Dear Bruno Mars,
Eye am a fan of yours. Eye have tickets to see U in October when U come 2 Philadelphia. Eye am looking forward to your Prince tribute 2night. Eye would like 2 make 1 request: Please don't sing Purple Rain. Don't get me wrong, Eye love Purple Rain. It's a great song. But it's been PLAYED OUT! Prince has close to 1000 songs in his catalogue, including dozens of hits, but pretty much every tribute 2 Prince has included Purple Rain. So, 2night, maybe U could sing Little Red Corvette or When Doves Cry or, 1 of my favorites, Diamonds and Pearls. I look 4ward to your performance! RIP Prince. ~ Michelle #Prince #Grammys

I find Bruno Mars to be corny as heck. Hopefully he doesn't disgrace "Let's Go Crazy" tonight.

One thread is for the Prince tribute, the other is for the grammys itself (other artists, etc.), It ain't hard.

And I never reprimanded you omg

My bad. Drinking, posting, texting. Thought I could multi-task. I was wrong!

Put down that beer can. Don't need to spill it on your key board

I need Bruno to slay the guitar solo of Let's Go Crazy

GOO BRUNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corden's intro to the PRince tribute was EPIC!!!

Bruno did Prince GOOD!

Had no idea that dude could play the axe.

Kudos.

Bruno did a good job. Was hoping he'd go for one split.

Me neither. Another reason to really like Bruno. He & the band did a great job, as did the TIME!

Bruno was perfect, & did it right. That's not a statement on any other tributes in the past.

The guitar, the purple, the lace, everything. Just fantastic.

As a George Michael fan, I don't know who to blame for that ridiculous version of "Fastlove". I don't blame Adele, because she's an immense talent. The song was inappropriate. She should have done "A Different Corner", DNCE do "I Want Your Sex", then Adam Lambert doing "Freedom '90" with a choir. So much better choices than "Fastlove".

I had so many mixed emotions watching Bruno's performance; cried the entire time; half being pisssed that someone else besides the MAN himself playing his song; the other half, happy to hear Bruno doing a good job and not ruining the song/tribute.

Thank you, Bruno! I still miss the one and only though.

Kudos to Bruno for doing a pretty good job tonight. At some points, it seemed like a Vegas tribute show, but Bruno was not bad. I'm glad there was no Purple Rain or Nothing Compares to You performance.The Time were ok, but something was missing.

These tributes really drive home the point that Prince made ALL of these songs/performances look so effortless. I miss the faces, the moves, the aura he just oozed. Sometimes knowing he is not there is still very hard to fathom, but his legacy will endure.

On a final note, the Google tribute (Nothing Compares to You) gave me goosebumps. Very nice job by Google.
