Then that makes sense.


They were friends/dating then had a falling out and hated each other for years but reconciled a few years ago.

I can't find the original article because there has been an explosion of articles since then. Here's one of the images:

Yes, I saw those too. I was dying, so funny!


link please!


NP. this is my favorite -- Prince side-eyeing Alicia Keys' performance a few years ago

The tribute was disrespectful! I'm hoping BET does a better job, they already announced they are planning a tribute during hte BET awards.

The tribute was HORRIBLE from start to finish. I watched the whole show just to see it and it disappointed. I was irked from the get go when Madonna started singing the Sinead cover of Nothing Compares 2 U. I know that's the more well known version, but hello it's supposed to be a Prince tribute and he's got a huge catalog to pick from. Madonnas voice was so shaky and even the great Stevie Womder couldn't save the performance. I'm hoping one of the other award shows does Prince justice, he deserved better.

I don't know why they couldn't have chosen any number of other people, like Stevie Wonder, Morris Day, 3RDEYEGIRL, Joni Mitchell, Santana, or Sheila E. What matters is who was relevant to Prince. I think they just wanted to pick a household name like Madonna.

Still waiting for the autopsy report. I think it was some kind of organ failure from dehydration. I don't know why he was let out of the hospital the day before his death.



Here is a link to the Shelia E story:

Madonna looks really strange on the Billboard Awards. Not sure why they would choose her to do a tribute. OK, as I'm trying this Stevie Wonder walked out on stage.
