has this been done before??

a few years back (idk if this show still comes on) but it was called something like MTV ICONS where an artist would b nominated and other artists would be singing and per4ming this artists' songs and then the artist would take the stage and sing a new song 4rm their new cd or something like that...

anyways...

i was wondering if that has ever been 2 Prince...

and if it hasn't then who would u like to c per4m what song??

(idk if that made any sense...)

ENGLISH! not Princebonics.

ICON only had 4 Icon Awards over a 4 year period. Janet Jackson, Metallica, Aerosmith, and The Cure.

More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Icon

They'll never do one for Prince anyway. MTV and Prince don't have a great relationship anymore, and haven't since 2000, the last time he was on there.

I would love that I always though he needed one. I guess it would be cool to see any current artist singing his songs to him as he watched and acted like he was digging it lol

BET is like the bastard child of MTV and American Bandstand. Those two hosts on 106th and Park are ridiculous, in a bad way. I taped shows w/ Janet or Madonna (and have the DVR set for a Maxwell show this week). I just CRINGE at those two hosts. BLECH. BET ain't what it used to be. BRING BACK DONNIE SIMPSON!!!!!

Prince had a MTV special for the release of Musicology back in 2004.

Noted, but it was also on BET, in a different form. They did premiere "Te Amo Corazon" too. I just ran across that on my Apple TV earlier this evening.
