No he can't but he's still better than most of them folk,

If Prince is going to be on AI tonight, I hope he doesn't do a duet.

I know where you're coming from, and that was my thought when this idea floated several weeks ago. More than the badness of the show, his presence on it is acknowledgment that he NEEDS a sales gimmick to get people interested in his music. And that, is what makes me sad. But what he really wants now is to sell this album. And if that's what he wants, then I'm okay with him pulling out all of the stops to do it. A low point, yes, but also a realistic one as it relates to his current commercial viability.

What do u think he'll perform Fury or a medley like on the Brits, I hope it's something we haven't seen this year yet.

Wow! Prince is starting to look a lot like Al Jarreau. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

Sure, it makes sense from a commercial standpoint. But it makes no sense from an artistic integrity standpoint.

When dealing with a business, you have to make compromises. I'm sure this is a major compromise but business has to get done and in the end, we'll be the ones who'll benefit from this the most, if he does this.

Chris Daugherty is singing now. Damn, I miss that guy!

psychodelicide said:

True, he's already had some offers, so he'll be just fine.

I know- I will never be the same!! I do not think I will tell my husband- I will never hear the end of it..

shanti0608 said:

well I'm not a fan of AI, but if he does do it, at least we don't have to listen to all the wannabe's butcher his songs. I hope it's just him--no Tamar and PLEASE PLEASE no damn twinz.

looks like the original 12(?) are singing duets with their idols--so who is the one that counts Prince as an influence--any regular viewer know? Maybe it's this Daniel Powter guy? And what song? Probably something old...

ps. Meatloaf is on now. I hate him. At least they aren't doing Paradise by the Dashboard Lights!

OMG- I cannot take Meatloaf.. must change channel...

Egads, Meatloaf's singing. He shakes like a little old man.

Meatloaf is sounding like hot garbage.

Couldn't even look- listening was way too much...

Ok, I'm going to be pissed off if Prince isn't performing. Watching AI tonight is torture of the worst kind.

Meatloaf finished singing now, thank God. It's okay to turn AI back on.

psychodelicide said:

yes it is. God that was all kinds of rough right there.

PurpleCharm said:

Agreed! I purposely tuned in tonight (after vehemently proclaiming that I was finished watching AI ) to see if Prince will be on. Let's hope so.
