I know that Roger Friedman is a crusty old gossip dude, but I found his column today rather amusing

http://www.showbiz411.com/2016/05/22/fail-billboard-awards-choose-madonna-instead-of-real-prince-artists-for-tv-tribute my fav quote wink

"So Prince will get a very white tribute from someone who had nothing to do with him."


Very white? Interesting ... never knew Stevie Wonder and Questlove were white. rolleyes

weren't his last band members all of European ancestry?

there is a lot of repeats from the othe Madonna/Tribute thread that have nothing to do with this sticky. Just so we don't have pages of stuff to scan through that aren't about this specific topic, i will be going on a snipping clean sweep. Please don't be hurt if your post is snipped or deleted. Thanks

Don't worry, it will be able to be found via torrents within an hour of the show ending. Your computer will probably detect it as a virus though and delete. You could ask the DVR to record an hour longer...

But the news won't cut it off. Unfortunately. That would be some kind of miracle. Make it so it never airs. Great idea, violectrica!


I have no dvr. We cut the cord. Antenna here.

I'm only 30 so a lot of this show pertains to me...

I like the Weeknd, that song stitches, demi, Hoping beiber loses etc...

So I'm actually enjoying the show except Britney lol.
No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️ prince. He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take prince away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + >

Oops. Sorry. I was under the impression that since the mod that created this thread unlocked it -- that it was okay to post on. D'oh!

Hopefully he calls for an attack on T-Mobile Arena. Stop the "performance" before it happens.

That would be awesome thumbs up!


There will be one -- it was just announced. You have to be a member of the new club. It costs $7,000 a year to become a member. And you have to pay for the first 7 years in advance. Cost to view the show will be $312.17 -- but only if you're a member. You can attend the show for $77,793.11 -- but only if you were one of the first 17 people to become a member of the new club. There will be an "xtra" package where for $7.77 per minute, you can stream the show via AOL Instant Messenger. That way you can chat with Tyka and Larry throughout on compuserve.

This was good!

I'm impressed that she's actually singing - and not horribly. Not great by any means, but not horribly.

This is fairly tasteful, if predictable (the choice of song, the purple jumpsuit (which I like), the purple effects, the photo montage).

I have a feeling she's gonna get crucified in some circles but ths is fine. Adding Stevie was great.

Will be interesting to see what sort of tribute the Grammys do next year, since they have 10 months to prepare. Also BET Awards and Soultrain Awards - excited to see what they'll do.

I ain't mad at it, although they could have skipped "Purple Rain". Otherwise, it was simple, and to the point. Nothing compares 2 prince .

I turned that on for the last ten minutes and was far more lame of a tribute than I could have even imagined.

Well it wasn't a total blood bath. I mean, she didn't sing Nothing Compares 2 U worse than Sinead and Stevie Wonder basically saved her ass. Looks like he was asked to join her at the last minute when all the controversy came up she was doing this tribute. Her mike was ON though and she's a lousy singer but loved her outfit. That's my review.

Have U had your + today?
