They said Daves name and the tears just welled up in my eyes



This! I just knew it was about to start and as much as I love that they are doing a tribute, it's SO hard to hear others sing his songs.

So all of the rappers (Fat Joe, French Montana, Future) they just announced -- are they going to rap various Tony M parts? Can't wait!

Well BET surpassed Billboard already it seems they really put some thought into it. They set the bar high hopefully the other performers won't dissappoint

It's so hard hearing The Beautiful Ones with out P's voice. sad

I know sad

It should makes you appreciate how amazing he was. I miss P so much.

Bilal is doing a pretty good job tho but of course no one can do it like Prince.

It was good but none of these younger artists have a falsetto like Prince. Sigh.

Wow, Bilal did a good job. Reminds me of when he sang 'Sister' and blew the audience away, at the Carnegie Hall Prince tribute in NYC a few years ago.

Ok I don't know Bilal and I'm glad...wtf was that?
Eryka was cute and half the people was lost on that song in the audience. She did a good job and the Roots.

I knew Quest would nail those drum machine sounds smile But really, an awesome performance all around to kick this off - usually you start with the weaker and get stronger when you are programming a show like this, but even if that was all we got, I'd be pretty happy right now.

I hope not. Their voices aren't deep enough.

Very very good tribute. Can't wait to see more. But I have to say, watching Badu and Bill, as fine artists in their own right, nobody did it like Prince. That was about as close as anybody could on that song though.

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

Exactly. Nothing new to see here. In fact, let's do every song as it was recorded on record, rather than show some artistry and reinterpret the tracks -- and take full advantage of Bilal's singing skills.

Anyways.
