Watching this has really made me realize that Prince is definitely gone. Really sad now.😪 Also BET kinda sucks. The tributes have been ok but have landed kinda of flat. No real energy. Jennifer Hudson's Purple Rain was too damn "churchy" and she over sang it for sure.

I think Prince deserved an hour special just for him. The show mixing a tribute to great artist in with a silly, bullshit award ceremony and current Hip Hop/R&B artist just doesn't work.👎 👎 Two thumbs down.

It's painfully obvious that they did it this way to force people to have to sit through the whole show. But having tributes interspersed between lame jokes, voting PSA's and awards doesn't come across that great. Also it would be nice if they had someone on stage to speak about the man. Maybe they're saving that for the end.

purple rain is trite but damn if she isnt killing it and taking it to church tho.



I appreciate that she did not try to sing it the way Prince would. That would have bothered me.

She was herself.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

She can. Just not Prince razz Not even when she's doing Apple's part.

100% in agreement with you. That's why I listen to rock and alternative. There's good music out there. You just have to search for it. However, it isn't on the radio or on these dumbass awards show.

Preach it! I haven't listened to the radio in seriously almost 15 years. I stick to the classics or indie bands. 1 thing that's really gonna put all these faux musician fools to shame is when the vault stuff is released and P can STILL kick all they behinds from the great beyond.


Still haven't been able to give Radiohead's new album a proper listen. And I love them.

Listen to "Embrya." Incredible album. His best work, by far.

Prince needs a documentary. These shows can't honor Prince. Prince was music....rock, soul, jazz, alternative, etc. These shows are too one dimensional to represent Prince for what he truly was. [Edited 6/26/16 19:06pm]

highfive True

Need me some fuzzy love....and yes, I wear clear heels
