+1 for a mention of the seldom heard 1999: The New Master. LOL!

Lay down a new song?

huh huh huh

Thats just what I was thinking

Well, to casual/top 40 radio fans Laydown was new, but for the rest of us, not so much...Interesting that the Beautiful Ones sounded much better when I saw him a few months ago. Perhaps his voice was a bit tired or something, either way, always a treat to see him live.

I think some of u are fill of shit..

If he was singing the Beautiful Ones with the revolution band

U would say his vocals were great

Uhhh no. Listen to how crackly and weak his falsetto was. As someone said, he may have a cold. No need to be a prince apologist.

He sounds like he has a cold, or maybe sore throat from rehearsing for 21 night stands,

Or maybe even too much fun hitting the town in LA and not enough sleep..

Wow Rosario has gotten old. Looking totally fugly.

Beautiful Ones was a great touch.

But he looks so sad. His eyes speak of loneliness.

I just can't get on board with the wedge shoes. Doesn't seem right. I know he's older but I'd almost rather he wear the heels and just stand still if need be. Weird, I know.

Most people watching can't tell the differece. Everybody watching hasn't seen him 1500 hundred times and listened to 900 bootlegs and seen him on TV.

Just chill, and stop being so overly critical.

One more song to go...

1 more song

Yes, I'll stop having high standards. I'll also go enjoy Transformers 3 and stop being so critical. I won't search out quality music, film, or art.

She's stick thin and her extensions were a bit too long, but still a cute girl. She seems like a genuine Prince "fam", she's buzzing talking about him, LOL.

Wasn't it cute when the audience went "Awwww" when Prince said most of his stuff was stolen?

Also, he's a vegetarian not vegan (interesting), wonder when that switch happened. I love being a vegetarian but being a vegan seemed way out of my league though....

Yes, I'll watch the whole show. But I'm also watching The White Shadow on Hulu while I watch "Lopez" on the laptop. Lopez makes one yearn for the good old days of that Uncle Tom Arsenio.

You're acting like a fanatic. This performance is HARDLY Transformers 3!

Wow Elisa looks good now, I thought she was Carmen Electra.

Holy Christ, it's Shelby. Time to turn this off.

Exactly! dude is 50 something now

Didn't Prince just bitch about bad cover versions like 30 min ago? Now they are butchering a funk classic.

I'd put it on par with Transfomers 2. This last performance by Shelby brings it down to "Ishtar" quality.
