Tf y’all talking about that he didn’t like Janelle’s cover? He mentored her. He barely grooves to anyone’s covers of his and he was BOPPING! And that smile at the end couldn’t have assured anyone more on how close they were.
He was a proud teacher looking at the success of his student. You can tell how proud he is of Janelle Monáe. Like these people need to stop acting like every artist has to be filled with emotions. Sometimes they don’t know how to act and just jams out.
Glad to know im not the only 1 who stored this in my Happy Memories. This was him co signing her and being comfortable that his Artistry and Legacy can rest comfortably in the hands of the next generation and wasnt all in vain or forgotten amongst the youth. Prince dont nod or sit up for NOBODY But Jehovah God. This was her Ascension.
This was iconic I remeber watching this over and over again as a kid I recorded it on my blackberry and made it my ring tone I just couldn't get enough of this performance
Janelle Monae was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Prince is very low key and shows no expression but that night he did. Is insides were like 🥳🤑🥰😂🤪🤯💥🎊🎉. Best performance by Janelle and Prince approved.
I wish she would've done "Computer Blue." The name would've fit it with androgynous android theme, plus I could totally imagine, "Janelle? Yes, Tessa. Is the water warm enough? Yes, Tessa. Shall we begin? Yes, Tessa." But Computer Blue wasn't a radio friendly hit, and I'm not sure if Janelle & Tessa were together yet.
She Was Is Ahead Of her time. I Remember like It Wss Yesterfay Watching this. She became A Star After. The 2010 BET Awards Were the 1st And last Good BET Awards Of the 2010’s
I remember when this happened, I was laughing like a mf in front of my tv. I was like “ who tf is this ? Wtf is she doing ? Where tf is the rap artist at? “ Lmfaoo
Had to come back to this video. Awesome performance. These comments though lol Some of y'all are definitely new to Janelle. lol Oh well. People like what they like. 😂🤷🏿♀️ ArchAndroid is a masterpiece, may want to start there in regards to her work.
That’s how you do a Prince song. You don’t try to imitate him.(you can’t) you take it and do you. That’s why he kept changing his songs. He took them and kept doing him.
I loved this but Bruno Mars did a even better job at the Grammys after prince died. He played the same song and had a pretty good guitar solo at the end.
She basically spazzed out with mediocre vocals then shrieked at the end because she can't hit a killer note. It's like a mixture of crazy aunt doing karaoke and kid's talent show. Prince was very restrained
He was her mentor, they worked together. I read in the comment section that he was a jehovah witness and so he was uncomfortable with anything tribute-wise. But you see in the end he smiled and clapped for her.
@@Lindae696969 You wouldn't know but also THEY'RE LITERALLY FRIENDS AND HE PASSED DOWN HIS SYNTHS TO HER ETC, Like y'all be fans on the side acting like you know what he likes and doesn't like. They had a good relationship and he vouched for her etc. I can't stand yall
@@izzy6003 I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but she is not that good. Whether he is friends with her or not. Her musicianship skills are average not like Bruno Mars or H.E.R. But right now there are much bigger problems happening today as the crisis in Afghanistan, inflation, violence. Have a nice day and cheer up.

She was his prodigy so I don't know why people think he didnt like her.
He also hand picked each performer for his tribute
Prince was honored and he would have been so proud of her she has really built her music up.Love Her style and music
She cracked him! Haha he smiled! Go Janelle!!
The look on prince's face, said "yeah my legacy will be just fine. 😏"
Her energy is amazing and intoxicating
I guess people don’t know that prince was her mentor 🤣 they were close !
I knew she was a star after this...and she got Princes approval
Compare this to a young James Brown or Prince performance and see, Janelle is IT!
Yessss I was seeing her doing some James Brown moves.
She was prince prodigy.
She really nailed it back then, and Prince was impressed and proud to be her mentor.
This performance literally changed my life. God bless Jane. Rest up, Prince.
God blessed you, Janelle Monáe! R.I.P. Prince.
How?

Young Jane was full of energy 😭 Prince loved her and this performance! I feel like he would be hella proud of her today 💜
This was iconic I remeber watching this over and over again as a kid I recorded it on my blackberry and made it my ring tone I just couldn't get enough of this performance
@0:46 I CAN"T !!!!!!!!!!!!!! the way she was clappin straight took my breath away, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Lmbooooooooo I just saw that. That was a church clap 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stage presence ❤️
Janelle Monae was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Prince is very low key and shows no expression but that night he did. Is insides were like 🥳🤑🥰😂🤪🤯💥🎊🎉. Best performance by Janelle and Prince approved.
This is why she was his last' collaboration, on her Electric Lady album in 2013.
Janelle was dope. Prince loved it💜
Yes, she was! He loved it💜 RIP Prince
This was where I first saw Janelle Monae.
Look how proud of her he is all the way through xoxoxoox
Watching this and wow her voice has improved so much since this
This was good I remember this
Yes, it was good!! Yeah, I remember this!
Wauw, een geweldige cover. Prince stoïcijns in de zaal (maar geniet)... God, wat missen we hém ook...

Don't know why BET never uploads past performances.
she snapped!!!
That was very authentic and ridiculously Awesome. She kicked Ass.
Omg, I hadn't seen this one yet, but wow, of course. Monae takes even Prince to another level.
She Was Is Ahead Of her time. I Remember like It Wss Yesterfay Watching this. She became A Star After. The 2010 BET Awards Were the 1st And last Good BET Awards Of the 2010’s
Prince face🤣😂😭🤦
Chile. He is so funny.
Yes, he is!🤣😂😭RIP Prince
This is beautiful. They were close friends.
Yes, it is. Yes, they were! RIP Prince
Epic performance!!!!
Prince was impressed and if you don’t see how , then you don’t know prince at all
That moment at :59 seconds tells you everything
@@nikolasdiallo 2:51 too :D
Right. He was composed, but it was because he was interested.' He knew who she was, just grading' her.
HER is more impressive than Janelle. Too bad Prince is not around any more to hear her.
@@mireiification why comparing?
Prince was laughin' 'cause of that scream she did at the end, but he enjoyed it nonetheless
Yes, she did!
@@dezmondharris3644 He did
Oh, yeah, thanks!
She did awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes, she did!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s my girl!!!!
And he did laugh at the end i don’t think anybody else can pull that song off better than the man himself
Prince loved this performance lmao yes he laughed at her scream but lived for this performance & also mentored her after
I remember when this happened, I was laughing like a mf in front of my tv. I was like “ who tf is this ? Wtf is she doing ? Where tf is the rap artist at? “ Lmfaoo
i dunno why but i started breaking down hysterically st 0:58

Prince is looking like, "She did me proud."
She means that shit
Yall do know he's jehovah so he is uncomfortable with anything tribute wise he mentioned this before the accolades is uncomfortable to him
lol the look on Prince face tells a story he wanted to laugh
Janelle Monae wasirritating as hell to watch here!😂😂😂
Prince was like- meh 🤷🏻♀️
Because of this performance, Prince mentored her btw
prince mentored her baby lmao
No he wasn't. He was her mentor. She was his prodigy. If you paid attention to the end he smiled and clapped hard for her.
Y'all be stupid af commenting like this when she was close as hell to him LMFAO
Oh really? Lol
I wish they would have put it in her key
I remember this lmaoo prince pretty much didnt like anyone that covered his songs and i dont blame him it was all bad
Devereaux Adams he liked her wth you talking about
Lol u don’t remember much🤦🏾
Devereaux Adams prince mentored her and they were great friends
Prince clearly liked this performance. He liked Alicia Keys i think the only one he didnt like was Trey songz
Clueless not surprised 😲
Yea, this is a No lol
Is she having a seizure!?!?!?!
She really was wack with the vocals. Prince didn't love that.
I loved this but Bruno Mars did a even better job at the Grammys after prince died. He played the same song and had a pretty good guitar solo at the end.
Of course y’all come over critiquing black folks music. Did Prince mentor Bruno. I think tf not
Bruno Mars did a better tribute. Plus he plays guitar!
Prince is turning in his grave. This is just BAD!
lol he's literally in the audience clapping at the end of the video.
RIP Prince
Actually you have not a clue. Do you? Lol 😂
She basically spazzed out with mediocre vocals then shrieked at the end because she can't hit a killer note. It's like a mixture of crazy aunt doing karaoke and kid's talent show. Prince was very restrained
Cringey af
not according to prince, which was her MENTOR. weirdo lmao
She literally acting like how Prince acted back then y'all just hate black women. But Prince signed off on her so fuck all yall
I agree. Whether he liked it or not, it was terrible.
You’re entitled to whatever it is you mentioned. Next
Prince does not look pleased!! Bruno Mars is much better. At least he plays guitar.
He was her mentor, they worked together. I read in the comment section that he was a jehovah witness and so he was uncomfortable with anything tribute-wise. But you see in the end he smiled and clapped for her.
@@yamilirodriguez689 Perhaps he was being nice.
Are you fcking kidding me? 😂
