Let the Music In - Sheila E. has lived her life through music since she was a little girl in her family's band. She knows the ropes when it comes to playing instruments, especially the drums. It wasn't long before her insane skills earned her a spot as the opener of Prince's tour and he even brought her on as part of his band. Prince truly loved instruments, so when he sees a musical genius like himself, he can't help but connect with them. (Photo: Andrew Toth/Getty Images)

Love Bizarre - She and Prince had been together for a long while. So much so that she can barely recall when they weren't. They were engaged for goodness sakes! Meanwhile, Madonna and Prince could barely settle their decade-long feud... *Sips tea*(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for NCLR)

One Helluva Glamorous Life - Let's throw some shade real quick. It took Prince and Sheila E. a week to record "The Glamorous Life," and she had quite a glam life performing and touring with the one and only Prince. Meanwhile, rumor has it that Prince refused to even do a music video with Madonna let alone go on tour with her. Sorry, girl! (Photo: Warner Bros. Records)

Make It Legendary - It's overwhelmingly obvious that Madonna's tribute got less than poor reviews as the performance continued to drag on and on. Whereas Sheila E. already has had the chance to perfect Prince's sound and magic while still maintaining her own from performing with him for all those years. A true Prince tribute needs that whimsical, moving magic that will make you feel the spirit of the legendary Prince. (Photo: Ebet Roberts / Redferns/Getty Images)
