Sam, Whatever and Snarky you are all young fools. If you can't appreciate real talent sod off.

Prince proved again that he is the best performer out there. Long live his Royal badness!

I am a lifelong Prince fan and I was disappointed. Where was the new material? Not even a peep from the most recent album! I could have used a little Lolita myself.

Obviously the best halftime ever and that press conference was almost as good. Prince is straight-up bad-azz and I don't think there is anyone out there who can touch him. Dude can play anything (rock, funk, jazz, punk, blues, soul, r&b) and play it well.

His voice and guitar sounded AMAZING!!! Best Half-time show I have seen in a very long time, if ever. Thank goodness I didn't have to listen to Areosmith again!

Jen H Tue, Feb 6, 2007 at 11:24 AM EST

That was absolutely the best half-time show I've ever seen .... almost made me forget that the usual acts stink it up all over the field. I think his performance proved his enduring legend status. He was ALL that!!!

Kiki, I knew that I recognized that song. I think that he was thanking the Foo's for covering his Nikki.

Prince was fabulous! That brother violently threw his mic stand down and made the audience sing for him...and they did quite well. You have to have bad-a$$ status for the audience to get that into it.

...and "Purple Rain" in the rain??? I almost fell out of my chair.

I thought he under-utilized the huge stage that he had -- he should have had more, and flashier, dancers. I also thought his song choices were on the slow, depressing side -- the Superbowl's a PARTY! He shoulda been rockin out with 'Kiss' and some more upbeat material.

So what about a link to the Oprah and Letterman clip IN CASE IS MISSED THAT (too) Super Bowl Edition?

Where's the link to that, Sophia? xoxo

How was it that in the pouring rain, Prince's face did not appear at all wet, even in HD? Was he wearing some sort of water repelling makeup?

Props to Prince for an entertaining performance.

PRINCE ROCKED THE HOUSE! HE WAS AWESOME

Sometimes I take an artist for granted after a long period of time but then I see such a mind-blowing performance as this one and remember why they are as successful as they are. I want to see Prince perform live so bad now...

Mk Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 09:10 PM EST

Did you hear him? Did you listen? He was GREAT! I can understand not liking that kind of music, but to deny he's not a complete master of it? As far as fear of wardrobe malfunctions with "younger artists", have you checked Ms. Jackson's driver's license? Talent, not age matters.

Princess Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 09:09 PM EST

You people are nuts! Prince was awesome! He puts on a great show every time. Thanks for the link to the press conference.

Mike Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 07:52 PM EST

I thought it was the best halftime show in recent memory -- which isn't saying much, I know. Still, given the constraints (time, general public apathy toward halftime shows), I thought Prince rocked pretty hard. At least this much is true: I can't think of many guitarists out there right now who can touch him.

Kiki Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 07:31 PM EST

Would Prince's cover of "Best of You" come from the fact that the Foo Fighter's covered his "Darling Nikki"?

sam Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 07:18 PM EST

Yawn. The typical overblown, self-important, boring Prince. He must have really good public relations people to make so many people buy into his "royalness."

whatever Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 06:39 PM EST

I thought the half time show was more boring than it usually is...Prince?? I understand why they don't want young stars up there...another "wardrobe malfunction" but i think they need to find an artist who fully bridges the generation gap....

snarky Mon, Feb 5, 2007 at 06:26 PM EST

Prince is no longer the talent he once was. Why do people continue to put this mediocre "artist" on a pedestal? (American Idol, Super Bowl, etc.) The Super Bowl half time shows are a snore anyway.
