The Grammy Awards' tribute to Prince left fans with mixed feelings.
Almost four years after, the Recording Academy honored his legacy on music's biggest night with Usher belting out a medley of the artist's biggest songs.
While Usher sang along to Prince's greatest hits, including"Kiss" and"When Doves Cry," veteran musician Sheila E. accompanied him on drums and Grammy-nominated singer FKA Twigs performed on a pole and danced onstage. Following the performance, fans were split. While some praised Usher's vocals and FKA Twigs' dance moves, others criticized the performance, complaining that FKA Twigs was reduced to a side act on the stage.
"She didn’t want to sing," Sheila E. told USA TODAY backstage. "First she wanted to, but then she didn’t want to when we ran through it because she didn’t have a pack and , so she couldn’t hear. And she would rather have danced – which is what we asked her as well. She chose not to, she said ‘No, I’m OK.’"Earlier in the day, FKA Twigs'"Cellophane" lost out when the 2020 Grammy for best music video went to Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus'"Old Town Road.
