Just not impressed at all. She actually seemed nervous. Thank God for SW.

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

I prefer to watch Game of Thrones, Night's King is gonna be in this episode

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

LOLOL. Thank U. I really needed a good laugh

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.

What the fuck was that? Two songs and a few photos on display??? Prince was doing his thing since the '70s and that is the best they could do??? I'm so fucking mad right now. I can't.....

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.

It was ok, I like Madonna's outfit very Sheila E circ 1985

I gave up on award shows years ago, this is my first time watching a complete one all the way in years. Never watching a full awards show ever again

it was a beautful and classy tribute

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.

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.

Well she definite 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.

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

Madonna's outfit was fantastic! Looks like something she grabbed straight outta Prince's closet

No one should ever sing Purple Rain, no one. Oh, the morbid images streaming behind Madonna was classy, really classy. Thanks for making me cry.
