let's hope it's better than her MJ tribute speech

Well her and Prince were actually lovers and then friends for decades, MJ ditched her in early 90s because he was jealous of her freedom and he openly hated her and she knew it.

It's who he would have wanted in this situation, so I can't say that I'm surprised.

I agree that she's perfect choice to do tribute, but then, i can't help but think of her vocals and skills on guitar, i'm kinda worried how will that end up.

Yeah, that's true. Prince invited her to his private concert recently before he passed. So their relationship was definitely better than hers and MJ. She's probably going to share her experience working together on Like A Prayer or something. I doubt there's going to be any performance tho, just speeches.

Oh she'll do fine, I may loathe her - but I'll give the devil her due and say that she'll do everything to prepare and be the best that she can be.

I'm excited and worried at the same time.

I don't think that her voice could fit well in Prince's songs. sia4 But a 'Love Song' performance with some screen technology that could make him appear along her would slay that night. yas2yas2
