Ok so we've seen the performances that gave people chills. How about the ones that make you want to turn away? For me it was The World Music Awards performance/lip sync fest of TMBGITW in 94. Where do i start? The over the top choreography made me cringe. He also looked like he was wearing a kite. This one reeked of Get Wild Perfume.

Very loose interpretation of the word 'performance'

I love that performance!

I hate that shit. If someone who'd never heard of Prince before saw that they'd think he was a joke.

Side note - I think that shit was set-up by MJ, that he saw Prince was plastered or whatever and so he asked James Brown to call Prince up onstage on short notice like that because he knew he'd bomb.

The MTV performance of Gett Off... up until he picks up the guitar and then, all of a sudden - or suddenly, as Stephen Fry would have it -, Prince arrives on stage and the ass that had been there up until that point disappears.

your referring to the Joffrey Ballet, that doesn't count friend. I'm only looking for the ones ol' princey did himself.

Well this isn't what you would call a performance per se but what about the time he went on The View and when he goes to leave he gets confused about which door to exit through.

We were watching it in our lunch room at work and it was a little bit of a cringe moment for me as I had just finished telling everybody how cool this man is etc
