But is anyone finding it really cathartic to just scroll through as many videos as possible now that they're on YouTube. I'm hoping maybe his censors have realised this. I miss him so much already and having them available kind of helps, I love the thought of younger people being able to hear Prince for the first time too. Its quite bittersweet, but theres been such an outpouring of love from fans. Its been a good way to deal with the grief.

Yeah I agree...I've seen so many classic concert clips and nice tributes in the last 24/48 hrs...It also appears that there getting a lot of hits also. I think that's very cool. Definitley helping with the healing process.

I think Prince would be okay with it.


It's not about bootlegging. It's about remembering and celebrating his genius.


I can't watch a whole clip trough, yet.

But I love watching the beginnings and then of course the tears come.

It's almost like an amusing trick that when we heard the news, everyone wanted to share a clip. But then we remembered. You got us good there, Prince!

As you say it is bittersweet. Some videos are still being removed today. I am also slightly uneasy if people are making money from this but hopefully they are just doing it as a way of healing.

Youtube WILL HELP keep him alive.

Prince wouldn't have liked it, but the people of planet Earth deserve it. 2016 is a particularly dark year and we need beautiful music more than ever right now.
