Prince was out of tune often. If he had done that whimpering and squealing on Americal Idol they would of tossed his azz. It was still a cool performance, but Prince's vocals are never spot on live. He's not a great singer, like Brian Mcknight or Trisha Yearwood.

Not easily pleased are you Hatrina?

funksterr said:

Disagree!

Beautiful set

Fabulous outfit

Soul Stirring Vocals

Excessive Make up

Bria looked stupid sitting there fanning herself when she ought to be singing or attempting to sing (fuggettaboutit I like my hearing)
Very Nice Penmanship

Dude with the was fine as I dunno what


Overall very cool! Prince is right, Jay is the best talk show host and even Paul Schafer knows it! Wuteva da hell dat ment!

It was a great performance.

Somewhere Here On Earth is such a great song.

Proabably one of his best ever.

It would have been great to have a nice dinner and some wine and have Prince perform some of his romantic music for an hour.

Ahhhhh nice daydream.

Prince was bringing "Smokey" back last night.

When you have to diss one person to compliment another you KNOW it's not true.

Anyway, very, very nice vocals but holy bad hair, outfit and 25lbs of caked on makeup. Yikes.

I KNOW I thought he was gonna break out with Ooh baby baby!

AWE SOME...

I have a "little" TV. I am probably the only one.

So I couldn't see all the things that everybody else did. But Prince was super cool. He has the nerve to do some jazz singing live and even though it just "squeaked by" at times I loved it.

Who else does that type of singing on live TV?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT !!!

What a lovely treat before bedtime, although I could no longer sleep afterward ...

loved the performance..who else was kinda disappointed that bria didn't sing and just sat in the background?


Here's a fun trivia: Billy Crystal imitated Prince for a SNL skit back in 1985

That's the song of Smokey's that sounds like S.H.O.E. in some ways.

Come on...were you really expecting her to sing?

Seeing Prince and Billy Crystal together makes me think of that Saturday Night Live sketch where Billy played Prince at the USA For Africa sessions. He would sing "I am the world! I am the children!" Then, whenever another celebrity tried to get near him and sing on mike, Mr. T and Hulk Hogan (I assume playing Big Chick) would either push the celebrity back or just knock them out! Funny stuff. Anyway, very nice performance and that's from someone who really never cared for this particular song. Guess Prince won't be doing Letterman again...strange, back in the 90's, he even did a quick sketch with Paul and Dave.

Oh lord.

The song is a masterpiece, and the performance was almost too good to be true. Unbelievable.

There is some weird rivalry between Jay Leno and David Letterman right now. I read an entire GQ magazine Q&A interview with Jay Leno and they refer to something happening between the two, but never explaining what, like I as a reader should have already known?

Cinnie said:

You need to research that HBO documentary, I think it was called "Late night" and it explains the rivalry and how Jay ended up with the show even though David was supposed to be a shoe-in to succeed Johnny Carson.
