We heard it was good...How good was it??? Be truthful. Mindblowing??? Or just really good??? I'm watching at 12:30AM here in Canada...Thanks

Oh,my God I just watched it in N.y. and it was fantastic. Prince was Great,Shelia was great, Rhonda was great and they all Looked Sexy. Whole band was kicking it and they all were Terriffic. Excellent , Performance.

I thougth it sucked. He should have never done that stupid ass song. Of all the joints he has... I was not impressed.
Basically, Sheila E. saved his ass.

He had the full band, eric leeds, sheila, rhonda, etc. they all looked good, especially sheila.

the performance was great. not my fav song, but great performance of it nonetheless. Great guitar solo too.

I always thought of sheila as being shy and reserved. She was runnin right up there with prince banging on the cymbals like she was in a heavy metal band. she threw her legs up on the bongos too. at the end she threw the whole cymbal set on the floor.

great one, dont miss it.

The performance is tight, Prince, Sheila E., and the band had their shit together!

it's good. kinda, preachy. but tighter'n all hell. sheila looked great

I thought it was really good. I wished that they would talk with him and find out more info and stuff. Do you think he would actually talk about things on tv? I Fall in love with that smile of his ever time I see it. ... Sorry had to say it.

Fantastic. The song is truly great live, and though it was way too short, he knows how to leave us viewers salivating for more. Everytime I see him perform live in person or on TV I'm consistently wowed. He and the band are at the top of their game.

I'm glad Shelia is wearing High Heels again and Rhonda had her Sexy Hair also. Prince looked Stunning!! Sexy,Man!! Sexy!! What a Great Affirmation and positive Song Everlasting Now is one of my Favorites besides Last December from Rainbow Children..

Thanks everyone!...I look forward to seeing it here in Victoria BC Canada at approx.12:30AM...Have a good night all!!!

Just watched it. ITS VERY GOOD. Whish it was longer and whish he would have sang more. I think his performances are always mind blowing compared to most other musical acts, but not the best he can do. Very fun performance but not very passionate and intense, but those are just my thoughts...

Just to let you know, Prince performs at the very end of the show.

The song is preachy, but he did not do any of his preaching where he talks to everyone over the music. It is a spiritual song and super funky. Probably his tightest television performance ever. I still like Come On the best with the h rap brown rap over the credits. Everyone was dressed 2 the 9s. Prince looked the best he ever has. Great suit. I hope some day he will do a ten minute 1+1+1=3 on TV.

Thanks voog...I look forward to it...Just wish he would take some airtime and REALLY blow people away like I know he can!!! I'm sure it will still be worth it!!!

I love Rhonda's new hair style. And it was great to she Shelia perform. Prince is just the best and he looked so yummy! YUMMY YUMMY Prince!!

"The overall performance was awesome!!! I liked the song.. it has a very powerful message...Prince speaks the truth man was not fit to rule...

1+1+1=3 10 minute version!!! YOU ARE CORRECT!!! That would rock the house down!!!

Disappointing for an artist with the talent and history of Prince. He's a great musician; that he banged out great muscianship is not shocking or unexpected.

I need to see him do something higher and more amazing than this.

Despite the guest musicians, it was a forgettable presence and performance. And the song choice as I've previously stated was not a good one. The lyrics are simplistic and too religiously constraining.

He looked great -- face, hair, attire. He seemed really happy. But again, this is a low point on the arc of his career. It's time for a zenith performance and a zenith album.

I wish him the best and hope in the future he can shake the lullaby of religion and wake up to some amazing work that is so cohesively strong people won't have to say "Ignore the lyrics."

It was alright...Everlasting Now is not the song I hoped he would perform though...especially if you're trying to reach non-Prince fans to listen...

...this is important to remember...


JUMP UP AND DOWN

... still racin'

Come on don't diss it was short performance I mean he did only have a few minutes to perform the song I mean think about it he is a great artist and his is not on his low point come on the man is making a spiritual movement only people seem to blind to see it...

Interesting opinion...Glad to read someone reaching a little deeper into the overall situation. Some performances years ago were truly mindblowing. I haven't seen that in a long time from such a "former" electric
live performer. He seems to have "mellowed" to an extent, BUT he is 44 years of age now. We will probably look back and say..."wow, he knew what he was doing all along"...

he looked like himself! instead of going around with larry lookin old and played out he looked great, girls were slammin', musicians were kickin booty! and for a minute there he was the prince of old, energetic playa, happy, funky,soulful, and rockin' ...

Even Leno starting bowing at him Prince looked humbled by it

I agree. The performance was fun and good, but not GREAT. He's always tight, so tonight was nothing new. Nice to see some old friends again, too. But I would love to hear a new cache of more moving songs as well

Truth is I guess what seemed mindblowig then to u is now diffrent think for a minute he is aging BUT that has nothing to do with ones' ability to perform especially for a man like prince. He looks like he has not aged ...I guess his spiritual aura is taking him to a different direction and maybe he will lose some fams along the way and pick up others its all on the way one looks a things maybe this performance was mind-blowing to some but to others who are used to see Prince's other side think tonight's performance to be bad..all in all the man is still a genius in evolution...

Top noch as alway's 4 the PROformer of this lifetime...sheila E. getin funky with them bungalo'z...i never get tired of seeing prince's face while maKEig face's on solo guitar...bow jay bow...{jay}->"we as humun'z are not worthy"...hiz suit was bad ace & them shoe's off the hook,white black pinstrip down the middle!

ty

I'm amazed at how hard it is for some fans to rationally assess a performance without getting emotionally drunk.

Love for Prince is great. Being reasonable is better.

Any real connoisseur of Prince music can use the fingers and toes of 10 friends to rattle off performances (even TV ones) that far surpass this.
