Prince has always been beyond exceptional! He is the ONLY entertainer that could walk into a studio and come out with a hit by himself! Music is not the same without him! There will never be another like him. On a more pertinent note, this is one of my favorite performances. That breakdown is so funky! Just drippin' with funk! Nobody could do it like Prince!
You just witnessed greatness. Prince’s award show performances are LE GEN DAR Y!!! Well, I think all of his performances are, but you got it exactly right. Who comes close to putting on a performance like that at an AWARD SHOW?!?!? You should check out his 1985 performance of Purple Rain at the American Music Awards. There are also great performances at the Brit Awards, ALMA Awards, NAACP Awards. He is the absolute best to ever do it.
Prince`s rules on performances: There are no rules! He could look like a ballerina,a limping basketball player,a breakdancer,a funky adrenaline junkie all in the same performance. I miss him soo much,my absolute favourite solo male artist of ALL TIME!
Great reaction ❤ I would like to point out that Prince was one of the entertains that brought the Baroque hybrid fashion to the for front . At the time it was called THE NEW ROMANTIC. He was beautiful. #peaceandstaywild
Bro Isn’t he something! 🥰 He never disappoints me .. and I slipped down the Prince rabbit hole over 40 years ago! 💜 I thank you for allowing me to love Prince in another way! I’m enjoying watching your amazement ! 🤗 Blessings ❤️🙏🏽
he played james brown, jimmie hendricks, also MJ and the beatles and the quuen. He was the Picasso of music. Taking all the tradicion and makinng something else of it. We will study him in universities. but seriously.
He always brought that kind of energy! Check out live from Syracuse in 1985! Or Sign O the Times, no one could touch Prince as a musician or live performer, no one!
Purple Rain was definitely Prince’s most commercially successful album, but I certainly wouldn’t call it his best. Most of the folks I know that know P’s discography front to back don’t even have Purple Rain in their top 10 albums. 😂🫣 Speaking of hype Prince, I’d love to see your reaction to this performance that was just released a few weeks ago: th-cam.com/video/Zr2atdgwIL8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1M8nl_XKqdwnCMm7 It’s at a club P owned here in Minneapolis, and he always cut loose in his hometown. He gets up on the bar to dance and everything. 😂 As far as the energy in the video you just reacted to though, no adderall, just B12 vitamin shots before shows for the extra energy. 💜
@Hazesoundwaves I think it was more of a coronation. Thriller was still in it's campaign when Motown 25 happened. What I remember back then was Prince had just broke through with Little Red Corvette in 83' and it impacted the second half of his 1999 Tour. He was still a cult artist by the time Mike did 25. The trajectory for Prince was surprising and kind of irritating to MJ and his fans because it was sudden. Border line Underground artist with one legit pop hit who never does interviews gets major motion picture?. A lot of folks went to the movie just to see him talk lol. I don't believe he cared about an MJ 25 moment and he probably loved it as much as he did lol. Prince is unique because his great live moments came late in his career. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitar solo and Super Bowl were his MJ 25 moments. Those two allowed people to see once and for all that the 2 completely different things. In the 80's white folks were still catching there breaths over MJ and then here comes Prince. Lazily they thought, androgynous black guy singing in high registers, they must be enemies or competing for the same thing. I'm pretty sure they've enjoyed a good laugh together about how we view them as rivals.
Dope reaction. Shared w peeps. Every night was high energy. Performances you LL prob dig by prince: "Head" 1981 Houston that's your clutch my pearls performance "Computer blue/darlin Nikki" Atlanta "Sign on the times"1987 MTV music awards "Love sexy 88" concert Germany which was a high energy hits show, done in medley form. U can prob get 8 songs in a 15min reaction. "Cool/don't stop" 2013 montreaux u will groove to that. "Old friends for sale" 2013 montreaux
Prince crashed the stage and the universe that night. He owned the world. He seemed as Mohament Ali or James Brown who had their cape after the end of show or victory fight, but Prince just threw it to the crowd and left the building demolished into ashes. Moonwalking...who cares?
I miss him so much. Those splits did a job on his hips. Thus the pain medication in his final years.
THERE WILL NEVER B ANOTHER!!!!!

Prince is the best to ever do it! I so wish I born back then. I would’ve saw him a million times 😭

Isn’t he something! 🥰
He never disappoints me .. and I slipped down the Prince rabbit hole over 40 years ago! 💜
I thank you for allowing me to love Prince in another way!
I’m enjoying watching your amazement ! 🤗
Blessings ❤️🙏🏽
insane performance, my favorite of him (and all other artists actually) so far
We'll never get this period again. What a time.
Even back then Prince had enough in his arsenal to turn one song into damn near a whole set
I was in 8th grade and the next day at school we were all talking about this.
"Oh PRINCE?...Now he 1 BAD motha-f*ckah" - Miles Davis
I LOVE when Charlie Murphy tells Prince stories, on "Chapelle's Show "! R.I.P., genius.
I remember I watched this live that night I was dancing in my chair I was 14 then.
he played james brown, jimmie hendricks, also MJ and the beatles and the quuen. He was the Picasso of music. Taking all the tradicion and makinng something else of it. We will study him in universities. but seriously.
He already has studies given at Juliard University by Susan Roger's,PhD
He always brought that kind of energy! Check out live from Syracuse in 1985! Or Sign O the Times, no one could touch Prince as a musician or live performer, no one!
❤❤❤ such a talent gone way too soon 😔 His Superbowl 1/2 time show was awesome!
Prince is THE GOD OF MUSIC 🎶 🎵
That my friends is fukcn Rock and roll...Take that u old rolling stones
Those splits were created by the Nicholas Brothers.....Way b4 Michael and james but Prince knew
True 💯💯💯
Prince is a bad MF

Damn you. Now I have One in a Million by Larry Graham stuck in my head. 😂😂😂😂
Also, It’s Gonna Be a Beautiful Night from the Sign O the Times movie is super hype too. 🔥
Wow, that’s crazy if Hardcore Prince fans don’t have Purple Rain as No.1. I gotta check out more of his discography.
Yeah this one solidified Him he shut the mouths of all the nay Sayers
I think he's a little anxious in this one. It's his coronation to the very top of the industry. It's the top stars and executives in that crowd.
That makes sense….so it’s like his MJ Motown 25 moment.
