I've got visitors coming over from the Uk in a couple of weeks... I don't want anything from duty free... I just want a video tape and a certain performance on it.

ON AIR
The BRIT awards ceremony takes place at Earls Court on Wednesday 15 February and Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary will be broadcasting from there from 2100-2230hrs.

, lookin forward 2 it

Well...I hope some of my UK folks will record the broadcast...Share the love people...

Perhaps Paul Weller will tram up with Prince and The Revolution to play some old Style Council numbers spliced up with bits of funky guitar.

Just a thought.

Perhaps I shouldn't join the NPGMC after all

Just a brief update between about 4,000 phone calls today.

Prince has yet to decide if he'll be playing tomorrow night after the brits but will hopefully make a decision later today.

Sorry to not give any firm news but the record company are waiting on the little fella himself right now.

Don't be surprised if he bails out...let's hope for the best...

You can listen to it live here:

I really don't know... should I tune in? Or rather wait for the TV footage. Would be more exciting, I guess.

for the love of god hope he plays black sweat then end with fury.
Black sweat will wow everyone!!

They are called The Brits beacuse they were sponsored by the Brittania Music Club, the name stuck even after sponsorship changed to Mastercard.

Just been listening to Radio 1, according to them Prince will be playing, and will be rehearsing all day tomorrow on a closed set. The Kaiser Chiefs were also on and said they were opening the show...watch this space

P.S. Wow, this is great news! I'm sure I'll be able to see the performance on a certain website, prob within minutes of it airing, so I won't miss a thing (unless, of course, not all of his performance is televised! )

so true, even if he only plays 2 they'll probly only show 1

Its been awhile but I remember ABC carring the show both times late at night.

Does anyone really think that 95% of the British public will have a bloody clue as to who Wendy, Lisa and Sheila E are? If he gets up there with them it'll be damn stupid. Lets face facts - the majority of the kids watching today won't even know who Prince is!!!

I am filled with envy! My dad's going and neglected to get me a ticket even though he could. THIS IS PRINCE, DAD! MY JESUS.

Shockamattica said:

All the more reason to perform then! Don't u think?

BBC RADIO 1 WEBSITE NEWS:
Brits rehearsals underway
Despite rumours in the papers, Prince WILL be performing at the Brits and he's rehearsing all day tomorrow. Chris Martin called in on Moyles today on his way to rehearsals and let this slip: "Our next record is going to be a lot better and I know because it's written."

BananaCologne said:

What makes you think he won't do a medley? In fact, when was the last time he didn't play a medley on an awards show?

Spookymuffin said:

Knock, knock! Anbody home?

lets just hope he rocks london snl style

Shockamattica said:

Prince has won BRITs 6 times - I believe they will remember him! no-one has won best international male for 6 times - even not MJ, who has sold very well in UK and certainly has been popular in UK (remember 7 sold out Wembley shows)

Shockamattica said:

You underestimate the Brits. They were there for Prince when most of mainstream America wasn't. Why do you think he didn't tour with Sign O The Times here in the states?


M

Yes. i remember that he won many times in the 90`s.
And he had so many sold out shows in the uk, especially
in London.
I think earls court like 10 times or so ??
I´ve been 2 times in the uk for Prince shows:
Act 2 in wembley stadium 1993 and the gold experience tour 95.
That was fantastic!!!
So the uk loves Prince...

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Probably the same reason he didn't tour it in Britain...

Bad example. I think Europeans in general "get" Prince more than mainstream America.

I agreed. UK folks I encountered have broader taste of music than americans. Sad but true. I can talk to them about new jack and funk era that I found impossible to do with some folks here. I also noticed that they are the ones who have websites dedicated to rare funk and new jack swing so I give them props. I have yet to find a new jack and rare funk site owed by American. And I thought that Lisa and Wendy had a decent following in UK?
so therefore you all deserved a special treat as Prince suppose to perform at the Brits Awards. I am feeling jealous a bit that Prince isn't going to perform here in the states.
