You are so on point. I will never forget when I first met prince in Hollywood at a carwash just before his 1st concert of his "Dirty Mind" tour in 1982.j
8 years later and I still bawl when I watch this. Sheila E… just a short time after Prince died… I don’t know how she kept it together during the performance. The look on her face as she lowered the guitar down at the end of the performance… says it all. #Prince4Ever
Sheila E is a Beautiful Lady. Her Tribute to Prince was great and She loves Children and she is very talented. She is down to earth and She loves Prince. Now that he died His Music WILL LIVE ON thru other people and thru His love and thru His passions
Out of all the Prince tributes I have seen I thought this was the best because her energy demonstrates the contagious and passionate spirit of Prince's music on people.
Lisa DeRenard right ! She was reliving them old band/touring days MAGICAL !! The spirit of Prince was definitely in here to possess her to hit that baseball slide at 60 years old lol
Man. Watching this again in 2024 and my eyes started tearing up just like they did that night when I saw it going down on live TV, at the end when the cameras came in on the close up of Sheila's sad face. Such a kick ass performance by everyone on that stage and a perfectly flawless, and musically respectful tribute to greatest living musician of my lifetime. Shelia did such a great job with the arrangements too, Im sure Prince was with her that night watching, rocking ,and no doubt feeling very proud and moved. Sheila, I realize you'll never see this comment, and that you don't know me but ima write it anyway, I just wanted to say that I still love just as much as I did when i first heard and saw you on MTV singing about the Glamorous Life in 1984, and I hope you can please accept my very late by 8 years thank you for putting this awesome tribute together that night for all of us to honor our hero, Prince. As you can see by the year I've written this, its the gift that keeps on giving!😎 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honey I saw Shelia perform in the 80s and she was on FIRE...🔥🔥 Just because people didn’t know she had it in her definitely doesn’t mean it wasnt there. She ate that stage up and kept everybody’s attn from start to finish. She got her record deal for a reason!
Out of all the tributes to Prince they had on all the award shows, I am not sure why this is the only one that thought Shelia E. There was no better artist than Sheila E to do a tribute for the Artist Known as Prince. I also totally loved Jerome being there .. LOVED every minute of this.
This was the Prince send off to heaven that he deserved. Only she could pull this off. The end was so emotional. It was a true goodbye. Brings me to tears every time. RIP Prince. You were a star on earth and now a star in the sky.
The ending was fake just like Sheila E's fake self. She pocketed the proceeds that were donated from charities after Prince' passing❗ Her face at the end looked so stupid . Did not look mournful...she looked angry. Trying _too_ _hard_ to look sad, but instead Sheila E looked mad~faced! She looked ridiculous sliding on stage. Too old too. She almost couldn't get back up. 😂 Notice her _true_ character. She's a big fake.
I am sure that Prince was smiling down on Sheila and Mayta ...and band! He would be very proud. He and Sheila were very dear friends and she knew him more than anyone. Freaking best tribute!!!!!
I'm absolutely astounded by Sheila's performance and how much she honored Prince with her and her crews ability to give a show, in Prince's style. Absolutely fantastic. Love you bunches, Sheila.
5 years later, I still have tears running down my face watching this. Sheila, I am so proud of you. Every one did a bang up job of bringing Prince through. God that was fun! Great job!
This in my own opinion is the tribute to Prince, this was the people he worked with, loved and respected. Shame that I get the feeling that Sheila seems to have taken it hard, she truly loved him, but this is his old group, the twins, dancers , musicians, the lot. This can only be the real tribute. I hope, really hope, that Sheila can get over his passing n it much of taken a lot of courage to do this.
She said she said No first time then she started making calls seeing who was available then picking up beat songs. Notice no Purple Rain. Then songs everyone had played together...then choreography etc. She did Great.
Bad she is! I've never seen a drama Rock and kill the drums like she does! She gives me chills! Prince and Sheila E surround themselves with excellent Talent, each other!
The end is really special with Sheila And Mayte both standing for the man they loved and praising that guitar, that was powerful and you could see how emotional it was for them...
Can't nobody do a better Tribute than Sheila E. and the NPG with Mayte, The Twins and of course Jerome Benton (born and raised in my hometown Omaha Nebraska ) he's my favorite character since Purple Rain and Under The Cherry Moon. Thanx 4 the video... Wish he was here. Live 4 love
Wow! Sheila E's love for Prince, beyond space and time, exudes from her every move, note and showmanship during this musical expression of love. Infinitely beautiful. Sheila E, you are amazing.
That particular "Cloud guitar" (So called because they fit the Cloud Suit that Prince wore in the "Raspberry Beret" video so well) is one of the original four that guitar builder Dave Rusan made Prince. It was his second White one he used in the "Purple rain" tour and after having it refinished black in the "Parade" tour. It later was his main cloud during the Lovesexy tour refinished light blue and brought back during the early 2000's era when he brought the name Prince back again, he can be seen playing the guitar, refinished Purlpe as it appears here, in the live show shot in Las vegas. As for the other three. The third was given away in a raffle when "Purple Rain" the movie premiered. The fourth, finished in Yellow is in the Smithsonian museum. And then there was the first, the one from the movie, that original one. Which was completely destroyed by Prince at the very last show of the "Parade" tour.
That was incredible. It must have been so hard for Sheila E. to pull that off. But She did and it was amazing! no matter what they say about Mayte, I still think she loved Prince. R.I.P. Purple One. I know you are playing music with the angels in heaven. We love you and miss you.
Jennifer Daniels say what??? She seems weird to me. Look at the look on her face. Someone that loves you wouldn't try to get a pay day off the things that were yours after you die. Smh If she loved him she would've danced for him period.
This was the best tribute to Prince on the BET Awards! Sheila E. really rocked! She was passionate, artful and is extremely talented! It was good to see Jerome, Shelby, Mayte!! Fantastic!!🌟🌟🌟🌟
I have to say the most touching thing about this is their bravery in going out there crushing it while grieving. He was surrounded by some rock solid people through the years, and they showed their true colors on this night! Thank you!
When she raised this guitar up for Prince my eyes dripped hazy wet triple blink. WE LOVE YOU FOREVER PRINCE "And that's a mighty long time" 1983 to 1999 to 2008 to 2012 2014 to 2019 to present and forever F
livisusss Prince kicked Mayte into touch years ago and never had anything to do with her. She shouldnt have been there and as for her dance moves, i got 2 hip replacements and can dance better than this fame hungry gold digger who has been living off of Prince's name all these years.
Although heartbroken, this tribute compelled me to smile and dance through it. Sheila E was AMAZING! A beautiful tribute to our Beloved PRINCE!!! Just saw her last week and she is STUNNING and her performance, band, and entire show was PERFECTION!!! LOVE YOU SHEILA E!!!!💜💜💜🎤🎵
Every now and then my mind wanders to Prince. Such a wonderful soul. I find myself looking at this video several times and tears can’t help but fall. This tribute is so wonderful and I’m sure Prince would have been pleased
Super medley and great tribute to the Prince of Music. It's well known they were friends for many, many years. Shelia and Mayte are in real pain and both loved him deeply. RIP Prince. 💜
thank God for Shelia E. The roots Erica Badu Jennifer Hudson Bilal and the others on the show for a proper tribute. you can feel the love and lost they felt for his music
Making Prince real proud. Amazing performance! I can feel the love oozing out of them. So awesome for an awesome human being. God, I miss him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Purple One.
THE END WHEN SHEILA E AND MAYTA HELD THE GUAITAR UP AND PRINCE PICTURE OMG IT MADE ME CRY. THIS IS THE BEST TRIBUTE I HAVE EVER SEEN SHEILA E NEW BETTER THEN ANYONE SHE KNEW HIM BETTER THEN HIS OWN BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S.
No one before or after can encompass the sentiment, the energy, approval of Prince in spirit to this tribute. This is the standard and the excellence that only Prince could have taught...YASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Everybody else please take several seats and learn!
Every time I watch this amazing tribute I still can't believe that one of the greatest musician's and performers is really GONE!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING that you gave me, Prince!!!
*I can feel Sheila releasing the pain of Prince going and remembering all the years of eating them drums alive on stage with him and in the studio* Love them Both❤
No Denise Matthews loved that man ,and he loved her but he was in her words playing around in other playpen and she wasn't going to share she only needed one man but he needed more, he paid for her to have a kidney transplant they spoke up until the day she died and he was in Paris doing a concert Prince microphone and piano he ended up dedicating songs that were written for her though out the night to him telling stories about their relationship and Prince never spoke about any relationship during or after But he was compelled to speak about her That's because she had his heart And he had hers.
@@cocokippen7137 THANKS for the story I'm glad you were able to share it. Unfortunately MY opinion is MY own and don't feel it necessary for anybody to justify it...... That is why they are called OPINIONS 💜💜💜
@@angeladiaz3121luvnme I absolutely agree! I was just stating my opinion. I think Sheila is wonderful ..She definitely loved that man no question about it, The sad thing is he didn't marry the women that truly loved him. He ended up alone in the end and that's really sad. Have a wonderful evening /day..God Bless 🌼
The best tribute of ANY KIND I have seen all my life.... STILLL The way she came on stage during Erotic City you ALLLREADY KNEW she was about to CATCH A BODY!!!!. Her "swag" already had the fact that she knew it was on her to make it happen for her boy.
Bruno was ok but Sheila E is the best tribute by far. Sheila knew Prince and worked with Him so often, she had the medley nailed down perfectly. LOVE you Sheila E. Thank you for the best tribute ever!
No, I cry every time I watch this and I've watched it many times. He was a flawed but beautiful genius and Sheila E. probably knew him best. I'm still so sad. I went to Paisley Park last year for a tour and was glad I went but it was of course, sad, too.
The best tribute of all , prince and Shelia E had something special together. Madonna was a HUGE joke and you are blessed with something she does not have and that is talent . You are a beautiful talented person with a heart of gold and I wish you more great success.
These so called musicians and "artists" of today ain't got nothing on this Queen! Sheila E is is definitely one of the last true musicians of our time, and she can still kick ass, shes a legend!!!!!! This was awesome as always.
liv prince Want to thank you so much for this much better quality version of the Prince tribute show. I know I'm not the original person who mentioned but I was scrolling down and came upon your response to someone else complaining about the crappy quality of the BET show so I linked onto your recommended alternative link and it's incredible! So clear. Just wanted to acknowledge your thoughtfulness since it seems no one else has. Thanks again.
Man, I can't begin to tell you how lucky e Gen-xers were lucky to have Prince making music during our "formative years"! We got to experience his genius in real-time.
Shiela E. did it.! Don't forget Shelby J, Elisa Fiorello. Liv and the twins the people that Prince loved and adored. Mayte wasn't part of that equation.
@@bg3009 No she wasn't. Love Sheila E and this whole tribute was amazing but I'm sorry Mayte played a part in it - after seeing her on Hollywood Ex's making fun of Prince's clothes, killing herself laughing at them with the other women and then hearing her say (about her wedding dress) "Whoever thought a crappy wedding dress could get so much money". She went permanently down in my estimation after that. If you truly loved someone you'd never have belittled them like she did. Sheila E truly loved him with all her heart and always will and I'm sorry she wasn't the one who ended up with Prince. At the end it was Sheila E fighting back the tears while Mayte beamed from ear to ear. Pffft!
My first time seeing this, AWESOME performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always liked Sheila and she did a fantastic job putting this tribute together, Prince would be honored. Seeing her tears at the end brought tears to my eyes as well.
That whole night was just amazing. From Beyonce and Kendrick, to janelle Monae, to Jennifer Hudson and then Shelia E. Just amazing talent and great music.
This is how a Prince tribute should be done. Thank you Sheila! I know that was difficult for you. But you did Prince proud tonight.
Exactly ❤
You are so on point. I will never forget when I first met prince in Hollywood at a carwash just before his 1st concert of his "Dirty Mind" tour in 1982.j
Five years later and this performance still gives me chills. Get down Sheila E. RIP Prince
8 years later and I still bawl when I watch this. Sheila E… just a short time after Prince died… I don’t know how she kept it together during the performance.
The look on her face as she lowered the guitar down at the end of the performance… says it all. #Prince4Ever
This is the tribute Prince would have wanted... by the people he loved.
Except for mayte!!!
Yes love it but so sad he is no longer on earth 😭☹💔💔💔💜💜💜💜💜❤❤❤
💜🎸🎶This was TRULY a DIVINELY INSPIRED performance💞❗YO❗SHELBY WE👀👀👀👀👀U babygirl❗STILL HOLDIN IT DOWN 4PRINCE❗YAAASSASS❗🎸🎼💞💜💎💖🌹💋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sheila E is a Beautiful Lady. Her Tribute to Prince was great and She loves Children and she is very talented. She is down to earth and She loves Prince. Now that he died His Music WILL LIVE ON thru other people and thru His love and thru His passions
Wish he could of saw it. All his favourites together. So touching his true love came back to dance in it💜
Love Sheila E., she paid a wonderful tribute to a man she once loved. The pain on her face at the end is so real. Sheila E. is a class act.
That's the ticket right there! Love how they used intro 4 Shelia! Grand...clap!
Very emotional, including holding Prince's purple Cloud guitar. Perfect sendoff
Change once loved to loves.

I have watched this tribute more than once. Everytime, seeing Shelia and Mayte's faces at the end, always brings tears. God rest Prince's soul.
It does!!!!! They should make a poster of that last pose!!!!!!
same here :/
Verge of tears everytime I watch it!!! So perfect. That last pose should be a poster!
Same here.😥Jeanne Mulholland

THIS IS WHAT PRINCE WAS TRYING TO DO WITH SHEILA E.... ALL HER CAREER...THIS IS BEAUTIFUL....SHE PUT ON AN AMAZING SHOW ...TAKE IT ON THE ROAD....!!

Jerome was a nice touch! With that "tidali tidaly " looky looky in the mirror thing he did since I was 7 years old
"Love Bizarre" can beat any song being churned out today.
And Mayte his first wife by her side
Agreed!
Brian Eastburn I agree

Awesome
I hope you found god before his death and repented
I'm absolutely astounded by Sheila's performance and how much she honored Prince with her and her crews ability to give a show, in Prince's style. Absolutely fantastic. Love you bunches, Sheila.
This was Prince's crew, that what made it better!
Absolutely agee. It is hard to not take a artist for granted and not relize they are not going to live long.
You did it Sheila. You gave our Prince a proper send off.
It wasn't a send off it was tribute concert this was done about 4years after his passing, if I'm correct. It's hopefully a legacy I hope never fades.
@@anonymoususer5010 this happened like 4 months after he passed.
This was done beautifully. Seeing Sheila in tears at the end, makes me 😭
Damn she absolutely killed it... brilliant, Prince would absolutely love this
1000% Agreed🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Did you feel the end? Prince would have smiled. Sweet
5 years later, I still have tears running down my face watching this. Sheila, I am so proud of you. Every one did a bang up job of bringing Prince through. God that was fun! Great job!
I thought that it was just me crying after watching this performance. I'm glad to know that it affects so many others the same way.

Yes she did. I know he was smiling
Bad she is! I've never seen a drama Rock and kill the drums like she does! She gives me chills! Prince and Sheila E surround themselves with excellent Talent, each other!

Sheila and Prince band were the ones that knew him best which is why this performance was epic! Still coming back to watch in 2024.

Wow! Sheila E's love for Prince, beyond space and time, exudes from her every move, note and showmanship during this musical expression of love. Infinitely beautiful. Sheila E, you are amazing.
Eli Ump Agree with your comment. Sheila E had no designs on Prince, did not want anything from him or out of him, she just genuinely loved this guy.
The best Prince tribute. Period.
she's fantastic!...gorgeous....amazing!...thank you...love you Prince! 💕
It's cool she did a mix of the music he wrote for her and his music. It's perfect!
Thank u Shelia. ...done right
Michael jai white
Sheila E did a get down in the home stretch and a Prince Guitar raise. Bet that was a Prince guitar raised in the sky in the endr??
Really a nice tribute go shiela e
It was. She said so in an interview.
That particular "Cloud guitar" (So called because they fit the Cloud Suit that Prince wore in the "Raspberry Beret" video so well) is one of the original four that guitar builder Dave Rusan made Prince. It was his second White one he used in the "Purple rain" tour and after having it refinished black in the "Parade" tour. It later was his main cloud during the Lovesexy tour refinished light blue and brought back during the early 2000's era when he brought the name Prince back again, he can be seen playing the guitar, refinished Purlpe as it appears here, in the live show shot in Las vegas.
As for the other three.
The third was given away in a raffle when "Purple Rain" the movie premiered.
The fourth, finished in Yellow is in the Smithsonian museum.
And then there was the first, the one from the movie, that original one. Which was completely destroyed by Prince at the very last show of the "Parade" tour.
7:10: Jerome, we ain't done. I love it!
That was incredible. It must have been so hard for Sheila E. to pull that off. But She did and it was amazing! no matter what they say about Mayte, I still think she loved Prince. R.I.P. Purple One. I know you are playing music with the angels in heaven. We love you and miss you.

That was amazing!!!! Best Prince tribute ever!.....made me cry seeing her hold up the guitar. You could see how hurt she was 😞
Did u see prince ex wife standing next to her at the end. sheila is a real woman for bringing prince ex wife mayte to perform. nice of her to do that.
Agreed!! Mayte had EVERY right to be there!
They cool with each other! Beautiful thing
Sheila look like she was about to cry, his EX mayte had that stupid look on her face, Prince cut her off a long time ago, beautiful send off..
Mayte and Sheila E are actually good fiends
agreed!
No one before or after can encompass the sentiment, the energy, approval of Prince in spirit to this tribute. This is the standard and the excellence that only Prince could have taught...YASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Everybody else please take several seats and learn!

nobody is topping that ever
TOTALLY agree!!
Mohammad Ali y'all spoke too soon Bruno did
I fucks with Bruno, But what are you talkin bout???? Mohammad Ali was and still is correct my guy.
Bruno was ok but Sheila E is the best tribute by far. Sheila knew Prince and worked with
Him so often, she had the medley nailed down perfectly. LOVE you Sheila E. Thank you for the best tribute ever!
Mohammad Ali I think madonna meant well but that tribute sucked
Bless you, Sheila My strongest hope is that this show eventually brings you peace
Sheila, The Twins, Mayte all together we're amazing. Miss Rosie, Boni Boyer, The Revolution, The NPG, Diamond and Pearl, etc. Sheila E rocked it!!
only prince could introduce her.always reconizing his band members.
Is it weird I was in tears by the end of this?
No, I cry every time I watch this and I've watched it many times. He was a flawed but beautiful genius and Sheila E. probably knew him best. I'm still so sad. I went to Paisley Park last year for a tour and was glad I went but it was of course, sad, too.
I cry everytime. And I'm man who doesn't cry so easily...
Nooo im crying my eyes out
Not at all!!!!
Not at all!!!
The best tribute of all , prince and Shelia E had something special together. Madonna was a HUGE joke and you are blessed with something she does not have and that is talent . You are a beautiful talented person with a heart of gold and I wish you more great success.
That gave me the chills!!!!! Prince is definitely proud of her!!
That performance gave me so much life! The best prince Tribute ever!
Now Sheila E. Put on a show....as a fan this is what I was looking for ! BRAVO BRAVO !!
This was definitely the best tribute to our amazing Prince.
These so called musicians and "artists" of today ain't got nothing on this Queen! Sheila E is is definitely one of the last true musicians of our time, and she can still kick ass, shes a legend!!!!!! This was awesome as always.
Sheila E is one great performer and still have what it takes to stay on top of the music game.
Everytime I watch this tribute I cannot hold my tears seeing Sheila, Mayte, Jerome performing together on stage.
Such a shame there isn't a better quality version of this!

Phangmaster this is it so far
liv prince Want to thank you so much for this much better quality version of the Prince tribute show. I know I'm not the original person who mentioned but I was scrolling down and came upon your response to someone else complaining about the crappy quality of the BET show so I linked onto your recommended alternative link and it's incredible! So clear. Just wanted to acknowledge your thoughtfulness since it seems no one else has. Thanks again.
@@GODDESS1966 You're Welcome! I'm glad that you ran across it!
@Deborah Battle You're welcome! I search high and low for clearer copies and it pays off...happy to help
Very beautiful Sheila E ......she did an excellent job in this video.......
Best tribute . She really had the right vibe and spirit. And Mayte is still hot as fuck!
Watched this again just now and it still made me cry. The ONLY person who puts heart and soul into singing his songs.
Toni-Anita Edwards me too
Toni-Anita Edwards girl bye
To perform like that with a broken heart, wow. Their faces at the end made me tear up. Great tribute.
Can't think of anyone more fitting to do a tribute to Prince and DAMN! she did it well.
Alright, Sheila for bringing the Housequake!
Sister went _deep_ into the back catalog for this set.
Sheila E was the Perfect Choice... Funk On!
She loved him and he loved her, totally fitting tribute 😢❤❤
Now thats a Prince Tribute!
Thank you Shelia. Outstanding and very relevant. So much love for you and Prince.
Perfection. The choreography, segues, musicianship and attitude are all so Prince.
Man, I can't begin to tell you how lucky e Gen-xers were lucky to have Prince making music during our "formative years"! We got to experience his genius in real-time.
Awesome Awesome tribute Love Sheila E from one great to another Great rip Prince Roger Nelson
That is totally off the hook,wow what a performance,Prince would be so proud,just fabulous
epic she and Bruno really gave prince one hell of a tribute.
Candy Girl AND BILAL!
Met Sheila E in St Louis many years ago thru my sister, Jamie Shoop…..fantastic artist….thanks for this tribute.
Well done Shelia E....i 💘 you.
Sheila E and Myte did it!
Shiela E. did it.!
Don't forget Shelby J, Elisa Fiorello. Liv and the twins the people that Prince loved and adored.
Mayte wasn't part of that equation.
@@bg3009 No she wasn't. Love Sheila E and this whole tribute was amazing but I'm sorry Mayte played a part in it - after seeing her on Hollywood Ex's making fun of Prince's clothes, killing herself laughing at them with the other women and then hearing her say (about her wedding dress) "Whoever thought a crappy wedding dress could get so much money". She went permanently down in my estimation after that. If you truly loved someone you'd never have belittled them like she did. Sheila E truly loved him with all her heart and always will and I'm sorry she wasn't the one who ended up with Prince. At the end it was Sheila E fighting back the tears while Mayte beamed from ear to ear. Pffft!
Amazing tribute, the best tribute ever seen for any artist, and Sheila E was the perfect one to do this, no one could have done this better
My first time seeing this, AWESOME performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always liked Sheila and she did a fantastic job putting this tribute together, Prince would be honored. Seeing her tears at the end brought tears to my eyes as well.
A wonderful tribute.

Wow that encapsulated Prince. And when they held his guitar up at the end😭😭😭🤚🏻wow.
Sheila e. is my favorite artist. She is amazing! Read 'the Beat of my own drum' a memoir of her life.
That whole night was just amazing. From Beyonce and Kendrick, to janelle Monae, to Jennifer Hudson and then Shelia E. Just amazing talent and great music.
This was a beautiful tribute ! She knew and loved him personally so you can feel her dedication to the performance! Good job Shelia.
Thank you Shelia E and the band, best performance for our Prince......RIP
Just beautiful! I cried the whole performance! Felt every lyric in my soul I will miss you Prince!
