Sharpie66 February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 They should have added Janelle Monae to this Prince tribute--right after he died, she did a kickass version of Let's Go Crazy at a concert that blew me away whnen I saw it on YouTube. 8 Link to comment

Like some women I have known in real life who act not only like they are the first, and will be the only to ever give birth, but the child is destined for greatness as well...only she gets a stage,costumes, and a microphone too. Too much...my eyes are still rolling. She's got enough talent that it could be all about the music. She doesn't need the sideshow that some lesser talented singers needs to stay relevant. 9 Link to comment
MerBearHou February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 (edited) Totally concur -- loved it for Prince!! Can only imagine if Bruno had done the George Michael tribute. It needed THAT energy to properly honor George. Very well done, Bruno. Edited February 13, 2017 by MerBearHou 13 Link to comment
Misslindsey February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 Quote Rihanna is my spirit animal because I would definitely show up to this thing alcohol in hand (and I might've shown up to a few events alcohol ready as well heh). I picked up a flask that looks like a sunscreen bottle at a winery a few summers ago. My mom got me a wine bra for Christmas as a joke, but it comes in handy and makes my boobs look bigger! Well, until I drink the wine. Though I do not know what all this says about me. 15 Link to comment

27bored February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 Celine Dion broke my heart a little bit on the red carpet when she said sometimes it feels like Rene's death was three years ago and sometimes like it's not happening. Word. Celine truly loved Rene, and he truly loved her. And you think about the fact that he'd been in her life since she was a child and now she's a woman of a certain age...it's really bittersweet. Great tribute by The Time and Bruno Mars. Prince had so many great songs, it's hard to feel a little disappointed because there weren't more. But still, that was a good tribute. Also: go Asian chick on the commercial singing "Nothing Compares 2 U". Eesh. I would've loved if that they got Sinead to sing...nevermind. Sinead is on Pluto, Jupiter, and Mars. 3 Link to comment

There's actually a documentary called "Paul Williams - Still Alive" It is a great documentary. I ended up really liking Paul William. He had such success and nearly lost everything, including his life. He has been clean and sober for about 20 years. What struck me was the fact that he seemed so grateful for what he has today. When he won a Grammy a few years ago I was so happy for him. I think the documentary was on Showtime. 4 Link to comment
AuntieL February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 I've been a slug all weekend and now, when I have to get to bed, I'm up dancing like a fool. That was terrific. And I want a bejeweled flask for my birthday. 5 Link to comment

Readalot February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 LOVE LOVE love the Prince tribute, so much better than Bowie's tribute last year. Yea for The Time and Bruno Mars! I was dancing the whole time. Cried during Lets Go Crazy just like I did when I saw Prince in concert twice. Better than GM (I did love Adele's tribute, I cried like a baby, but GM was so full of life his tribute should of reflected it). Would it of been great to have crazy Sinead there and the Bangles singing their Prince songs? And the Revolution too? 5 Link to comment

27bored February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 I like Pentatonix, but I always feel like they're kind of a YouTube-gimmick-made-good. Even though they've sold a bunch of records and won a couple of Grammys, they still just seem like a couple of kids doing boom-boom-keesh acapella version of soulless Top 40 pop hits. I don't know why. 10 Link to comment

His tribute to GM was heartfelt and he was really getting into the Prince tribute. Some of his stuff is corny but I think that's just the nature of hosting. It is kind of a thankless job 14 Link to comment

I don't know why. I'll just say this in defense of Pentatonix then I will shut up. Check out their original song "Ref"-- it's a great fuck-you song for any ex who is trying to get back with you. (Actually written in response to Epic Records who dropped them from the record contract they won for The Sing-Off, then came calling after their Christmas songs started to take off in popularity.) 3 Link to comment
