No....just no. For starters, I don't even want to admit to myself that he is gone yet. Secondly, no one can ever take his place. He is multi-faceted as an artist and as a man. No one could contain all that Prince contains, and for me, with Prince, it is the whole package. It is the grace of his hands, the depth of his voice, those incredible eyes, the sense of humor, the artistic beauty of his words and his music, the depth of his soul. No one can touch any of that, so no one can EVER take his place.

I watched Santana on YouTube last nite and he did a tribute to Prince. He performed Last December and his guitar sounded so good. Made me sad because he pretty much nailed it. There can never be another Prince or one who could fill his shoes. But as far as the guitar goes, Santana took me to another place with Last December. I still mourn...

Carlos Santana is the person that I wanted to do the Prince tribute. Notice how thoughtful his song choice of Last December is.

No one can replace Prince and I do not want anyone to do so. He was unique. I can still listen to his music and watch the vids of his live performances.. Before April I listened to other music and went to other concerts and I will continue to do so. My concert world is a littler emptier without P but not my music world.

That was a great choice and took me by surprise.

But...he called it Last September.

All of you are overlooking the obvious answer to this poor soul's question. We need a Supergroup made up of George Clinton, D'Angelo, Bootsy, Patti Labelle, Sly, Maceo, Alicia Keys, Santana, Bernie Worrell, Sheila E., Questlove and Fred Wesley. Then, and maybe only then, will we get something that comes close to approximating someone like Prince.

That was funny because it was obvious that he is well acquainted with the song. I didn't think much of it in lieu of the fact that Prince himself had his own song lyrics handy at his shows.

Anyway, this is my opinion of how to do a tribute and I was so glad that Carlos did not choose the usual songs that everybody else is doing. The lyrics of this song make his tribute more meaningful to me.....

Lana del Rey is the artist I've listened to almost every day for more than four years. So in some way, she has taken the place Prince used to have in my life.

Nah, not overlooking.

I love every one of them but even all of them put together cannot not equal the extraordinary phenomenon that was Mr. Nelson.....no sir.

Really beautifully put benni. I agree with everything you said here.

Now I have truly seen the worst question ever posted on this thing.

I know! Are we being punked???

I didn't know where to post this, anyway I'll post it here: 21 nights - london September 16 2007 "I'm 10, and I hadn't been to a rock concert before. When it started, there was a girl singing, and that was a waste of time. But, when Prince came on, it was like a miracle - like an angel coming down from the heavens. It was explosive." Augusto Kosc (From a 10yr old. I just love it. Thanks kid) [Edited 5/27/16 7:46am]

From the mouth of babes. <3 it

fuggedaboutit, Prince was a true freak of nature. don't listen to the naysayers. No one worked like that man in this field of pop music, no one. You'd have to go to edison or beethoven and mozart to find genius' that are comparable. People can say Marvin, Elvis, Michael or whoever but all those guys were crippled by their own neurosis' and personal issues in ways that stunted their growth. Prince wore his little ass out for us and we'll never see another.

These r huge shoes 2 fill but we need someone to dig musically ,is it van hunt? he is a little mysterious and his music is often different from mainstream but my problem with him is, he does not get down right funky. Who do u guys think.

Replacing Prince? Ok, 1st off, that's utterly an absolute impossible task to pull off. Why? Because Prince was a complete original and genius in every way. And lastly, why the HECK would any Prince fan feel the need to attempt such a thing?
