All I'll say is (Not dissing) Janet, but between her & Prince...MTV should have thought about someone like him or even Stevie when droppin such a title as "ICON" on the table. Like Stevie gettin his long over-do props 4 his Beautiful & Intelligent song writing skills that fill my ears heart & soul alot. He should not have 2 share the same night with Garth Brooks or anyone. Not dissing Garth, hes been breakin records & rewriting country music history...but in no way shape or form has he put in the manny "years" of crafting quality songs like Mr.Wonder has nor is he even on Stevie's level. Stevie Wonder who is truly a Wonderful soul stands alone~

AMEN to that! While in line for the NYC show a guy behind me had just bought Hotter Than July and was listening to it on his walkman for the first time. I was so happy for him to have more Wonderful (sorry for that) music to listen to.

*Without a dout, having seen D'angelo in a small venue tearing it up live in concert second 2 only Prince 4 "me" would B a beautiful thang 2 witness~ The Soultronics are a deep tight unit that know what live music should sound like...Still would love 2 see Prince & D'angelo do a funky number or a slow jam where they are exchanging screams from within~ *On The One*

I'm sure you mean "She's Always In My Hair", and he (D'Angelo) didn't even do that right!

oops, guess i was listening to dirty mind's 'head' at the moment.. and for that he-didn't-do-a-good-job shit; fuck you, you obviously don't want to admit he performed it at least good, let alone excellent, let alone [my opinion] better than the original.. beat that, haha.

had to get back at this post.. i feel a little sarcasm in here; you WANT prince to get the mtv icon status, but you DON'T WANT artists to play his shit cause you think they'll fuck it up or aren't capable. what's that attitude? i DO think a lot of artist could set it off.. like i said d'angelo, but also bilal, erykah badu, jill scott, common, macy gray, etc. just to name a few (among my fav's). i believe all of these artist have said they were inspired a great deal by our little man and they are all artist in the true meaning of the word. so what's the deal?

That is not going to happen, just throw this out of your mind. MTV and Prince would have to come to some mutual agreement in order for this to happen and that is not likely, Prince was never really the MTV type like Michael and Madonna even back in the day when he was the "it" guy.
