why would Prince pass up the American Music awards where he had multiple nominations and a much larger audience but attend the lame Peoples choice awards? it made no sense

who cares why? Prince on TV is always cool and it makes my day to wait to see him to guess what he's going to wear and what mood he is in. More P on TV is always great!!!

You should b very lucky and thankful u see him on TV at all over there!! We dont see one iota of him at all over here in the UK!!

if the winners are told in advance then prince would have known he wasn't going to win, so maybe he told them he wouldn't be going. because they'd want as many stars as poss there maybe they said well how about presenting and he said yes, or maybe it was a demand on his account. if you let me present i'll do it.

seems likely?

becuz in 2004 he had the biggest selling concert. Fans do that, "the people" do that not record companies with their big marketing manipulitive ways. That's why he attended.

And he probably skipped the AMA's because he wants 2 do the Grammys and the grammy's r BIGGER than the AMA's. If you do the AMA's the grammy's won't let you perform.... dont ask me why, ask Dick Clark. You either do the grammy's or the AMA's they have set up that way - it's in their contracts.

uh, maybe cuz the people's choice folks simply asked 'im to?

folks can't just go and present awards at a whim.

who cares? I'm just happy to know that he's still breathing. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to meeting him so I'm satisfied.

Is this a new policy? I know way back in 1985 Prince performed at the AMA's (Purple Rain) and also at the grammy's (Baby I'm a Star).

I have more than one TV, but
I'm just plum retarded and absent-minded....I had spent the nite in New
Orleans on Saturday and got home late Sunday afternoon...had house work
things to do since I was gone and had to get clothes and things ready
for school/work today..... and plus those darn demanding kids I had to
tend to and with all that mess going on, I just totally didn't even let
it register....I guess because I was away from the computer since
Friday and hadn't had U guys' messages there to remind me.....I swear, I'm
getting too old and my memory is just AWFUL!!!!

I'm glad I got to see the pics though....but I must have been
subconscioustiouly (spelled??) thinking about it, because I did dream about him
last nite.....Unfortunately, I never have THOSE kinds of dreams,
ladies.....LOL....it's always normal dreams where I'm just chilling around
him....last nite I just remember sitting down at maybe a concert or
something...not a lot of people...but he came over to me and shook my hand
and we had small talk....I remember he was wearing black gloves in my
dream....and he was GORGEOUS.....and it wasn't unnatural to me that he
came talk to me....my dreams R just weird....I have had many of dream
where I have normal conversations with this man....we just talk....I'm not
like "OH MY GOSH, It's Prince" ..I'm just straight cool with the fact
that I'm talking to him just like as if he would be any other person in
the world, although in the dreams he's always "Prince", U know??
.....and I don't always remember all the dreams, I just know he was in
it....I
guess as sexy as I think he is, I think his mind and intellect is just
that much more amazing and maybe that's why I focus on the "non
X-rated" stuff in my dreams and I find myself just flowing conversationally
with him.....no telling.....

ANYWAY, let me stop my rambling.....U see, I talk in my dreams...I
ramble on the computer....just imagine how I never shut up in person!!
...LOL

Peace, my guys!!

Thanks for starting this thread, cause I was wondering the same thing. I thought for sure he would win an award. Otherwise, why else???

they gave him access to the free heavenly veggie entre' buffet backstage. He knew then that it was all, that him and mani could eat....

seeing that purple freak is always a good thing. Dont know about the garb he was wearing. I had to shake my head and tell people this morning that, yes, I still am a Prince fan
