Me too Oldfriends

THis shows why it should have been done by Prince's people - they were the first to love him and never stopped loving him.

Am I the only one offended by mama Tina's comment re smelling the flowers while they are still here and appreciating the living artists ...as if we don't?I mean really??? Imagine if her daughter Beyoncé had passed ya think she would be saying that? This was a Prince tribute...

I'm so glad someone brought this up. Her comment irritated the hell out of me. Like, I get it. She has a point. But that is not what tonight was about.

Why do I think that was said more about her daughter than about honoring Prince.

Really she just couldn't make a comment on Prince's tribute without sliding some bs into it.

Bilal stole the show for me.

Not me - it was over the top bullshit

Thers is no way that Mayte should have been onstage.

The NYC Carnegie Hall tribute to Prince is still my favorite (except for Chris Rocks' piece)

the real tributes will always be best coming from 'Prince's people'

Why not?

Some good performances but staged displays of mourning - which really turn out to simply be opportunistic publicity for performers - are still bullshit to me.

Jennifer wiped up whe floor with that song!!! . She NEVER disappoints. For those who complain she was screaming too much and over-singing, she's a SOUL singer with gospel roots. That's what they do. A lot of you listen to these watered-down lil chicks like Beyonce and Rhianna and think that's authentic R&B music when it is not. Jennifer is a singer who moves and touches the soul, which is what legitimate R&B singers are supposed to do. She did justice to the song and she alone made up for that atrocious Madonna monstrocity on the Grammy Awards. And for those who tend to have short memories, Prince used to do more than his share of Soul screaming and shouting because his roots were in R&B/Soul music.

Only thing missing from Sheila's performance was Shelby J shouting "clap your hands, stomp your feet".

LOL ouch

I almost like 99% prefered if Sheila E had her own band. with some add ons like Jerome Mayte (those were the Twinz right)?

NPG never did Erotic City lol

I hope that as the days go by some HQ footage shows on You Tube as at the moment most of it is removed or extremly fuzzy so us Aussies can see it

I did see the fuzzy footage of Sheile E though and it was incredible from what I could tell, it had me in tears right from the start.

But yes it is so sad as our man is not there

Can't stop watching Bilal, Maxwell and Sheila E's tribute performances. Those were the absolute highlights for me.

Not many clips from this event on Youtube. Would have liked to find more.

I know they said, Beyonce left for her concert in London, but apparently the concert is next week. For some odd reason, I felt like she may have had the gas face because:

1. It took away from it being 'Beyonce' night re: her performance and 'Formation' win.

2. Ain't nobody ask her to whip the blonde lace front all over the tribute.

I've had my fill of Beyonce for years now.. I'm so over her and her music.

Here here. How much strip mall burlesque can one do? A lot, I guess.

Yeah the whole show was up at times. Bilials piece is usually up. His piece with the Revolution @ Bobby Z First Ave show was up too(he did Head)

I suspect they all start showing up again soon

THe difference is that Prince screamed and shouted when needed and it always worked. Hudson is from the old school of screaming black women who want to stun the audience with how big their mouth and lungs are. At some point, it is not singing and I have always hated it.
