Prince spotted 5 times on Elvis Lives special on NBC

NBC showed five different clips of Prince while talking about Elvis and his influence on other artists during the "Elvis Lives" segment which aired on Thanksgiving.

They showed a clip from Purple Rain,

A slow-motion shot of Prince in the assless pants performing "Gett Off" at the MTV video awards.

Another shot of Prince dancing at the 1991 MTV video awards.

A shot of Prince's cheek with "Slave" written on it and a segment from the VH1 Fashion awards where Prince performed P-Control.

And finally a quick shot of Prince in the Little Red Corvette video.

The excitement was almost seeing unparalleled Prince on tv 5 times in one night wink

Did they mention Prince by name on the show, or how they feel Prince, in particular, was influenced by Elvis?
And, does anybody think they asked Prince to appear on the show?
Just wonderin'.

I saw it...it seemed like every time someone was commenting on how Elvis was able to mesh different kinds of music (blues, rock, etc.) and how he crossed racial boundaries, they would show a montage of other artists that may have done the same thing, and nearly every time, they would show Prince. In that context, I find it rather complimentary.

Go stuff it Elvis fan. All Elvis did was rip off black music. At least Prince in his 40's does not look like a beached and bloated whale.

Norah Jones performed "Are You Lonesome 2night"
great version.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
