Grammy Performance--East/South/Musicology

I'd love to see him do the same portion of East that was previewed before the CD came out and then break into South until the part where Blackwell tears up the drums and then go into a full version of Musicology. The Grammy's better give him at least 8 minutes to perform. This is really his moment to shine. Tear it up P.

If he does any of that crap off NEWS he'll never be heard of again.

As Prince would say, "this ain't 1984."

The only people that the Grammy's is gonna let play for 8 minutes is someone currently tearing up the charts... see Outkast.

Prince will not get that much time, nor will they let him play only new material. Prepare for some hits.

Very true. I applaud him for doing what he wants to do, but there's a time and place for it. If, as it appears the case to be, he wants a 'commercial' type comeback, he'd best think hard about what he performs, otherwise it's off.

prince should just let the music do all the talking.
all he needs is his guitar and a drummer to back him up.
no pyrotechnics, no flashing lights, no costumes, just
him and his music. i'd be hoping for a performance
a la the white stripes'.. no bullshit.

and for god's sake NO MEDLEY!
don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine
purple music does the same to my brain
i'm high, so high

If he wants a good reaction, he'd better not be boring.

Either way, at least he won't be wearing assless pants.

NEWS is NOT the reason he'll be performing. Who gives a shit about "best instrumental". PLUS he may well end up losing to Kenny G. so ...

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
