Happy Thanksgiving! Hope the NPNY posse got its share of good food, lots of fun and great shopping. I couldn't let another day pass (I've been meaning to do this for a couple of months now) without writing about this. Every time I turn around I'm hearing about yet another performer who has been inspired by and copied Prince. Most recently Jay-Z performed at Hammerstein Ballroom and guess What Jigga What, Jigga Who had? A horn section and all live instruments. No background tape or tracks for this performer. Jigga did the acoustic sing-along and then in Prince like fashion walked off the stage saying "Y'all don't need me." when the crowd knew all the words to his songs----COPY CAT. I saw Beyonce on tour this summer, and home girl had a serious percussion section along with horns. And just about everyone, Jay-Z, Beyonce, all of the Prince wanna-bes are doing an acoustic sing-along mid-way through their performance. Homegirl also did an interlude of "You Make Me Crazy" halfway through her "Crazy in Love" song ----so Prince---COPY CAT And, now, guess whose playing instruments during his performance? Justin Timberlake. He played both the piano and the guitar during his recent tour. I guess singing isn't enough and now artists want to show that they're more than just singers and they're multi-talented---COPY CAT Just goes to show how Prince has inspired the world and now everyone is aiming to be a better performer, talent and be their ultimate best on stage. I can't complain. People should be working harder for their money. May Prince continue to keep setting the bar higher and higher. I'm not mad at the copy cats.
