NEW YORK (AP) -- Peu importe qu'il soit connu sous plusieurs noms d'artistes, c'est l'image même de Prince qui sera honorée lors de la prochaine cérémonie des NAACP Awards, prévue le 19 mars à Los Angeles (Californie) et retransmise le 25 mars sur Fox TV.
L'auteur de "Purple Rain" y sera distingué du trophée Vanguard de la NAACP (Association nationale pour la promotion des gens de couleur), un prix qui vise à récompenser les personnalités qui contribuent à une meilleure compréhension et prise de conscience entre les différentes races, communautés et origines sociales.
"Dans les années 80, Prince a émergé tel le prophète musical de l'ère en produisant une série d'albums qui ont à la fois capturé et défini l'esprit de son époque", a indiqué la NAACP dans un communiqué. "Son style musical unique a créé une onde de choc dans l'industrie musicale, toujours perceptible aujourd'hui".
Le réalisateur Steven Spielberg et le producteur de cinéma Stanley Kramer ont déjà reçu cette distinction honorifique.
Prince a par ailleurs remporté le 12 février dernier deux Grammies, l'un au titre de la meilleure performance masculine R&B pour le single "Call My Name", l'autre dans la catégorie meilleure performance vocale R&B traditionnel pour son dernier album "Musicology". AP

apparemment, ils ont fait un medley "Controversy/ Housequake/ the love bizarre".
C'était sans doute sympa, mais il y avait surement moyen de trouver un truc plus récent à jouer...

Little report at the club:
"It was off the chain NPGMC!!!! Prince, Sheila, Morris & Jerome tore the house down. Everyone was out of their seats the entire time he was on stage. Mr. D.M.S.R himself wore a shirt with 3121 on the back. The only familiar faces for me in the band was Kat Dyson on guitar.
The band played Prince did Housequake & D.M.S.R along with some cover songs. Sheila did Glamourous Life and Morris & Jerome hit us with the bird.
I nearly died when Prince came down the aisle I was sitting on and let Vanessa Williams and Flex sing along to Glamorous Life. Vanessa was soooo excited afterwards.
Prince looked very happy while giving his acceptance speech. The audience looked beautiful all decked out in their formal wear. Prince and the band were the highlight of the evening along with Obama & Oprah

An another great report by the 1 & only J7 (the master of report):
"Let me just get right into this because I am sure u don't want to read my jibber-jabber.
Last of the night after being there like over 4 hours. They talk up Prince. They show a video montage of Prince which includes backstage scenes of the Musicology tour. The place is ready 4 Prince. He comes out wearing a black n white number n the stage behind him was set up moments ago.
He gives thanks 2 Jehovah n thanks his presenters and the NAACP and says in a few words or more that instead of talking he rather show how much he appreciates the award, by doing what he does best n play. He asks the audience is it cool if he plays 4 a bit n they don't mind at all.
Prince is on stage with Sheila, Kat Dyson, Mr. Hayes, several horn players including Greg Boyer n a keyboardist I did not know. This is Sheila's band and they are TIGHT!!
It kicks off with D.M.S.R. with Prince on the Hohner guitar and as he flips round, on his outfit in the back it has the numbers 3121 (oh lawd), then goes into two covers I believe, one taken the lead by the unnamed keyboardist at the moment and then a lady with some pipes that belted out the jam. And then......Prince...at his own keyboards....throwing down a BRAND NEW song. A ballad. Wait til u see the broadcast on friday.
I lose track round here but he did "Housequake" and the place went nuts. He went into the crowd during "Glamorous Life" and did a lil bit of the "Jam" and then poof.....u hear the sounds of the bird.....n here come Morris and Jerome, with mirror in hand and Prince gets on the boards n they r doing the "Bird". The crowd went nuts.
The roof was torn off the DCP. The place exploded. Mani had the biggest smile on her face. All of em doing the bird. In----sane! Prince then went into the Santana medley n Sheila went off! Tore up her equipment. Prince was playing guitar and continued to not only rip the rest of the roof off but Sheila and them tore that place down to it's foundation. After the dust settled, u see Prince walking off stage.
Prince said he wanted 2 show what this award meant to him, well, it must have meant a lot because he pulled it all out with what seemed like a 2 hour show rolled into a 10 minute set.
Now, I know after a performance like that, Prince cannot possibly be calling it a night. Something tells me 2night 3121 is the place 2 be and trust me, if I was there, I might never wanna leave. "

Thank u J7 for this report

Je rafraichis la page toutes les 5 minutes en éspérant lire "VOUS VOULIEZ LE SON, LE VOILA !"
Je sais pas si j'ai bien lu ou si j'ai encore une fois trop abusé des champis, mais sur le forum du ènnpidjihèmmssi, j'ai lu qu'il allait jouer Housequake au NAACP ; c'est vrai qu'il l'a joué ??? ou faut que je change de forêt pour mes champis ? (seconde solution, qui me parait plus plausible...)
Merci de votre aide !
