It's Whitney. Her back up singers have been with her since the beginning and it's great to see how much they share the same passion for music. They're great. Really

This, right here, is probably the best tribute I've ever seen. She didn't just sang a Prince's song, she earned it. That's why she's my favourite artist of all time, and it looks that even Prince himself understood that!

A mad Beautiful & very fitting tribute, Alicia! True Artistry recognizes Pure Artistry, & you surely did The Artist PROUD! Although Prince's (or "Princeton" as I called him) religion didn't allow for birthday celebrations, we who loved & admired his gift could not allow this day to pass, unmentioned, unnoticed or unappreciated. There are few artists i can say I loved, but I LOVED the way Princeton's music made me feel! I think I and countless others always will! HAPPY 58th NATAL DAY, to HIS ROYAL PURPLE BADNESS! Snatch JOY!

Hey ALICIA , you are the vocal female singer that's my FAVORITE since WHITNEY left years ago ! Maybe you can tap into more of those 2000 unpublished songs found in the VAULT ! I can't think of a performer that has any greater opportunity than you ALISHA ! I LOVE YOU and your MUSIC , beautiful girl Alisha Keyes ! I want to see you perform LIVE !!

Hats off to Alicia for nailing this live performance, just one day after His Purple Majesty left us! I think I would've been raw. As an aside though, has everyone forgotten the Stephanie Mills cover of this song? Ms. Mills might've been the first person to ever cover a Prince song. He rarely permitted covers. Sinead O'connor pissed him off with an unauthorized cover a song I can't remember. Joan Baez "One of Us" cover was memorable. TLC cover of Waterfalls?

me too. I really liked to hear the "black" in her voice and in the way her music was written. I honestly stopped listening once she became mainstream and made songs that the masses would like. I don't mean to sound offensive when I say black, I just don't know how else to put it. You listen to "Songs in a Minor" and you immediately *know* what it felt like living in a black neighbourhood, all the culture, pain and love. Everything.
