Well, I haven't been on stage with Prince and I STILL would have done better than Trey Songz because I would have the good sense not to be up there trying to act like Will Smith in Men In Black 2...New Hotness...VS...Old and Busted!

@ the 1:25 mark in this video...giggle

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

Moonbeam Levels, and afterwards I'd announce it from the forthcoming Prince album.

I know...wishful thinking.

i'd respectfully decline and suggest his life's work might be better honored with a well thought out academy awards style narration of his life's work to video stills and clips of the incredible career path of one of the greatest and most controversial musicians of all time.

couldnt bring myself to hog the limelight and flop around all over the stage in the presence of musical royalty, in an effort to cheapen the whole affair, but thats just me.

this too shall pass

Or..."I Wanna Be Your Lover". No, I don't want to be Prince's lover. It's not that exclusive a club. lol

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.

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:

Didn't Cyndi Lauper do WHEN U WERE MINE as well? I remember enjoying it WAAAAY back in the day.

The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

On piano plus vocals everyone has said that my best is Electric Intercourse. I doubt he'd be happy about me playing an unreleased song, though, so I'd probably play Sometimes It Snows In April.

On guitar plus vocals it would be Endorphinmachine, Bambi, Peach, Chaos And Disorder, Zannalee, Purple Rain, or Vavoom.

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.

Controversy.

I'd go with Tamborine : « Guess that I'll stay at home all alone and play my tambori-i-i-ne!!! »

Little Red Corvette, no question, it's not only a great prince song it is a great song of all time. I do perform it and people go nuts, and if they don't(rarely), I realize it's just a wierd audience.

It would have to be Calhoun Square. I would probably do best with that song because it's kinda funky as far as the singing goes. No high notes to hit. It's a safe song, and you can also probably do a pretty funky dance routine too. Take me there if you dare, Calhoun Square!! biggrin

Vibrator... and I'd have a vibrator in the shape of Prince

And when it comes to the part where I'd have to "use" it and moan, I'd be behind a curtain that makes my shadow larger... like at the half-time show when he did Purple Rain.

I think that would run him out faster than anything else lol
