looks like he has been using the song for at least a few years now

let's hope he uses it in the Olympics but I somehow doubt he will wear the O+> outfit


Yes, he just performed it at the Olympics - saw it today on TV. He did a great job.

The commentators mentioned the music is by Prince a couple of times, and also mentioned that his performance of this at the US Championships got tons of YT hits, and this one from the Olympics will too.

As purplesnow points out, Prince didn't want a baby dancing to his song on YT - is he OK with Brown skating to his song on YT, with tons of views? It would be bad PR for him to go after an Olympic skater representing team USA...

Like some others I did wonder if someone from Prince's camp was going to charge onto the ice, take him down and strip him whilst shouting about copyright infringement!! lol
Personally, i would give him the gold medal for song choice and outfit alone! The fact he was good was a bonus.

Prince didn't have a problem when Katarina Witt used the song multiple times for her performances back in the 90ies. This Brown guys just copies Katarina.

Awesome performance.

It's great for Prince fans to hear the music and see his outfit. The trousers, purple and gold, the symbol, it's a great ode to Prince.



And for Prince it's good marketing. I think only the fans know this song, and due to this performance during the Olympics, about 2 milliard people heard Prince music they probably never heard before.


And the kid is pretty good at ice skating. So, Prince and Princefans can look forward to Mr. Browns upcoming long career, with hopefully more Prince songs and references!

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

I caught Jason last month at Nationals with the very popular River Dance piece....I'm jaded when it comes to the Olympic skaters...so much bullshit with the judging.....
Jason is not technically wearing to full out symbol, so if there is any flack shame on Prince.....I almost fell off my couch when he turn his back to the camera and BAM Prince symbol....then The ? Of U....come on it couldn't get any better for me at 3am....I don't sleep well and was catching up on what I missed. Btw I see that some videos posted of this the sound has been snatched already... sad good grief.

How comes they locked the other thread?

It wasn't about Jason, it was about Mae Berniece Meite who also danced to Prince. I cant find the olympic vid but here's another one of her dancing to Q of U.


Who knew it was such a popular skating song? biggrin



Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Prince should write a song for this young skater. Wouldn't that be something?

Would be great if he (via 3rdeye?) somehow gave a shout-out to this guy, like post a "congrats" on his twitter or something.
The US luge team member Kate Hansen mentioned on NBC that she listens to Beyoncé as pre-comp warm-up, and then Lo and behold Beyoncé contacts Hansen with a "congrats." Then NBC ends up mentioning it again, Beyoncé get her name checked again, and we see an Olympian all happy and gushing. Great little PR.
That's what MANAGERs are for - to make sure they catch references like this and make you the artist look good.
But alas...

7 GIFs Show How Prince Might Have Reacted To Jason Brown's 'The Question Of U' Routine

| by Chris Greenberg

There is no question that Jason Brown knows how to excite a figure skating crowd. But what about Prince?

The 19-year-old American skater who conquered YouTube before heading to Sochiskated to Prince's "The Q...rt program on Thursday at the Iceberg Skating Palace. The judges reacted positively to Brown's performance and his score of 86.00 was good enough for sixth place ahead of the free skate.

Had The Purple One been watching Brown's routine from Paisley Park studios or perhaps backstage at First Avenue in Minneapolis while waiting for Morris Day & The Time to finish a set, then we imagine these could have been among his reactions:

Just found the performance

clapping I absolutely loved his presentation! An masterful, energetic, effortlessly smooth and creative interpretation of The Question Of U still on of my favorite songs...love, love, love this song and can't stop smiling, that two wonderfully skillful skaters both male and female, embraced the sweetness and beauty of this ethereal, quirky and sensual song. Jason Brown's incredible footwork, unexpected skating and dancing sequences, his fluid eloquent style, as well as, his Prince outfit and Prince Symbol prominently displayed...really!?! Made my day 'cause I so love a man that can move to music in his own expression of joy and pleasure. And he climaxed the performance with a ultra cool Prince like crescendo... man...so tight. Highland Park, IL must be so proud of him. I know I value and appreciated my Prince Fix sun

Was it good 4 U?
Was I what U wanted me 2 B?

If it's not alright...it will B
Because...even when I lose...I win

All I can think of is when he tried to do that for the Minnesota Vikings a few years back. boxed
