when prince has won awards in the past, did he thank marvin gaye, stevie wonder, sly and the family stone, carlos santana, joni mitchell, jimi hendrix, david bowie, the rolling stones, the beatles or the countless other's whom have been in incredible influence on his music?

Yes

The infamous 1994(5?) AMA special acheivement award, with the Purple medley & Gold medley

Not everyone, but alot.

Watch that.

As for Andre mentioning Prince... since he goes around drooling in all his interviews lately how much he loves him and wants to meet him...would make sense.

1. Grammy or not - Andre can't sing!
2. He AIN'T Prince. I'd hope he's not as preoccupied with being like Prince as some on this site make him out to be, otherwise he'd NEVER have an identity of his own.
3. Why should he pay homage to influences at an awarrds show? First Grammy - thank
GOD, your label, mom, your bandmates, manager and family. By that time, your airtime should be up. You can thank influences the next time around (if there is one). Thanking influences just makes you look like a copycat anyway.
Prince didn't play one note on the Love Below - why the HELL should HE get props?

Anyone notice whenever you add Prince to your music style your huge! OR have your best song.

Janet Jackson.. she was nothing before 1986

Britney Spears.. rip off Prince and have the only song anyone takes about past your first reason we know you. (Slave 4 u)

Andre 3000... He even does the "Thank You" speech rolleyes

Eminem... admits he is ripping off Purple Rain Movie year before ..but when it comes out all that kinda talk is gone.. BUT even at the Premire he acted like Prince not talking rolleyes

* This isn't new with the recent artist there is examples back in 1984-on

Not to make apologies for Andre, but I think there was some confusion. Seems that when Aerosmith's Steven Tyler read the winner he only mentioned Andre's title of the Outkast CD. Noticed how it seemed to take forever for them to come to the stage? (I was wondering if they'd gone off to the bathroom, you know how folks do at these award shows.) Maybe the duo was really confused? So, Andre got up there, said "Thank you" and was gone.

I don't know, I was confused, but I didn't read in a bad way.

well, maybe in 10 years Andre will give 'props'. c'mon, '94 was the first time prince gave reference to his influences? anyway...

and if andre is talking about prince in his interviews why does he need to talk about him in his award speech? he's already given props.

not everyone who enjoys music worships prince and sometimes i think you all see prince in EVERYTHING.

Well, actually I learned that Big Boi didn't even arrive yet. He was coming from a party or something. But Dre was there and accepted the award. But boy, that must've been awkward for him.

Guess it would've been kinda awkward for him to say: "I accept this award on behalf of Big Boi who's out shakin' dat ass somewhur."
