What happened at the very beginning of the performance? It looked like the backup singer was talking to Prince and Jay cut to them pre-maturely. Prince looked pissed at the very beginning... But then he came in with a fury and it was fantastic!

New song: Turn me Loose

dancing jig

oh wow... that's really something. I'm still smiling over here. haha, I'm extra glad he wasn't wearing shades today, so I could see his eyes. cool somehow makes the performance a litte better cuz people do connect with the audience that way.

Good song cool
somehow, im getting a feeling that if that's on the supposed new album, it's gonna go back to Musicology or perhaps granting the wish of many to "bring back the funk"
razz

So glad I remembered to check it out tonight giggle keep forgetting about it, but so glad I didnt miss it. Great job, Prince! cool


cool Prince

I assumed it was staged. Prince is never caught off guard when performing.

I thought this new song was horrible. My girl and I sat through an equally boring and terrible Jay Leno show with about 90% more commercials than show... really, does anybody watch TV anymore?

Anyway, this new song was flat, boring, and utterly worthless. Yet ANOTHER song about how his online fans "don't know him" and that they should "give him what he needs". "Turn Me Loose" makes "Get on the Boat" look like Mozart. smile Give it a rest already.

And what kind of band was that? About a hundred people on stage. The only bright spot was Renato, who is a real trooper to lower himself to play such beautiful keys to such low quality music -- what a mess of a song. Embarrassingly bad -- a performance and song that wouldn't appeal to a person who was 18 or 80 or even the mentally ill. I felt ashamed watching it with my girl. sad

Prince... in all seriousness... what's happened to your skills?

I'm gonna say what I said in the other cancelled thread: (dammit, Luv4U mad)

Wow, that track was new to my ears. But it was pretty damn funky. And it seemed like he had a 70's deep Soul/Funk motif going on this time. nod

Does the set backround look like a new album cover or am I delusional from a lack of sleep and Jays boring show...?


lol Haha...I took a nap and set my alarm for when Prince would start. I thought the set looked like a southern living room. I know that was Ledsi and two other fabulous ladies...but being from the south they made me think of my grandma on a porch somewhere yelling for somebody to sit down! I loved the song and liked the whole living room feel...


True..it reminded me of "Sistas sittin' in church with fans" and getting into the groove of the music. I thought that was cool. I'm not that familiar with Ledisi, but she's popular on the East Coast..

The setup also, reminded me of a scene in a juke joint and the ladies gettin' into the music. Loved that artwork in the back also.

I liked the song. It was good, not spectacular though.

I really disliked how the 3 background singers were sitting in the background through most of it like 3 old ladies.

And the song was too short!

But I'm glad he did something new. Overall, good performance but it didn't blow me away like I was hoping for.

Edit: And who is this "Ledisi" you guys keep making a big deal about?
Never heard of her.

ispear...this is how bands were back in the day (70s);he's just bringing back real music with real musicians. It was too short though, but usually that's how it is on Jay Leno, the artists seems to be only given 7 minutes to perform.

I just thought that was so good, and it was nice to see Prince dancing...Everybody looked like they were having so much fun...

I liked the line that said something like...You can't have me once without wanting me twice... He's finally admitted to being a dorito...And I am certainly not turning that boy loose from my dreamz...no matter what he sings about...The end. cool

If I want to hear how music was back in the day, I'll listen to one of those records. This song has nothing on Sly, and nothing on any Prince song from his glory days. This was a truly pathetic performance, sorry man.

She's pretty big in the Adult Urban field. The girl can sing her ass off. She started as an independent artist. I believe she sold 30,000 copies of her first cd by herself.

I have been a very loyal Prince fan basically for life but lately he just can't deliver anything that is remotely interesting. It's a little sad but at least I have a lot of good memories.

Dude, I don't know what to tell you. 'Cause if you didn't like that performance, maybe Prince ain't your thing anymore. I'm sure you'd rather listen to Rhianna.

As far as him having "100 people on stage". He had 4 horn players, and 3 background singers. That's HARDLY 100 people!!!

I think the lyrics meant anything about his online fans. I think it was a sexual song (Gasp! A Prince Song about sex!). I did think that the song was a little short. But I'm sure the album version is longer.

Like I said before, if you didn't like the song or performance, maybe you just aren't a Prince fan.
