PRINCE HINTED AT ‘IDOL’ SURPRISE IN BIBLICAL E-MAIL: Artist sent out an e-mail early Wednesday with the words, “First Corinthians 10:14.”
*No one knew what to make of an e-mail from Prince that was addressed to various news outlets Wednesday morning containing only his picture and the words “First Corinthians 10:14.” But as soon as the curtain rose on his surprise “American Idol” appearance Wednesday night, it all made perfect sense.
The biblical passage in First Corinthians 10:14. says: “Wherefore , my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”
Prince made headlines earlier in the season after tabloids reported he was in talks to appear on “American Idol” as a singing coach and to possibly perform. The show’s executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, outright denied that meetings even took place between the two parties, as rumors had suggested.
Turns out, the tabloids were right. Prince was the last surprise guest after earlier appearances from Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Al Jarreau, Meatloaf, Live, Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach joined the “Idol” finalists during the two-hour telecast.
As previously reported, Prince has two Las Vegas shows lined up for tomorrow and Sunday (May 27 and May 28). Billed as an evening with Prince and special guest Tamar Davis, The Empire Ballroom in Las Vegas has temporarily re-named the intimate hall The 3121 Club (1,500 seats) in honor of the Minneapolis star.
Tamar, his latest protégé, appears with Prince in the song "Beautiful, Loved, & Blessed," which can be found on both Prince’s album “3121,” and her Aug. 29 Universal Republic debut CD, “Milk & Honey.”
