Adam Levine..good choice. Didn't he do one of Prince's songs on that 'Voice' show?
I think it would be cool to have musicians/artists that can capture all the flavors of music Prince performs. They definitely have to know how to bring the Funk, CocoRock, Soul ballads, R&B upbeat songs, Poprock, Pop ballads, Jazz, Rockabilly, Bluesrock, etc. of Prince. Nothing watered-down. For all we know that show may be an orchestra playing his music with no entertainers.
Icons - either a presentation or perform a song of his:
Stevie Wonder Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan Larry Graham Carlos Santana Lenny Kravitz Adam Levine Joni Mitchell
Maybe 1 or 2 songs from:
Sheila E Members of the Revolution, Andre Cymone, Dez Dickerson - all do a performance together Maya Rudolph and her Princess group
Newer/Artists that could be introduced as Prince being inspired by their music/and that he's worked/performed with recently:
Janelle Mona Lianne La Havas Anna Moura Esperanza Spalding Andy Allo
Then Prince with his current NPG band (including the 3 backup singers) do the finale.

OK.
Who's going to this, and what price range of tickets are you considering?

I got a ticket, given the doubtfulness of any type of Prince US tour, it hopefully will fill a void for a while.
Interestingly, there is a VIP package that includes tickets to an "aftershow". If Prince does show up, that might be an interesting venture, but I am not willing to spend $300 to take a chance.

I'd add Beck. What ever happened to him anyway? | |

Yes it can go really well or not... the best tribute show I've seen was the 1999 one that Questlove & Vernon Reid curated for the Brooklyn Academy of Music back in December 1999. That was a great show... The covers were imaginative, refreshing, and inventive, and featured under the radar type of performers who were really good, like Joan Osborne (who rocked Little Red Corvette) and Bilal who took control of International Lover.

If it goes this route, I would totally take a flight out there and maybe even go for the $300 package. | |

That is as close to perfect as you can get. A great blend of artists from the genres of music Prince has mastered and influenced. I hope the organizers book these kind of artists. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

Well seeing how she's been friends with him for so long, and he wrote songs for her, yes I could see her being one of the performers/presenters at this tribute. [Edited 12/27/12 6:35am] FEARLESS | |

As a Jehovah's witness, I don't know if Prince goes for all that adulation crap. | |

Don't see why he should have a problem with a tribute show, considering how many covers he himself does in his own concerts, as a way of paying tribute to his own influences.

I was surprised he showed up to the BET Awards tribute in 2010. It looked like he felt uncomfortable and it says something when he showed up 3/4 of the show and left after the presentation was over. I dont think Prince is the kind of guy that relishes these kind of things. Like when MJ had the MSQ tribute to himself. If it's short and quick I think he'll go it, but long stuff like this is understandly embarrassing. Even when it's deserved. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

The only way he'd go for it is if he gets to control it. Being a JW has not diminished his capacity to be a control freak or an egomaniac. "Do you really know what love is?" | |

This is a tribute show Prince does not need to be there. If this tribute is anything like the tribute show like was done for Curtis Mayfield at Avery Fisher Hall back in June,then it will be great.I went to that tribute which his old group. THE impressions was there also,Mavis Staples,Bilal,Sinead O Connor;The Roots,Meshell Ndegeocello and more excellent show. Like i said Prince dies not need there this is a tribute to him,but the artist i would pick to oerform would be: The Revolution Sheila E. Bilal Meshell Ndegeocello The Roots Alicia Keys Andre 3000 Mint Condition Frank Ocean Pharrell Trey Songz Cyndi Lauper Robin Thicke Andre Cymone Q Tip Sinead O Connor Chaka Khan India Arie Musiq Jill Scott | |
