Prince: no they don't have
Madonna on stage singing my song off key, voice
cracking like her face
Anna Fantastic, the British ex-girlfriend of the
late singer, Prince, unmasked Madonna's
opportunistic Billboard Music Awards tribute to the
star that was roundly slammed all over the internet
as abysmal and terrible. Madonna has been trying to
give the impression she and Prince were great
friends, when industry insiders know better.
Prince: at least they had
Stevie there!
Fantastic stated, "You know I was there when they
recorded their duet together, Love Song and she
really wanted to do a music video and he refused. I
think he liked the song, but didn't want to do a
video. I even said, 'I think you and Madonna in a
video could be really cool,' and he said, 'Me and
Madonna in a video? No thanks.' 'She (Madonna) also
said, 'I'm going through a lot right now with my
divorce with Sean.' And he said, 'What has your
divorce with Sean got to do with me or this song?
I'm not doing a video with you.' They didn't seem
like really good friends.' Last year she wanted to
do a tour with him and he said something like, 'it's
too much, the world can't handle this' or, 'it's too
much for the world to handle right now', but he had
a great sense of humour."
Madonna
With all the friends he has in the music industry
who care about him, she was one of the last people
that should have been on stage doing a
self-centered, attention seeking tribute. Using a
visually impaired man, Stevie Wonder, for public
sympathy, in the wake of all the terrible press she
has been receiving, was low and pathetic. Some
people will do anything for attention and publicity,
including exploit the dead.

Prince 'refused to film video
to his '80s duet with Madonna', according to his
ex-girlfriend Anna Fantastic

10:05 EST, 25 May 2016 - Madonna's musical tribute
to her late friend Prince at Sunday's Billboard
Music Awards was savaged on social media. And
according to the pop star's ex-girlfriend Anna
Fantastic, he may not have been too impressed if he
would have seen it. English singer and model Anna
dated and lived with Prince in the late '80s when he
recorded a duet with Madonna for the latter's album
Like A Prayer...
Yesterday, the Judiciary Report contended hypocritical
Madonna did things to Prince while he was alive that is mean
spirited, leading to arguments between the two. Today, the
TMZ website did an interview with Anna Fantastic, who is an
ex-girlfriend of the late singer Prince that confirmed,
"Madonna and Prince had a heated feud."
Anna Fantastic
revealed a tidbit regarding a song Prince had produced for
manipulative Madonna stating, "Madonna tried to play the
sympathy card by telling Prince she was in the middle of
divorcing Sean Penn...and the song meant a lot to her.
Prince's reply, according to Anna? ' What does your divorce
have to do with me or this song?'"
Prince
Mainstream outlets reveal Madonna tried to pull the race
card on social networking in response to the terrible public
backlash regarding her performing the Prince tribute at the
Billboard Music Awards this past Sunday. However, Madonna
being white is not why people objected to her doing the
Prince tribute. After all, Prince granted white Irish
recording artist Sinead O'Connor permission to remake
"Nothing Compares 2 U" and she sang the song perfectly.
Reports reveal Madonna sang "Nothing Compares 2 U" at the
Billboard Awards last week and botched it badly, sounding
awful. So awful that even BET network trolled her on social
networking.
For someone who did mean things to forgiving Prince in life
and simply cannot sing, it was highly inappropriate for
Madonna to do the tribute. "Nothing Compares 2 U" requires
someone who can sing, not a pop pretender. My mother stated
Meghan Trainor would have been a good choice and she is
right. Sheila E could have done the tribute as well, having
worked with and been engaged to Prince. Singers such as
Miguel, Maxwell, Bruno Mars and D' Angelo could have done
the tribute as well with Stevie Wonder.
Madonna didn't give a darn about Prince. She just wanted to
see her plastic surgery butchered mug on TV. She is an
attention seeker unable to cope with the fact the public has
moved on from her...like Prince and so many men have done.

Prince Crushed Madonna's Music Vid Dreams ...
According to His Ex-GF
5/24/2016 9:39 AM PDT - THEY DIDN'T SEE EYE
TO EYE. Madonna and Prince had a heated feud over the one
song they ever recorded together, and the showdown involved
one of Madonna's divorces ... according to Prince's ex-gf
Anna Fantastic. Anna dropped this bombshell about Prince and
the Madge's "Love Song" ... which they recorded in the late
'80s. Anna says she was there when Madonna propositioned him
to shoot a music video for the track.
She claims Madonna tried to play the
sympathy card by telling Prince she was in the middle of
divorcing Sean Penn ... and the song meant a lot to her.
Prince's reply, according to Anna? "What does your divorce
have to do with me or this song?" Check out the rest of
Anna's take. Maybe Madonna's tribute was just payback -- but
if nothing else, we got the song out of 'em.
Greedy, crazy, attention seeking pop singer, Madonna, did a
tribute to the late singer, Prince, at yesterday's Billboard
Music Awards that is being widely panned by critics and
social networking as "pitchy" and "terrible" and "karaoke."
Madonna can't sing. Therefore, attempting to sing a somewhat
vocally challenging song like "Nothing Compares 2 U" was
foolish and embarrassing.
BET slamming Madonna's poor Prince tribute is the talk
of social networking with people laughing at her (LOL)
The whole thing is ironic, as the music
industry knows Prince did not like Madonna, due to her nasty
conduct towards him at different times in his life. However,
selfishly attempting to tap into public
sympathy in the wake of his death, Madonna contacted
Billboard and demanded to do the tribute, when Sinead
O'Connor (among others) was a better choice.
A tweet on Twitter.com remarking on Madonna's terrible
Prince tribute
Immediately a petition was launched online
that has 10,000 signatures, demanding Madonna not be allowed
to do the tribute. However, Billboard went ahead with it
anyway and "is paying the piper" as Madonna's pathetic
vocals are being slammed all over the internet. Madonna is
not a singer, as she can't sing. She is a pop star (who is
washed up as well). What made them think tone deaf,
non-singing Madonna could sing "Nothing Compares 2 U" with
all its vocal changes. Madonna barely has one octave.
A tweet on Twitter.com remarking on Madonna's terrible
Prince tribute
Piers Morgan had the most scathing comments
regarding Madonna's poor performance, "I do think a tribute
to Prince, a poor karaoke version of Sinead O'Connor was
inappropriate." People on Twitter remarked that Madonna
ruined the Prince tribute with her terrible vocals and
should not have been chosen to do the tribute. Delusional
Madonna slammed people for disliking her performance
branding them haters, but she is a fool. It means the public
does not want to see her. She missed the point altogether.
The public is telling her to go away.
Here is a selection of social networking comments
complied by
the Daily Mail:

'It was karaoke' Piers Morgan joins the protest
against Madonna's panned Prince tribute
PUBLISHED: 08:13, Mon, May 23, 2016 |
UPDATED: 08:45, Mon, May 23, 2016 - The Queen of Pop closed
last night's ceremony, dressed in a glimmering purple suit,
by belting out the late musician's Nothing Compares 2 U,
which was famously covered by Sinead back in 1990. Madonna,
57, came under fire from many on social media, including
Piers who unleashed another tirade against the
mother-of-four on Good Morning Britain.
When one viewer noted that Piers, 50, would
slam Madge's performance regardless, the former Britain's
Got Talent replied: "I do think a tribute to Prince, a poor
karaoke version of Sinead O'Connor was inappropriate." But
he wasn't the only one left unimpressed by last night's
spectacle. Several viewers venting their views on Twitter
agreed with the presenter, with one posting: "Madonna
performing a Prince tribute is offensive on so many levels."
I do think a tribute to Prince, a poor
karaoke version of Sinead O'Connor was inappropriate - Piers
Morgan. Another fumed: "Let me be the first to say… she
sounds awful. #Madonna #BillboardMusicAwards." This
particularly disgruntled audience member barked: "Dearly
Beloved, we are gathered here today to see a horrific flat
version of my music @Madonna #BBMAs #PrinceTributeGoneWrong,"
before another followed: "Madonna is really ruining
everything for me."
Organisers of the ceremony defended
Madonna's tribute after an online petition called for more
musicians to be included. The protest, which was signed by
more than 8,000 people on Change.org, claimed Prince was
"more than worthy of a better choice as a main performer".
However, Piers had nicer things to say about
Stevie Wonder, who joined Madonna for a duet of Purple Rain,
and Celine Dion, whose performance he hailed as "incredibly
moving" following the death of her husband and brother in
the space of a few days earlier this year. This isn't the
first time Piers has made a sworn enemy out of Madonna. He
recently called the popstar "an old fraud" and previously
warned Kylie Minogue not to go near her with a "barge pole".
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV1.
Madonna's tribute to Prince on Billboard Awards: U got
the look, not the voice
May 23, 2016 — 12:39am - Madonna
LET.US.DOWN.AGAIN...asking Madonna to sing a ballad only
shows that she doesn’t have the vocal chops to pull off a
highly emotional tune that demands considerable range.
Furthermore, watching Madonna slowly descend a staircase
with the aid of a cane wasn’t in the best taste. It summoned
images of Prince, wracked by pain that we’ve learned about
since his death on April 21, hobbling with a cane...
Madonna joined by Stevie Wonder as she pays tribute to
Prince at the 2016 Billboard Awards
23 May 2016 • 6:55am - Prince died on April
21 at age 57. Even though the icons collaborated on Love
Song in 1989, and even briefly dated, Madonna was met with
criticism online when Billboard announced she would be the
one to pay homage to The Purple One. Some felt she should
not do the tribute alone, and others said a black artist
should be involved and 8,000 people signed a petition
calling for more musicians to be included and claiming that
Prince was "more than worthy of a better choice as a main
performer."
'This is exactly why Doves cry!' Madonna is savaged on

11:30 EST, 23 May 2016 - Madonna divided critics and the
internet alike for her tribute to the late, great Prince
during the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The 57-year-old Material Girl, who collaborated with the
Purple One and allegedly had a brief relationship with him,
paid homage by donning a Gucci lavender brocade and paisley
suit and ruffled blouse while carrying a cane, and belting
Nothing Compares 2 U onstage at the T-Mobile Arena. She was
then joined by another living icon - Stevie Wonder - for an
organ-heavy rendition of Purple Rain. Yet despite her
personal and professional connection with the rocker, who
tragically died last month aged 57, social media was quick
to round on Madonna...
After a rough stretch of bad publicity and scandal, Mariah
Carey's "#1 To Infinity" album was released and flopped on the
Billboard charts. Some are branding it the biggest mainstream
album flop of the year thus far, debuting with 32,000 copies
sold. This constitutes Carey's lowest sales debut to date. Carey wants to be out there so badly, though she is not in a
state to do so, as evidenced by her disastrous Las Vegas
residency. This eagerness to be on the music scene with new
material, combined with bad publicity online, is proving
detrimental to career's career.
Carey has released commercially
and critically failed albums back to back. First "Elusive
Chanteuse" and now "#1 To Infinity" (Mariah
Carey And Nick Cannon Headed For Divorce After He Does Interview
About His Sexual Conquests). This is not a good
idea for a mainstream artist. Carey should have taken time off to get things in order.
Quality over quantity. The late Whitney Houston, who is
truthfully
the best selling female artist of all time, did not release an
album until she felt she had gotten it right.
Yesterday at the Billboard Music Awards, Miami rapper,
Pitbull, performed his song "Fun" featuring singer Chris Brown.
Pitbull has released
a song "Fun" produced by Miami producers The Monsters
And The Strangerz that sounds an awful lot like the big 1985 hit
"Conga" by fellow Miamians and Cuban-Americans, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound
Machine.
A search online regarding the song reveals no
songwriter's credit or sampling credit for "Fun" has been given to
Enrique E. Garcia who wrote Gloria Estefan and the
Miami Sound Machine's "Conga." Both "Conga" and the later
released "Fun" have very similar beats and
melodies. The songs also share a few mutual lyrics especially the
hook:
Pitbull (2015): "Loosen up
your body baby,
come undone"
Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound
Machine (1985): "Comeand shake your body
baby"
2015's "Fun" by Pitbull
1985's "Conga"
Album credits for Pitbull's "Globalization" which
contains the song "Fun" do not give any credit to the
songwriters of Gloria Estefan's preexisting song "Conga"

May 18, 2015 12:58 AM - Pitbull brought
Miami to Las Vegas at the Billboard Music Awards while Chris
Brown delivered the moves during their performance of “Fun”
on Sunday night (May 17). Channeling Michael Jackson as he
often does, Breezy, dressed in a crimson-colored shiny suit,
christened the stage before Pit descended from the
“rooftop.” The set was built to resemble the type of scenery
one might see on South Beach.
Spitting in both English and Spanish, the
Globalization creator got the crowd jumping in their seats
and maintained the high energy throughout the performance.
The two even hit a couple of merengue steps together.
“Loosen up your body baby, come undone,” Brown sang
pleadingly, while fans in the audience happily obliged.
Before CB joined forces with Pitbull for
“Fun,” he graced the red carpet with a surprising date. The
singer brought along his 10-month-old daughter Royalty to
experience her first awards show. Looks like Breezy decided
to create his own Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
Mariah Carey tries to hit the
whistle register she is famous for and misses:
Mariah Carey’s Billboard Music Awards performance descended
into disaster. Social networking slammed Carey left right and
center over her subpar vocals. The social networking comments
were overwhelmingly unfavorable, due to the state of Carey’s
vocals. Carey forgets we live in an age where software enables
people to strip background music and backup singers to hear what
an artist sounds like live. Someone removed all the background
music and signers from Carey’s performance and the singer’s
vocals were bad. Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Jenner looked at Carey
with awkward expressions over the poorly received performance.
Mariah Carey's full 2015
Billboard Music Awards performance:
This comes on the heels of Carey canceling a performance of
her Las Vegas residency last week citing bronchitis. Carey did
not sound like someone with bronchitis, but a singer whose voice
has deteriorated. The Judiciary Report stated in January 2015
that Carey needed to take a break, spend some time with her kids
and work on getting her life together. It was abundantly clear
to the site she was not ready for any music endeavors, but she
went ahead and signed up for a vocally strenuous Las Vegas
residency and live performances, such as the Billboard Music
Awards and it has turned into one disaster after another.
Mariah Carey performing at the Billboard Music Awards
It does not make sense for singers, especially those in
Carey’s genre, to go out there when they are not at their best.
Seriously, why go out there when you are not at your best. While
Carey sounds better than Britney Spears and Rihanna, who can’t
sing, she still sounds way less than her best and that was
automatically going to invite criticism and damage her legacy.

However, listening to advice has always been Carey’s problem.
During her years at Sony, especially when she just started her
career, she would fight against the executives decisions, who
had experience. She was routinely off base with what she was
fighting for. An example of this would be, she wanted the
impressive songs “Love Takes Time” and “Someday” left off her
debut album, but kept talking up “All In Your Mind” which is
average. They repeatedly warned Carey about her choice in clothes and
behavior, but she started to fight against them when she had
more clout and her sales began to plummet due to the changes. An
artist who won’t listen to constructive criticism and advice is
their own worst enemy.
Mariah Carey on the red carpet
and the Billboard Music Awards
We see that again this year, as Carey, who reads this website
and has for years, rushed forward with the residency that is
experiencing low ticket sales and had a cancellation by her,
after the first week. She is onstage out of breath and being
wheeled around on prop after prop because the show is too taxing
for her. It has nothing to do with age, because Patti Labelle
and Tina Turner put on energetic shows with great vocals and
they are in their 70s.

and the Billboard Music Awards
Carey doesn’t need the money for the shows, as her divorce
proceedings regarding husband Nick Cannon revealed she has
$150,000,000 in cash and assets. Conversely, with the money and
other resources at her disposal, she has the ability to get help
for her voice, appearance and health, but refuses to do so.
Carey is not too old to be a relevant and successful star with
big hits. She is engaging in conduct that is working against
her. She has no one but herself to blame for what is happening
to her career. However, apart of the problem is Carey is
addicted to fame. So she’s going to go out there at all costs,
even if it means embarrassment and damaging her legacy.
