After drama and reports in reputable electronic and print media about Prince pooh-poohing an appearance on Fox's American Idol, His Royal Badness made a surprise guest appearance on the American Idol finale just before the announcement of the winner.

Even with all the wierdness he's gone through, he is still bad. I'm sure that performance will boost the sales of his new album. It sure made me miss the Prince of old...perhaps there'll be a reunion of his old band, Morris Day and the Time...etc., etc.

Here's the video of his AI performance. enjoy.
