Like I keep trying to calm myself down to actually watch the performance without jumping up and down but I can’t help it LMAO! I will forever give this man his flowers because the ENERGY with the damn near flawless voice is so unique (I’ve seen him multiple times and though he can be very experimental, I have never heard his voice crack or sound bad). And yes I said his ENERGY is unique because few people can appreciate a jazz-trained voice that has great vocal range, be able to sound like a rocker, and most importantly COMPLETELY LOSE HIS MIND ON STAGE. Lol! I am #TeamUnhingedBilal all day!!!!

@@travisblair3189 In The Martyrdom of Isaiah, Belial is a demon of lawlessness and "the ruler of this world." Belial is also the patron of secrets, domination, and seduction. Prince Roger's Nelson was the embodiment of the Androgynous Demon of seduction "Prince Belial!!" It was not coincidence that Bilal was "chosen" to also "play the role" and become the personification of that spirit.

Prince loved Bilal and respected his purity of artistry. I interviewed Bilal after one of his concerts. Let me say Bilal held back lots so if that's any indication of this tribute, check out his concerts lol He is Super Full throttle that on his sets, you see the influence. Prince even made it his PURPLE ROYAL business to sit in unexpectedly on Bilal on tour gigs. Definitely this was befitting. I miss Prince like others. I will always love how he let me play his music on my platforms bc if you know Prince he was sending Cease n Desist lol Never to me. Proud of BET giving honor to a Legend. 💜💜💜💜💜💜👑
