As usual, nothing post '86, I see.

I'm actually surprised they didn't use any PR tracks. Which I'm grateful for.

The thought of Xtina screeching 1999 makes me barf.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

i really love that The Voice just gets to the performances and doesn't make u sit through a 2 hour marathon of back stories and bad auditions. i watched this morning thinking i was going to have to fw through a bunch of shit and they immediately got to the first singer. bravo.

I don't even know what "The Voice" is. I assume it's a TV show... what network?

NBC. It's actually somewhat entertaining.

^^ thanks for that audio. I don't have TV now, so I'm glad I got to hear it, tho' I suppose I can watch the video on nbc.com tonight.

I thought Adam Levine's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" was pretty good - didn't know he did falsetto at all. I always thought that was a good song, fits very well w/ disco (imagine Donna Summer singing it!) but Prince sings it w/ an edge. Not sure about the Blake Shelton countrified "Kiss" confused .

Not sure about the Blake Shelton countrified "Kiss" -

Country music is soo weak as a whole. It's the easiest genre to create. All the music sounds the same, theres nothing creative about it. It's where pop stars go who can't hack it anymore. Prime example Darious Rucker.

I thought they did pretty good.

On a side note, A friend of the family (Tony Lucca) was picked as a contestant last night.

He is gonna be coached by Adam. Tony has Mad Skillz. Go Tony!!!

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

He sure did banks. He also used the lyrics, "I guess I must be dumb, cuz u had a pocket full of horses, Trojans and some of them used". It didn't bother Cee-Lo. cool

The video clip has been removed from NBC the voice website. Is this Prince's doing by threatening to sue? Just curious

You didn't miss anything, although there were some tasty guitar and keyboard licks on "1999".

And props to Adam Levine for trying "I Wanna Be Your Lover" but dude was several notes off.

Awesome! He was the guy in the Mickey Mouse Club, right? He's probably lucky as all get-out that he never knew Brittney Spears had a crush on him.

No, it's not removed. It's on the NBC site:

http://www.nbc.com/the-vo...ey/1383557

I agree dandee - I liked Adam the best. But I've him on youtube doing 1999 w/ his band (Maroon 5) and, while it's great to see an actual band playing that song, you DO really realize that Prince is quite a good vocalist when you hear others attempting his songs.

Good luck to your friend Tony.

By the way, your sig - is that a true story/quote? Did Prince really say that to a woman interviewer??

I've never watched the show but that was actually lovely! clapping

Loved the honky-tonk/country-ish take on KISS.
