+tinaloveseddie He always uplifted female artists and musicians, made them members of his band and gave them songs to make into hits. He truly treated women with respect.
Prince: Wrote songs, produced songs and music, played every instrument, generous, soft spoken, danced like crazy, handsome, dress how he wanted to, out played any one on guitar, shared his music and songs with others, knew talent when he heard and saw it, on and on etc....WOW! Will surely be missed
Despite being the wildly amazing character on stage that he was, he really was such a mild mannered humble guy, and a consumate professional. What a cultural loss this is. Rest well Mr Prince, I'll be keen to hear what you've cooked up for us in the jam band in the sky, one day.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight On the ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. My Spirit is still alive…
Mascara and a purple cape, yet everyone who watches this video are thinking, "Now that's a man's man..." RIP Prince. Talent and humility like no other.
Omg that spin tho!!! R.I.P Prince! We will always miss you.And Wendy looked so cute when Prince handed her the trophy! Those 3 looked awesome together.
A very old soul with thousands of years of talent, creativity, compassion and humility ingrained in his psyche and persona. He'll be back, maybe sooner than we think. Be on the ear-and-look-out. Meanwhile, no purple tears for this icon. Just party like it's 2099. I think that's what he'd want.
legend or not he was part of the dam illuminati (HE SOLD HIS SOUL) just like the rest of them he will not rip he will burn in hell like the rest of yall idols,if you want to idolize sumone let it be your lord&saviour jesus christ!&yeah I said it&what dats my idol not these fake ass devil worshipers,now all yall have a good day and open your eyes people Sooooo Stupid.......
I love the way he mentioned God. And introduced Lisa & Wendy. Such a wise and humble speech! You were bigger then life itself & we are so grateful for your outstanding artistry! Nothing compare! Now you are with GOD however, you are so missed here! GOD bless your soul.
LEGENDARY! his shy smile is amazing. thank you for sharing! a ICON is dead. You Mr Prince Rogers Nelson are with me......since 1980 and "Dirty Mind", I had the Chance to see you live in Vienna, Austria 1987, you are with me in good and bad times, sometimes in dark hours of my life. Now? You are gone! And I want to say: "THANK YOU for your Music!" what a loss! yours ♥ Take care man!
An Oscar well deserved!!! There will never be another Prince, he was truly talented !!!! You will always remain in our hearts. Rest in peace Prince and thank you for all the amazing gifts you have given us especially Purple Rain!
Grammys, AMA's, Oscars... There was nothing this man couldn't do! Music sucks without him. PRINCE (1958-2016). Rest peacefully. Still can't believe you're gone. 😢
+Kyle Machart prince would reply "no umbrella." and magically whip out his guitar that was designed for that moment. Then jams it, slowly meta-morphing into a song that would be called "Purple Tears" that was literally inspired from fans crying purple tears.
Karen Allmond Basically it's dissing or snubbing somebody else because you're better than they are..Case in point, Alicia Keys' rendition of "adore" and the look on Prince's face while she's singing, priceless.
In 1984, he actually was the one who initially started thanking God, everyone else followed suit. No one else ever did that. I remembered this night watching it on television.
I love how he always introduced his coworkers and raised into stars other artists (esp.women, regardless of the fact that he mixed business with pleasure :-D ). Only Prince could wear this shiny purple costume and look absolutely fabolous and not weird at all. And the second turn when leaving hahahaa it gets me every time😂😂😂 Such a class this Legend was and undoubtedly The Greatest Musician Genius of all time.😎💜🌟
Still does not seem real.. The one and only Prince. What a precious soul, we were lucky beyond our own knowledge to have had him. My most heartfelt prayers go out to his family and friends and to all of us fans worldwide. There will never be anyone like Prince ever again...
Magic does indeed exist in this world, real life honest to goodness magic, and Prince was a true magician.His spells was his music and through this medium his magic enthralled us all, it has the power to transport us to somewhere and somewhen else. R.I.P. Prince Rogers Nelson
I wasn't a huge fan, more casual I guess but I do recognize that the man was supremely multi-talented to which I respect. From all accounts generous with his time, helped up coming talent & was a prolific philanthropist (who kept it private). We're worse off without people like Prince. 'let's go party' - RIP
such a quiet and humble person he was.... such a tragic loss
There's something so old-fashioned and lovely about him....
That turn he did was iconic. Prince was iconic. He is a legend and his music will always live on. Forever. RIP
I love how the first thing he did was introduce Lisa and Wendy.💜☔️
+tinaloveseddie He always uplifted female artists and musicians, made them members of his band and gave them songs to make into hits. He truly treated women with respect.
Yes he did😌 I'm still in shock and very heartbroken. He was truly blessed and loved💜🌹
... 'Im just like everybody else. I need love, I need water.. I dont consider myself as a superstar'
-Prince (MTV Interview 1984)
Well said!
💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹
i love what he's wearing....beautiful

+Shayne O'Neill great words! amazing and true! thank you!
and a great baskeball player
He sounded like a sweetheart when he did his speech. RIP. ❤
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
My Spirit is still alive…
+unknown stfu that's all I gave to say. Don't disrespect the dead!
+unknown you're obviously kidding but please don't come here and say that, it's way too soon for that and it never will be late enough
it's a beautiful poem really

Damn son, where'd you find this?
That spin from the podium.. Priceless!

+Bad-Jet! HA! That was great!

+Bad-Jet! Best comment ever.
Mascara and a purple cape, yet everyone who watches this video are thinking, "Now that's a man's man..."
RIP Prince. Talent and humility like no other.

Ummmmm no one is thinking Prince is a Man's man....hahahhahahahahs

If everyone keeps the Oscar acceptance speech this short we wouldn't have to sit thru 2-3 hours of that bullshit.
Truly enchanting.
The one and only God of music. He did it all at a 5 star rate and we'll never have another. Rest In Purple, legend.
Prince twirled on his haters
He damn sure did lol. My favorite gif !!
That turn was on point.
Rest in peace Prince. Another musical legend gone way too soon. He'll be missed by so many.

Purple cape, purple cape...
R.I.P. Prince. Truly one of the greatest artist who will be remembered forever:)

+HONEy12o1 Alicia Keys, is that you?
+Christopher Grieb no I'm your mother.
So humble and modest for such a superstar God bless you lovely man who will never be forgotten. xx
WHAT??? NOOOOOO!! I LOVE PRINCE. I'm so sorry for his family and friends. I hope they find comfort somehow. :(
td
+RuralBreakfast The plan was he had to be taken for the whole world to sit up and reawaken.
***** Exactly. The world had been awake but then had chosen to fall back to sleep.
***** His music will continue to live on, long after, you and me have been long gone.
***** Do you believe in God?
r.i.p

Omg that spin tho!!! R.I.P Prince! We will always miss you.And Wendy looked so cute when Prince handed her the trophy! Those 3 looked awesome together.
A very old soul with thousands of years of talent, creativity, compassion and humility ingrained in his psyche and persona. He'll be back, maybe sooner than we think. Be on the ear-and-look-out. Meanwhile, no purple tears for this icon. Just party like it's 2099. I think that's what he'd want.

And thats your opinion just like that was my opinion and I still stand on wat i said.
You may be one to and yes prince would be one of them just like the rest of them so yeah.
I remember a song that Wendy and Lisa did quite a few years ago. It was called "Waterfall". Beautiful song....
AAndrews1968 Yes, I also remember "Waterfalls" from their great debut 1987 "Wendy & Lisa" album after Prince disbanded The Revolution band.
A true musical genius. Seen him in Manchester 1995 . Greatest concert I've ever seen and I've Seen many many concerts.
I love the way he mentioned God. And introduced Lisa & Wendy. Such a wise and humble speech! You were bigger then life itself & we are so grateful for your outstanding artistry! Nothing compare! Now you are with GOD however, you are so missed here! GOD bless your soul.
Great speech

I always loved hearing him say my name....Wendy.
RIP - Prince wrote his own hits, plus so many songs he wrote were made hits by others, such as "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Manic Monday"
Don't forget Sweet Thing

Rip Prince. Thanks for being such a great neighbor to us Minnesotans
Grammys, AMA's, Oscars... There was nothing this man couldn't do! Music sucks without him. PRINCE (1958-2016). Rest peacefully. Still can't believe you're gone. 😢
I miss him
R.I.P. Prince, you'll be missed, but never forgotten.
You may need an umbrella because we all will cry purple tears to your purple rain.
+Kyle Machart prince would reply "no umbrella." and magically whip out his guitar that was designed for that moment. Then jams it, slowly meta-morphing into a song that would be called "Purple Tears" that was literally inspired from fans crying purple tears.
The king of throwing shade! Long live the king!😊
+Leo Maysonet -- I'm going to ask a dumb question, so forgive me. What is "Throwing Shade"?
+Karen Allmond that is not a dumb question. I have heard this before and now I'm going to check Urban Dictionary.
Karen Allmond Basically it's dissing or snubbing somebody else because you're better than they are..Case in point, Alicia Keys' rendition of "adore" and the look on Prince's face while she's singing, priceless.
R.I.P Prince... It is really too soon... But it should always be about celebrating what you have accomplished and keeping your music go on and on.
R.I.P Legend!
What a STUNNING shroud he's wearing! Just GORGEOUS!
And most of all he thanked God. What a humble man.
In 1984, he actually was the one who initially started thanking God, everyone else followed suit. No one else ever did that. I remembered this night watching it on television.
How is he gone, it's absolutely crazy. He was a genius RIP xx
+Emerald Eimear not a genius - what a flake ! - did nuttin' for me - music ? - nah ! sry , I'm no hypocrite now that he 's corpsed it .
Fierce.
I love how he always introduced his coworkers and raised into stars other artists (esp.women, regardless of the fact that he mixed business with pleasure :-D ). Only Prince could wear this shiny purple costume and look absolutely fabolous and not weird at all. And the second turn when leaving hahahaa it gets me every time😂😂😂 Such a class this Legend was and undoubtedly The Greatest Musician Genius of all time.😎💜🌟
😍😍😍 I remember screaming and crying when I was a sophomore in high school watching this with my grandmother😍😘😘
Truly one of the greatest legends of all time.
Still does not seem real.. The one and only Prince. What a precious soul, we were lucky beyond our own knowledge to have had him. My most heartfelt prayers go out to his family and friends and to all of us fans worldwide. There will never be anyone like Prince ever again...
always love your music prince what will we do now this generation of music sucks
RIP Prince, your music lives on in my heart!!!
REST IN PURPLE!!
+John Lennon Fan 💜
soft spoken and a classic performer to the end! R.I.P
Rest in Purple, my dear Prince.

R.I.P Prince you are a true Prince
