Wendy: We thought that the Brits would be a great time for me and Lisa and Prince to the world that we are stronger, bigger, better and truer than ever. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. There was no press and no direction from Prince to let the people know that was happening. So the result was no one knew that me and Lisa were even in that band! The last song of the night was "Let's Go Crazy" and the cameras were on the twins. It was a real bummer. But it is what it is. We hoped it would be different. | |

You reunited with Prince in 2006 at the Brit Awards Tell us a little bit about what led to that reunion and what it was like to rehearsing for the show. Also, the version of "Te Amo Corzon" played that night was very different, did you all work out that arrangement together?

He might as well cuz we know he hates working with men | |

Yes they all did,
I think they only reason I can see Morris is because he is standing below Lisa, I don't remember 'seeing' John at all

What a wasted opportunity this was. Prince's passive aggressive relationship with Wendy & Lisa is truly sad for those of us who were there through the heyday of the Revolution.
His inability to maintain relationships with those from his past is unreal. Even Sheila is kicked to the curb now. They don't have to be bandmates or even work together, but considering how close they all were, there is no reason things should be the way they still are between P, Wendy & Lisa. And frankly, it's on Prince why they remain this way. | |

Very much a wasted opportunity. Disappointing song choice, too. To open with a ballad, that only his fans would know, followed by another song that would be strange to 99% of his audience...
Can't fault the choice of the last two songs, though! "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge"" ~ Isaac Asimov | |

This was actually one of my least favourite television appearances or live clips ever. The mix was way off, and there was something sloppy about "Let's Go Crazy"...
Also, everyone except the twins and Cora looked stiff and uncomfortable.
"Te Amo Corazon" was one of the better perfomances.

The bootys are a very important integral part of his shows and ego, they always have been. I'd have thought it's common knowledge by now.
He'd never go on stage without a booty next to him with a spotlight on. He's just into ass! Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

Jesus. I commented that the choice of songs could have been better given the audience, so I'm a "hater"? Grow up.

That's right, nobody watched it on television at all. "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge"" ~ Isaac Asimov | |

Who looked stiff?
I think because it was some kind of 'reunion' of sorts I can understand any kind of uncomfortableness
Wendy wasn't stiff at all to me, she was all over the stage, Sheila was loose too 4 someone in a hot evening gown,
I wonder what energy Prince put out to the band. Josh did look stiff
If it was me I would have put Tamar & the Twinz on a higher space behind the band like behind and to the side of Lisa, They definately looked good, but it was a bit of disctraction especially since the twinz were out on the 2nd then 4th song, maybe he should have closed with Purple Rain
and the leaving Tamar out on PR didn't make sense, the kiss was weak | |

I forget, but was there a point to the appearance - did he get an award? It wasn't promo for the 21 nights shows was it because that was a long way away, right?

I don't think he won any awards

Prince Still Hasn't Decided on Brit Awards PerformanceFebruary 14th, 2006 9:55am EST Prince hasn't decided whether he will play the Brit Awards tomorrow night. Organisers have been forced to leave a space on the running order in case the '80s pop superstar does turn up and wants to perform. If he shows, it will the Purple Rain singer's first live UK performance in almost a decade. | |
