The crowd only got up because Prince asked everyone to get up on their feet. Watch it again...if Prince had not said that, they would still be sitting there trying to look cool.

I'll definitely have to try to find it on some other site or w/e.

VH1 Classic made a bad move by playing "Prince of Paisley Park" at the same time as the show. I was flipping back and forth between them cuz I missed the first 15 minutes last it was on...

You would think that he'd be the last one there. I turn at 9:15 during commerical break and there he is... going on to "Get on the Boat"

I certainly wouldn't recommend bouncing between his past and him at present... it took me so long to get used to him just being there.
But I was so in awe that I wasn't really paying attention to anything but him... heh, I liked the moment where he took his sunglasses off so I could see his eyes.

And I was kinda mad at myself cuz I figured he'd come back at the end... but didn't... I really hate when he does the unexpected, u'd think they'd save him for last cuz he IS THE BEST... not that his music is very Latino in nature.

edit: I just caught it online somewhere... he put a latin twist on "The Word" which was pretty cool... I kinda wish i didnt miss out on it the first time, but w/e

Awesome performance. If I have one complaint about it, it's that the band was a little sloppy. But that might be because it was too big and not rehearsed enough.


Anyway, awesome appearance. I really wish he'd do an entire concert on TV.

Okay here's my take.. it was a little over the top. There was too much goin on. P and Sheila looked great and they seemed to be having a real good time. Sheila tore it up. P's guitar playing was spectacular as usual but still there was too much going on!

FYI, you could have foregone the Paisley Park show....VH1 has been airing it about once a week for the past 6 months cool

i completely agree with you while watching i kept thinking, this is way to much, you dont know where to look or what to focus on!

i also didn't like the sped up tempo of Get on the Boat..sounded to "rushed" like he couldn't get the lyrics out fast enough. Guess cause I am just used to the tempo on the album version.

Prince and Sheila killed it..... God knows how much i love Sheila but she looked a lil rough tonight....

Come on, give her a break...Sheila looks good for a 49...almost 50 year old. Besides, u know they taped this in CA and it was probably HUMID as HELL!



No - the weather here has been a bit cooler than usual out here. Not humid at all. And I for one thinks she looks awesome - the Silly 70's party for one recent idea. But last night she looked tired. I'm not sure what the deal was, perhaps she wasn't feeling well. Other than that they were wonderful. I loved it.

I agree that she looked tired, look at her face when she walking down the aisle at the beginning, and even when he put his arm around her, she didn't break a smile, I was like damn!

Sheila did look tired and was not smiling as usual I'm sure she wasn't feeling well but she was DA BOMB!!!!and still look gorgeous the only grip was the hair I think the hair was too long i think she looks cute with shorter hair.. Also i noticed that many times She looks much better in person than on tv, she is a tiny little thing and she look much heavier on tv.... Whatever it is she is royalty...

I never even notice the twins so I can't tell you what they were doing. Prince and Sheila outdid themselves. Renato as well.

I didn't care for Grupo Fantasma when they were at the Hard Rock but their horns added a lot to Get On The Boat tonight.


Don't forget that Prince's horns were in there too. The horns sounded like they did at the 3121 aftershow that I saw. Greg, Mike and Maceo were holding it down tonight too.




Yeah, I know, I went to Vegas too. I was saying that I think the extra horns enhanced the song even more. cool

Ok--so here's my husband's comments:

Is that a POOCH I see??? Yep--A POOCH---just like mine!!! Prince is catching up with me! Oh, and is that a love handle? YES SUH, I think it is!

But, I really like these versions. His musical abilities are of course stellar, but "your boy" is gettin fat and can't do the splits anymore.

And this is me:

You so WISH. It was his DAMN SWEATER, and you know it. AND he's still FINE and HOT and YOU CAN'T DO THE SPLITS EITHER.

Clearly my man (hubby, that is) is suffering from some serious P jealousy. . . smile




LOL @ hubby...I noticed it too and I thought to myself how adorable is that?
Where I come from they call that "pooch" the "playground" lol

Get on the boat had a really odd tempo to it. didn't flow as well at that tempo. part of me think sit was intentional to flow with the rest of the music, but at the same time, it sounded so out of place, it is hard for me to imagine it being intentional.

discussion:
do you think that was intentional? if not, which drummer do you think is responsible for setting the tempo, Sheila or Cora?


It's intentionally sped up. For the past year they've been playing it with more of a fast, salsa tempo. Prince doesn't usually sing much on it other than the chorus. It's just a jam. I remember they just slaughtered it (in a good way) in Vegas at one of the aftershows I went to. I was never crazy about the song until I heard it live with that arrangement.
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

Prince was AMAZING! The Word was awesome and Get on the Boat was great 2. Sheila was really good! I thought those drumsticks were gonna fly outta her hands @ some point. [And Prince and Sheila held hands the whole way walking down the aisle!!! A sign of things to come?] Was it just me or did the other performances pale in comparison? I mean really, Prince was the only one that went into the audience and got everyone dancing. And... Beyonce needs to stick to singing in English .

Overall, great award show. I desperately took pictures of the TV while Prince was performing- but the pics came out bad so I wont post them. I hope someone does post pics.


- was "love bizarre" playing when Sheila and Prince walked out? I read that somewhere. giggle
