Now come on, Penny! You can't say that here and not tell us who it is!!

Not a good idea.

It’s a fair point. I thought Catie’s performance was nice but I agree that it didn’t help her in the competition. HCUDCM...great song to use during in a competition if the singer has the range for it. The young lady (her name escapes me) who sang HCUDCM did a great performance of it...nowhere close to as good as Prince want it, but she executed it very well and hit all of the notes.

Clover, cut the shit. If you really care about Prince's legacy you would be supportive of efforts made to promote it. Passing it down to our kids and grandkids isn't going to be enough. I am really surprised to hear that you think that is all it will take.

I think it's a stupid show. You don't have to agree. Just because I don't like AI doesn't mean I don't care about Prince's legacy -- that's silly!!

.

There are plenty of other ways to promote Prince's music.

Yep, you are entitled to your opinion on something you didn't even watch

I can't dispute that

I didn't even bother watching that shit show. Is this what's going to happen with Prince's music? What a joke!!

WHAT?????? If you didn't even listen/watch, then your opinion on this is completely invalid. Just stop clover. I am really surprised at you.

.

Other people said they didn't watch it either, so why are you giving me such a hard time about it? You even said you don't like these types of shows!

.

Okay -- if you want to know why I didn't watch it.......

.

I didn't watch it because I'm not going to support/promote a show that I don't like. See, most of America watch these shows and think they are great. Most Amercans don't really know talent when they see or hear it (not any of you), but the majority of Amercans like to be spoon-fed information and don't bother doing any research. Just like radio -- there is plenty of good talent that is never heard. Why do I have to listen to some crap song 50 times a day?! See my point?

.

I'm not going to support shows like these, nor will I support the tributes. This does not mean I don't love Prince or don't care about his legacy.

.

Did AI ever ask for Prince's approval to do a show like this when he was alive and well??

Lol, it definitely means you don't support the legacy, wtf are you thinking? This is the venue that the estate chose to put him out there and you didn't watch and are talking crap about it. How the hell else can this be seen?


And not that it matters but I don't care what you think about it but it seems like there's some double-speak going on here and I needed to point that out.

When did I ever say they aren't a direct heir?

Did you finally watch it?

Do you think those kids really interpreted the Prince songs they sang, with the way they sang them? NO, they had no clue who they were singing. They didn't do their homework, if they did the gal that sang Nothing Compares to U, wouldn't have sang 'it's been 7 hours and 15 days.' Prince wrote that song as 13 days. She used Sineads lyrics not Prince's. She studied Sinead, NOT Prince.

Are those rap songs? I think they should try Chip Fu's verse on Breakdown or maybe Alphabet Aerobics. Harry Potter can do it!

Do the judges just praise EVERYONE now? I haven't watched Idol in years.... but this ws ridiculous.

That black kid who did I would Die 4 U??????? He can't sing! that was embarassing. And he didn't get kicked off??

I'm pretty relaxed about it clover I am not upset at all. Re the better Prince fan: you said that, not me.

Im late to the Party...just watched this in Australia...

All I can say is that My Respect for Princes Talent has increased again...

As I watched these young Artists struggle and attempt what he always seemed to do so effortlessly

I realised that he was so Right

"Aint nobody can do it Like Prince Can"

Puts him in yet another Unique Catagory...

I have heard lots of Karaoke Type performances,

(SORRY AMERICAN IDOL..But not Sorry)

Elvis ,WHitney Michael, even Frank SInatra..

the list goes on...and some of the Singers can imitate so well that its almost impossible

to distinguish from the Real Deal..

But Princes Voice had a depth and breadth that no one Ive ever heard can come close to

replicating..

Miss you Prince..

Thank YOU

Thank You EVERYTHING

Especially

For U

Well, no one will know until they try it. And they really need to move forward with this. If younger people don't know P's music, they may also not know what his version sounds like, so they may have liked what they heard. And I have to say that there's been positive stuff said out there, by fans too

I'm sure that the estate would love to hear people's ideas on how to come up with money to keep things going. If you have any, consider letting them know

You don't need to watch stupid American Idol to know about Prince's music. The music should be passed down from the parents to the younger generation; that's how you learn about good music.

Yeah, but it isn't always like that. It is still that generations don't hear their parents generation music until they are older. My parents were not fans of Prince, and not fans of most of the 80s music I listened to. I mean they might have been fans of certain people who were still popular from the 60s and 70s, they didn't follow Prince, Michael Jackson etc So I learned Prince from peeprs.

I heard my parents music growing up, my kids heard my music growing up. I don't have any grandkids yet but they will hear my music, my nephews hear my music, I make sure to put Prince on every time they visit or are in the car with me.

People can try, as they may, but fact will always remain: Can't nobody sing or perform a PRINCE song like PRINCE!!

.

Also, I had to cringe watching this because they chose songs that were not good for their vocal range.
