There seems to be a lot of hate in the world. Prince was really against all that...so in my humble opinion, the haters on this thread trashing Madonna are also trashing Prince. He didn't hate her, he had a lot of admiration for her. Secondly, they even were talking about doing a major world tour together.
I've also noticed that most of the hate are coming from people under 30. I grew up in the 1980's. Madonna and Prince were always at the top. Picking Madonna for the tribute is the right thing to do. Rihanna? Come on. I know very little about her, but you people trashing Madonna need to know that as little as I know about this Rihanna, I've seen HER doing a cover of Madonna's song VOGUE. So have a little respect children of 2016....

And recall that the children of the 1980's admired both Prince and Madonna... and she is probably the perfect choice for this award show tribute. There will be full Prince tribute concerts--and many artists will have their moment, but for this show and venue, Madonna is the right choice.

I cannot believe all the hate on here... Where the hell were you people and all your hate when "Lady" Gaga did a David Bowie tribute and no one tapped Grace Jones or Iggy Pop?

Do you younger people even have a clue as to who Grace Jones and Iggy Pop are?

Probably Not.
