I keep reading how Prince seems so "inspired" now, but (and I know this is only my own perception and opinion) to me he doesn't seem so much inspired as desperate....desperate to regain popularity by pandering and trying to appeal to a younger audience, desperate to not be considered a washed-up, fading musician (even though the man is a LEGEND and will always be respected for his tremendous talent and past accomplishments, a fact which it seems like he can't quite realize) or worse yet (to him) be seen as an aging human being. All these gimmicks and the apparant, carefully worded propoganda meted out via 'interviews' and Dr Funkenberry, the obsession with young girlfriends, young employees, youth, etc...he just seems like he's trying SO HARD and is so afraid. And to me, that's why so much of his current output is difficult for me to connect with, because it's so synthetic and contrived.

I think Hannah, Donna and Ida are all marvelous and seem like nice ladies, and I'm not trying to insult anybody or take away their talent. But I"m sorry, I agree with a few others who said this band falls flat. The music doesn't really do it for me, and the lyrics are often just plain goofy. And I can't feel any true symbiosis or genuine sense of connection between this band, or with Prince, despite the careful styling and aesthetics designed to give them a cohesiveness. And as for the music, well...it's not HORRIBLE, but it's so lacking in depth (again, my opinion) and that indescribable, magical quality that makes a band stand out and be special.

As usual, Prince killed it on the guitar in this performance. Those moments felt real and raw, and he's untouchable in that regard. But this whole 3rdeyegirl project comes across to me in the same way as does an actor in a bad tv commercial portraying a doctor or police officer -- they might be dressed for the part and be standing near the right props, but you know they're putting on an ACT. This band - despite them all truly being actual musicians with talent - feels like an ACT and the music reflects that for me.

I'm glad for those who are enjoying and appreciating 3rdeyegirl and the current music. I gave it a chance and really wanted to love it too, but...oh well.

Thanks for reading my .02.

Interesting perspectives.....

The gap between Prince and the rest of those performers was about a million miles.

Or is it just me?

Let's not get it too twisted.

For THAT kind of audience and the award, he did what he needed to (and a touch more). If he was surrounded by better musicians/artists competing for awards, I have no doubt we would have seen more "glow"/"audacity" coming from him. But as it stands, it was a good enough performance to remind THAT younger audience there is another way of performing/being.

Those who get it, will dig a little deeper. Those who don't, like most, will form the rest of the world. P ain't losing a dime of kudos from THAT crowd, but still he's out there, doing his own thing.

3rdEyeGirl came across well.

And Fix Your Life was cool.

Well done.

This is what pisses me off about these award shows today. I know awards dont mean anything TODAY but why do they have to be sooooooooooooooooo triflin ESPECIALLY when it comes to the real legends

Now I know they let Prince perform last but why didnt they broadcast him accepting his award? Did they even give him an award? but how much you willing to bet if it had been some mediore singer out today it would have gotten the proper broadcast moment? Like they did with Justin NO TALENT Bieber and they even had the audacity to call him MJ and Stevie on the same show both Prince and Madonna were attending.

I just hate how they dogg the legends. If I was Prince I would NEVER go on any of these awards, EVER! Thats why alot of the old acts dont go on them anymore because the awards dont give them the proper respect they deserve.

Co-sign.

so true...I was waiting for the speech...smh.. they wasted all their time on that CRAP before...at least Janelle and Erykah gave him an awesome speech before..

I am at work so this is gonna be short. I was so excited all weeked and my little girl had a soccer tournament so finally when we got ready to watch, shes wants to watch too. I should have said no but I want them to see him. I have a 13 yr old boy and an 11 yr old girl. Bruno as nice to start but then that song about drive your car into the bridge. I still have my hopes up for some good music. I found some things nice but not much. And then Nikki comes out with no class and does a lapdance with ugly. I hate my children had to see this right before the kid. I loved the performance and hope I get to see him live again soon. Peace and Love to yall

It was going to be said..so be it....

My 24 yo son even said, "Why the hell are Prince and Madonna even on this show with these no-talent idiots?"

I'm very proud to hear that your son is NOT a mark to those no-talented lip-syncing idiots!

The more makeup he wears, the more he looks like an old lady. As you age, less is best. Seriously, I wish someone would give him the memo.

Its obvious requested not 2 speak & just play 2 school these no talented youngins(With the exception of Erykah & Janelle who he christened 2 speak on his behalf ) on how its done......

Anywho this per4mance captivated an ending of a Prince "MasterPiece" weekend 4 me. Thank U Prince 4 Ur never ending talent.

Eye just hope U didn't give the boot 2 the xpanded NPG 4 3rd Girl. Eye remember Shelby was looking 4ward 2 per4ming @ this icon event. But with the recent unveiling of ur new distribution/marketing "MasterPiece" deal with Kobalt this year is turning out 2 b as promised a big year 4 U & even bigger 4 ur christened "MasterPieces.....

This whole thing was awful except for Prince & Bruno. But that's what I get for watching the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees last night. Real music, no lip-synching... Ahhh...the good ole days. But Kid Rock did address this issue.

Kid Rock score major points for being honest.

Very true. But I still think it was funny as hell for Kid Rock to mention the obvious.

Was that vegan butta for da toast? He sho nuff buttered my bootay.

Not classic but rockin. Ida's bass ate my undies. Wowza.

Hannah has skills, let's not burp up purple feathas.

Untwist your undies. Nobody is insinuating that he is the first to reveal anything. We are simply giving him props for having the guts to say it at such an event.
