You're acting like a fanatic. This performance is HARDLY Transformers 3!

I'd put it on par with Transfomers 2. This last performance by Shelby brings it down to "Ishtar" quality.

The crowd doesn't care. Most people watching don't care, which leads me to the question, why are YOU still watching???

the last performance was stellar .. I was feeling that ... and Shelby J is from Greensboro too gotta show love. Sheila E was great as always.... Last Performance was the best

Ok, latin funk version of DTrain's - You're the one for me was kinda cool. But why a cover?

I'm seeing most have negative comments on here. Am I the only one who thinks he looks great and doesn't look near 53?

No You Aren'y the Only One....What a cute Little Drummer Boy

Umm, congrats to Prince for looking cool while sounding like sht.

Didn't Prince just bitch about bad cover versions like 30 min ago? Now they are butchering a funk classic.

Typical.

That should make some good pics of little drummer boy...LMAO

she totaly lost my attention..

but like i said.. love the drv

Of ALL of the songs in his arsenal, he plays another cover?? And then on top of it, Shelby's on lead??! Come the fuck on, Prince! See, this is why I can't get down with his stuff any longer. He's practically a Vegas act!

Looks like he wants to be a part of a high school marching band too! Lol! That was at least a "different" type segment, so that was all right.

whoeles thought Prince's band was off??? They seemed like they werent mic right and waaay to much keyboard.

not much soul in the band!

This is the first flawed performance since the vibe tv performance with sinbad

Hey Fantastic, nope it's not just you, there's loads of negativity here, reminds me of why I seldom post on the Org. I loved the performances, he looks great and I'm happy to see him totally have the audience capitvated as he enters into his fourth decade of his career. Well done, Prince!

Most negative comments are from orgers. Go outside the orgers to people who don't listen to Prince 24/7 and you'll see a much more positive reaction. Like Twitter.

Excellent night. I like the combination of sit down and mutiple performances. It's always been one or the other with his late night appearances. Love seeing Sheila E as always and him picking up a drum, way cool! Nice knowing Misty is still around because the concert goers deserve that performance.

Hey Electric, did you hear Prince yell "Come on Background!", yeah I think the background vocals were non-existent. I dunno, where's the NPG from the Musicology era? I loved that version of the band!

It's called having an opinion. Look it up. Everyone does NOT have to feel the same way!! So, stop wishing everyone did. We're free to post what we think of a performance, be it bad or good. I think tonight's performances were shit, but do I bitch about people posting their "positive" thoughts about it? No!!

hmmm off performance actually a little better then the American Idol performance.

But clearly off!

Id give it a 6/10

no soul, voice kinda off, band was heartless and boring.

Well, Nite, You All. I want to go to sleep on a happy note. Thanks, Sweet Prince, you nevver disapoint. IMHO.

Not bad from the purple yoda....

Prince probably has a cold me thinks.

You may not be bitching about people posting "positive" thoughts, but you sure are about everything else!

Missed the "Laydown" performance but the other two songs were great, the interview was awesome and hot damn... Rosario is still gorgeous.

Some of y'all bitch and moan way too much.

Dope as fuqq

I'm glad he used the Hohner.

I thought Baldy was alright too.

I'm surprised that he agreed to interview.

ugh.. I hate when he's all cute and charming... nice

ok, maybe not me, but, my wallet hates it..

-- makes me wanna chug the kool-aid and sit on a cupcake... and fly 3,000 miles to L.A.

Yes but you guys are plain disrespectful and are complete assholes about it.

Give me a break. It was not a performance up to Prince's usual standards. I love Prince too, but that was a sad performance. In my opinion he's working because he absolutely has to, not because he wants too. He seemed a bit out of it. We know he's had a very tough year with the lawsuits and the loss of his brother. I think tonight we saw Prince crack a bit under the strain.

What a band... talk about too many members who do nothing. Prince has to hide behind tons of glitz and fakeness these days. Every show is like an overproduced, mass produced mess. It's a shame he's not raw and real anymore. You could tell Prince was kind of embarrassed after each performance.

I'd keep Blackwell and Neto and lose everyone else in that band. Shelby and the girls add nothing. Plus, they're totally fugly. Tommy Barbarella was sexier than all 3 of those dogs combined.

mplsmike said: Uhhh no. Listen to how crackly and weak his falsetto was. As someone said, he may have a cold. No need to be a prince apologist.

Most people watching can't tell the differece. Everybody watching hasn't seen him 1500 hundred times and listened to 900 bootlegs and seen him on TV.

Just chill, and stop being so overly critical.

Most people don't know crap about singing.

I'm sure all the casual fans can tell he can't do falsetto anymore.

Love the excuses people make.
