Wow. Man u just got my imagination of how this would sound going wild!

I think it would be amazing! I can't believe she hasn't covered this yet.

can't think of any covers by Teena

My tribute predictions:

- Solange

- Janelle Monae

- Rihanna

- Maxwell

- Ne-Yo

Maybe Drake can perform "jughead" on the tribute...

If BET was smart, they let Prince perform the classics his damn self.

Just because P has criticized BET before does not mean he should not be honored. Let's be honest-the man deserves the honor and quite frankly, there aren't that many talented musicians around to honor. Punk ass bitch, aka Timberlake would never show up to P tribute. Damn straight D'Angelo should be there, but the only way they could lure him there is the promise of weed and the ho stroll.

I wanna see:

Wendy & Lisa perform Mountains

Sheena Easton perform Sugar Walls

The Time perform Jungle Love

Tevin Campell peform Round and Round

Sheila E perform Glamorous Life

and a reunited Prince & Revolution open with Sheena and U Got The Look then perform I Would Die For You, Kiss, Raspberry Beret and close with Purple Rain.

Oh and to correct that article, Prince just turned 52.

YOU KNOW they ain't gonna invite them! YOU KNOW THAT!

We'll just have to see I guess. It WOULD be nice if Sheila was there though. And Wendy & Lisa.

That'll probably be the only folks we'll see with him onstage.

The best they can do is invite these folks:

George Clinton and P-Funk

Chaka Khan

and probably The Time

But that's about it. But watch them putting Riri in this.

Close your eyes, hear the start of All The Critics Love You In New York and imagine RiRi in one of her stringed tops swaying back and forth to the beat.

They should have Eddie Griffin reprise his Prince skit.

The following artist should be considered:

Ceelo Green

Mint Condition

PFunk

Chaka

D'Angelo

Andre 3000

The Time

now let's have some tribute artist whom actually can do prince music justice and not not just a collection of the most popular current acts.

I hope this doesn't suck but I'd be surprised if it doesn't.

Exactly. I wasn't to thrilled with the MJ tribute last year...Ciarra! singing a MJ song. Horrid!

I think they will do Prince justice though this year. Hopefulley I can get in to see it in person this year...By the way congrats Princey u deserve it..

And with that 8 inch heel.

True. Wait. Did she do a Smokey song? Now Imma have to listen to all her stuff later.

You might be right tho. I could be thinkin of her doing some Smokey at the live show.

I think "Adore" would make a wonderful exception to that rule.

if prince does not want to be classifeid as a black artist then why is he accepting this award?

prince should not be honored by bet. he criticized them in the past. he dosent considered himself a black artist. so why should he attended? if he attend this event, he would be a two face twerp.

Why is there always an orger who wants to start with the "Prince is not Black" crap?

If RiRi is allowed to do anything it should be POP LIFE (tho if u gonna go for crap BritBrit would be a better chioice for the song).

Prince turned down the role of Cleopatra for that very reason you know.

I don't have cable anymore but I won't be missing anything. I wouldn't sit through that dull ass show just to see Prince and I have absolutely no desire to hear some Prince songs sung by today's dead ass artists.

Wrong forum. Post on sticky in the Prince: M & M forum sticky, thanks. :lock

People seem to forget, that they might have other artists sing some of his songs in a quick succession of a medley, but he will perform for something like this. So hush, and let's just enjoy the show.
