How do you honor Prince? This was the question many where asking when it was first announced that he would be honored at the BET Awards. I even wondered. I thought....hmmm...Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, and maybe even past band mates. I had one of them right. BET took me in another direction with an all female tribute but I still was surprised by who was picked. Its said that Prince himself chose each of the women on stage to honor him. I can believe it BUT where they appropriate? Very talented females graced the stage, no doubt. The effort was there so why did it still seemed weak? I feel like yelling, "Do over!!!" Can we get a do over like they did with the MJ Tribute [which was GREAT]? I doubt that we will. Prince truly deserved better. We hear his influence in some of the songs produced by Robin Thicke, Ciara, and others who have done "Prince-like" ballads recently. I'm thankful for the effort. Prince is a great influence....
