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

I gotta agree here. The entire thing was painful, but Nicky and Lil Wayne..I was like, damn, I'm old, but not that old. If my kid had been up at that time I would have turned it. And WTF is up with her ass? That shit is so obviously enhanced, throwing it around like it's something to behold. More like tossing around a bowl of bricks. And J-Lo's "performance"? A formulaic song that ended up simply being a plg for her Kohl's gig. And I REALLY could have done with out seeing all up in her uterus.

Music is in a seriously sad state right now.

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.....

.....and you know this because?!?

It's true

Prince knows what he's doing:

"My opinion:
1). Bieber is a arrogant hack not an artist.
2). Swift is way overrated.
3). Never been much of a Prince fan but I've changed my mind and finally realize he's an artist."

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.

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..

He prefered to perform than accept award/give a speech

Yep

Hate to get up in P's arse but that performance last night . Lets Go Crazy slow like that I think should have stayed in the Club Performances on Tour. He would have been better off doing Dance4Me, Chelsea Rodgers, Acknowledge Me, Guitar, Black Sweat, etc. etc. etc. Something with a up tempo. But he come out there with that slow mess looking like an old man that can't play it fast. Heck they were putting people to sleep right at the start. That would have been great to play at an old folks home as I'm sitting back rockin in a rockin chair!

FixUrLifeUp was good! He could have went from a up tempo song into FULU and would be good. Opinions? Seem like I saw few posts earlier saying that was a bad way to start at a Televised Awards show. And also do you think he won over in any new fans with that perfomance last night?

Thank god you aren;t his advisor

DAYUM NO TOUCHING

IDK. I enjoyed some aspects of the performance. Nothing earth shaking IMO. The problem I seem to have with many of these TV performances is that they don't seem to build into something that significant. It's like Prince says "omit most of lyrics from song, give 'em abrupt guitar solo a minute into song...etc...etc

I realize there is limited time, but packing too many musical ideas comes off as almost sloppy. No great guitar playing last night, either. My BF was like "that fro has got ta go" but loved the performance more than I did, and he's not a fan like I am...so what the h.e. double hockey sticks do I know??/

I have been listening to Prince music since 1979.

I have seen countless shows from every U.S tour since 1981.

When he emerged late last year with this new 3rdeyegirl concept I was a bit weary.

Now,after listening to about 8 different shows from this tour and seeing last nights Billboard performance,I have come to this conclusion...

THIS IS THE HEAVIEST FUCKING STUFF HE HAS EVER DONE AND I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED!

I mean,some of these 3rdeyegirl shows I have heard in the last few days have been some of he BEST rock-n-roll this dude has done.It really feels like his heart is in it and it feels re-energised.

I can only hope he opens a can of whoop- ass on us with the 3rdeyegirl album.

If these concerts are any indication then we arre in for a BAD-ASSED new album,finally!

Open your mind,check out some of these shows and enjoy this new,rockier,heavier,naughtier direction he is taking right now... cuz who knows how long it will last.

So riddle me this...who is that woman holding Prince his guitar during #FIXURLIFEUP?!

I wonder how many people are raving about his performance last night around the office coolers today?

At first I thought it was Damaris but I'm thinking it's either Chelsea Rogers or Stella Blu (the artist who designed the 3rdeyegirl symbol)....

I don't know OldFriend. Prince almost never had a problem accepting awards from the NAACP or Soul Train award shows.

.

But then again, Billboard is looking too much like MTV VMA. It more of a block party than a proper award show.

The latest 20-something being used a a prop to help Prince get attention and keep certain fans here speculating about nothing.

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!

His mother taught him well.

He really made me laugh...he sat through the whole show with me and just kept repeating himself..."Yeah, she's lip-synching." " Oh, yeah, him too!" "Damn can she at least lip-synch with the background music?"

And he's not a Kid Rock fan but when the Kid said what he said and then threw the mic on the floor my son was like, "YES!!!!! You tell 'em!!!"

Such a proud mother/son moment!

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.

Yes...and of course I've heard others say the same thing...but I loved how Kid Rock was the only one who acted like, "WTF am I doing here???" " I need to get the fuck off this stage!"

Favorite part of the show was when they really sang, like Band Perry (didn't care for the song), Ed Sheeran, and Prince.

Not a fan of booing, but if someone was to be booed I'm glad it was Bieber. Is it me or does he act like he is twelve?

sunlite said:

Stop. Prince has used the eye 4 ever. The band is named 3rd Eye Girl right? With his penchant for stirring up controversy, I don't doubt that he knew some people would talk about the ring.

Pleaaasee.. Do you think P has been living in box somewhere?

He knows what's up? http://www.evileyestore.com/

If he doesn't -then let's pray for him.

Did I hear this right?

Did Justin Bieber just say that he's a real artist and that he should be taken seriously? LOL!

At that very moment...Prince should have walked onstage and bitchslapped the little tart...Purple Rain style!
