It wasn't planned. In rehearsals he was just going to do go out with his guitar and then he saw Will and called him out. I thought it was pretty good.

Anyone who didn't feel Prince last night you need to turn your Prince card back in.

That MoFo was slammin!

I was SO jealous of India right here...

That had to be quite a privilege.

Man, I'm glad to see you're joking 'cause I was just about to go OFF!!! Every single public appearance mf's gotta pry - where's the ring? Where's Mani? Is he still married? Who's he fucking? SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!




But you were joking, so I'll save it for another day

The tribute to Chaka was beautiful. Chaka's my all-time fave female vocalist and Stevie and P, to me, and what they mean to me, are beyond words. To see the 3 of them together on ONE stage....the folks that were present to see that live were truly blessed. I didn't watch the show, but I taped it and watched it later last night. So far, I only watched Chaka's tribute and P's jam on "3121". This is really the only song I dig off of his new album and I'm glad he chose to do this live. It was cool, I dug it. Not on the same level as the tribute of course. I was so happy for P that he got to perform with 2 of his idols. I think that's why he was sooo much more into that than his own jam. It HAD to meant a lot to him.

It was interesting that Prince thanked the people that would later join him on stage for the tribute. And who is this Jehovah God? Since when did Jehovah have a last name? And when did God ever become somebody's second name? I'm enjoying the rebroadcast of the show right now. I love the org because you can be both negative and positive. The club seems to reject any negativity and in my opinion, that just isn't reality.

I just MISSED WHITNEY during "I'm Every Woman". Made me wish she was well.....

Very well stated, and as a fan for more than 20 years, I could not agree more. He is at the point in his career where he can do whatever he wants. HE IS THAT TALENTED. I feel so fortunate to have had him during my life's journey. I've read about so many great musicians of the past and listen to their music, but I have lived the Prince experience and it has been a wonderful trip. It just keeps on getting better. He's such an X factor. You never know what he's going to do, he always keeps it exciting. Sometimes he hits, sometimes he misses, but he never gets complacent. He never lives on his legacy. He keeps growing and evolving and I LOVE HIM for it.

I get sick of people who want to lock him in a time capsule. The man keeps moving forward and it is a joy to see. He's given us so much great music in the past and continues to give us great music. For those people who don't appreciate what he's doing now, wait a few years. History will show you how beautiful this music is that he is creating. Sometimes people get so caught up in the nostalgia related to the older songs that their minds aren't open to receive the new. Once you allow yourself to embrace this music, you will be able to enjoy it. In it you see his personal and musical evolution. It's fantastic.

Right. I don't understand why people keep saying he should have sung Black Sweat. 3121 is cool. BS is lame by comparison...it would have been the same ole wack performance.

I'm very critical of PRince but I thought this performance was beyond reproach. I really, really dug it.

Compared to BS, 3121 has more interesting and mysterious lyrics and atmosphere.

I think if the mix was better, and they had time 2 jam on it 4 a while, with Prince taking over the Bass 4 a Bass solo, it would've knocked everyone dead.

OR:

Black Sweat, beginning with an extended jam, with Prince on the synth, and the background vox real low (almost whispered) and funky, like: "workin'...workin' up a Black Sweat..." THAT woulda torn the roof off.

Oh... a wish list... after the fact...

Anyway... I gotta go watch it again, and see how I really feel.

3121 was the greatest, he closed it with a baddass STRONG epic original vibe. One of his best choices on a tv show ever.

A great performance....Stevie, Prince and Chaka...loved it. The band was tight too, does anyone know who was playing bass? Some really nice playing there. Another question, from in ignorant Australian ( is there any other kind? ) what the fuck is BET?

thanks.

You are so dead on it. I posted a review where someone said her new female band did not disappoint. I was thinking, THEY ARE NOT PLAYING!!! I wondered if they were models or something when I saw the two keyboardists over there. Beyonce barely sang herself. She pranced around and occaisonally sang a note, but the track was mostly playing and at times she didn't even bother to lip sync to it. Thank goodness for Prince!!
