" He was there for a total of five-and-a-half minutes."

I was making love to my woman when it came on.
So I only caught the last half of the performance.

thinking about it, it does seem a little logistically improbable that someone could stroll into an auditorium and traipse on stage for a televised performance at the last minute. the 15 minute scenario seems a lot more plausible. if the band really was playing in the pit, i'm very impressed - "lolita" sure sounded like a backing track to me.


If it really was Cora on drums, her husband on bass and Mr.Hayes on synth/organ live, well there was no involvement from the house band, because, having listened back to it, that is all the perfomance of both Lolita and Satisfied was made of - drum, bass and syth/organ. No other instruments, no guitar or horns. Quite stripped down really.

Hmmm...



...on the other hand, it makes him look like a complete prick (which we fans know he is quite frequently), but to the general public it could appear as though he never outgrew the impetuous brat image he garnered in the 80s.
..


He outgrew that??



Evidently not entirely... wink
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

his greatness.....
did it with the cool arrogance of a royal one. why come in early to stand in front of questions and comments? why stay after the performance to stand in front of questions and comments?
typing he is well aware of the fact.."u can please some of the people some of the time...but u cannot please all the people all of the time"..i.e.,
"stop worryin about what people say, when it ain't gonna stop them anyway"
"whatever...whatever..U want it 2b"

He sang a kick ass version of Lolita - no instument just him and the twinz

Than slowed it down but kept ever1 on the edge of their seat as always with Satisfied

the ending was cool with the twinz backin him on vocals and the very ending ILOVE

The way he ends it with his voice makes the crowd go NUTS-O!!! BRILLIANT

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

Good story but I highly doubt he kept producers guessing.


Right? nod He must have just stayed in the car until the last minute, but they had to have known he was on the premises & ready to go. Otherwise that's the most unprofessional shit ever. Not that he wouldn't actually pull that out his ass lol but I don't think it would have gone as smoothly had he literally showed up 30 seconds before going on, there's usually some level of clusterfuckery in those situations...

But he DID look like he did his makeup in a hurry hmmm and by the dim interior light of a car confused
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

This whole "he arrived minutes before the performance and left immediately after the performance" story is a bit suspect.

OK - I was in the hospital last week and missed out on all the gossip and "look outs". So there I am laying in that damn bed watching Idol because my suite mate was too and then he walks out. eek

My first thought was NO SHIT! HE DID IT! And the second was I can't wait to go home and read the reactions on the .org! lol


I'm home now catching up and getting better. wink

the GOOD thing is, the TWINZ are worth looking at, they can sing (i think) and they compliment in the old fashioned Prince way.
Being able to be on stage and to cope with Prine is what matters! They're more dirty and sexy than Tamar. Though tamar is sexy, but less fit in dirty with Prince's stage act.

looking forward to a European tour now..

Well we Europeans don't know much about the A.Idol show. I think the performace was tight, and the arrangement of the songs work great in a live performance!
maybe even better then on record (lately..).

What a fucking asshole. If it is beneath him then he should not have done it. I thought he was a professional. It just shows how low his career has falling that he needs to do a show that he does not like. I hate that damn show and I did not watch it even with him on it.

and you're still here because...


if u think it was that tacky then honestly u must think Prince has been tacky for a long time seeing as he almost never talks to people after he performs unless its a talk show or sumin
