will Prince attend the Grammys ?

hsh said:

Question is...will he win the grammy for "Dreamer?" I think he has a chance. In my opinion, "Dreamer" and "Colonized Mind" were the best tracks on the Lotsuflow3r cd.





Maybe he'll give fans a sign of appreciation when he accepts the grammy and tap his nose 3x.

(j/k, Don't trip on "the tap the nose thing" folks, just a cute joke among some fans from the npgmc days that had its run in a fun way.

comparing the other songs, dreamer should win !

I agree - I dont think he will attend tho... hopes he win

Oh, Prince will be there. Wearing those giant-ass sunglasses, no doubt. Maybe he'll even perform Purple And Gold live.

According to the org poll, Prince is a sure bet to win.

squirrelgrease said:

I think he should sing "Dreamer" if he does perform.

I didnt see any notice anywhere that he will be there or perform - its all about MJ and the earth song 3D

squirrelgrease said:

Well, that's the org.

hsh said:

Well honoring MJ is the right thing to do at the Grammys this year, but doesn't discount other artists' contributions. I won't be seeing it in 3D, just not something I was excited to do. I just hope they don't make the whole show about MJ. It's already depressing knowing he's gone. I still can't watch "This Is It". I also bought magazines about MJ and haven't read them yet. In due time long after is passing maybe I'll look through them.

He could itch the side of his nose this time, twirl and shout his fams are the best

Anyone know if these 3-D glasses are the usual blue/red deal, or a different kind of lens for viewing the MJ tribute? I don't want to have to go to Target if I don't have to. I have a bunch of those blue/red glasses.

OK. It seems they're grey. Off to Target, I guess. http://sites.target.com/s...ammys&LID=

would that be the same ones that u used for avatar - because I have those.... ?

squirrelgrease said:

squirrelgrease said:

No, they're actually the lower-quality red and blue kind (see this page for info: http://prince.org/msg/8/329052?&pg=3 ). I don't know why that advertisement shows them in gray. They would have had gray lenses (with cool black Wafarer-style frames) at the O2 if the tragedy had not occurred.

2elijah said:

Yeah its probably a bit of a biased opinion

squirrelgrease said:

Left eye red, right eye blue (grey cardboard)

PaisleyRose said:

No he did not...read further.

gogol said:

Oops, you've spoken too fast

Neil Young Archives Vol. 1 (1963-1972)" won the Grammy for best art direction on a boxed or special limited edition package. Young, 64, shared the award with fellow art directors Gary Burden and Jenice Heo.

He will also compete later in the ceremony for the best solo rock vocal Grammy, a tough field featuring Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Bruce Springsteen and odd-man-out Prince. Dean Goodman, Reuters

Now, what is that supposed to mean?

oh...i'm very happy to have been wrong.

squirrelgrease said:

Oh snap! I didn't know you needed 3-D sunglasses to watch the MJ tribute. Luckily, I already have a pair.

hsh said:

That's what I'm wondering as well. I have a pair of 3D glasses that I got when I went to see the "Christmas Carol" movie last month. I hope they work.

psychodelicide said:

Yep, those should do it.



Btw, I saw Christmal Carol too and I was very dissapointed. I soooo prefer the old Disney version.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Interesting how the writer of the article referred to Prince as "odd-man-out", but not the others.
