It's sad really. Comments to articles would actually be cool if they weren't corrupted by trolls and idiots.

So the tribute to Prince is going to include two songs from The Time? That was my fear when it was rumored they were performing with Bruno Mars. And there are no other Prince songs he could do besides Let's Go Crazy? I don't even know if I want to watch it now. rolleyes

Remember the time that Prince was NOT an announced presenter (the story about him in that box, shuffling it along himself)? I'm hoping there's more to it than this because it sounds stale-ish.
Good God, play something INSTEAD of the same old things over and over.

And if they give enough time to do 3 songs why make two of them songs Prince wrote/co-wrote for another group? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don't really follow Bruno Mars much. Does he play guitar?

Does the Time only know how to play the Time songs? They've been playing pretty much the same arrangements since 1982. They can't at least pull off Baby I'm a Star or something. Like I thought, no one is going to top the Bet tribute. Why do they keep forcing older acts to perform with newer acts? If its inspired then fine, but now its become the norm.

I am looking forward to tonight's Grammys but I am also sad because tonight feels like an end of sorts. Not of Prince or his music but certainly prince and the Grammys. Since 2004 especially, he has been such a staple. The priceless moment when Gotye was beside themselves to get an award from him, even more than winning itself. The 2004 performance that started off that whole exciting year. Of course performances going way back to the 80s but just have loved the fact every year he has gotten a standing o for just showing up. I hope the tribute does him justice. Can anything really?
All good things they say never last...

Am I the only one who thinks these Grammy performances are flat and boring so far?
Adele had no spark. The Weeknd was blah. Beyonce is going nothing for me.

I'm sticking around for the promise of a great tribute.
Plus my husband loves both Gaga and Metallica

Exactly! ESPECIALLY the "Bey" stint that's on now (eye roll)...had to change the channel on that one.
Suffering through this ONLY for the Prince tribute
