Then he said Prince has a very great catalog of music.
The Beyonce and Prince performance was mentioned.Alicia keys was interviewed and she said she wishes that they would've asked her to participate in that performance. U2 were shown winning the album of the year award for 1987.Bono was interviewed and they showed footage of the award being presented.It showed Michael Jackson watching the monitor to see if he was gonna win then it showed Prince in the audience smiling when his nomination for "Sign of the Times" was announced.Prince was already in his "Lovesexy" look.U2 were announced as the winners and Bono mentioned that "Sign of the Times" could've easily won. Just thought I would share this [Edited 11/26/17 0:28am] | |

Sign of the Times should have won. I believe the Academy gave Prince a Grammy for Betcha Golly WOW out of the guilt. He was robbed! No More Haters on the Internet. |

Sign O' The Times remains far more important and influential than The Joshua Tree. In fact, some within the modern neosoul movement credit "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" alone for being the start of that genre. |

Militant, to piggyback off of your last sentence, I wonder if Erykah Badu performed “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker” at the BET tribute in July 2016 as a way of honouring Prince’s contribution to the neo-soul genre.

Ok, this is me being a bit snippy here but it really irks me when somone calls something "more important" than something else. These are just personal opinions and who are we to say what is and isnt important to someone's life, eh?

Ain't in way in hell "Can't Slow Down" should've won over that album. It was political. I don't argue with people about my opinions. Scram. I said what I said. | |

"I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else. But you'll be sitting there at the Grammys, and U2 will beat you. And you say to yourself, 'Wait a minute. I can play that kind of music, too. I played La Crosse [Wisconsin] growing up, I know how to do that, you dig? But you will not do 'Housequake.' " During the U2 Grammy acceptance speech, Bono stated that Prince was more than a “Song and Dance Man” which rubbed fans like me the wrong way. | |
