Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yall are ****ing crazy at this point, JT didn't do nothing, he's not even allowed to pay homage to another artist now, unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvana 2,712 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Absolutely agree. I only now watched the show, had seen clips of it earlier. I find it disturbing how the "tribute" was also in the middle of the performance... As if it was unplanned, thrown in there. And we know Prince wanted to be in control of his music and image, and this is against it. They should have just left it off and just light up the city purple (that was the only good thing in the performance). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor 3,321 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It was definitely against Prince's wishes. He was totally against stuff like that. Not so much his family, though, as they only protested against a hologram of him. But it's on JT's head. He should've had enough respect for him not to do it, but no point whining about it now. bannedT for life and it's SAD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCgaga 4,323 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Y'all are acting like y'all knew Prince and what he wanted. He said Holygrams were demonic at one point. That's it. But a tribute is not against him or his family's wishes. Stop being so dramatic. IF Beyonce or any Black Artist did the tribute, y'all wouldn't have anything to say. Just be real about your bullshit.

I'm all about respecting people's wishes, especially the wishes of the dead. Holograms (I know it wasn't technically, but it operated like one) are a very polarising thing. I know I find them creepy, unsettling and unnecessary. I certainly wouldn't like the idea of paying to see a hologram of a dead artist perform a show, particularly when that money might not even be going to their estate or family but rather, their greedy record label. I can totally get why an artist wouldn't like their image used in this way when they've passed. One of the most terrifying things about dying is the thought of how everything that you owned before is now being passed on to others and all your opinions no longer have real worth as you can't put them into practice. To think that someone could make decisions involving how my image is used after my death in ways that I wouldn't be comfortable with sends shivers down my spine. Justin and everyone else who allowed him to do this are way over the line in assuming everything would be ok. I hope he apologises to Prince's family for his foolishness and disrespect. If it's true that he knew his family didn't like the idea but did it anyway, that is even more unforgivable. Regardless of this religious beliefs and how they affected him, I still think his wishes should be respected. Also, I don't think he meant "demonic" in the way we think. I doubt he meant it was genuinely the devil's work, more like an over-exaggeration of what it meant in his mind. Just because he believes in a higher power doesn't mean he meant such terms so seriously. I'm a believer in God and whenever I try something new to eat that I don't like, I sometimes say: "Throw that back into hell, where it came from." Do I mean it seriously? No, it's just an over-exaggerated joke. Prince likely meant what he said in the same way. There's no doubt that he hated the concept of holograms but his words weren't likely to be taken so literally. What being a Jehovah's Witness did to his mental state is a whole different discussion. But can't he just disagree with holograms without his religion being the focal point as to why he said what he did? Let's agree to disagree, he clearly meant demonic in the sense of actual evil, and you obviously don't know much about cult mentality and it's affect in one's everyday life and language. Research Jehova's Witness and Adventist before you explain common slang to me as if I don't use it everyday. Respecting the spirit of a person and their truth, and not the brainwashed guilt addled person they may become later in life when they deal with these cult groups who offer them comfort and exclusivity, is what is important to me. Remember Prince as the great artist in any way you can, and set aside his word for what they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterAndGrease 594 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I would prefer Bye Bye Bye with Nsync... They were part of his own history. And this is what the halftime show is about imo. Artists taking advantage of the hottest performing slot of the year to promote their current stuff and celebrate their career up to that point. Gaga, Madonna and Beyonce's sets are the perfect examples. That's why Britney HAS to do it next year for the BOMT album 20th anniversary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know that by now y'all are tired of threads about the SuperBowl HT Show, but this needs to be addressed. I read all of the comments in the other threads and if someone already mentioned this feel free to lock this thread up. My biggest issue with his performance is...PRINCE Remember him? Funny thing he said in 1998 “That’s the most demonic thing imaginable,” Prince told Guitar World in 1998 when asked if he would ever perform alongside the hologram of a deceased music legend. “Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing… it really is demonic. And I am not a demon.” As a Prince fan IT HURT deeply to see him used as a projection on a cloth. WHY? Why is Justin so problematic? I never EVER thought that he'd do that sh-t. Why didn't someone tell him? Utterly disrespectful to Prince's family who spoke about it in the media before. Leave us, his fans, but his family...smh And the FACT that he sang I Would Die 4 U? Are you f-cking kidding me? Really????? I'm so pissed I'm sorry. If you wanna do a tribute sing Purple Rain or Nothing Compares 2 U or basically any. other. song. Cringeworthy as hell I don't think i'd be able to enjoy JT's songs from now, since he seems like not a good person. But I don't hate him. I'm sad, and disappointed, and hurt, and angry...but not hateful and throwing shade or some other petty sh-t. You left out the part about Prince hating JT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be real about your bullshit. I think the tribute wasn’t the problem, for me, but JT doing it specifically because Prince hated him. Granted, he hated a lot of people because he’s an intense guy but still lol I really only think Janelle Monae would be able to do a tribute for him properly because they collaborated in the past, he regarded her highly, and he was an idol of hers. Perfect storm for a killer tribute. Anyone else and it gets tricky since Prince has such strong opinions lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikola 4,342 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Nnot to mention that Prince hated JT.....it was bad idea from the start I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
