...that was pretty cool. I was thinking Prince was going to pop on stage any moment, but he didn't...oh well shrug


thats what i thought too..cuz they said superstar and the only person i could connect her wit was prince..but it was nice to c stevie back doin his thang.

I mean even Chaka Khan was off big time. Did they even rehearse anything.


man that was baad..i was expectin her to b the savior of it all..but she sounded a hot mess too.
Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...

Good grief, Bruh! Why did you HAVE to go there!?

Oh, and Andre looks like P. Diddy's manservant in that first pic. (Actually, I think I like his hair cut.)

Ahhh...guess he's picked up the ax in preparation for his Hendrix role.


Naw Sis, I meant that in a good way.

But now that you mention it, he does kinda have that

Farnsworth Bentley thing happening.

Andre just doesn't "physically fit" Hendrix.


And the playing...

...that's a whole 'nother story which Dre can't do anything about.

Thanx for those pix, tA.I agree with you about Andre.He's got his own thing which is great, but a completely different thing than what Hendrix had.I still think they should hire an ACTOR,prefferably an unknown one.

NP.

I agree they should probably go with an unknown "ACTOR".
If not an unknown, one actor I saw recently that could probably pull it off is LEON (Leon Robinson).
He played Little Richard, Jackie Wilson and David Ruffin in various TV movies.
(not to mention the messiah figure in Madonna's Like A Prayer video)

He's done movies also.
(Waiting to Exhale, Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored, Cliffhanger, Cool Runnings, etc.)

From what I understand he's also got/had a reggae band called The Young Lions.

Someone to consider.

Good performance. Should've let Stevie Wonder and Lenny Kravitz do "Superstition" though. I liked it. And if her putting on those stupid shades was her 'tribute' to Stevie Wonder...that just showed her ignorance. confused

I totally agree with u on that. Leon would have made a better Hendrix than Andre. Leon also played in Ali. lol

Well, I enjoyed Lenny and Stevie. Alicia Keys is so overrated, they could've done without her. It's like the media is trying to make her the savior of music today. I kinda liked her when Fallen came out, but after that.....I just didn't see what the big uproar was about.

I totally agree! Shes very overrated! What in the hell was up with her hair? Was she trying to hide bad skin? Lenny looked like he just left Mad Max and Thunderdome.

He BETTER learn how to play if he's going to play Jimi in the movie or a lot of folks are going to be throwing eggs at him. People who truly digs Hendrix could give a fuck about Andre, so he better bring it on the guitar.

Based on the new haircut...


...and the fact that he plays right-handed (a BIG Hendrix issue)


an Ike Turner role might be more appropriate.

Sorry have to disagree.

Alicia voice was all scratchy and off on both songs. I get on her for being overrated but never for being off pitch she sounded horrible.



You are bugged! She didn't sound bad at all. She missed a note or 2 - that's pretty harsh...

Ok now. You need to tell the truth. The voice wasn't sounded so hot that day. I not so much of fan of hers. Eventhough she had Steve and Lenny trying to help her out, it did not help much.
I am glad to see that she is able to pick up an instrument. However, she needs vocal work tremendously.

I don't think she was that off at all, it actually sounded pretty close to the album version of the song to me. Alicia is one of those people who's been overrated by half of the music industry, and has been needlessly reamed by the other half in backlash. I think she's alright, not this "old souled" saviour, but not your typical production booth synthetic pop star

As to the Andre thing, I admire him for trying to play more instruments and branch out. So his chops aren't honed yet, so what? I think Andre and Big Boi could be hip hop's Lennon and McCartney is they keep it up.

I was on another message board and some kid commented on Alicia Keys, Stevie and Lenny's performance...he said what was so great about them doing a Red Hot Chili Pepper's classic "Higher Ground"...uhhhhh kid, sorry to burst your bubble but Red Hot Chili Pepper's did not record Higher Ground first. All in all I loved the performance, Alcia's voice was a little scratchy at times but overall it was a good performance....someone stated that Lauryn Hill was supposed to come out with them but backed out at the last minute.
