Prince talks on today show

[@pulsarstargrave256]

"I'm just a little guitar player trying to get my thing together!" Worst Understatement EVER! I love it when geniuses are also modest!

[@tinaho9009]

Pulsar Stargrave He was so humble and sweet. There will only ever be one Prince 💜🕊

[@SuperBettyboop40]

Loved his quiet low voice , and he sang like a angel!

[@melodyal3357]

He sang like houndreds of angels being in one man.🕊🎶🎸🎼💜🌟

[@carries1412]

He is the last of a dying breed....a music artist who truly cares about the craft, and not a puppet to the producers.....

[@andan04]

I can't claim to own many of Prince's albums, but I recognize true talent when I see it. This man is an artist among a field of pretenders.

[@melodyal3357]

Amen!!👌👏

[@alsoomsesokanon2897]

Prince, very intelligent and reserved man. RIP

[@MrJm5]

Very sad day in music. Prince was arguably one of the best singer songwriter musicians in the last 50 years. RIP Prince.

[@natashasingh2459]

Prince's whole demeaner is so smooth n in control. He's not phased by anything or anyone..he is on another level (highest compliment).

[@alanspeake8905]

He was so much like Jimi Hendrix,shy and reserved off stage,yet as soon as he hit the stage,pow! Fireworks!

[@kristinbrown8460]

Such a huge loss! Prince was a musical genius, a humble humanitarian, gifted by God! He exemplified a real man. Who cares if he wore heels; He had a big heart which is the bottom line; one should not be judged by looks BUT by the soul he had. YOU ARE MISSED, MY PRINCE.

[@PurpleRain500]

This was 12 years ago, and the music industry has gotten even worse! What has happened to REAL music, played by REAL musicians! God please allow this man to live forever!

[@summermic4299]

We can only hope he does live 4ever HitNRun phase two is basically the hope for fans of real music by real musicians these days.

[@PurpleRain500]

Summer Mic So true, I'm just soaking in all of him that I can, I'm really into his unreleased material such as songs and especially concert recordings. It's really incredible material, and like a gift that keeps on giving. His body of work is incredible for such a relatively short amount of time. He's the greatest!

[@pulsarstargrave256]

+Summer Mic He will live forever, just not in this world. We'll just have to treasure the music he will leave behind!

[@PurpleRain500]

Pulsar Stargrave Yes, and then we'll anticipate the music he's prepared with the Choir of angels in heaven.

[@lizzietupman]

I've cried since I found out and his songs shake me to my core. especially Purple Rain. I'm so in shock over this! He meant so much to all of us fans of his.

[@FightingSheep1]

Blessed to have accompanied a great friend to see Prince play in a small intimate venue in 1998, an experience I'll never forget. A true musician and a pro's pro. RIP PNR

[@gingey2008]

He was the only man I knew of that looked good in heels . Loved him .

[@justaboutmichaeljosephjack700]

Agreed

[@tinaho9009]

Can't argue that one. He's so cool. 😘

[@ivyvines6708]

I agree gingey. And the way he could dance and do the splits in them, several times in a row. I have never even been able to stand up in a pair of them my whole life. I am little ashamed that I have never been able to walk in a pair.

[@mattclarknyc]

"You have to talk to one of the gatekeepers..." Wow. Doesn't that just say it all.

[@brandondenver4331]

It just means that the guy has gatekeepers. What the hell, man. lol

[@mattclarknyc]

No, Mark, it doesn't. He was talking about "artists" like Justin Bieber and the Illuminati gatekeepers/handlers who manage those "artists".

[@brandondenver4331]

I didn't watch the entire thing, so I kinda jumped the gun and assumed that he applied the literal meaning to the word. My bad. That aside, I doubt there are any paranormal connotations affixed to the term.

[@mattclarknyc]

Paranormal? Do you have any understanding at all of what the Illuminati is? Don't answer that; it's a rhetorical question, and the answer to it is "no". Please, stop talking.

[@brandondenver4331]

It's a delusional conspiracy theorist's dream come true. Didn't you know that? Refrain from answering that question, as it too is rhetorical. Carry on with your nonsense. I'm out. lol

[@shayekisitu]

A Devine, honest, quiet, very private, passionate spiritual and I believe very loving man.He is the artistic genius who painted the tapestry of his life on the canvas of this world through his amazing talent of music and lyrics. He will be forever missed. I wish I could have men this man and just held a conversation with him or sit in silence in his presence and beheld his talents in the studio.

+Carlos Cruz agrees no one like him better than elvis

[@TheSeraphimofextasy]

He is right about todays music if I can say anything, most of the so called singers now have absolutly no talent and can't sing for shit and its all autotune and samples of other music artists work, but they are treated like they are the best in the world and that nobody else can do what they do.

[@ramsaybolton3728]

It's not really that they can't sing but more that they can't write good songs. Bob Dylan can't sing for shit and the guy has countless songs that are mind blowing.

God, Matt Lauer needs to know who's he's talking to, treating Prince like he's not relevant, popular! Matt Lauer's the unlikable jerk a-hole who's not popular and forgettable, not to mention disrespectful! *Prince is royalty!!*

[@Damonm68]

I thought Matt was being pretty cool with Prince here. And as Prince said at the beginning of the interview he thinks Matt's a "pretty cool cat".

[@trentigalaxy]

Damonm68 they're both jerks. lol. but Prince is better at being a jerk, turns it into an artform. laur is a notorious, jerky-jerk who offends more often than not.

[@biggiefan4life111]

"it took me four albums to get on the cover of Rolling Stone now it takes these new artist only one there should be a rule for that type of thing" -Prince. ( the realest s*** ever said)

[@AnnaElizabethI]

I didn't actually realize how much I really loved this guy until everyone put their recordings out to the net. He so didn't give a shit what everyone thought, and that's what EVERY ARTIST should be like. Art is not for sale. It is for God. If people like it. Great. But it comes from God and is for God.

[@kpopbiz4873]

+Anna Elizabeth Yep, he talked about artists needing to veer towards spirituality to aide them in their work. Spirituality gives a person focus and makes you centered. People in general focus on people or things that are out of their control. Spirituality makes you grateful for what you have and makes you work to be better and do better. A lot of young folks will learn about Prince and be inspired and do what Prince is talking about.

[@michelecrump6482]

A come back,, umm Matt , Prince never left...

[@kenzierocks1240]

Matt is the one who needs to leave and never come back...he's an arrogant, narcissistic, ego inflated jerk! Bet u if he passed away, he wouldn't be sorely and painfully missed like Prince is...world wide no less!!

[@MrTommySullivan]

Matt Lauer was just the wrong guy to interview Prince. Prince had a negative or confused reaction to every question, because Lauer comes off as a completely non-musical jerk who didn't like Prince, or have any understanding of who he was really talking to. Lauer tries SO hard to be cutting edge, but it's so plastic. Painful to listen to.

[@te2952]

Prince is correct, music today sounds very different. I think music today sounds awful. I agree with Prince... the new music artists today make packaged music with too much technology, & it sounds fake to me. The good old music album days have the best lyrics, songs, sound, & singers voices. I do miss how good the older music sounded. Prince is a music legend! I love his music!

[@EmmyV2002]

Isn't Prince's last few albums (AOA, HNR, and PlectrumElectrum) made with technology and shit like that as well? Besides instruments that Prince played, he put plenty of tech in his music a couple decades ago, so what does it even mean anymore anyway? At the same time, I also agree with you on that part as well. I wish pop music nowadays is more homemade than it is half-baked, something like a frozen packaged, or just plain awful. That's it, but at least putting tech in music can sound good too, depends on your taste and your opinion.

[@pagalley1]

Prince is mysterious and that's a good thing, because whenever you see and hear him, you hang onto his every word...He is a genius, there's no doubt about that...Not only is he a brilliant songwriter and vocalist, but he has mastered 20 musical instrumentals...His album, "Purple Rain" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" are, to me, the two best R&B/Pop albums of the 20th century...On the subject of MJ, I wish that Prince and he had done a song together...That would've been something to behold.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

+PentegonVirtue Why don't you check my Jukebox and LISTEN to the kind of music I enjoy before YOU comment on ANYONE else's comments. Oops, Ed Sheeren has a song on that list, which reminded me A LOT of Prince's music! BTW my comment about why Perry and Missy Eliot's live performance impressed me is because they are young and had a reputation for being producer driven, but they both showed there is much more to them and like I said, they were fearless. Finally, I've heard John Legend sing live but I'm ambivalent because I'm not generally wild about his music.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

+PentegonVirtue If you notice, I qualified my statements, you're welcome to read them if you want to. And I generally stand by the statement.

[@lisacarbajal7113]

Jerrie, Maybe we didn't know him personally ,though he intertwined himself into each and everyone of our lives with his music. He very much became a part of our lives by reaching out, helping us in creating our memories that went along with his songs. His songs of love, passion and heart. Learn what he believed in as his faith at JW.org, learn where his hope after death was. He would want all to know and take comfort in it, this was HIS truth. We all mourn as we should, because he touched us all so greatly.
