Let's say YOU are asked to perform at a tribute for Prince

I'm guessing the performers at the BET show picked their own songs, except maybe Patti. So if they did, they pretty much all made huge mistakes. But, maybe it's harder than it looks, so...

Assuming you can play and/or sing, what would YOU choose?

The Prince song I can perform best is "Strange Relationship" so that is what I will choose when they call me.

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

I can do the vocals on N.E.W.S. Outside of that, I would be laughed off the stage.

When You Were Mine - although, like When I Was Your Girlfriend, the lyrics are tough to re-write for a woman to sing.

In which case, maybe How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I would never do it. I hate to see people perform Prince songs, hence me being probably the only Prince fan that did not watch BET last night.

I'd have played "Something In The Water Does Not Compute" until I ran his ass up out of there...like Appolonia running out on "Darlin' Nikki"! wink

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Oh, I don't know about that. Ani DiFranco did a WONDERFUL job performing When You Were Mine! She slowed the temp down greatly (made it a beautiful slow song) and had Maceo performing right behind her. Have you heard it? Check it out below:
