 I cannot wait for Saturday and Sunday night.  You're going to have a BLAST, Romera. We'll be interested in hearing about it when you return back home and have had a chance to rest up.  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Now I understand why Tamar was on her myspace page hours before the performance...because she wasn't performing. | |

How is it that video of this is not available on the web yet? No fan has posted, no AI fanatic has put up the episode yet?
I'm especially surprised at HQ. I missed it, dammit. I guess I have to be patient, but still. But then again, I don't really know where to go but the obvious places. I'd appreciate it if someone would orgnote me with a website to check. Gracias! Come here, babe.. yeah... | |

I was a little shocked but I was very happy to see P up there doing his thang.

Good surprise. Great moment for us all.   Yes it was man, yes it was!  I recorded it so I'm still and I can't believe they're STILL talking about him on the news! I can't believe they are giving him so much props.
There ain't no high like a PURPLE HIGH! Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

 I was kinda glad Tamar was not there. When Prince performs, he's the only one I want to see up there onstage. Yeah, I know, typical woman. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Brilliant! Just a great, great marketing move and it reaffirms my faith in the man's marketing instincts.
Two things of note: The AI chat boards are filled with people talking about the performance, 95% of it extrmely positive. (There are some ignorant 12 year olds who just don't seem to understand P has more soul in his left nut than Taylor Hicks does in his whole body). Huge success. Two, the album is up seven spots on Amazon in an hour. It was number 98 an hour ago and now it is at 91. It will be very interesting to follow this. Prince worked it out. As Randy would say, "we've got a hot one here!" Great job! All good things they say never last... | |

The show was spiraling down to into one big circus disaster
and then came Prince!!! I was taking a break from Lost on commercial and then I heard Lolita from my grandmother's television. (She's a big AI fan) and I ran into the room and I could not believe it. Then my Mom called me right way. Lolita and Satisfied sounds really cool live and I don't know what you guys are talking about but I thought the Twinz were sexy. [Edited 5/24/06 20:19pm] | |

Hmm, Twinz but no Tamar? Should I read anything into that?  "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 | |

There's gonna be some claimed "unclaimed" tickets now! That's too crazy cause you know that's going to happen too.I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Wow, the messages are overwhelmingly positive. I thought the post about the Mom was funny. She said her kids became worried watching her scream so much when Prince came on. | |

Even though the performance was not phenomenal (by Prince standards), it 100%, completely made up for the other hour and 57 minutes of utter crap. I honestly was a bit scared for him to perform on AI after watching that drivel, and I'm not entirely thrilled that he did it...but at least he did it on his own terms: no shitty duet with the AI contestents and the big finale all to himself.
Lolita sounded good live...can't wait to rewind and watch the performance again! Anyone know if the AI band was backing him, the NPG, or a pre-recorded track? ps. Again, I say, The Twinz are not all that. Would have rather seen Tamar & Prince sans Twinz. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

American Idol? Is this not the man that is against record companies and how they handle artists??? The man who wrote "slave" on his face when he was the highest paid artist in history? the man who changed his name to a symbol so the record companies could not exploit his new works????
and he turns around and goes on the 1# show that makes kids sign up in these types contracts, contracts he's been fighting and warning people for over 15 years? am I lost here? or did I miss something????? [Edited 5/24/06 20:35pm] | |
