Prince & Beyoncé Grammy performance

Haven’t found good quality video but the audio on this is good. At the end you can clearly hear Prince say “don’t hate us cuz we fabulous” and Beyoncé laughing.

I have to say, this is one of my least favorite TV performances of his. It's loud in a brash way, it's messy, and I don't like her voice on a Prince song. I hate that it's some manic medley of songs. He started doing some weird ass arrangement of "Let's Go Crazy" on the Lovesexy tour and it got to be like something The Rock-a-fire Explosion would perform.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I don’t mind this performance but no live version of LGC can match the album version for me.

I didn't care for this performance. I appreciate Beyoncé and her talent for what she does, but to me she is just a glitzy song and dance girl. Not meat and potatoes like some of her contemporaries .

We know, we've seen it over and over here on the forum. And this should probably be in Assocate forum.


We've discussed how Bey tried to hog the mic to herself and Prince gave her a look, and took the mic. I think you even participated in that thread.

He's the one who wanted her to be up there went him calling her a "real deal" and he also told her to belt it out and she did. Hmm funny, she did the foreword to that Afshin Shahidi book but not a decent tribute to Prince.

I thought that the reloaded version he did with 3rdEyeGirl was amazing.
