I heard it loud and clear. First thoughts were, damn now I got to watch that boring ass ceremony so I get a 2 minute glimpse of Prince. Oh well, guess I'll be tuning in. 
I JUST HOPE..THE YELLOW PANTS..CEASE! LOL
i'll wait for the fly pics. 
blonde drummer, half-head cutie and other musician (kinda a cutie too, on second thought) should be his date. 
I guess I'm the only one that likes the glasses...

Presenting or not; it's going to be cool to see him there.
If he's just presenting, I doubt he'll wear those shades. He might wear a Black/White Suit..You know the often mix he wears:
LIKE THAT...
From what eye see, Prince doesn't wear his most 'Flamboyant' clothing, unless he's on stage performing. He'll just be cool with a suit...OR..He might wear the Billboard cover outfit, knowing Prince!
He might wear a variation of that, as now Prince seems to have no problem 'repeating his outfits. It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |

They're on CBS. They were problaby running a national spot when you saw the commercial on cable. | |

Now we(orgers) are the "masses"? Since he's rocking the shades on the cover of Billboard I haven't heard a media outlet mention them just blurbs about what he said that might be incendiary or provoking.

Grammy??? -- do you guys remember 1987/88???
I still can't forgive the fact that Prince lost to U2, back w. Sign O The Times...
Prince's album is far far better than The Joshua Tree, which won for album of the year...
This always makes me... >>> Prince 4Ever. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
true, i remember that too!....never took the grammies serious after that.....but worse memory did he not loose to one stevie winwood too that year for some other award show?... | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I agree, that year was very disappointing for the Grammies. The Joshua Tree is great but it doesn't compare with other great albums that year like Bad, Introducing The Hardline, Faith (I know it won the next year), let alone Sign o' the Times easily the greatest album of that year and probably that whole decade.
Prince has been extremely underrated in the Grammies just like they did with Purple Rain, I mean why did they pick Lionel Richie's album? Again, it's a great album but IMO all of the other nominees were better especially Purple Rain. 1999 wasn't even nominated, and it totally deserved the nomination. I can see why his other great albums such as Dirty Mind and I guess everything else from the 80's didn't get nominated because they weren't such "big" albums like that, but at least his three big albums should have all been nominated and won. | |

Beyonce has sixteen grammy's and Prince has seven.
That doesn't seem right, but then awards are given out like peanuts these days. In my head I know they're meaningless and devalued, just an excuse for artists to indulge in mutual masturbation.
Still, I'd like Princey to win a few more awards! "I'm much too hot to be cool" | |

i doubt he'll perform. the only way i would'a been watching. wait, i'm working anyway. For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

And THAT demonstrates the validity of these awards! 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |

exactly, lots of great artists don't win many Grammies. And what's worse is that a lot of them don't get what they deserve in their prime and then they try to make up for it by giving them Grammies on inferior later work. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Exactly. If these awards were based on true talent, then Prince wouldn't have enough room for them all. | |

Kate Bush, Queen and David Bowie have NEVER received ANY Grammies, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Only Bowie received the lifetime achievement award in 2006, but anyway, no awards for their work on the annual awards. -Wtv u heard bout me is true,I change the rules n do what I wanna do.[Im n love w God,He's the only way - NOT!]We know we gotta die some day,so Im gon have fun evr MF night!Im gon 2 another life.How bout u?

Kate I can understand as she's been pretty niche in America - she almost broke through in '85 but the charts largely ignored her.
However..Queen and Bowie? That's pretty shocking. "I'm much too hot to be cool" | |

Oh, did not know that! That`s a shame! But it says a lot about awards and progressive artists versus commercial ones.... There was even a discussion about Justin Bieber not nominated, that says even more about it... |

Totally remember... What I do not remember is why Prince didn't tour the U.S. for the Sign O' The Times tour.
U2's massive success (and current high regard) has been a mystery to me. Back when they came out, I actually liked them, but there were many bands in the eighties that sounded like U2... all were better. Simple Minds, etc.
It is my belief that the promotion behind (and award for) 'Joshua Tree' is what launched them into some sort of undeserved icon status.
On another U2 note, I remember assisting in recovering a tracked-out (all channels/tracks are separate) live concert of theirs back in early 2000s, and there were like 60 plus channels/tracks... We were able to recover the concert, but it was a nightmare. "He's a musician's musician..." |

I don't know. I was not a U2 fan, but the Joshua Tree got constant play from me during that year or two it was hot. I think every song on it is good, and some are great.
And like the formula of many of my favorite albums, the first side is full of hits, and the second side is somehow even better. I have never really loved U2 before or since. Somehow I think they did that one right, even more than Achting Baby or Unforgettable Fire. So maybe promotion helped, but a great album also helped make them icons.
Sign might be better or more impressive, but Joshua Tree had 3 massive hits. And let's not pretend that doesn't matter when it comes to Grammys! Sign only really had one hit, though other songs became well known. [Edited 2/6/13 11:21am] My Legacy
