Jennifer Hudson Purple Rain screw ups BET Awards

She would have gotten the BIGGEST eye roll from him...

All I wanted was to see you laughing in the purple rain... not dancing.

Ugh

Then I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain... not laughing

I had to turn it off.

Awful

I applaud them for the tribute, but these acts just make me see how truly special he really was, no one compares.

I didn't think she did a bad job, despite the lyrical mix up lol I liked her nod to him with the outfit as well. That was emotional for me.

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜

She sang well, though. I worried about her and the lyrics because I remember her reading them during the Color Purple tribute on April 21.

Ehh... i watched her screaming for a couple seconds and turned it off. That's enough for me. I can live the rest of my life without seeing it in full.

I agree. Even tho I'm a Madonna fan & collector too. The billboard performance was the hardest thing I ever had to watch next to the staples center fiasco July 2009. Nothing will ever compare or take his place. So it is ever so painful to watch anything. I can only hope black artists learn from Mj and prince's mistakes and watch their backs. We also have to carry them, treasure them, and protect them better! As fans and society around us. I just don't know how many we have to lose until we take a stand!
