Prince tore into Fury, not as tight a version as the SNL peformance, but then it had to be truncated heavily to fit into the time available. It's still a very catchy song and got a lot of people going. I think he was totally right to perform 2 new tracks, not only to alert people to his forthcoming album but to show that he is not just trading off past hits. However, there was no way he could really capture the crowd totally with new, unfamiliar music, much as he failed to do when he played Emancipation/We March 10 years ago. He rectified that problem by giving the crowd what they wanted - 2 of his very best, legendary songs. Perhaps they did overshadow his new music greatly, but if you've got a back catalogue as great and classic as Prince I think you should play it rather than not. Don't run from your past, embrace it. He could have done two workmanlike performances of these songs, but what lifted them above the ordinary was the fantastically emotional way he performed them. At several points there's no doubt he really lost himself in the moment, something that despite many tv appearances is relatively rare. When Purple Rain started winding down, the crowd started an ovation, not knowing like we do that he would extend the song out. I just thought it was fantastic when he shouted 'Want some more?' and the crowd were screaming for it. Then Purple Rain ends and the crowd thinks that it, and starts another ovation - then Prince says 'Dearly Beloved - we are here to get through this thing called life' and the crowd go nuts again. He slams the hell out of Let's Go Crazy and really brings this fantastic emotional performance to a crashing crescendo with his final guitar solo in a spotlight. That is not what I call boring. Ultimately, what Prince was promoting was not the new album, it was Prince himself - showing that he is still around, still at the top of his game, to an audience that largely had thought he'd disappeared or retired. If/when Prince tours Europe, I think the new buzz around him will mean he will sell out stadiums again whether the album is a hit or not. [Edited 2/18/06 6:01am] | |

I could not agree more...I loved this performance just as much as I loved the SNL performance...sure , SNL was a bit rougher and rawer but this one still kicked ass. And talking about casual fans not giving a shit about Wendy and Lisa : I know many casual fans and they all know who Wendy and Lisa are, so it was a great idea to bring them and Sheila back on stage with him. Let´s Go Crazy is indeed a bit overplayed, but it was still a good choice because it fit perfectly into that medley. I mean, it was a medley after all, and I usually hate medleys, but this one was quite perfect. Prince looked healthy and happy, W&L plus Sheila E. were on stage, two new songs...what more could we wish for. Great times, people...let the summer come !

[Edited 2/18/06 6:04am] Wasn't rocking? He played 2 of the greatest rock songs of all time, searing guitar solos and all, eyes closed lost in the moment, and he wasn't rocking? You're a hard person to please. Well, no heavy metallers and rock people in the UK raved about the SNL performance - because they didn't get to see it, duh! It wasn't broadcast over here. The only reason the metallers and rock people you mention haven't raved about this performance is because they haven't see it yet since clearly they must have been in America to see SNL. Practically everyone who did witness this Brit performance HAS raved about it. | |

I am not feeling the performance like most are. TAC was a snoozefest. Fury should have been performed in it's entirety. If that meant one of the other songs had to be cut out, then so be it. I was very disappointed in the butchered version we were presented with. LGC is now cringeworthy. What was the squawking noise thing after the "Gooooo crazy.....go, go,go...go, go, go" part? I didn't like it at all. The W&L reunion did absolutely nothing for me. It would not have mattered if they were there or not. PR was the best performed song. The dancers/backup singers were definitely hot. | |

This is what I had to say and I hate to be a nay sayer, but this was really how i felt when I saw his performance at the Brits-
The response to the Brits i find interesting. Most liked it in here. I didnt. I thought doing lets go crazy and purple rain was a cop out. How old? its not 1984... makes it seem those were the only hits he had in 20 years... rediculous.. what with a new album out and musicology just been. as for wendy and lisa and sheila e... totally over the audience's heads. Wrong place wrong time. And Te amo corazon??? soppy and mediocre and lackluster.. hardly awe inspiring and would make one rush out and get the lastest album.. imo he should have done 4 mins of a dayum funky and fresh Black Sweat, blow them away with some new funk (some kind of live hybrid remix as prince can only do) and left them gasping for more. this for me was just so disappointing. no-one will remember that performance or the new song, and anyone remembering prince from years a go would be going what the f?? prince still singing purple rain? boring! For me, uneventful, unmemorable and and as usual a waste of precious tv airtime. wendy and lisa reunion.. fine but not at the brits. there will be no appreciation and who there really cares except a fan? pointless. Should have stole the show with a funky live remix of black sweat.. said it before and say it again! That would have made him look interesting new and fresh. not tired and an old as been, clutching to 20 year old hits to justify appearing at the brits. and what the hell was that robe he was wearing? for a UK crowd and some who havent seen him in years, he would look rediculous. and hey, thats why im a prince fan after all. he does what the fuck he wants - and thats why i like him - and will always be unappreciated and underrated here in the UK. Peace out. purplehouse. The Tao te Ching gives advice to rulers:

How old? its not 1984... makes it seem those were the only hits he had in 20 years... I disagree, what it showed was that Let's Go Crazy and Purple Rain were as good and vital today as when they were first released, reflecting Prince's awesome songwriting talents and legendary status, and bring into question whether songs by the artists winning the awards could still sound so fresh 20 years on. as for wendy and lisa and sheila e... totally over the audience's heads. Wrong place wrong time. wendy and lisa reunion.. fine but not at the brits. there will be no appreciation and who there really cares except a fan? pointless.
Like I said in an earlier post, explain when would have been a good time for this reunion? Perhaps only hardcore fans do care, but because this is being shown in several countries, and other fans finding the video online, the hardcore fans actually have a chance to see this reunion on a world-wide basis. And Te amo corazon??? soppy and mediocre and lackluster.. hardly awe inspiring and would make one rush out and get the lastest album.. That's surely a comment on the song itself and not on the performance of the song.
imo he should have done 4 mins of a dayum funky and fresh Black Sweat, blow them away with some new funk (some kind of live hybrid remix as prince can only do) and left them gasping for more.
Prince did that 10 years ago when he performed an Emancipation/We March funky jam. While not a terrible performance, it did not leave joe public gasping for more. Whereas this performance including the 2 classics will leave joe public gasping at least to see Prince live, much as his Grammy's and Hall of Fame perfomances did in the States. this for me was just so disappointing. no-one will remember that performance or the new song, and anyone remembering prince from years a go would be going what the f?? prince still singing purple rain? boring!
Well, Prince PROMISING to play hits like Purple Rain is what brought the public in droves to see the Musicology tour and make Prince like £50 million profit. Or do you insist it was the promise of new material that brought them in?! Joe Public loves to hear the hits, hardcore fans like to hear new stuff. So this medley was the perfect compromise. | |

How do you know the same 13 year olds wouldn't freak out seeing this performance also? Since they weren't even born when Purple Rain came out, the songs might be completely new to them anyway! lets see the these old guys rolling stones doing jumnpin jack flash and satisfaction once more hehe
I don't see it as negative to be compared to the Stones, they rake it in every tour and people don't seem to get bored listening to those old hits because they are so good and so much better than anything around now, just like Prince and his hits. if u play the same old songs everyone not a fan knows, people will think "ah ok this guy hasnt done anything good since 84"
He did play 2 new songs - like I said before, the best of both worlds. | |

Methinks you are not 'in the zone'! i dont need to defend anything as im in the zone. its an opinion and this is not a stupid competition. some stupid fans just cant stand critics or OPINIONS. this is not court, u freak!
