Yeah...that was a total train wreck.

I sense another train wreck in the making....This can't come out good. Hope I'm wrong....

It's gonna be a lot better than you think.

When they have the time, BET pulls off great Tributes.

I'm envisioning a hot ghetto mess of epic proportions. He should feign serious illness in order to get out of attending.

Chaka was in 2007? confuse Darn, I thought that was '06. lol I actually saw that one. But yeah, the pattern so far is that planned tributes are done well, so, I don't think this one for Prince will be bad. I don't know. shrug

I stand corrected Water! Diana Ross was in 2007 and the following year it was Al Green. Chaka's was in 2006...lol

OH YEAH, that's right. I saw that one too, when all of her children presented her with the award at the end. That was great. nod I missed the one for Al Green.

YAY! I'm glad he's being honored!! clapping

On a side note.....yesterday on BET's 106 & Park, rapper Drake said he wants 2 work with Prince whofarted

Gawd! I pray they don't have Drake come out and do one of his songs!! shake

Why not. Drake is one of the hottest MC's at the moment, and he's related to Larry Graham....

What?! lol

Maybe with it being a BET tribute, we will get some GOOD tribute performances. Imagine Snoop doing his version of "Cool", Beyonce doing "Delirious", Janet doing "Shhh" and Lenny doing "Wherever U Go" mixed with "Again". razz

Or how about Tevin Campbell and his Royal Badness battling it out with a showdown performance of Shhh. Now I know Tevin ain't been the same in years, but that would be something to watch. eek

nod I think producers of the show have already considered him into doing a cover of this classic. I don't think anyone else but him can pull that song off.

BET will do Prince justice. They love Prince. Prince agreeing to come is a major honor for them. Plus Prince wouldn't be apart of a tribute for him If it isn't fantastic. I'm sure he will let that be known. BET does know how to throw good tributes. Hopefully I can witness this in person biggrin

[Edited 6/15/10 16:06pm]

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

I agree. Not with the same level of finesse and sexiness... Cee-lo could do it vocally though too... Maybe D'Angelo before he fell off whatever he fell off...

Because the Jacksons aren't big fans of Prince's and vice versa.

When playing a Word Association game during a radio interview he when Michael Jackson was brought up he said "genuis". When Janet was brought up he said "Genius' sister".

And Jimmy and Terry always tell a story that when meeting Joe Jackson he told them he didn't want Janet to sound like Prince because they didn't like him.

She only does covers of songs from older artist (Joni Mitchell) or family (Randy). That's it lol and it doesn't help that Prince threw shade a couple years back. Asshole neutral

But it would be amazing if she was a part of the tribute. She always said she's a big fan of his work and that they were going to duet on the Control album. Janet and Jam & Lewis should be a part of this. Its only right.
