Madonna rende omaggio a Prince (insieme a Stevie Wonder) ai Billboard Music Awards 2016 (VIDEO!) scritto da Alberto Muraro 23 Maggio 2016 Questa notte Madonna è salita sul palco dei Billboard Music Awards 2016 (qui la lista completa dei vincitori), come promesso, per rendere un suo speciale tributo a Prince, una delle più grandi star del soul mondiale scomparso qualche settimana fa in circostanze ancora del tutto da chiarire: la regina del pop, vestita con un outfit molto particolare in puro stile folletto di Minneapolis, ha regalato al pubblico una performance davvero molto toccante (e, dobbiamo dire, più vocalmente convincente del solito). Madonna non si è però esibita da sola: la regina del pop è stata affiancata, nel corso della seconda canzone (l’immortale Purple Rain) dallo straordinario, una delle più grandi star che la black music abbia mai conosciuto. Il primo pezzo scelto per questo tributo a Prince è stato invece Nothing compares 2 u, pezzo celeberrimo scritto per Sinaead O’ Connor. Qui sotto trovate il video dell’omaggio di Madonna e Stevie Wonder a Prince ai Billboard Music Awards 2016: che ne pensate?
