Uggg, Stevie sounded horribe. NO ONE should sing "Purple Rain". NC2U was enough, and did well.

Nothing insulting.

The quiet bridge was great and the last lyric got me.

Horrible show and very weak tribute. Billboard should be ashamed of themselves. I'm never watch that award show again.

Personally, they can have this BS. It's the most uninspring tripe...I'm even beginning to wonder, did Prince spoil me forever to other music? But then I realize, no, there is other music out there that I feel when I hear it. It's just that now it's inconsistent, whereas it used to be that I'd hear something that srtuck me from other artists all the time. But this crap...my son even asked "who is this daddy, they stink!" when DNCE was playing, and I felt embarrassed for Gwen Stefani. She looked so plastic and sounded even more so. I remember seeing her with No Doubt back in the day and thinking, damn, her presense is awesome. Now, she's just a part of Hollywood.

I would much rather see a tribute put together by people that know Prince intimately; musicians that worked with him, peopel that worked with/for him, etc.

I also think Prince has ruined me for all other music...and every time I suffer through one of these terrible awards shows I'm certain of it.

Again, I didn't think it was horrible, but it did seem awfully tacked on - sort of "a big music star died, we have to do something."

Don't fret, it's a second-rate awards show. We really shouldn't have expected that much or be that upset about it.

Questlove was the only one who I believed loved Prince. The cemetary montage behind HasBeen during the "tribute" was so hurtful. Really ?? .... I'll never watch these award shows again.

Everything you think is true

Well she definitely gave it some thought and was moved to tears when doing Nothing Compares. They brought Stevie out and closed with Purple Rain but only sung the chorus. No guitar solo...they could have left that off.

Madonna loved some Prince but yes I would have rather seen someone else. Oh well she was fine but I wanted more.

My wife liked it

Love the suit, Madonna did a good job...yes it was short but it was to the point. I bet a lot of folks will never be satisfied who does a tribute, I'm just glad after a month I can still read people positive comments a month later after his passing. She was nervous as hell as I could see her hands shaking. Was this mind blowing...nope....was it a good job, for me yup. The pictures made me cry and opened up a still evident wound that dwells deep in my heart. I personally love Madonna just as much as I love Prince and MJ, I was ok with her doing a tribute because it was her, MJ and Prince totally killing it in my young adult life. Now she is literally the only one left and I'm going to hope she lives long enough to enjoy her life and her children. Now getting back to that suit...where the hell did Madonna get thighs that big? She looked awesome!

Does the last part get cut off by the 10 o'clock news?!? If it runs long?_?!? They better not save this for last. What gets preempted?!?


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!

Funny you said that. My internet went down 3 times in the last 15 mins. Coulda been worse. Prince respected Stevie. Thankfully no greatest hits revue montage thingy.

Brand new boogie without the hero.

Was it the best Prince tribute?......er no, but I give it a solid B, the song choice was very predictable.
