Prince is smokin' hot on SNL tonight

[OriginalGeek]

I'm a little behind - watching on DVR...but he's still got it.

1. He is a great performer.

and looks great.

His band was tight.

[OriginalGeek]

2. Yessir

It's the first I've really heard from him in a long time. lol I don't know if that was one long song or a couple different ones - it did seem to change up a couple times. I assume it was new...Sure wish I had gone to see him back in the 80s when he was doing big arena shows. Probably could have seen him for 20~30 bucks back then.

This was beautiful:
Lost my job at Mickey D's
for givin' away too much food for free.
But I couldn't watch another black child go to school with nothing to eat.

I'm gonna buy that album.

3. Well, the Animaniacs had something...

4. I'm behind on his name, is it still Prince ?

10. Yeah, you are behind

He reverted his stage name back to Prince when Clinton was still President.

5. I think Nelson is an overrated midget performer

who has been overrated for more than 35 years. (I live in Minnesota and have been subjected to him for far too long.)

[Skittles]

7. I never understood his popularity

nope

[OriginalGeek]

11. Brilliant composer

incredible guitar player and plays most everything else as well.

When I was young and foolish and all my friends were into metal I didn't pay any attention to him because of peer pressure and I am ashamed of that.

I'm glad he is still performing and making albums as there might be a chance for me to redeem myself. Although I might have to go to Minnesota to do it lol.

And I also think he doesn't give a fuck and I am in favor of people that don't give a fuck. Especially not about what convention tells you to look like or sound like.

[Skittles]

19. well sorry, not all of us agree

[UTUSN]

13. Once again, we are one. n/t

[kwassa]

12. Prince has more talents than entire bands, you sizist pig.

I would certainly put him in the top ten rock acts ever.

He is a great songwriter, performer, plays a wide variety of instruments, is one hell of guitarist. Few have a wider range of skills.

[Arugula Latte]

6. I can't believe how well he's aged. If he's had work done, whoever did it is a master.

[OriginalGeek]

8. I don't think he looks any different than he did 30 years ago

I barely recognize pics of me from 30 years ago - and he's only like 2 years older than me.

[Arugula Latte]

9. It's amazing.

He lacks the space alien look of severe plastic surgery. It just seems like he was sent here in a time capsule from 1984.

[mackerel]

14. Amazing talent. He's a complete weirdo but

his music is fantastic.

[Initech]

15. That performance kicked serious amounts of ass.

Honestly the musical acts are the best thing about SNL anymore.

[KurtNYC]

16. Reminded me of this epic performance (jump to 3:25)

At 4:40 he is messing with Tom Petty and Dhani loves it.

[Arugula Latte]

18. I love that clip. I've seen it a few times over the years

and it always blows me away. I love the "light" way Prince plays with his fingers just flying all over like his guitar weighs nothing. And Dhani Harrison -- wow, talk about the spitting image of his dad.

[Yavin4]

17. I first heard about Prince way back in 1979

And he's still as bad ass as he was back then. How many other things from 1979 can you say that about?
