Usher left Grammys viewers divided on Sunday night after delivering a tribute to Prince with FKA Twigs and Sheila E.
The trio performed a medley of Prince’s songs during the ceremony inside Los Angeles’s Staples Center.
Usher sang “Little Red Corvette,” “When Doves Cry” and “Kiss” while Sheila E, Prince’s former drummer, accompanied him.
FKA Twigs didn’t sing but pole danced before joining Usher for more dance moves during “Kiss”.
Some fans praised Usher’s performance while others were left underwhelmed by the tribute, expressing their disappointment at not having heard FKA Twigs’s voice.
