Cool!

With Tamar, DJ Rashida & now the Twinz, it seems that Prince is not "back" alone but also want 2 recreate an bunch of protégés like he used 2 have back in the days... Note that all the sites seem 2 have been made by the same person.

Why do they wait so long to release the Brits performance? Every man, woman and dog has already recorded it that wants it.

I'm guessing BBC America had the right of first U.S. broadcast, which was this past Saturday. Many people, myself included, tuned in just to catch him perform on a big tv in perfect quality blasting through a stereo.
If I could have downloaded it weeks ago, I would never have watched.

Good point!

i totally want that zipup hoodie

aight now..which one of these dont belong when using the word "historic"?

im sorry, it was cool she was there and all but her smiley (im shocked im a part of this) face irks me everytime i watch them perform Purple Rain..the song is a passionate and sad song and she is all cheesed out..it reminds me of all them stupid kids on American Idol chees'n out and forgetting to convey the meaning of the song during their performance..

HORRID!!!

Wanna moderate Tamar?

sosgemini said:

well...I just watched it for the first time, and I thought it was pretty damn awesome! I don't think she looks cheesed out at all...just excited. You should prolly step back awhile...if something as simple as that "irks" you. to call it horrid is just a bit much I think.

Shorty said:

umm..dr. phill, why are you analyzing me?

cheesed, excited..whatever you want to call it, she was not acting out the song..to give you an example, wendy (at a much younger age) felt purple rain during the film...she was expressing the emotion of the song through her music and her facial expression...so when prince kisses her, she reacts in a manner that fits the song...Tamara on the other hand cheesed (or as you say, excited) out...

IMHO, she's horrid...she's fine in the rest but her presence weights down the Purple Rain version...IMHO...

sosgemini said:

because your reaction seemed so...umm well..analyze worhty?
oh pardon her for NOT being wendy,all hail the one true Wendy. Hey, I got chills and almost a tear seeing lisa, wendy and P on stage together again, I ain't gon be mad about lil Tamar's grin...I thought she looked sweet.
only mho ofcourse.

Shorty said:

its not just wendy though...michael bland, tommy b, kat, heck even diamond and pearl always carried themselves on stage with the appropriate attidude....

sosgemini said:

You're comparing a scene in a film that may have taken several takes to get right, to a live performance.

sosgemini said:

That is interesting she bothered you... I remember thinking that she sounded a LOT nicer and more respectful than her old buddy Beyonce back on the Grammys, and how Prince and Tamar obviously love singing together. I thought she sounded beautiful, it accentuated W&L without overshadowing their presence.

Not saying you're wrong of course. I thought Purple Rain (for the first time in a long time) was done true justice at the Brits.

PurpleCharm said:

that was a live performance..and it wasnt just that one...look at the passion that wendy, sheila and lisa are giving during purple rain..and then look at tamara's cheese..

skip said:

i never saw the grammy performance..beyonce butchered it ehh?

They never emailed me

sosgemini said:

Well... it was cool enough to see, but they were both just kind of yelling if you ask me... there were more vocal issues than usual. It seemed like they were both in HYPE MODE (look at us, we're singing together) and not worrying too much about harmonizing.
