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




That's because pretty much everyone in that band had played with Prince. They knew how he liked *his* songs played.

Hey you! Get out on this dance floor!

I totally agree. They just need to set a date and get together at PP, and invite friends to come jam with them. I would SO be there, I don't care HOW MUCH tickets would cost.

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

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




It was such a joy to see them all together! So much joy and love and I loved seeing the women handle the vocals.

They were so FIERCE in all of it...love artistry mastery joy pain --- seeing Mayte somehow just made me blubber till I couldnt see.

I am STILL crying.

I just wish someone could go back in time to like, the week of the Moline emergency and show Prince a tape of all this and say: "THESE are the people who love you. Mayte's gonna be on stage with Sheila E holding your guitar. Jerome's gonna be there. The twins are gonna be there. Questlove got your back. Erykah Badu is gonna sing Dorothy Parker. Janelle is gonna wear assless pants and bring the house down with her own medley... Jennifer Hudson is going to rock Purple Rain...


"Prince, invite these people over. Have a giant, week-long purple slumber party at Paisley. Tell them you love them. Talk to them. Be with them."

I dunno, it just makes you wish so hard these people had been able to be more regularly in his life before he died. And it makes me crazy to wonder what Prince would feel if he knew there was this much love there.

I can't stop crying. That was AMAZING! I have to watch it again to see who else was there. Seeing Jerome, Mayte,The Twinz and just everyone who loved him and worked with him was beautiful and everything I wanted. Prince is smiling down right now!

Forever In My Life, forever in my heart. I love you Prince Rogers Nelson heart

My girl Sheila E brought it tonight! That's what I call a tribute. Now I don't understand why Mayte had to be up there but whatever. When Janelle performed, I thought she did great and I was like I hope my girl Sheila tops her and she did. I was happy to see Shelby J and Jerome. All the songs were good and I know Prince would have been proud of his girl Sheila! BET delivered!

I loved the tribute, but I have to admit, it's brought out a feeling in me that I'm kind of ashamed to admit, that I'm realizing now, that I had something in my midst that I didn't fully appreciate, until it was too late, and that something was Prince. I can't help but think how I wish I could go back, that I would have tried to go to every concert, party, etc, that he ever gave. Sorry guys, I don't mean to bring any of you down, but tonight really made me realize what we had and lost, and that there will never be another like him, at least not for me.

Jennifer Hudson....I finally felt like I was at a "Home-going" service.



Thank you, Jennifer.



Exactly.



Yes.



I thought she was AMAZING. Truly emotional, connected to the moment. Best of the night was, though (of course) Sheila E & crew. I saw the Twinz there, Mayte of course, Prince's backup vocalist from 2007-ish (Super Bowl?), and was that Tamar up there as well? And Jerome of course!
"Everything that's in your heart, come what may
Even though his might get broken" RIP Prince

I'm wondering if that was a statement, considering how Prince performed in heels and the problems it caused.
