The list of people being suggested is hilarious! This entire generation is doomed and this entire network is a joke and just making a joke out of a true icon. Prince would never approve of BET ruining his legacy! 😂😂😏

Rihanna, Britney Spears, Madonna, Celine Dion: Women ruled the Billboard Music Awards
Rihanna, Britney Spears, Madonna and Celine Dion all played the 2016 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. The remarkable line-up of musical powerhouses made up for the fact that the show was a ludicrous three-and-a-half hours long during which they handed out a paltry seven awards for such dubious accomplishments as Billboard Chart Achievement Award.
The Best
Madonna: The Queen fittingly opened her Prince tribute with some fiery licks of “Let’s Go Crazy” followed by a cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U.” For the set, Madonna sat in a purple throne and wore a purple glitter suit that could have been swiped from Prince’s tour wardrobe. A string quartet accompanied her as photos of Prince flashed in the background. The song was good, but felt like a funeral straight out of Empire more than a solemn and touching — or particularly memorable – memorial. That all changed with Stevie Wonder came out to help her lead a singalong to “Purple Rain” and the audience, including Rihanna and The Weeknd, held their purple glow sticks aloft, and sang to close out the show
BEST: Madonna and Stevie Wonder Lead a "Purple Rain" Sing-Along
Some viewers were unimpressed or even outraged at the modest scale of this performance – BET tweeted shade afterward. But no star – probably no stageful of stars – could hope to embody Prince's genius in a single performance, and maybe it was wise not to try to imitate him. After a moving Questlove speech – Prince's "departure," the lifelong Purple One fanatic said, "was an earthquake" – Madonna was revealed, seated in an enormous purple throne that rotated to reveal her spectacular outfit: a silver suit with a Prince-like ruffled shirt. She set aside her trademark fierceness to sing an unshowy "Nothing Compares 2 U," as photos of the late superstar flashed behind her. Then, unannounced, Stevie Wonder stepped from the wings singing "Purple Rain." A duet soon became arena-wide sing-along – just as it has in homes and bars and clubs and arenas around the world for the past month.
It's been more than "seven hours and 13 days" since multi-hyphenate musician Prince passed away in April, but Madonna and Stevie Wonder's tribute to the late artist at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday proves his legacy will continue on.
The highly-anticipated homage took place on a purple stage — the artist's signature colour — and started with Madonna, seated atop a violet throne singing "Nothing Compares 2 U," the Prince song popularized by Sinead O'Connor's cover.
Madonna — who was born in 1958, the same year as Prince — performed wearing a lavender, paisley-print suit with frilly lace sleeves, a cravat and a cane, inspired by the singer's costume from the film "Purple Rain."
Though some doubted whether Madonna would be a good fit to eulogize Prince, the two were longtime friends. At one point, Prince reportedly proposed to her.
The pair also collaborated on the 1989 single, "Love Song."
Once Madonna wrapped the last bars of "Nothing Compares 2 U," she was greeted on-stage by Stevie Wonder, and the two sang the film's title song together.
The two-song medley brought the awards show audience to their feet for the duration of the production.
"Thank you, thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen," said Madona, to the crowd after the performance. "And most of all, thank you, Prince Rogers Nelson, for all that you have given us. Thank you. Good night."
The Billboard Music Awards wrapped shortly thereafter, and it's fair to call this touching moment one of the night's most memorable highlights.
