The late singer was honored in tributes last night on the Billboard music awards. It is what went on all over social media that bothered me. People said that the performance by Stevie Wonder and Madonna could have been done with Morris Day, Sheila E and the Time. Anyway Billboard has a top 10 list of the best performances which included Kesha and even Justin Bieber.

What the crowd wasn’t prepared for was when Stevie Wonder strolled onstage to help the pop icon lead "Purple Rain. Rihanna, dabbing in time, and The Weeknd were singing along as the whole arena waved their light-up wristbands, which were, of course, purple.
