Prince at the American Music Awards – stylewatch

Head to toe in gold, with three-lens glasses, the pop star shines like a star at the awards ceremony

Prince, as everyone knows, is all kinds of awesome. He proved this once again this weekend when he appeared at the American Music Awards and promptly outshone host Jennifer Lopez’s all-singing, all-dancing opening routine, Harry Styles’ Ikea-ish flowery suit and Ariana Grande’s grandmother, the singer’s guest to the ceremony. Part of this shining ability comes from his clothes: a flute-sleeved mustard-hued poloneck with what looked liked eyeballs on both sleeves, matching flares puddling over heels and thigh-length gold alligator-style gilet. He resembled an afro-d pop star remade from the sun. Or an as-yet-unveiled relative of Princess Leia in the new Star Wars. Either way, equally mindblowing.

Then there’s the sunglasses. The sunglasses! Prince is so meta with these third-eye sunglasses, what with his band called 3rdeyegirl, that you think an actual eye on his forehead is not out of the realms of possibility. Add the kind of look that makes Blue Steel positively beta, and there you have it. Prince = awesome once again.


It's called over inflated egos, all media and celebs are part of the club. wink

I just see more stroking of a past his prime rock star! If only the media elite were as in tune as some of Prince's fans at the Org......Here, we are not afraid to tell the truth about the man.....We know Prince looks ridiculous, right? We know he's a joke....Dammit, I'm so tired of the media and award show celebs and audience members showing this has-been hack respect. Why r they standing up for this washed out relic anyway???????

It's so infuriating.....

I agree murph, but if you speak the truth here, they accuse you of "hating" on the man. Thank god that some are not afraid to speak what they feel. The guitar made no sense whatsoever, and only added to the weirdness that is Prince, although for some reason, I think he likes that. lol

Ooh nasty little nan. Why would you be here if you feel so negatively. To answer your question, respect for an individual is earned over time, it is not something that has to be re earned every week!. In this regard Prince has done more than most to warrant such deference. The media no longer analyse prince ongoing. He is simply now "Prince"..it's iconification.

That ain't a wig, for the millionth time. If he wore a wig, it wouldn't look that unkempt.

U r speaking the truth!!!!!!!

I hate it!!!!!!

I just wish the rest of the public knew the real deal. The Org knows what's up with Prince. We know the real Prince. He's a wacked out answer to a Trivial Pursuit question.....

I like how he brought his guitar on stage with him, it was quite cute. Someone mentioned on facebook that it's maybe a hint to the piano tour being cancelled? Just food for thought I guess.



I modeled in a charity fashion show last week and wore my guitar as a prop. It was fun! I had a big sign on the back of my guitar, and held it up when I got to the end of the runway. I had the organization's logo on the back, and the crowd loved it.

Most of the people criticizing his physical appearance at the AMA's last night is one burger away from a heart attack and has seen the best days of their hair go away since "Diamonds And Pearls" came out.

I didn't see the awards show but I think he looks great in the above picture and, even though I am mostly uninterested in his "new stuff" and these girls in his band etc. , I still do not consider Prince a washed up hack. Seriously? Even though I don't like the new stuff, he still is NOT a washed up hack.

I thought he looked OK, but he must be bummed presenting an Award that he used to win and be in nominated for all the time. Now he cant even manage to get a minor hit on the radio. That crowd doesnt know any of his new music I bet, which is probably tough for Prince's ego.

I didnt like that Prince didnt even say the Weknd won, he just said "The Winner is..." and let the video show the Weeknd's name. Its as if Prince couldnt bear to announce a winner that wasn't him. He probably brought the guitar out to show everyone that, "Yea, you like the Weeknd, but he cant play guitar like me."

He doesn't even promote his new music so most people don't know about his output since Musicology and all these wierd distribution methods hasn't helped either. It's Prince own fault imo

Grumpy old Prince, the Weeknd plays keyboards. And I would go so far as to say the Weeknd has never heard of the HITNRUN Phase 1 album because Prince has done such an abysmal job promoting it.

Prince Wears Giant Guitar...sic Awards

Flava Flav's clock. The grandma in Titanic's Heart of the Ocean. Possibly others. But move over, those famous necklaces, because Prince upped the motherfucking game Sunday night at the American Music Awards. Appearing onstage to present the award for Favorite R&B/Soul Album, the locally produced sex-pop dynamo wowed attendees at the Microsoft Theater in L.A. with his daring guitar necklace.

The life-size piece was likely designed by jewelers at Gibson or Fender, and it dangled with weighty elegance Sunday, affixed to Prince's torso by a fuzzy leopard-print strap. It's 100 percent possible the Purple One, with his six-string necklace hanging behind his back, was thumbing his nose at society's antiquated insistence on wearing necklaces on one's chest. It's also a winking allusion to the fact Prince knows how to play guitar. Pretty powerful stuff.

It's very simple.



The Weeknd has made some great and catchy soul songs that have been big hits.

D'Angelo made an incomprehensible, mumbling, poorly mixed album that only had any hype because of the stupidly long time it took to make it, and everybody promptly forget about it after 3 months. I didn't see anyone mention it after January of this year, on this forum. And now D'Angelo is back hiding in his hole, while The Weeknd continues to pump out great songs.



Hell, I don't even like The Weeknd that much. But listen to that bass drop at 44seconds. That's fucking killer. D'Angelo took 14 years and couldn't write one thing with as much impact. I'm listening to it on my studio monitors and it slams.















Sadly D'angelo is having MAJOR health issues. So to his credit. He needs prayer. So U should be more considerate & show some compassion.
