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.

Yeah I was def. NOT feeling the cemetary montage. AT ALL. Strange choice for a tribute. Weak as F*CK as far as I'm concerned.

I also wasn't feeling Madonna sitting on his throne. If anything, NO ONE should have been sitting on his throne. Bothers me.... mad

Yikes Madonnas gonna get slammed for that very mediocre performance.

Best part Stevie in for the save!!!

Look at that crowd...sad yes but no energy...couldn't help thinking man if only Prince were on that stage right now that room would be beyond electric...
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

I love Madonna and I've been a fan of her music since I was 9 years old, but I kinda wish they would've picked a different song for her to sing. Her performing NC2U didn't move me as much as fDeluxe's tribute a few weeks ago. THAT video moved me to tears and I don't think it can be topped.

When Stevie came out on stage, then I got emotional. I got to see him live in Pittsburgh this past October and I love and respect that man. He's one of my heroes. I was singing along to Purple Rain and feeling the moment.

If anything ever happened to these two great artists, I'd be equally as devastated as I've been the past month.

Girl, if U dream I came 2 jerk around U'd better wake up and Release It!
Ain't nobody bad like me.

I agree. What was up with the old cemetary pics and large word DEATH mixed in???? There are a million photos that could have been used.

Madonna wanted a "dead" scene so she'd be the one noticed and stopped while Prince photos were up.

If I wasn't a fan and was just judging by the photos I wouldn't think he'd done anything since the 90's.

I'm pissed. I wasted 3 hours watching people lipsink who have no talent except sex appeal. Prince was right. There aren't many "artists" left. This just compounded my grief for me.

Eventually every cloud runs out of rain.

You mean the 5 minutes of graveyard photos in the background. That was the worst tribute to anyone I have ever seen! She can't sing worth a crap. You have Stevie Wonder, who loved Prince, and you have him come out for a chorus of purple rain??
Man was that cringeworthy

Madonna did a great job.Her outfit was beautiful.The only thing about these types of tributes is that they're hard to do after a death.The only person that ever did well was eltonjohn englands rose.By aug they will all prob be invited to pay their respects.

Speaking of Sinead, she has already filed a lawsuit against Madonna for performing her song.

Of all the crowd shots they had, it looked like only Rebecca Romijn was visibly choked up. Rhianna spent the time talking to her frind beside her.

I'm gonna refrain from telling my opinion of that performance for fear of infuriating the Madonna fans on the forum.

I am a fan of Madonna but ... not too impressed .

In short i wasted a few hours of my life ... lol

As echoed before , the opening was a trainwreck with Brittany who - looked to be just walking thru the performance lip syncing ...

Then Justin did the same thing almost .... so odd ...

The weekend said a few nice things about Prince ...

and there were 2 decent performances i would say ...

The Prince thing didnt work for me ... at least Madonna was trying to sing and not lip sych it ... it is a tough song for her voice ... nice to see Stevie but would rather have seen some of the Time or Sheila E or even Larry G ...

Colonel Angus may be smelly. colonel angus may be a little rough . but deep down ... Colonel angus is very sweet.

Wow. I'm a wreck after that. I had never liked "Nothing Compares 2 U" before, but seeing Madonna sing that song with those images in the background made me weep like a baby. I know some people will complain, but this fan was very moved and touched by this tribute.
