+Maria V...........thanks for posting that link. I have seen it somewhere before , but I so enjoy Sheila E and her style so unique and definately her own.
I love her! She's awesome! What a beautiful tribute she gave to our beloved Prince! I know Sheila did him proud! His spirit was channeling through her -- it was beyond words!!
awe man.. why you gotta say 'at her age'? ;) I know you dont mean harm, but let's say "she still looks glamorous". Maybe I'm sensitive cuz Im getting up there in age - Ive had girls I work with say "some old lady...like 50.." blah blah blah.. Im like, 'dang, Im 49!!'
+jamileena , 😄😄😄 IKR, ....I SAW SHEILA E. WITH PRINCE IN CONCERT)...ONE of THE 5 TIMES I SAW PRINCE, ABOUT 37 YEARS AGO), AND SHE 'STILL' LOOKS GOOD!! 👍👍I'M LIKE, ..."YOU GO, GIRL!!" 😎😄😄😊😎
Thank you Sheila E. Your tribute performance @ the BET Awards was absolutely the best!!! I love watching you & prince over the many years...Also, very touched by Mayte bonding with you for the tribute. I admire and adore you beautiful ladies!!! You both outdid yourselfs over and over #magnificent!!! May God bless and keep you as always...
I don't normally watch award shows but I watched this one because of Prince. BET did a great job and Sheila E stole the show. I almost cried myself and I don't cry. Amazing job. I was happy to see Mayte also included.
People are debating here about whether they were soulmates?Really? Obviously yes and he did propose to her. She couldn't marry him but always loved him.They were in love with each other before they even met in person. Their chemistry and connection was off the charts.Still is.
Man she looks good for 59!!! I respect her as a musician- an excellent drummer. Prince asked Sheila to marry him back in the 80's but it never came to be but, through the years, she remained a true friend! A real classy lady!
I've been totally in love with Sheila Escovedo from her days with George Duke (RIP) before she hooked up with Prince and became Sheila E. She was, and still is, such a beautiful person!
I think Sheila and Prince were soul mate's. The musical talent they shared was incredible. Breaks my heart that Prince is gone 💔 I'd love to meet Sheila someday. She did an amazing tribute for him.
Yeah, aging like a fine wine! Her name even sounds like a fine wine, if pronounced just the right way: "I'll take a bottle of Sheila Escoveedo, 1959, please." O.K., on second thought...maybe not. But she is aging like a fine wine, no doubt.
MISS SHEILA E. SO SUPER. SHE IS A WOMAN WITH SO MUCH MUSIC AND EXPERIENCE. WITH ULTIMATE ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE....I THINK SHE DOES RESIDENCIES AND WORKSHOPS..I WANNA LEARN FROM A PRO WHO REALLY KNOWS AND HAS BEEN THERE... LOVE YOU SHEILA !!!
What a talented,wholesome,Gifted,true to her soul Daddy's girl. You are an amazing gift from God. Every one that made contact with da GENIUS loved & lost him2. Though U hurt more, U are not alone on this boat. Looking 4wd 2seeing U2 make more music again sumday on the "BIG STAGE". Until then, keep smiling. It is well.
Awwww....me too!! To me, Sheila E was truly Prince's soulmate....only he was meant for her and she was meant for him. But sadly marriage wasn't meant for Prince.....he was truly married to his music💔😟
+MsVanillaSugar So true. Prince is an amazing Artist! I think its weird all of Prince's women.... Shelia E, Vanity, Apollonia,Carmen Electra and many more never had children with or without Prince
Wow....that's an interesting point you made....and so true. Those women were soooo smitten and in love with Prince that they never got pass their love for him. Not even allowing themselves to be loved by somebody else. Truly sad🙁
YOU are One of The most Real Human Beings HE had a chance to spend time with... Your family rocks and brought up a super shiny star in you......inside and out. The Bay loves you girrrrl.
hi again friends out there I so agree with you ladies and gentlemen, mostly ladies sheila e was such an amazing friend and more but there was always deep love between them I'm also touched by her and myate together very sweet and emotional very classy lady's whom both loved prince in different yet same prince must be smiling in purple heaven rip sweet one always rica demarco Scott Russell peace hasta luego
miss these artists sound already, Sheila E, Madhouse, Family, Wendy and Lisa, Taja Saville, an so on and so on. Hope they do paisley reunion with the NPG etc in UK too.
Her face when she had to name all those people who supposedly loved him who didn't show up.... It was like she was embarrassed for them. I know I would be! And besides, what were they doing that kept them so busy? I don't see an album or tour or show or anything from these people sooooo....what gives? Family problems? Shoot, I wanted to see Larry, Morris, Wendy n Lisa, etc at the tribute but whatever I guess. I'm kind of disappointed in them but if they really couldn't make it then ok. Thank God Jerome was there!
That's what I'm saying.....she said on a interview the other day I looked at that she hadn't talked to Prince in over 8 months. What kind of friend is that? But now she all on TV crying. I think she just trying to profit from his death. She haven't had a song out in years and now that Prince is gone she gonna come out with a new one. She know it's going to sell because everybody is missing them some Prince.
Don't have to talk everyday to be connected.She said they loved each other unconditionally and always had each other's back. She did for him what she knew he would do for her.
Really Larry Graham couldn't make it!! He brought him into the modern age let's be truth I didn't know anything about Larry Graham until Prince made him into his band! Sheila E was the perfect person to do this tribute she was his Lover and friend that's real she knew him so well! The BET tribute was perfect!💜
Larry Graham had his own funk band....Graham Central Station.In late 1972, Larry Graham quit Sly & the Family Stone because of tension between Larry and group leader Sly Stone and started his own band. They had some great hits.
I wasn't really surprised or upset that Larry, or even Chaka Khan didn't show for BET's Prince tribute. Emotions, binding commitments, religious reasons(JWs supposedly aren't into publically glorifying the dead, even when its one of their own), etc. Sometimes things just happen. Besides, its not like their participation in the tribute was somehow gonna miraculously bring the Kid back to this world. Its all love though; I think we're all still in shock and grief. RIP Purple One.
NO DISRESPECT INTENTED. I SIMPLY AM MISSING * PRINCE** I SIMPLY CALL HIM **** SIR PURPLE BADDNESS*** WE LOVE THE RECORDING ARTIST SIDE WE LOVE THE PERFORMANCE SIDE.......A REAL GENUIS.......A REAL ONE !!!!
Help me understand...all yall close to him saying how much you loved him...but he was alone when he died...I'm a nobody but if I knew he was in crisis I would have been there 24/7 until he was stable in rehab...but now you going on tour??????
Carol, please don't blame Sheila. Their relationship was complex after going through a recent breakup. I know she would have been there if she could have. She didn't see him for a couple months bc it was hard at the time. Agree with you 100% that Judith should have stayed with him & cared all the way instead of half the way if she was going to be with him, but... I hear ppl judging Sheila for going on tour- She loved him with all of her heart! I saw the depth of her emotion when I met her before all this. Look up her songs Rockstar, Who I am Now, Leader of the Band & new one Girl Meets Boy to see that. Writing new songs about him & wanting to perform them with others is her grieving process & genuine
because they didn't know. He never told him. Only one person knew. It was his protege, Judith Hill. she witnessed him collapse/nearly die and then she beckoned for him to get some help. I think she started telling other people that he needed help. He agreed somewhat quickly to get treatment. It was very soon then that he passed away :(
hi! guy's rosie gaines is sick it was said that she was homeless also. you can Google that it comes up. now sheila e. wasn't the only muse!in prince's life when he asked her to marry him he had another young lady living at paisley park.you see he had a type light bright damm near white. oh he did have some white ones he liked he meet kim Basinger on batman set.and didn't even go out for his tour. not only jill jones it was more.in between sheila! i know this was his bussiness one of the girl's came out talked about the orgys that went down. i still loved him as an artist and icon.😚
damn but i heard he was with this model who is dark skinned. now she making herself known more since his death. that was his gf from what the media had said also his fans said it too. prince liked woman all kinds and shapes.
+sabrina thegoodwitch I think you're speaking of Damaris Lewis or something like that. Nobody knew if they were actually a couple. I've read they were just good friends and supposedly prince was celibate for awhile before his death. Who knows that was probably bs lol
I was part of all the "friends " who wanted you and NPG and some people from the revolution and NOT Madonna, so I and million people were happy you did it, to us it was pure logic!
I think a few weeks before he died, his protege (Judith Hill) told him to get some help. She said he was really trying to get better and agreed. Probably less than a month later he died :(
Carol Whitaker No one can intervene when its your time to go. Everyone is thinking he took drugs because he was an addict. No he took drugs for health reasons. I believe he knew he was going to die and didn't want to do it in a hospital bed. Prince did it his way respect that. He was a genius not a drug addict.
Okay...What in the HELL was Larry Graham doing that he couldn't bring his 900 year old ass to the BET Awards for a Prince Tribute?? Really, Larry?? I'm confused...
Very proud of Sheila E. She was awesome and she is an amazing person. Very disappointed with Chaka, Larry G, Davis ( really?), Morris Day who had "other commitments". Very disappointed - my opinion has changed about them after this.
Ya, they are too upbeat and those questions seem to stab Sheila a little in the heart-Im glad I didn't see the rest of it, I feel bad for her, they were so tight. Ive lost a few close friends over the years, she's holding it together very well. I cried at the end of the BET show, the blue guitar... the look on her face, the things she must have been feeling. Such a loss.
+jamileena Ohhh I know!! Bless her broken heart. For a minute there, she looked like she was stuffing her tears back so hard she could punch somebody....and then so so sad. I just felt such empathy for her. But I felt like she helped kick start the grieving process for his fans (us). He should have been given a stately funeral worthy of musical royalty.
ALL OF THIS!!!! He should have been given a stately funeral I mean COME ON, it was PRINCE for God's sake and they just cremated him the day after he died, like wth? Maybe that was a personal wish for him, I don't know but I thought there would have been a funeral where his fans could pay their respects.
+MissLittleTee yeah, but a minimum of 4 months after his death? ...kinda scratching my head about that one..and I agree, he should have been celebrated Home in a stately procession and eulogies and poignant photos and film clips of his professional persona and personal self. But since that didn't happen, Sheilas tribute did seem to kick off the grieving process. And her song "Boy and Girl"... 😢😭😭 If you need to cry...this is that song.
My wife often wonders why I so look forward to taking our pets to the local veterinary clinic. It's because our pet's doctor is so fine, she could just about pass herself off as being Sheila E.'s daughter...if she had one. (Yeah, I KNOW! Now how cool is THAT, right?) Yup, on the outside, I exemplify the very essence of confidence around her. On the inside, meanwhile, I'm makin' Jerry Lewis look like The Fonz. If I actually did meet Sheila E. out here, on the streets of Las Vegas, I'd probably DIE...with a smile on my face, of course.
Ka-ching! *plays the intro to Pink Floyd's 'Money'. Oh, it's about me, about my story, about my tribute, about me, me, me... ME... what am I doing... me, hahaha my mind is sliding, me, ME. "The Paisley Park Family"??? That's a first. The reason why The Revolution, maybe even The Family, key members of The Time, Vanity 6, heck even Mazarati, Madhouse, The Flesh (I may have lost non-Superfans), didn't join the Sheila E show... cough, tribute I mean... was because they were mourning, not promotttinnng. .::Modernaire
my guess is to keep the tribute on Prince.....and not have the storyline being about how Prince had 3 lovers onstage at the same time and whatever other silly story the media would come up with, or spin. Its one thing to have Mayte be a surprise appearance, and dance, as she was a dancer. Its an entire other thing to have Manuela just.....appear.
Manuela really wasn't in the business that way. I think she was more involved with his charity organizations. Which is how they met. She is opening a school in his honor, she called to tell him that. I'm so glad he knew before he left us.
I must say..that I really don't believe that beautiful princess is gone.... I just don't believe it... the reason why is..they didn't have a wake for prince...for family and friends... plus they said they cremated him the very next day.... doesn't. sound right to me...then about his will....nobody was in his will...nobody.....that is strange in it self... and what about paisley. park.... his dream home... all of this just don't add.up... u people may not know this but. did u know that Elvis Presley faked his own death ...yes he did...he's still alive. today he's 83years young... do the research on him it's amazing what u will find out... plus 2pac..he's been seen alive and in very good health... he's been seen in Cuba.... lots of friends of his visit him.again all of this information is true...now about prince... I believe that he was tired...needed a very long break.. I believe in my heart that he's still alive... too dammm young.to leave this world... plus he's always eat good.took care of his self. buy yes he did work his self too hard.... alot of things just don't add up to me.and paisley. park . has his music for sale.... the. estate of prince is doing the music releases...check it out..if u need to get his music... to prince... if u did pass. u r greatly Missed be millions of fans...and there will never be another prince.....l love u Sweet man...again.. I hope u just faked your death to get away...... an get the rest u sooo need...remember alot of things just don't add up about u prince.....
Shelia E is a true friend. Thank you Shelia for honoring Prince with dignity after his death.
She has a clear energy. Positive and enlightening. Keeping anything about Prince to herself. She and Prince had a bond that nothing would ever break.
She told some stories about Prince in her memoir.

+Maria V...........thanks for posting that link. I have seen it somewhere before , but I so enjoy Sheila E and her style so unique and definately her own.
Wonderful tribute and so glad Mayte was there. When you brought Prince's guitar though i cried. We lost one of the best.
I love her! She's awesome! What a beautiful tribute she gave to our beloved Prince! I know Sheila did him proud! His spirit was channeling through her -- it was beyond words!!
Exactly, Prince was moving through her and I feel he will always be around her to protect her.
I agree spot on!!Prince was there in spirit. #princesilentguitar.

+Keigirl so typical of any show.......saved best for last.
This girl always backed it up with pure talent! Love her!
Sheila E. still look glamorous at her age.
awe man.. why you gotta say 'at her age'? ;) I know you dont mean harm, but let's say "she still looks glamorous". Maybe I'm sensitive cuz Im getting up there in age - Ive had girls I work with say "some old lady...like 50.." blah blah blah.. Im like, 'dang, Im 49!!'

The best Tribute ever Awesome.....he would have loved this...
Sheila E great job at the BET Awards, you rocked it
she is a graceful woman. God bless!!
People are debating here about whether they were soulmates?Really? Obviously yes and he did propose to her. She couldn't marry him but always loved him.They were in love with each other before they even met in person. Their chemistry and connection was off the charts.Still is.
His silent guitar.... that truth fell hard on my heart. 😳
💜 Very hard!
Man she looks good for 59!!!
I respect her as a musician- an excellent drummer.
Prince asked Sheila to marry him back in the 80's but it never came to be but, through the years, she remained a true friend!
A real classy lady!
Shelia E is amazing Her and Prince great together.
Sheila E is more Gorgeous than ever and beautiful spirit and talent to boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been totally in love with Sheila Escovedo from her days with George Duke (RIP) before she hooked up with Prince and became Sheila E.
She was, and still is, such a beautiful person!
I think Sheila and Prince were soul mate's. The musical talent they shared was incredible. Breaks my heart that Prince is gone 💔 I'd love to meet Sheila someday. She did an amazing tribute for him.
sheila did an awesome tribute. Hats off to you sheila!
She had heart and courage to pull something off so epic She actually loved Prince so much deeply i need a friend just like that who understands
Sheila E is so beautiful. ...😍💜💜
YUPPERZ!!!
There will never be another Prince. He rocked it !!! RIP
I LOVE YOU PRINCE AND SHEILA E AND THE REVOLUTION WENDY ET LISA AND NPG....AND ALL MUSIC OF PRINCE FOREVER !
Love this woman, she is real! And still as beautiful as ever.
So true
Yeah, aging like a fine wine! Her name even sounds like a fine wine, if pronounced just the right way: "I'll take a bottle of Sheila Escoveedo, 1959, please." O.K., on second thought...maybe not. But she is aging like a fine wine, no doubt.
Hmm I thought Chaka was there or it was a woman that resembled her but I watched in bits and pieces
Yes, Chaka's another one. Class all the way!
Sheila you were AMAZING
Queen Sheila!
Sheila didn't need anyone on stage with her for the tribute. It was perfect.
#PrinceSheilaE4ever
I have always loved them as a couple!
#LoveU4EverMyPrince💜💜💜

I LOVED Sheila E's BET performance. For a hot minute I kinda forgot that Prince wasn't there!
Sheila E you are very pretty indeed! Beautiful lady!
What a talented,wholesome,Gifted,true to her soul Daddy's girl. You are an amazing gift from God. Every one that made contact with da GENIUS loved & lost him2. Though U hurt more, U are not alone on this boat. Looking 4wd 2seeing U2 make more music again sumday on the "BIG STAGE". Until then, keep smiling. It is well.
I wish Shelia E and Prince got married and had beautiful talented children together.
Awwww....me too!! To me, Sheila E was truly Prince's soulmate....only he was meant for her and she was meant for him. But sadly marriage wasn't meant for Prince.....he was truly married to his music💔😟
+MsVanillaSugar So true. Prince is an amazing Artist! I think its weird all of Prince's women.... Shelia E, Vanity, Apollonia,Carmen Electra and many more never had children with or without Prince
I believe Appolonia has a daughter.
Wow....that's an interesting point you made....and so true. Those women were soooo smitten and in love with Prince that they never got pass their love for him. Not even allowing themselves to be loved by somebody else. Truly sad🙁
+MsVanillaSugar I still can't believe Prince is gone. RIP Beautiful One🎸
Sheila E is so elegant and amazing 😘

LOVE YOU SHEILA!!
I love u Sheila E.
miss these artists sound already, Sheila E, Madhouse, Family, Wendy and Lisa, Taja Saville, an so on and so on. Hope they do paisley reunion with the NPG etc in UK too.
Her face when she had to name all those people who supposedly loved him who didn't show up....
It was like she was embarrassed for them. I know I would be! And besides, what were they doing that kept them so busy? I don't see an album or tour or show or anything from these people sooooo....what gives? Family problems? Shoot, I wanted to see Larry, Morris, Wendy n Lisa, etc at the tribute but whatever I guess. I'm kind of disappointed in them but if they really couldn't make it then ok. Thank God Jerome was there!
PrettyTiaF right !! I was so excited to see Jerome !! They can always count on him 💜✊🏾
The most awesome tribute..........OMG!
I love Sheila E
Sheila don't watch music she make it lol
it's weird in 2014 during her book launch that she said she and Prince didn't talk and that they drifted apart.
That's what I'm saying.....she said on a interview the other day I looked at that she hadn't talked to Prince in over 8 months. What kind of friend is that? But now she all on TV crying. I think she just trying to profit from his death. She haven't had a song out in years and now that Prince is gone she gonna come out with a new one. She know it's going to sell because everybody is missing them some Prince.
Don't have to talk everyday to be connected.She said they loved each other unconditionally and always had each other's back. She did for him what she knew he would do for her.
Thank you Sheila e.you gave an amazing tribute to prince.you could feel the love for him.x
Esta Hermosa.
fortitude my dear Shelia, your mind said slide your body said "hold on, how far..."?
Really Larry Graham couldn't make it!! He brought him into the modern age let's be truth I didn't know anything about Larry Graham until Prince made him into his band! Sheila E was the perfect person to do this tribute she was his Lover and friend that's real she knew him so well! The BET tribute was perfect!💜
Larry Graham had his own funk band....Graham Central Station.In late 1972, Larry Graham quit Sly & the Family Stone because of tension between Larry and group leader Sly Stone and started his own band. They had some great hits.
Also Drake's uncle so I heard.
AMANDA BLACKWELL
Larry was a blood sucker..I hate what he turned prince into..although they worked well together.."motherless child" spain. Amazing.
Keep the music alive, Sheila E
I wonder why The Time, Chaka, and Larry didn't show. It was an amazing tribute regardless. Sheila did her thing!
Morris Day and the Time as well as Larry Graham were in London on a previous engagement during the awards.
James Pearson Ahh I see, thanks!
Shoot, I was looking for everyone! Rosie Gaines, Diamond and Pearl, Tevin Cambell, Cat, Jill Jones, Dez Dickerson, Carmen Electra, EVERYBODY. LOL
+Britt S
yeah me too...and Erik Leeds, Dr Fink, Wendy and Lisa, Andre Cymone!
+Stephanie Oden , Did you 'see' Alexander O'Neal?

can someone pls put a link so I can watch her part
💋💋💋
Don't knw if y'all saw the tribute but it was fucking AMAZING!
I love Sheila E! She's cool. I am getting a copy of her memoir from amazon.com.
I wasn't really surprised or upset that Larry, or even Chaka Khan didn't show for BET's Prince tribute. Emotions, binding commitments, religious reasons(JWs supposedly aren't into publically glorifying the dead, even when its one of their own), etc. Sometimes things just happen. Besides, its not like their participation in the tribute was somehow gonna miraculously bring the Kid back to this world. Its all love though; I think we're all still in shock and grief. RIP Purple One.
🎭💕
NO DISRESPECT INTENTED. I SIMPLY AM MISSING * PRINCE** I SIMPLY CALL HIM **** SIR PURPLE BADDNESS*** WE LOVE THE RECORDING ARTIST SIDE WE LOVE THE PERFORMANCE SIDE.......A REAL GENUIS.......A REAL ONE !!!!
Who are those two presenters. How on earth did they get that job. ??
Yeah asking ridiculous questions.Looks like the standards for TV hosts have dropped.
never saw Scrubs?
Help me understand...all yall close to him saying how much you loved him...but he was alone when he died...I'm a nobody but if I knew he was in crisis I would have been there 24/7 until he was stable in rehab...but now you going on tour??????
Carol, please don't blame Sheila. Their relationship was complex after going through a recent breakup. I know she would have been there if she could have. She didn't see him for a couple months bc it was hard at the time. Agree with you 100% that Judith should have stayed with him & cared all the way instead of half the way if she was going to be with him, but... I hear ppl judging Sheila for going on tour- She loved him with all of her heart! I saw the depth of her emotion when I met her before all this. Look up her songs Rockstar, Who I am Now, Leader of the Band & new one Girl Meets Boy to see that. Writing new songs about him & wanting to perform them with others is her grieving process & genuine
because they didn't know. He never told him. Only one person knew. It was his protege, Judith Hill. she witnessed him collapse/nearly die and then she beckoned for him to get some help. I think she started telling other people that he needed help. He agreed somewhat quickly to get treatment. It was very soon then that he passed away :(
hi! guy's rosie gaines is sick it was said that she was homeless also. you can Google that it comes up. now sheila e. wasn't the only muse!in prince's life when he asked her to marry him he had another young lady living at paisley park.you see he had a type light bright damm near white. oh he did have some white ones he liked he meet kim Basinger on batman set.and didn't even go out for his tour. not only jill jones it was more.in between sheila! i know this was his bussiness one of the girl's came out talked about the orgys that went down. i still loved him as an artist and icon.😚
damn but i heard he was with this model who is dark skinned. now she making herself known more since his death. that was his gf from what the media had said also his fans said it too. prince liked woman all kinds and shapes.
+sabrina thegoodwitch I think you're speaking of Damaris Lewis or something like that. Nobody knew if they were actually a couple. I've read they were just good friends and supposedly prince was celibate for awhile before his death. Who knows that was probably bs lol
Elizabeth Verdugo if he wasnt having sex then shit i was with him then. lmao
whaaaaaaaaaat? ROSIE?!? She has a great voice, why didn't she cut more albums?!?!?
Sheila E and BET did the tribute to prince right!! Not like the old woman walking down the stairs
I was part of all the "friends " who wanted you and NPG and some people from the revolution and NOT Madonna, so I and million people were happy you did it, to us it was pure logic!
for so bad for her she lost her best friend Prince.
I'm not trying to be mean...I'm still grieving too!!! It just seems to me there could have been an intervention...That's true love...imjs
I think a few weeks before he died, his protege (Judith Hill) told him to get some help. She said he was really trying to get better and agreed. Probably less than a month later he died :(
Carol Whitaker No one can intervene when its your time to go. Everyone is thinking he took drugs because he was an addict. No he took drugs for health reasons. I believe he knew he was going to die and didn't want to do it in a hospital bed. Prince did it his way respect that. He was a genius not a drug addict.
Okay...What in the HELL was Larry Graham doing that he couldn't bring his 900 year old ass to the BET Awards for a Prince Tribute?? Really, Larry?? I'm confused...
Yes that is strange that Larry Graham and Chaka khan was not at his tribute! Guilt
Chaka Khan just entered rehab. www.chakakhan.com/news/official-statement-chaka-khan-rehab/
Lol... Damn, 900 year old ass... It's cuz it was BET...
Yeah that's messed up good Lord
If this is true prayers for Chaka K
She was awesome!! Madonna who?
Very proud of Sheila E. She was awesome and she is an amazing person. Very disappointed with Chaka, Larry G, Davis ( really?), Morris Day who had "other commitments". Very disappointed - my opinion has changed about them after this.
Chaka had to go to rehab. Hope she recovers.She did an awesome job of standing up and speaking for Whitney.Love her.
Sheila E. Is awesome...the interviewers are horrific. They both are insensitive, especially the woman...and borderline inappropriate.
Ya, they are too upbeat and those questions seem to stab Sheila a little in the heart-Im glad I didn't see the rest of it, I feel bad for her, they were so tight. Ive lost a few close friends over the years, she's holding it together very well. I cried at the end of the BET show, the blue guitar... the look on her face, the things she must have been feeling.

ALL OF THIS!!!! He should have been given a stately funeral I mean COME ON, it was PRINCE for God's sake and they just cremated him the day after he died, like wth? Maybe that was a personal wish for him, I don't know but I thought there would have been a funeral where his fans could pay their respects.
It's planned for later this year with ALL the purple family members Tyka already said that!
+MissLittleTee
yeah, but a minimum of 4 months after his death?
...kinda scratching my head about that one..and I agree, he should have been celebrated Home in a stately procession and eulogies and poignant photos and film clips of his professional persona and personal self.
But since that didn't happen, Sheilas tribute did seem to kick off the grieving process. And her song "Boy and Girl"... 😢😭😭 If you need to cry...this is that song.
did she say she was 59 ??? huh ?? or di she mean 39 ? damn....
My wife often wonders why I so look forward to taking our pets to the local veterinary clinic. It's because our pet's doctor is so fine, she could just about pass herself off as being Sheila E.'s daughter...if she had one. (Yeah, I KNOW! Now how cool is THAT, right?) Yup, on the outside, I exemplify the very essence of confidence around her. On the inside, meanwhile, I'm makin' Jerry Lewis look like The Fonz. If I actually did meet Sheila E. out here, on the streets of Las Vegas, I'd probably DIE...with a smile on my face, of course.
She is still very beautiful but looks extremely different from a younger version.
I wonder what Prince would say or do about the police brutality and cop killings that has been going on recently
I wish schedule
Ka-ching! *plays the intro to Pink Floyd's 'Money'. Oh, it's about me, about my story, about my tribute, about me, me, me... ME... what am I doing... me, hahaha my mind is sliding, me, ME.
"The Paisley Park Family"??? That's a first. The reason why The Revolution, maybe even The Family, key members of The Time, Vanity 6, heck even Mazarati, Madhouse, The Flesh (I may have lost non-Superfans), didn't join the Sheila E show... cough, tribute I mean... was because they were mourning, not promotttinnng.

Wow, all his BEST BUDDIES unable to attend the tribute. Nothing should have taken priority.
thank you
sheila sheila sheila ! ! ! ! ! secret sheila ! ! ! !
stop asking all those damn questions...
Wonder why his 2nd wife wasn't involved?
my guess is to keep the tribute on Prince.....and not have the storyline being about how Prince had 3 lovers onstage at the same time and whatever other silly story the media would come up with, or spin. Its one thing to have Mayte be a surprise appearance, and dance, as she was a dancer. Its an entire other thing to have Manuela just.....appear.
Manuela really wasn't in the business that way. I think she was more involved with his charity organizations. Which is how they met. She is opening a school in his honor, she called to tell him that. I'm so glad he knew before he left us.
Because she's married to Eric Benet... besides, she was never a part of the Paisley family. Mayte used to be his dancer.
He liked Latin women no doubt.
what did you think of madonnas tribute.............who cares? stupid question
Thank you...woman at the wash well questions. Very stupid and unprofessional.
thumbs up..lol

I must say..that I really don't believe that beautiful princess is gone.... I just don't believe it... the reason why is..they didn't have a wake for prince...for family and friends... plus they said they cremated him the very next day.... doesn't. sound right to me...then about his will....nobody was in his will...nobody.....that is strange in it self... and what about paisley. park.... his dream home... all of this just don't add.up... u people may not know this but. did u know that Elvis Presley faked his own death ...yes he did...he's still alive. today he's 83years young... do the research on him it's amazing what u will find out... plus 2pac..he's been seen alive and in very good health... he's been seen in Cuba.... lots of friends of his visit him.again all of this information is true...now about prince... I believe that he was tired...needed a very long break.. I believe in my heart that he's still alive... too dammm young.to leave this world... plus he's always eat good.took care of his self. buy yes he did work his self too hard.... alot of things just don't add up to me.and paisley. park . has his music for sale.... the. estate of prince is doing the music releases...check it out..if u need to get his music... to prince... if u did pass. u r greatly Missed be millions of fans...and there will never be another prince.....l love u Sweet man...again.. I hope u just faked your death to get away...... an get the rest u sooo need...remember alot of things just don't add up about u prince.....
