It was my first time seeing this, I thought it was funny. When I first saw the thread title I thought it was going to be Jamie's impersonation of Prince with the butt out pants on. Now THAT one was really funny to me. lol

I kind of hate that guy, not funny.

I remember an award show he made a fool of himself, he should introduce Prince.

He came up with such embarrassing jokes. I cringed....

What a fool he is............. confused

Bitch all you want but Jamie nailed Prince--perfect. His falsetto is even a bit better.

Too bad Jamie has to do the crap autotune garbage he does. He really is talented. His take on gospel music was right on.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

"My name is Prince

I'm just a man

But I'm the king of munchkin land

I put on Maybellene and Mary Kay

I get mistaken for Tammy Faye

Chains in my face keep falling down

I stole my moves off from James Brown

Rip off my shirt, unzip my fly

That's what it sounds like when doves cry

My name is Prince

The one and only

My narrow ass is small and boney

My film career is in a crisis

My movie's worse than Vanilla Ice's


Don't hurt me!

To buy my clothes is quite a feat

I do my shopping in girl's petites

Got down with Vanity, I was her teacher

Pushed her too far, now she's a preacher

This macho pistol and I'm attacking

It's so much better than what I'm packing

Don't hurt me!"

The first time I heard that clip, I got chills from how spot on he was - especially with that scream at the end! lol Prince isn't easy to imitate so kudos to him.

His first album more than makes up for his second release .. 'Do What It Do' drool

Hahaha I remember watching that video a few weeks ago! I agree! It sounds a lot like Prince.

I've seen a few of his Prince impressions/jokes, and if found all of them so funny. Jamie's In Living Colour one and that Dave Chappelle one are my favourite Prince skits.

Have you seen that one Lenny Henry did? lol

I couldn't find a better quality version
