Madonna rende omaggio a Prince (insieme a Stevie Wonder) ai Billboard Music Awards 2016 (VIDEO!)

scritto da Alberto Muraro

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?

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away

Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues

`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It’s been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, “Girl, you better try to have fun no matter what you do.”
But he’s a fool

`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
