The Revs and The Time too.

The Time is overseas but I really thought they would make it back in for the show. Maybe they couldn't get a flight soon enough.

If you check the Revs social media they real quiet.

& Cat was saying something directed at Sheila on fb I think. This also reminds me of when the Rev etc met up in MPLS in April. There appears 2 be some camps or cliques going on. [Edited 6/27/16 19:35pm]

Yeah, they seem split into different factions.

I guess that means separate tributes for the forseeable future.

Prince is the new orange... I mean, Black.

I was hoping he was better by now. Wishful thinking, I suppose. I hope he gets help AGAIN.

That's a damned shame, if true. I would like to see them all united for the greatest Purple tribute ever.

That's really who Leeds needs to be concerning himself with anyways. I suspect that he can be a handful.

Damn shame because dude is talented.

We could see it happen eventually.

Stop with the mud slinging. Stop with the race card, and all the wounds that get opened up discussing race. This is not the forum or the thread for discussing such things.

You want to discuss black issues........ save it for politics and religion forum, by all means go and start a thread over there and save your rants and bickering. And don't feed the trolls!

This thread is the tribute thread, discuss the tribute put on by BET, Sheila E, the twinz, Shelby J, etc.......... don't let this thread get derailed. smh at the behaviour of some folks.

Is this how you really honour this man???


Keep it civil and stay on topic. Further action will be taken.

Orgnote.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing tributes to Prince. The people involved, including Shelia and Mayte, and those involved in his bands were amazing. The end of the tribute was very powerful. Even though he is gone, it makes me happy to know that BET honored him in this way and always and forever will show him love. We should all be blessed and grateful that we were living in this time while Prince was here and entertaining us all. He is truly forever loved, forever missed, and a truly wonderful human being. I thank God that he allowed Prince to bless us as long as he did, and we were blessed to have him for such a time as this. And Jesse's speech was also very powerful and so important. I liked some of the performances, as well as Alicia Keys performance.

Did Alicia Keys sing one of Prince's songs, I wasn't sure if that was a tribute to him, or a new song from her? The show was pretty good, and it was nice to see his family there, and I am happy that I had a chance to hear some of the songs that I had never heard before (era late 70's, early-late 80's), so it was new to me; but familiar to more seasoned fans.

Sheila is crying. I see a tear down her left cheek.

This was a tribute worthy of Prince. Every artist covered the parts of Prince they loved then added something of themselves.

That is what I was trying to say but you said it better.

luv4u said:

Thanks Sheila E! You will always be Prince's "Love Bizarre." Thanks, Mayte! You will always be Prince's "Friend, Mother, Sister, Lover, Wife."

And thank you, for including in the tribute the instrumental to my favorite Prince song, "Let's Work."

Thanks for posting this. Everyone did a fantastic job! They did Prince justice. Not usually a fan of J-Hud's singing but she took PR to church. U felt it.

Thank you for posting this too for those that dont get the show - much appreciated and much love to everyone and so grateful for everything

He's a Gemini

Oh! There u go! My best friend frm childhood is too. I've always had the crazy twin peeps in my life.

OMG I love him so much, but he has the twin personality thing bad

So does she, I've been telling peep 4 yrs don't underestimate my girl. Don't be fooled by the quiet, shy exterior...push her 2 far & she'll savage your arse!
I told her the P lyric recently "I've got 2 sides & there both friends" she really liked that one And did u kno in ancient times the Gemini twins were portrayed as a male & a female? Thought that was pretty interesting.

In astrology the twins are make))le/female, underscoring the aspects n balance between the two
