Agreed. Should have been the finale.

Except, the finale will probably have The Time, Sheila, Mayte, and a few other folks on stage together. I'm still holding out hope that they just do their songs and not his. Because their songs were his...

Anyways...

Anyone know who the two folks on the left are? I think that's Tyka's husband Maurice, Tyka, and son Pres to right. They look good, happy to see them there.

Omarr Baker and his wife. Great to see them there.


Thanks, I did not recognize the wife.

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

As far as the Prince tribute goes; I think you just got to get the right people. To be honest, the best tribute could be Lenny Kravitz doing "Let's Go Crazy" with The Revolution backing him. And then somebody like Usher singing "The Beautiful Ones". Probably could have the New Power Generation do "Diamond & Pearls" and The Time could do something pre-1999 or even Little Red Corvetter with Dez Dickerson doing the solo. And then maybe have somebody sing "Adore" like Alicia or again Usher, somebody that could hit those notes and sound as close to him as possible on that song. And just do it throughout the show.

But again, I think the BEST tribute would be Lenny Kravitz doing "Let's Go Crazy" with The Revolution backing him, The Time doing "Little Red Covette" with Dez doing his solo and then maybe have Usher sing "Adore". And of course, NPG doing "Diamond & Pear;s".

If this was an after party, I would recommend Rashaan Patterson to do "Breakfast Can Wait".

Loved Maxwell's lyrcis changes: "like these records without a song". Hit the nail on the head with that one.

Well its definitely been better than the Billboard tribute, but it's still just eh. Bless them all for the effort. Heartfelt for sure. These tributes in the end mostly only leave me feeling broken. He should be up on that stage, not those pictures of him. For some reason that visual hit hard. How could this be really be happening?

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

Word is that Spike Lee is interested in making a Prince documentary. I recall something being said about it having to be in several parts because a two-hour documentary just wouldn't do him justice.

Great shot during Maxwell's number of Stephen Hill *in the audience* just feeling the performance and singing along and jumping up and down... loved it. I'm so grateful to him.

She deserves to be up there as much as anyone. I know it sucks for people that he loved and married someone not them, but they need to get over it.
