Am I the only one wondering how this chick who is hosting this gig got this gig in the first place? Maybe she's just nervous but it seems she's clueless about basic Prince facts.....and she had no clue that Jimi Hendrix was on that mural? Oh brother.....

No, you really and truly are not. She is hurting my ears, no lie.

Yeah the fact that she flubbed talking about the folks on the mural was a dead giveaway that she basically got lucky getting this gig!

Boooooooooooring. I expected a performance. And all we get is prince on the phone.

"Wipe each one of the tears from off my face, u put each one of them there" Something along those lines, very Rolling Stones-esque. Heard Kendrick on Pretzel Body Logic remix Cool party so far

From what I am hearing, this album sounds very ahead of its time. Prince being on the phone while they are in the studio is a bit hilarious. So Prince can work with Rita Ora but not Bruno Mars? In a New Yorker accent, someone please say, "Come On, Son!!!!!"

This guy on the sound board looks like T.I. or is it just me? And yes, Prince being on the phone while some mystery person behind the camera pointing is kinda bizarre. Who wants to bet that the person pointing around is Prince himself?

I loved when she got to Joni and just kind of stopped talking--you know she was thinking "oh, and some... woman...uh?"

I told y'all Prince has resigned himself to phoning it in. He's even phoning this in...LITERALLY!

Also--

Look, I know it's Prince, and he refuses to ever just promote the album at hand--but shouldn't that be more of the focus?

Ok here comes the video master ready set

It's cool to see Paisley, but those new songs all have terrible lyrics.

I missed the beginning (Yahoo reset on my PC) but she just said something about "over here is where I was working on the album cover".

So some DTP idiot is hosting a national broadcast? Jeez-Louise, can't they do anything right? They should have someone that knows something about anything.

This just grates. (and I'm not usually a naysayer)

Well, it's nice to hear a preview of new songs, but this event is supposed to promote the new albums, right?

And all this boring blabla doesn't create excitement at all.

What I really want to see is the man himself ON STAGE playing his music.

omfg, that hostess is really killing it for me. So amateurish, it's taking away from the professional and disciplined nature I've come to expect from PP

Did I miss something or has the NPG been renamed NPGQ? Why does she keep saying NPGQ?

For the person whose computer crashed, this is what I wrote in reply to your comment before the Org crashed (again)....thank God for cut and paste.....

That's interesting that your computer crashed because mine did too when I tried to log in to watch this. I'm watching it on my phone now because Yahoo jacked up my computer somehow. The only thing you missed in the beginning was a few video clips of a stage while music was playing in the background and the host is walking around the house and introducing random people who worked on the album like the engineers, etc. Prince's house is amazing! I missed all the Celebration days in the early 00s but this is pretty awesome for those of us that hadn't had the chance to experience that.

oh, to the person who said the lyrics suck....Prince is following the trend of the lyrics sucking but everything is about the beat maybe? Thats common in rap these days. I don't know about the lyrics thing yet because I haven't heard enough of the album yet.

And now we get to hear jazz music that is NOT ON THE NEW ALBUMS.

NPGQ is pretty good. Give me that over everything he released today.

I've muted the audio and have other tabs open but I'm about to close it altogether because it's boring the hell out of me.

She said Love Sex, The Power Generation, only made Purple Rain referneces. I'm ashamed. SHE SUCKS I want to throw tomatoes.

Please, make it stop.

Don't forget that she had no clue Jimi Hendrix was on the mural either.....oh and she had a chance to make a joke about Controversy but instead said that she didn't wanna cause too much "drama"....hard to explain but she had a chance to insert a comment about Controversy but said drama instead. Is Prince on stage yet? This is exhausting. I'm supposed to be working right now but took a long break to watch this and now I'm gonna be up even later tonight because I am waiting on Prince. Ugh, why does he do this to us? Maybe he's up late reading our comments on the Org

right, and she read that shit off his sleeve in the pic...she didn't see the "y"

Does anybody know who the black dude in the red baseball cap was? His facial expressions were priceless!

This “thing” started at 7:30 and he comes on 1 hr 20 later (better than 3 hours!) - typical - but we get some live music! Nice!

Falling asleep on PretzylBodyLogic... Trying to stay awake, but this thing is dull.

Kendrick Lamar!
