My all-time favorite Prince award show performance would have to be "Sign O The Times"/"Play In The Sunshine" at the MTV Awards. Complete with Sheila's drumline.

Hope he rocks a similar kinda energy on Sunday.

Go Prince, GO!

I've gotta say, considering that the general public hasn't heard from Prince since 1995 or so, it's a HUGE win for him to get on the Grammies. Regardless of being nominated for best instrumental album, he's got no label pushing to get him on the show, no visible PR firm doing work for him, an official website that you can't even get into without joining for $25, and he still gets high billing. Pretty amazing.

This Is GREAT!!! I Can't Wait Untill Sunday Just 2 C Prince!!! I Mean I Freakin Screamed Just Cin Him On The Commercial!!!

OH yeah. That's my favorite award show moment, bar none. Wish I had a better copy of it than my 16-year-old VHS tape...but unfortunately MTV only seems to remember the assless pants from 1991 when they replay stuff from old VMAs.

Can't wait to see Prince my rec. button is already ready.lol

Okay, this is how I'd like to see it go down...

Start off w/ the band very subdued...playing something from N.E.W.S. Do that for about 20-30 seconds, maybe up to a couple of minutes, depending on how much time they have...then...

WHAM...right into something mindblowing. Just completely uncork and throw it down like only Prince can.

You see, he's there 'cause he's nominated for N.E.W.S., so he's gotta drop a bit of that, but that doesn't mean he's gotta stay there the entire time.

Just my That's how I'd like to see it go down, but, I know that what will happen will happen. It's Prince and I'll be watching, regardless.

That's great!!! I look so forward to seeing him perform! I was surprised when it was announced on a commercial. But I wonder what Prince will come up with to shock the world like these other 'pop' icons...HaHa

What about Australia?

They are bradcasting this on Channel 7 next monday night between 11pm - 1 am (2 hour show)

In previous years, Grammy's have been like 3 and half hours +, so it makes me think Channel 7 will show an edited version (lets just pray that they don't cut out the Prince performance)

about time he is doing a grammy show!!!

Not sure what he'll perform, only P and The NPG knows...and I'm sure it will be off the hook, when I saw that commerical, I dropped my plate of food and the phone to run around the house screaming like a lil 13 year old girl...and boy did my parents think i was crazy LOL
and i'm now 25 years old!!!

PRINCE Is coming back to mainstream!!!

Don't 4get 2 Listen 2 Prince & Learn
J.S.

Hmmm...Did u all see the Newswatch in the upper left corner on the Grammys site? Clive Davis has been "promoted" to chairman and CEO of BMG North America, in which he'll oversee ARISTA, J, RCA, and Jive record labels as well as BMG Distribution...Could this mean a new collaboration??

can this be true...He will blow the place apart...they better put him on last so that everyone else doesnt look shit...cant wait

For me, this has no relevance to how his music is appreciated. In fact, I feel a bit dissapointed that he may have more spot light on him.

The world of spot light shows up so much crap. I hope he remains full of integrity.

Ya know I'll be watchin'...

he should do something blistering and rocking!

It's official Prince will perform a raw funky live version of 'Jughead' with the long awaited return of Tony M and The Gameboiyz.

O yeah..

This is great news and can't wait 2 C it.

Prince is gonna blow away every1 else at the Grammys... and thats a fact.

Prince is also the favorite artist of some of these major performers such as Pharrell, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake (1 of his favorites), OutKast.

And Parliament is there, so P will definately enjoy that... and so will .

Eye'm tapin' it!!!

Everyone, he is going to perforom Musicology.. That would only make sense. Performers will not play something 15 years old.. Something coming out to promote a new record..

...hmmm...

Where Do U Spend Ur SUNdays?

Since he's nominated for NEWS, then it'll probably be something from NEWS. There are lots of unsold copies of it in record stores that need to move.

I guess it could also be some 20th Anniversary of Purple Rain medley... in which case I hope the Revolution DO NOT join him onstage (he's not good enough for them after his absence from The Family Jamm). I also hope that Sheila E stays the hell away from that stage.

My best bet is that the song he does will be something new, something that the masses won't like, something that will forever label Prince as "irrelevant."

Madeupname, The family jam is over.Get over it. Prince and Sheila will always be cool. And if Prince is so irrelavent why don't you go to the Britany spears sight you dope.

ALRIGHT PRINCEE!!! WHWWOOO! I can turn the tv on and call my friend and say (Get over here prince is on the tv right now!!!)

See u in the Purple Rain

WHUT!

i was thinking along the same lines, joy. start off nice, slow but funky with NEWS, then unleash the funk and rock guitar... like some Calhoun Square. then slow it down for the ladies with Shhh, and end it with some gett-off-your-seat dancing like Family Name.

- I dont remember his performance with the Revolution and I don´t care about Revolution at all. But I hope he does a performance with the same passion as of the Revolution days. I don´t think he will have the guts to play some instrumental music (he is nominated because of an instrumental album) but I hope he doesn´t play hits like Raspberry Beret
I wish he could perform a hot guitar solo

MadeUpName said:

- I hope not too...it probably won´t happen. But I hope this performance is great, even if the masses don´t like. It´s about time to Prince to have a new audience. To leave the teenagers and reach the same audience of people like Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc. I mean, to receive respect for those who appreciate good music.
