PRINCE HAS BEEN APPROACHED TO OPEN THE GRAMMY'S

http://www.nypost.com/new.../17407.htm
... To replace Jackson at the Grammys, producers are trying to get Prince to open the show, according to sources, but the singer has a laundry list of demands, insiders say.

"His Purpleness is asking for everything but the moon," an industry source said.

Prince, who has been working in Burbank, Calif., on his new album, has asked for a fleet of limousines, automobiles, hotel rooms, as well as various other accommodations for him, his wife and his entourage.

[Hm, well, it is the NY Post... so... -Ben]
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

Janet was NEVER performing.

Janet was presenting to Luther Vandross.

Prince IS involved in the EWF tribute with Outkast, and others.

The NY post article isn't claiming their story as fact, it's saying that 'it's been reported that...'

I believe that Janet was surpose to perform with Justin again, but they weren't going to take that chance again.I believe Justin is going to perform by himself. They thought that Janet would take to much away from the show. I think that it is a good decision. I just want to hear some good music, save the strip shows for mtv.

Justin was always performing on his own and with the Black Eyed Peas.

as i have said. Janet was NEVER performing.

So, Prince is opening the show with Beyonce and performing in the EWF tribute?
Also, it's funny that when Prince isn't on the radar you never hear about all these demands he supposedly makes. All the sudden he gets some press attention and now he's making wild demands. Too funny. Though it is the NY Post and they rarely have a clue when it comes to Prince. I guess that goes for most of the media. lol

I don't mind being told that I'm wrong but I think that you should at least give up some kind of info. I got my info from the newspaper, I'm not saying that it is true but that is where I got my info from. Either way I'm glad that Prince is performing.

you can't be certain Janet wasn't going to perform because all they said was a surprise opening act. Maybe it was originally to be Janet, maybe not.

Hmmm lots of speculation around,
Well these things i can confirm
Janet Was Never Going to perform,
i checked the performance list a while back when i found out , now to what Prince' is going to perform, thats pure speculation
he might do the funk tribute, he might do the beyounce thing, or he might perform by himself
i suggest don't try to guess and just wait till the grammies start

Like I said, they announced a performer list and a surprise opening. Obviously, the surprise opening act wasn't listed as a performer, otherwise it wouldn't have been a surprise. If it was Janet, then there could be something to the article. I'm not sure Janet warrants being a surprise, though.

Why would he be recording at a Cali studio?

If Prince has a list of things he wants to open for the Grammies, then how's this for a simple response: GIVE THE MAN WHAT HE WANTS! HE'S PRINCE, FOR FUNKNESS SAKE!!!

I just so happen to be up in that area tomorrow! OMFG! I hope I get to see that, or maybe even the after-party!

Janet was presenting to Luther Vandross.


Luther will not be attending the grammy's...

ps: Justin is an ass, I adore the way he went to bat for a fellow performer... He represents all that is wrong with coporate music today...
