Is Prince Still Sizzling on Stage or Merely Partying Like It's 1999?

This weekend, headliner Prince took to the stage at the annual Coachella music festival. While I would be hard pressed to find a single person who can honestly say they can't name a single good song by him (I liken him to the male version of Madonna in this respect), executing a flawless performance for a discerning audience is a tall order.

Highlights of his performance included 2 clever covers (Radiohead's "Creep" and the Beatles" "Come Together) and of course the rousing "Party Like It's 1999" and hauntingly beautiful ballad "Purple Rain".

What do you think: did Prince heat up the desert with his sexy crooning or take the temperature down a notch? And should he have foregone the covers in lieu of some signature songs he omitted ("Kiss", "Gett Off" and my personal favorite, "Raspberry Beret").

Stay tuned tomorrow for a recap of the opening weekend of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival!
