NO YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON.

.

becoming mentally or physically ill while listening to what passes for today's rap music

is a NATURAL RESPONSE for any person who knows, understands & appreciates what

REAL MUSIC is.

.

MUTE the volume to your tv &/or flip channels until the horrendous rap segments are (mercifully) over.

I'll see you tonight..

The award show is terrible, but it was awesome for them to start off with 'Dorothy Parker" and of course, Bilal was fantastic. Now have to suffer through this sludge until the next one....

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.

Prince just like Chaka Khan, Sade, Teena Marie, and Stevie Knicks, (to name a few), have/had such perfectly imperfect unique voices and vocal stylings that only a chosen gifted few can sing their songs. And those gifted few have only a few songs from said artsits catalog that they can perform imho..

Hell yes...the rest of the awards show sucks pure ass. Seems the only highlights will be the Prince tributes.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

One thing I liked about this version of The Beautiful Ones is they included guitar at the end. When Prince performed it on the Musicology and Welcome 2 tours there was no guitar.

I can only imagine what Shelia is feeling right now. I'm gonna surely lose it watching her, we're 2 songs in and it hurts so bad already.

Shelia is crying in her heart but I think Prince is in her ear saying "baby girl channel it and KILL it for US!" I think it will be a good release for her and Glamorous Life is going to be EVERYTHING! I hope they do the whole damn song drop the sticks and close the show!

Sheila definitely knows how to turn up the energy. I think closing with her would be smart as well.

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.

You refuse to admit that BET is doing a good job. Can you stop spreading negativity? We'd like to enjoy Prince's music and honor his legacy in peace.

Well, you should vote. Unless you want 8 years of Drumpf.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was the only one that wasn't saying that the show was perfect. I'll leave now.

This tribute is off to a great start. "Dorothy Parker" was perfect for Erykah and Bilal killed "The Beautiful Ones". I love that those are both artists Prince had great respect for, too. Eager to see the rest of the tribute.

Other than the opening number I have been very underwhelmed with the other live performances, so far, though.
