I'm still bawling. Sheila and everyone did a fabulous job. That is the first tribute I've seen that actually felt like a tribute. But it can't stop the feeling that I want Prince back. I just want him back. I need him here on earth. I just do.

Where the f*** is D'Angelo?!?!?

I wonder if Erykah filled in for D'Angelo. Isn't Ballad of Dorothy Parker his favorite prince song?

The Sheila E. performance was riveting. I mean she had time at 58 years old sliding across the floor like that! She wasn't playing with ya'll. She channeled Prince and it was amazing. BET definitely delivered on this Prince Tribute. Wonderful.

where was D'ANGELO??


To be fair, he did his thing on the Tonight Show. If there had never been another tribute, it would have been enough. With that said, Sheila and friends killed it tonight.

I agree. Was Maxwell always supposed to be part of the tribute? Maybe Maxwell was the replacement.

I had to rewind the dvr and rewatch Sheila E's fierce performance, which also left me bawling like a baby, a mixture of joy and sorrow tears. She brought it! She was joined onstage by Jerome, Mayte, Shelby J, who else?

Truly, Sheila's performance is what he would've wanted. I think he can rest a little easier now knowing that someone did it right.

I think they might be saving that for the tribute show in August. But if this is any indication of what the show will be like then, I KNOW it will be stellar. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be there. It's hard to get everyone in one place since they are all still working musicians. I think that is another reason why that tribute is taking so long to put together. I think the longer it takes, the better and sharper it will be. It's Prince, it must be done right. They are going to get it right!! biggrin

I've been waiting for the streamed clips on the BET. Maxwell did a great job. He performed it the way prince would. Janelle definitely improved from the other Prince tribute. She caught the energy and fun of young Prince, but I agree her vocals weren't powerful enough. It just shows how truly amazing prince was at singing, playing, and performing. Can't wait to see Sheila's performance.

I love the Let's Work segment with the dance moves. That whole performance reminded of Prince. And it was a big middle finger to Linda Perry and everyone else who said Sheila E. wasn't relevant. She sure as hell was when it came to Prince and shows it tonight.

Sheila left her whole heart on that stage tonight and that band was tight as hell, just like Prince would have wanted.



Everybody was great...Mo, Jerome, Liv, Shelby, Tamar, Elisa, Kat, Mayte....

I have to watch it again to remember everybody, wow!


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