[b]Prince was supposed to be honored on Mtv Icon.
He was next on the list after Janet which was in 2001.

I don't know what happened. Icon is a show where Mtv takes an hour to honor aartist or group since they spent decades of work on their career. They have other artists or groups sing that artist or group's songs. It lasts 1 hour,

They need to get on this shit RIGHT AWAY!!!!!

I haven't seen a new Icon since Metallica, have they done anymore?
I also heard Motley were up for consideration.

Back in 2001 Prince woulda been bitchin' all through the show
about those people performing his songs.

Janet was up there, boppin her head, snaping her fingers and
all that. Prince would have sat there giving the performers
the evil eye man.

If anybody would ask him what he thought of the first cover:

"nah, it was ok, but nothing special. the song was perfect
to begin with. why do you want to do it live? what do you gain
from that? should I write you a new song?
besides, are you gonna pay me for doing my song on national
television? do you know how many cents I get paid on te dollar?
do you own your master?
have y'all met Larry yet? he's dying to play a 25 minute solo
on da bazzzz


cut to commercial

I have already seen that show.

And he'd be right... Watching all those no talent ho's and wankers, who MTV would dig up to try to cover his songs, (you know MTV isn't about music and musicians but rather "hip" and "flavour of the week" products...) would be kind of embarassing and lame to watch...

They'd would have "good charlotte" doing "Bambi", thus forcing me
to poop in an envelope and send it to MTV's Head-of-shitty-programs

no, they shouldn't.

'Nuff said.

Wait, not yet.



Okay, now 'nuff said.

You guys are both wrong. Anytime I can see Prince's fine ass I don't care what the circumstances around it are.

you know I was thinking the show would be a good idea
UNTIL I read this and thought of all the people they would have performing


No thank you

That made me laugh!

FunkMistress said:

but seriously krystal, if you're all for seeing prince on some spaz-job of a television program/network, all's lost.

FunkMistress said:

oh and

[b]Good Charlotte doing Prince??? Ewwww!!!

I always thought he would be next but they chose drunk ass Aerosmith and Metalica over Prince how shitty of them

Bottom line - MTV could care less about a TALENTED artist like Prince.

So true! Just look at who've they've given Icon status to in the past

I think I can do without Prince being an MTV Icon.

I think Prince actually turned them down.

I've seen the Aerosmith show - majorly pretty lame, but Shakira's performance (I think it was "Dude looks like a lady") was the bomb. Steven Tyler possibly thought "If I have to die, why not right now" when she shook her ass right in front of his face (or he just had some problems hiding his erection...).

Anyway, as far as I know, Prince likes Aerosmith. Back in 1994, MTV European Music Awards (he performed "Peach"), he said "Peace to George Michael, peace to Aerosmith... and death to Prince" (does this man ever watch old tapes of himself???).

Back to topic: Some good performers (Sananda, Alicia Keys, Angie Stone etc.) doin' his stuff - great! The usual suspects (Usher, J.Lo, Ashlee S. etc.) - horrible!

And: before they do this "icon" stuff, they just should get rid of these stupid "with Paris Hilton in Oklahoma"-like shows and just play some videos of the dude instead!!!

Drop Ashlee and J.Ho and it would be all good

Krystal666 said:

HELLO!

i'm not excited at the thought of anyone getting on stage singing Prince's songs except the man himself. I've already seen too many bad Luther and Aretha tribute shows

Now that you mention it...seeing Pink doing Rasberry Beret, Wsher doing When doves cry, Christina Agularia doing Sexy M.F.....that might be .....well..how do I put this?.....
