what's an anglophone? just when i'm starting to get used to my cellphone...

Sometimes there will only be one musical performance by a guest on SNL, but its rare... usually two.

And I have to agree... Seems like Te Amo has already fizzled... letitgo Prince... ROCK OUT!!

It's common for songs to work much better live than on a CD. Don't sell TAC out just yet.

WHY CAN'T HE DO BLACK SWEAT!?!?

Te amo is cool though...

I thought that Prince was SNL back in 89' performing Electric Chair!

cant wait 2 hear what eva he per4orms. Like Anx said we will all be sittin on the glued to the TV Just chillin in our happy place since we can see him per4orm sumthin.

It's not about loving EVERYTHING Prince does. It's about not acting like babies when we don't.
All this fuss and we don't even know if he's gonna do Te Amo on the show. Many a writer have been known to screw up the facts when it comes to Prince. Personally, I'm rooting for "Avalanche".

32

I'm just curious to see what band he plays with.

Prince performed "Electric Chair' from his Batman soundtrack in 1990 on Saturday Night Live, everyone forget about that? NBC must be desperate for ratings.

That was an anniversary special, that aired in prime-time. The last time Prince performed on Saturday Night Live, on Saturday Night, at 11:30-1:00am ET was in 1981. That is if that was what time it came on. I wouldn't know, I was born 4 years after

I think we are jumping the gun here. If Prince wants to do the song, he'll do the song, whether we like it or not. Plus, this is Prince we're talking about here. Most of his songs sound better live than on album so let's see what he'll do with TAC if he performs it. And someone said it earlier, I'm interested in seeing who's in his band now.

Apparently you did too! He performed "Electric Chair" on an NBC primetime special called "Saturday Night Live 15th Anniversary" which aired September 24, 1989 - a Sunday.

he should do prettyman

I wanna see him perform Black Sweat....

serioulsy you people are pathetic in many ways...

Here is the deal

He WILL perform Te Amo Corazon because it is his first single off the CD (whether most of you dumbasses like it or not cause he sure does and its his music so he can do whatever he friggin feels like doing - you create something close to the "crap" that is Te Amo and we can talk)

He will also perform another song most likely Black Sweat because even though he performed only 1 song in 1981 all artists perform twice and he will follow in this tradition

Prince follows no one and has always ALWAYS shined doing live performances - all you whiny babies need to either find another artist to follow or shut the F up!

This thread is silly.

But then, this post is sillier.

SNL is broadcast in HD right? Will be fun to see no matter what he plays

Anx said:

- Yeah! I agree. He will probably play Te Amo Corazon, but I hope he gives us a great performance. Maybe something unforgettable as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, that even non-fans liked.

I'm a Prince fanatic and he's #1 on my list, but I like other stuff too, but one thing I don't like is this so-called crap of today that couldn't come up with their own music if their life depened on it.

As for Mazerati: You right, you do have a right to say that you don't like a Prince song I didn't say that. Just like I didn't care for The Greatest Romance, I was addressing that part about why doesn't he care that people don't want to hear that song. He already made it clear on the ONA tour: It's not about what you know, it's about what you're willing to learn. I wanted to hear more old classics myself, but there are some fans who want to hear something new. Either way I wasn't disappointed.

Wow! So much negativity on this site. Damn... Can't you just be happy that P is performing on national television? None of us "knows" what song(s) he might perform ~ it's all speculation at this point. Yes, there have been acts that have performed only one song (I forgot who it was, but it happened last year) and there have been bands that performed more than two songs (U2 - this season).

Regardless of how many or which songs he plays, appreciate the fact that he is performing. The man will rock your socks off... Is that so hard to comprehend?

God bless the org.

Dude needs to do something that will match the energy of THAT. Holy FUCK!!!

jazzmaster said:

I know dats right. He'll no doubt pimp slap the non belivers w/ a mind blowing performance. Think Morris and Jerome at the end of PR. Folx who hate cha the hardest usually luv ya the most. They just gotta be popped upside the head before they catch on.

JudasLChrist said:

If that's from 84 or around there. Yes that's a good performance. But he doesn't do that anymore.

superspaceboy said:

true enough. though i'm sure whatever he does on SNL will have tons more presence, charisma and musicianship than just about anything else that hits that stage this season.

Posthumous said:

MMM I'm guessing it's have a cool sophistication and a mellow vibe. But yes, probably a better performance that anything SNL will see the rest of the year.

I like his cool as a cucumberness and all...but I do miss the nasty bitch grind he used to do.

Mazerati said:

- Well, I think he needs to do it, because it´s the first album single. If I could make a request about it, I would ask him to add something to it, like a great extended guitar solo or something like that. And play something funky too, if two songs are allowed.
