ahhh, What? you're not talking about the eBay fake are you?

It's fake?!

Taureau said:

I love Prince, but that moment is hardly On of the "Most Awesome Moments in Entertainment History" when compared to the other moments on that list.

TheJourney4all7 said:

Yeah? What, was everybody dead? I mean, it was an okay opening, but Prince knocks your socks off every performance. This is dumb.

savoirfaire said:

Yeah u r right but no it wasnt just an opening it was history PLUS almost every award show this year has TRIED to top off that performance and it hasnt worked including the boring as hell VMA's

Not that I take the E channel seriously, but that's quite high considering the many pop culture things that they have covered on that list. Was this only for this year or was this taking in eveything from way back?



OK, a little edit here after re-reading the list, DAYUMM, Was it That good?? It's in the top twenty, Damn good, but jeesh, that high?? At least he's on the list and we can forget about it tommorow.

Well, since the Beatles invading the U.S. is one of the moments, I am going to hazard a guess that they are going way back.

In my opinion, it was hardly the 18th most awesome moment to ever happen in music history. Hell, I think the assless pants were more awesome than that.
(But you know what they say about opinions....)

Redayh said:

yeah we all know about opinions and i have one funny to say but i wont say anythign i think ill just hush and keep laughing 2 myself while i jam 2 lil jon

The rnrhof performance should have been on there instead.

No kidding.

I think you could make a list of the 20 most awesome moments in PRINCE history and this wouldn't be on my list. Sheesh

It was just an opening act. History is The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, Michael Jackson on Motown 25, The Doors at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, Madonna opening the first VMAs, Nirvana on 'MTV unplugged,' etc. Prince is great, but that was not some mind blowing moment with major musical importance. It was a nice way for Prince to start off a successful year, with the 'it' artist of the moment, and nothing more.

-----
Great music moments for Prince

1) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
2) 85 AMA Performance.
3) Arsenio Hall Performance.

TheJourney4all7 said:

Ah shut up and quit hatin'. The Beatle's ain't no awesome moment and certainly not #1 in my book.

TheJourney4all7 said:

I'll give you MJ on Motown 25, The Beatles ain't shit.

What's up with number 5?? Christ, that's ridiculous!

I agree with some of you Prince has had alot of other great TV moments, but I'm glad that E did recognize that performance. Maybe the other performances he has been on other TV shows will make another list, but as far as his history goes, yeah the performance was just earlier this year, but it will go down in history as one of the greatest live performances.

The ass-less pants. I don't think so. But he sho' looked good though.

laurarichardson said:

I love the Arsenio Hall Performance.

TurnItUp said:

Hatin'? I don't think so.

TurnItUp said:

The Beatles may not be your taste (and I would guess definitely not your generation) but damn. I guess you have to be older to understand the significance.



S

Everybody is saying that the Grammys thing wasnt worthy of being so
high, but did ya'll see number 5???


yeah right!
Dont get me wrong, I love this movie, but what???

Redayh said:

Age isn't an excuse. I wrote the post he was responding too (I'm 16). I can't even begin to stress The Beatles importance, influence, innovation, etc; Beatles for Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, A Hard Day's Night , Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road, Please Please Me, With the Beatles, Let It Be, Meet the Beatles, The Beatles' Second Album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's ridiculous to consider The Beatles anything less than legendary.

Redayh said:

Age? The Beatles defy age! They were so monumentally huge that I doubt their fame will ever be topped in my lifetime. Their legendary status cannot be denied. You can think that the Beatles are the worst band in the history of time, but you can't argue their enormous impact on the music industry and pop culture. Their invasion of America deserves to be #1 three times over.

As a matter of fact, #1 should just be "The Beatles". That's it. Their entire career was the greatest moment in entertainment history.

The most awesome moment in entertainment is when P dies in UTCM. Period

TheJourney4all7 said:

Im only 16 too and i cant stress any more than you have how influential the Beatles were to all music of today. Without them we would not have had the British band invasion of the 60's which influenced all styles in of music in the 70s..... 70's influenceds 80's..... 80's influneced the 90's... and so on

Musicology2004 said:

All right guys you got me. I am 32 years old and a female. No I am not
influenced by the Beatles, but I didn't have to disrespect them. I feel I
have to defend Prince, much like Beatle followers have to defend them. They are legends whether you are a fan or not.

I am looking for anyone who have that performance on DVD or tape!!! I missed that performance and I am still kicking myself about it, if there is anyone out there who has it and can send it online or is selling it for a reasonable price PLEASE let me know!!!

It may not be the the most Awesome moment in Entertainment History to you, but to anyone who is a true Prince fan it is!!! That and his guitar performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards!!!! What Alicia Keys said about him said it all!!! Only those who have been blessed enough it see him entertain can truly understand how awesome those performances are!!!!
