LATEST RUMBLINGS?
'Black Sweat'? ....'Te Amo'? ....'Beautiful, Loved & Blessed'? ....'Fury'? ....'Vibe'? ....'3121'?

At this stage of the proceedings it's anyone's guess! Until it actually happens, consider everything 'T.B.C.'

But did I mention that y'all could be in for one big-assed surprise?

PS: Apologies about the thread title, it was too good to pass up, y'know?

It's going to be freaking crazy!!!

Wouldn't it be cool if Prince acted out this skit?!

"Fury" eh?
Prince has a way of making the music match the title of the song (or vice versa)
i'm definitely looking forward to it! sounds rockin'
what's "Vibe" about? -- Prince taking another Jesse Johnson title for a song
hopefully it's at least half-as-good as Jesse's

How long do you think it will take before the video clips become available on here?

Tom said:

i'll give it, ohhh...about 20 minutes after it's aired.

almost an hour and a half or so away from snl coming on (here in the central time zone, anyway)...

No PRINCE PROMO. Any report about today's taping? Anybody go?

It's LIVE, right?

rudeboynpg said:

SNL does a dress rehearsal earlier in the day before the show, for which they have a live audience. Some people may have gotten into that, and I'm sure that's what Zelaira was asking about.

Rumors I have heard:

Howard Stern and/or Kelly Ripa may show up for tonight's show
Steve Martin might do "King Tut"

Also, as of tonight Maya Rudolph is officially back to the show after her maternity leave so maybe that lends even more probability to the possibility of a Prince Show sketch?

Excerpt from a certain fan's diary :



6 am

I woke up early today in preparation for Prince's SNL performance. In honor of this great event, I decided to make purple pancakes and serve grapejuice instead of orange juice.

7 am

I am wearing a Black Sweater while doing a bit of tidying up. I want everything to be spotless in time for tonight. Thank goodness I am a good housekeeper and I won't have too much to do.

Noon

It took me much longer than expected but mostly because I kept dancing to my purple Nano instead of cleaning. I am now off to buy a few party things. I'll be wearing a SNL t-shirt with a Prince button.

4 pm

Back from doing all the errands. I told everybody I knew to watch SNL tonight! The cashier at the supermarket was a fan. He hadn't heard the song so I kind of drummed the beat on the counter with two pencils and he said it sounded good.

6 pm

I was too excited to eat so I started preparing. First a thorough shave. I tied an handkerchief around my head like Morris at the beginning of PR. That got me in the mood for a little celebratory eyeliner and haute eighties hair.

8 pm

I am now fully dressed with a lot of time to kill. I settled on the Mountain outfit and it's a little chilly.

9 pm

I've been watching the Black Sweat video over and over and it's really good. It has the potential to be even better live. Hoever I think I'm going to change into something more conservative. The video got me in the mood to wear a suit.

10 pm

I washed the eyeliner away too. I don't know what got into me. I hope it's worth the wait.

WillyWonka said:

oh yeah, i almost forgot that she recently had a child...

I can't wait!

EVERYONE They just showed a clip of tonights show. Prince was singing and playing guitar (The Hohner) and the twins were dancing. He was wearing an orange suit like the one he wore Thursday night and the doo rag too.

Get ready y'all!
