I'm p sure Prince's family, friends & fans don't care about who is hot and popular though.

Shelia E would be a better choice than Madonna

Chaka Khan is and always will be relevant. Linda sit down...

Madonna is perfect for the tribute. As many have said, the trinity of pop's golden era are MJ, Madonna and Prince, no matter how you spin it. Undeniable fact. Having one of the 3 members of that trinity paying homage to another is the ultimate tribute, the ultimate event, the ultimate pop moment. Haters can seethe

Chaka's last top ten hit was in 1986 and she was a featured artist...

But Linda Perry, you're not relevant either. You are are a 90's one hit wonder. Have several seats. No wonder Pink don't like her ass. Not here for Madonna doing this tribute, it should not be about who is 'hot and 'popular'. They need to pick people who really associated with Prince. Madonna is not the right pick. I just can't picture her singing his songs.

BET awards, you literally have a month to get this right.

Exactly She is basically saying Billboard isn't doing this to honor Prince, but for the ratings. Which is disrespectful to Prince, his legacy and all his fans.

Linda was not shading Sheila at all, she was speaking from Billboard's perspective.
I don't know why so many people and even Sheila herself are going in on her.
People are so dumb nowadays.
