Totally!! They complimented each other perfectly!!! 2 big musical talents on the same stage...loved it!!! Amazing 5 minutes of great music!!!!!! Miss Prince!!!
When Beyoncé started going off singing the chorus at 1:56 and Prince said “go on”, that my friends is a stamp of approval from a legend such as Prince. Gone too soon 😔
I grew up on Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson why am I here? I'm 62 and watched Purple Rain for the first time. I heard of Prince and Madonna growing up but I wasn't into their style of music and nobody in Idaho played it. Watching this man, even if his music isn't my style I recognize a genius.
They recognize her. They molded and trained her. She been in the game ever since she was little they all been knew her and pushed her that’s why she had so much respect and the best team
Hate that Prince is no longer w/ us, and miss him. It's crazy sad, but that's the only reason we're able to enjoy his music and live performances. Urrgh!
I love that Beyoncé always so humble when she’s around legends that came before her. She always shows them love and respect. Her and Prince killed this performance with EASE.
So did Stevie Wonder, Ronald Isley, Frankie Beverly, Georges Michael, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Gladys, Patti, Barbara Streisand, Anita Baker, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Toni Braxton and many more
Many people overlook prince’s guitar skills because of his amazing songwriting, flamboyant personality and slick dance moves. He is definitely top 20 guitarists in the world to me and I’m not exaggerating. He’s been quoted by the man Eric Clapton himself, as the greatest guitar player ever.
@MetalizedButt so true on Prince. I have read that Eric Clapton had quoted this on Prince months before he died, I have yet to hear it or see it in print? Would you have a link possibly
No chance. He'd tell you that too I bet. Clapton is a mediocre guitarist at best, his opinion means shit. Hendrix, Zappa, Krieger, Page, Mclaughlin...list is endless. He's a great composer and can play lots of instruments but definitely not the best.
@@karyn27 wrong . Guitar magazine rated him as one of the best axe men ever . You have no idea from his pop albums but he can shred like anyone . Hendrix ? Not a problem
Beyoncé is a living legend, she has done everything!! She has perform with legends and for legends, have numerous accolades, sold many records, been in big movies, their nothing she hasn’t done!! She will be remembered for generations to come!
I met Prince in ‘07 when the company I work for developed & sold his custom fragrance 3121; he was laid back & cool…knowing he was a Beatles fan, I gave him a CD copy of the mono mix of Sgt Pepper copied from vinyl which was a unique gift 2 years before that became available as part of The Beatles’ 2009 remasters; he was sincerely appreciative; I got to see 3 Prince shows in one day in his native Minneapolis; he played 7 songs at Macy’s (!) since they had exclusive rights to the fragrance when it first came out then an arena show from the 15th row then an after hours jam at the club where Purple Rain was filmed; a memorable day indeed
Lol and her singing is terrible during this event.She sounds like any average karaoke singer but I give her much respect and credit for singing live.Go B!! She still sings better than me lol
@@cynthiastevens8302 I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I do not agree. Her voice has changed over the years and isn't as high pitched as it was here but she's still a mezzo soprano. I think she sounded great. To each is own I suppose.
I remember seeing this live, she made me so proud. I think she was 22-23 y o here, can you imagine being so young, winning 5 out of the 6 Grammy's you're nominated for your first solo album and performing with one of the biggest artists that ever lived. Whitney, Diana, Michael, Stevie, Mariah, George Michael and Prince knew and publicly stated very early into her career that Beyonce had something special and they all predicted longevity for her, talent recognizes talent.
They complimented each other on so many levels! He’s timeless and she’s a beautifully poised woman. RIP Prince and Beyoncé take what you’ve learned from him, sprinkle it onto your performances and u continue to be a legend in the making.
She used her body to fill the space perfectly when they were dancing together..people won't understand until they tried to do it..physics in motion.. I decided to try modeling once just for myself ..youd be surprised how little it is to do with how good you look versus spatial awareness..nobody talks about it but it's a skill in itself.. like being Spiderman..you have to know where everything is and them see yourself from the camera angle..it's really something ..I fully recommend anyone to try..
@@kkibela yes she did. The stage was too small for them and Beyoncé knew how to like you said to take up the space with the right amount of energy like a hype man and they both made that performance epic. Even with the hits and misses it looked so good to see them catch them and spin them back!
@@kkibela : Worked for a decade in Fashion courtesy of growing up in NYC & attending The Fashion Institute of Technology which had very knowledgeable Instructors.

Beyonce is really a definition of a true beauty in and out. Full of talents and beauty from all angle. The reason God made a girl. And she still shining till date.
I love Prince! I loved this performance of Prince and Beyoncé. I can tell he liked her. I can tell she’s was in awe of him. When he said don’t hate us because we are fabulous I knew he was pleased. At that moment I knew he felt she did her best and he appreciated that. She kept pointing at him and he pointing back at her and her smile was priceless because she was humbled being on stage with Prince.
Prince was so impressed by Beyonce... He really enjoyed her voice and energy... You can tell by the way he turned around at the 2:00 mark... If it would have been the 80s, Beyonce would have been his idea "Prince Girl"... May he forever rest in Peace...We lost him way too soon...
Delusional social media fans. Prince was clearly annoyed when Beyoncé wouldn’t give him the microphone. He kept it together though because he’s a class act. But everything about this performance is so incredibly awkward. She completely butchered the song by oversinging it.
He’s a total wildcard live, so she did great following his lead. Doesn’t matter what happens in rehearsals with him. That gets you mayyyybe 90% of what you can expect if you’re collabing on stage with him. And he was that great, it was just accepted. Honor to share the stage.
This was princes thing.... it’s all style.... he could play the same songs so many different ways he made his performances fresh. Beyoncé fit right in, she understands style in performance. Well executed by both!!

Maaaaan!!!!!!! I was in Jr high when this aired! It was such a good time in music! Prince, icon! Beyonce now an Icon and legend! She was always so humble and eager to work hard and push and look where she is now! I love this!!!!! Take me back to this time! 😫
Check out his straight gospel. Dawn of the morning comes and walking in glory. He only wrote and recorded gospel songs on Sundays. He kept that day dedicated to God he said
U might wanna reconsider that observation. I think he was perfectly fine with how Sinead O Connor did Nothing Compares 2 U. And he wrote songs for plenty of people
Tobias Burrell wait this is embarrassing i didn’t mean to reply to you 😭 i meant to reply to the one comment saying beyoncé isn’t one of the best performers & shes insulting to james brown lmfao i’m dumb my badddd
Prince was a genius and his vocals omg I love this song and nothing compares 2 you love paisley park aswell and him and beyonce really smashed it with this performance i was lucky to get to see prince in Edinburgh Scotland and the hole concert was fricking great and love the way he always highlights his musicians rip prince xxxx
Two icons on level playing fields. Both just doin their thing. No one trying to upstage the other. Prince thought thec world of Bey and was even infatuated with her. JayZ had a bit of a jealous steak and was there during rehearsals...lol. This was the most talked about show among his band.
And he forgot to share the mic with her at 3:13 for her initial exclamation. I dont think nerves was the issue for Beyonce, it was more she was just caught up in the rush and energy of the performance
I know it was memorable for Bey. People can critique it all they want. When you can perform with Legend, it is life changing. I enjoyed it. R.i.P. Prince
I'll always say that it was a true testament to Prince that he knew she was really trying to take over the performance, but he was so gracious, such a professional, and gently guided her back to center, and then let her shine. 💜💜
@@squarcircle2254 what are you talking about???? This is MY perception of the interaction on stage as one who was a performer as well. No one said there was any interview where he said this. Chill out.

PURE FACT
They recognize her. They molded and trained her. She been in the game ever since she was little they all been knew her and pushed her that’s why she had so much respect and the best team

This performance used to be impossible to find
bruh just found this now, only heard audio and saw pics.
Yes, Prince was very severe with yt, video and audio,maybe now... things are obviously changed..
Yes I thought it was just me I use to search and search for it
Hate that Prince is no longer w/ us, and miss him. It's crazy sad, but that's the only reason we're able to enjoy his music and live performances. Urrgh!

I see you
The fact that he said he loved working with her is a huge compliment. Prince usually doesn’t talk about other artists lol.

Prince loved Beyonce for sure & so did MJ ! The fact that she got to make her idols proud is amazing to me! 🤩
Madonna loves her too. She has three pop royalties’ stamp of approval.

So did Diana Ross.

i think prince and freddie mercury are the most legendary musicians we’ve ever seen
madison rose Michael Jackson
What a life and journey bey has lived!!! She is beyond blessed
Maaaaan!!!!!!! I was in Jr high when this aired! It was such a good time in music! Prince, icon! Beyonce now an Icon and legend! She was always so humble and eager to work hard and push and look where she is now! I love this!!!!! Take me back to this time! 😫
OMG YESSS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!
She really met his energy!!! 🥵
Prince wad a true artist, writer, composer, producer and played every instrument.
The real DEAL!
Prince has to be in heaven. His music has a gospel, sanctified, take me to church rhythm in it.
I agree with you. :-) He sings with angels. He is The Angel.💜🌟
Check out his straight gospel. Dawn of the morning comes and walking in glory. He only wrote and recorded gospel songs on Sundays. He kept that day dedicated to God he said
Beyoncé throwing off Tina Turner vibes 👌🏼 I love their chemistry 🔥
Prince hated other people singing his songs.....but I guess Bey gets a special pass!
U might wanna reconsider that observation. I think he was perfectly fine with how Sinead O Connor did Nothing Compares 2 U. And he wrote songs for plenty of people
@@a.taylor8294 He wasn’t.
And Jennifer Hudson too
@@nisha5669 he wasnt please with mariah and shes his friend . He said do you want me to cover butterfly
@@hamzaelaloui2070 mariah never covered his songs
😃😃😃 I like how they was each other back up singer.
And dancer
Right? Two superstars without ego enjoying each others artistry.
2:06 Prince is all....give me that mic little girl😜😍
I miss prince so much ! Beautiful soul ❣️
Beyoncé was very nervous and when she's nervous, she forgets the others around her. lol Prince was so magical, he kept her together.
You can't mess with James Browns goddkids. That's Prince, Michael, and Bey
Hèracles Pirena is that sexism? Or who else should be included???
@@manduul_bat No one. Beyoncé, Prince and Michael are legends and the music speaks for itself. They're God's at what they do.
Tobias Burrell & beyoncé isn’t ?????
@@boob2307 Isn't what?
Tobias Burrell wait this is embarrassing i didn’t mean to reply to you 😭 i meant to reply to the one comment saying beyoncé isn’t one of the best performers & shes insulting to james brown lmfao i’m dumb my badddd
OH so much diva on that stage and I love it!!
Prince was a genius and his vocals omg I love this song and nothing compares 2 you love paisley park aswell and him and beyonce really smashed it with this performance i was lucky to get to see prince in Edinburgh Scotland and the hole concert was fricking great and love the way he always highlights his musicians rip prince xxxx
Beyonce, struttin around the stage with that tambourine like she was at the Holy Ghost Tabernacle Southern Charm Missionary Baptist Church. 💃🏾🎶🎉
Let the church say, "Amen". 🤣🤣🤣
Bahaaa
Hahahhaha
I admire the guitar arrangement over Beyonce´s song! He is the ONE!
Go back to Mexico
I know Prince would be proud of Bey for Renaissance :')
3:20 Beyonce getting strudy😂😂😂😁😁
His presence on stage is so classic. He is pure confidence♡ .... i miss him dearly💜💜💜💜💜
bey the only artist admired by both Michael and prince
When MJ admired bey?
Deniz Yüksel Do your research... Michael is the main one who always admired Bey
@@denizyuksel6600 bitch the shade lol
"admired " is a strong word. They were older, she admired them
Stacy Robinson well both of them were fans of beyonce that's why Prince asked bey to perfom with him and she was shocked
Two icons on level playing fields. Both just doin their thing. No one trying to upstage the other. Prince thought thec world of Bey and was even infatuated with her. JayZ had a bit of a jealous steak and was there during rehearsals...lol. This was the most talked about show among his band.
He could have stolen her from JayZ in a second that's why and JayZ knew a real threat was present.
@@irishcountrygirl78 she couldn't.
Unfortanely Beyoncé loves Jay z too much and it's too loyal to him
Man, I could listen to this forever, what great talent. Feeling blessed to have been part of these two generations.
Beyoncé was so nervous she forgot she was supposed to share the mic with Prince 😭😭❤
Nervous? Where???
What!?! She didn't forget, lol. She yanked it away & hogged the Mike 🎙️
Monie Luvs shut up she was nervous people do things when they’re nervous
And he forgot to share the mic with her at 3:13 for her initial exclamation. I dont think nerves was the issue for Beyonce, it was more she was just caught up in the rush and energy of the performance
@@dawudjibreel6075 no she even stated that she was nervous
During purple rain, Prince like “ bih, you know your gonna hold the mic for me.”
This comment the goat 😂😂😂
Lol
Haha I’m sure it was rehearsed or at least agreed upon.
Corece Smith she never showed up to practice real talk
A man 5’2 that could steal your girl. 🥵
Beyonce did that 👏👏👏👏 Damn I miss Prince 🙏
I know it was memorable for Bey. People can critique it all they want. When you can perform with Legend, it is life changing. I enjoyed it. R.i.P. Prince
Still gives me goosebumps. Prince. THE. LEGEND.💜
The Prince and the Queen Bee! Great medley, poppin' performance! Love you, Minneapolis's own. R.I.P., Beautiful One.
Keep on slayin', Beyonce!
Charlie Murphy said it best.. Prince was incredible..
Legends being legendary
The end was spectacular...❤❤❤ they were great together..😍💜
I'll always say that it was a true testament to Prince that he knew she was really trying to take over the performance, but he was so gracious, such a professional, and gently guided her back to center, and then let her shine. 💜💜
That’s a lie. Where did it say that? He continued to love her even after this.
@@squarcircle2254 what are you talking about???? This is MY perception of the interaction on stage as one who was a performer as well. No one said there was any interview where he said this. Chill out.
Very obvious 🙄
@@HeartofInspiration it is from “personal observances” like yours that people make building falsities about someone.
Damn I didn’t know they performed together. 😩✨
Where have you been?!
utbr01 😎
SWEETIE...GUESS I BEEN LIVING UNDERNEATH A ROCK ALSO 😹MEOW😹
@@phillipswatson3452 WHAT?! Just THE BEST Opening in Grammy history!!! It was hot!! Beys dress from this performance WAS in a museum, don't know if it still is. They were GREAT
utbr01 😎
OK... I'M AWAKE KNOW 😇DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YEAR?
I've seen this in 2004 at the Grammy Awards. I'm sure did remember this.💯💜👏🏾👍🏾
Bruh. He just threw the guitar. Legend!
Prince didn't give notice unless real talent. B is Blessed to sing with him.
Always Loved and Remembered ❤
3:20 How the heII was she doing those so quickly and effortlessly
