Comment: I'm sure that will be an interesting show.

Name: Stuckinthe70s
Comment: Well, this is a major coup for AI. They have been trying to get him for a couple of years. Definitely will be an interesting show. Someone slap ditzy blonde chick when she says on National TV she never heard of him! When she said she never heard of Stevie, I wanted someone to SLAP her!

Name: RyTay27
Comment: >>prettieyez, I concur!!!!

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: I really don't wanna see Prince do this...but imagine the Harry Potter dude singing KISS and humping the floor and sh1t...

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...How can you not know Stevie?...even if you were born in the 80's 90's somebody has told you bout Stevie...I betcha her dumdazz knew 'bout Elvis...You can't walk this earth without hearing something by Stevie...Same thing with the Beatles...

Name: McNasty
Comment: Prince's spokesperson said this story isn't true.

Name: Vanity
Comment: I will believe it, when I see it. I just can not see Prince on AI. Can you imagine him trying to come up with positive comments when he knows somebody is gettin' ready to F'-up one of his songs.....hilarious!!!!!

Name: star
Comment: I don't want to see celebrity singers come on idol and perform, but I guess they have to keep reinventing themselves.

Name: NJBLKGUY
Comment: Bad photo of Prince. I couldn't tell if that was Prince or Lisa Bonet with sun glasses.

Name: bigchassie
Comment: YOU KNOW, I CONCUR WITH ALL OF YALL. i really can't see this happening either. it will be weird. too weird. nah!

Name: 2timely
Comment: I wish he would paint my house. . .

Name: Stuff101
Comment: Stuckinthe70s, I agree with you that she is the true meaning of a dumb blonde! I can't stand her acting that way, (read a book, read a news paper, go on the web, ask somebody) something. I know she had a truely messed childhood but damn! Get A Clue! If she wins this I will never watch AI again!

Name: CoCoCaramel
Comment: If this is true, that would be a very interesting show Prince songs are very hard to sing and I could see that hillbilly girl really fuccing up one of his songs and that boring azz brokeback cowboy Bucky trying his best to sing When Doves Cry, but on the other hand Mandiva would I belive do a terrific job on I feel for you, and Paris I think would be successful singing Nothing Compares 2 U...I will believe this when I see it, I think it's very unlikely that Prince would do AI...

Name: coesmo
Comment: I can't see Prince going on AI..I'll believe it when I see it...

Name: Gemami
Comment: I with everyone, I can't see this happening... Prince is not a publicity hound and doesn't need a television appearance to sell his CD. With that said, the only one I see doing justice to a Prince song is Paris... the rest of them would totally f'up his songs.

Name: DCGG
Comment: I can't see Prince doing this either but I also couldn't believe some of the big names they've had on their thus far so it's possible - AI has to pay out of the azz - I mean they had Stevie on!

Name: Ciara
Comment: If this is true, then Prince fans will consider him a "sell-out." At least, that's what some of the hard core fans considered him when he performed with Beyonce on the Grammies. I really can't see him doing this any more than I can see Michael Jackson doing it. If Michael were to do such a thing, people would consider it an act of desperation. If Prince does appear, I would think that the media and fans would say the same thing.

Name: BigBlackRod
Comment: Ciara: Prince had complimented Beyonce when DC first came out; he said that he wanted to work with her. Have y'all ever noticed that no man attempts to cover a Prince song, not with any success, anyway. And remember when Michael Jackson was considered to be more normal than Prince? Hmmm...PEACE.

Name: Stephanie
Comment: This probably isn't true because if that was the case, FOX would be hyping this up big time and I hadn't seen anything on the commericals about it.

Name: Ciara
Comment: BigBlackRod, evidently you didn't visit any prince newsgroups or discussion boards after his appearance with "B". There were comments about him "selling" out from HIS fans. Let's be for real, YOU know that if Michael were rumored to appear on "American Idol" the media AND Prince fans, Madonna fans and everyone else would be saying that he was desperate. Of course,you know that when it comes to Michael there are DOUBLE STANDARDS. The things that other artists are embraced for doing, the media and public always turn those same things against Michael for doing. Remember when Michael did a commercial to promote his album and tour? Everybody and their mama was against him. NOW, everyone is doing the same thing. Can you imagine if Michael had GIVEN albums away with concert tickets and those album give-aways counted as sales, as Prince did with his last al bum. You already know that this would have been front page news saying that Michael couldn't sel albums and had to give them away. Michael sells almost 400,000 copies of his last album of new material and it debuted at #1. The media proclaimed it a failure and the public, even some MJ fans, fell for this and considered it a failure. How can THAT be a failure, when neither Maddona or Prince sold as much on their #1 debuts? Do you see where I am coming from about the Double standards. Btw, I don't believe that Prince will appear on AI, but you never know. He IS doing things that he has never done and said that he wod never do, in order t promote his albums. Who knows, maybe he will appear.THere is absolutely nothing wrong if he does, I am just saying that if Michael were to do the exact same thing, people would twist and turn it into a "desperation move" and that is not fair.

Name: Gemami
Comment: How did this turn into a Prince against Michael... I thought that was left in the 80's.

Name: McNasty
Comment: I watched AI last night and I've always been a fan of Kenny Rogers but for the longest time, I had no idea that was him. Between him, Joan Rivers and Burt Reynolds - they keep the plastic surgeon in disposable income! I used to think Kenny was a good looking white man and now with all the surgeries the man didn't age naturally and we'll never know what he would look like. Shame he doesn't know he looks like Madame! All three should be in the wax museum.

Name: BigBlackRod
Comment: Ciara: I really didn't put THAT much thought into it; I just see the humor in the juxtaposition of how the media used to perceive Mike and Prince. And besides, Prince is in charge of his own promotion now; with this being a different world (the Internet being as all-pervasive as it is), he has to try a lot of stuff that woulda been considered beneath him. Hell, if and when Mike tries to come back, the media blitz will be state-of-the-art and strange...PEACE.

Name: LASUNSHINE
Comment: >McNasty, my stomach is hurting from laughter....I can't agree with you more regarding Kenny Rogers, I had no idea who I was looking at and then I said to myself is that him? Anyway, Prince, I'm such a fan, but I think that he will do AI, he has been doing much more talking and making many more appearances than he ever has before....I just think he's a little more mature.

Name: PHScott
Comment: Sorry Ciara, but us "Real" Prince fans didn't call him a sellout. Hardcore Prince fans are those of us who are in our late 30's and early 40's and NONE of us thought that. That scuttlebutt was probably coming from some haters who'd like to think they are true fans because they visit a website but have no idea what it takes to be a true Prince fan. It's a much deeper experience that you think...

Name: Pammy
Comment: Amen PH Scott...

Name: Royale55
Comment: I REALLY don't want to see my main man Prince do this show. Please no.

Name: Royale55
Comment: And I think it was totally wack for those knuckleheads at the Grammys to force Prince to do the song with Beyonce, I think he was willing to work with her--but I think the infamous "They" told him that is what they wanted to see...what would be "hot." NOT!!!!

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Right on PHScott. I've been a Prince fan since Soft and Wet. When it comes to Prince you have to get on his level.

Name: Beezyuu
Comment: I just don't think Prince has the personality to be on AI. He's only did a few interviews and it just seem soo uncomfortable for him. Like others, this will be interesting.
