I won't mention any names but someone on FB who has been involved with set up and rehearsals all week said to be sure to catch the half-time show. And to be sure to record it because we'll want to see it more than once and said we won't be sorry we did. Now I'm no football fan but I will be recording the whole thing to ensure I don't miss whatever is coming.

When I was at the DMV today there was a tease on some channel with JT saying/not saying he was doing a Prince song.

This is exactly what I feared when he died. I am waiting for Prince music being the backdrop to fast food places, toothpaste, soda, even animal commercials oh and travel ads.

Seeing him at the end emphasis the feeling to me and all the Superbowl stuff using Prince hurts and rips off the bandaid. Prince is gone yes but is that a reason to use his image and integrity in all things.

.

If it is Prince remaining relevant there are various ways of using his music in soundtracks to movies, shows, etc. not commercials. Sorry but I see this circus differently. i am not feeling the love. I am not feeling any respect of Prince.

At first I thought it was ok, very cheesy but if it gets people singing the song and then going and picking up the Prince original then that’s cool. But then it got to the part in the mortuary with the tag on the toe and them singing “Maybe it’s cos we’re all gonna die”. I stopped watching it right there. I know it sounds silly but it just seemed a bit disrespectful singing that Prince song to a body on the slab given what happened.

.

Yeah, that through me for a loop... I started to get choked up when I saw that.

According to TMZ there's gonna be a Prince hologram.. http://m.tmz.com/#2018/02...e-secrets/

Isn't that one thing we pretty much universally agree on? No Prince hologram! Ever!!

It's just a matter of time before they use 'Little Red Corvette' for a car commercial featuring.....yep, a red corvette!

I suppose. Made me cringe though.

Cringeworthy...getting too close for comfort...please don’t use Prince music to slog products! I will never forgive the Family if his music shows up to sell crap.

NONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was cool and fun. Be glad that the song was used and the man remembered. Would also assume that the estate gets something for licensing the song? So, all good here.

"Be glad that the song was used and the man remembered?".........I don't think so, because to his fans, the man songs will "always" be used and he will "always" be remembered!

Hmm I wonder what song he’s going to sing...

I have no interest in JT doing a Prince song just because I am the petty person who remembers JT dissing Prince over the years.

.

I do not want a hologram of Prince singing or dancing with JT either.

.

This is wrong and disrespectful to the man Prince was and messy.

Did you all forget Prince put out a press release about his music being available for commercials, TV shows, movies, etc?

You remind me of Eeyore

Someone asked Andy Allo on her instagram how she felt about the Prince hologram :-

.

Ummm, NO.

OMG, that promo makes my white ass feel uncomfortable F***ing hell? I know there are black people in it 2, but why is it, that white people always look so embarrassing?

.....and the body at the morgue "we're all gonna die"

.

Wow, talk about being insensitive!!

Not funny.

I agree. They are turning Prince's legacy into a damn circus!

.

You know Prince would never stand for any of this.

Don’t be shy in letting the Family know our feelings regarding crass commercialism in the name of Prince. They have Twitter feeds. There should be an organized fan response...Housequake, Org, etc

.

They don't care how we feel. They are sitting there, counting the bills rolling in.

I actually felt sick seeing that......I mean, how much is enough?

.

Prince's death is still under investigation; they should show some compassion -- but, I guess that is asking for too much.

Why ask someone about something that is just a TMZ rumor at this point? Timberlake has a new album out. Why would he want his super bowl performance to be overshadowed by Prince? 🤔

.

You've got to be kidding with that comment, right??!! JT was at PP promoting his new album......and he's performing at the SB in Minneapolis......Prince's homeland. Everything is centered around Prince.....so, I don't understand your comment.

.

Huh?
