Although I agree with everything you said, I think it’s important to point out that what was appropriate for a funeral is much different than a concert. Fans paid big money to see Stevie in concert, and I don’t think it was egotistical that a majority of the pictures had Stevie with Christine. I thought the song and photos were beautifully done, there were a number of pictures of Christine I had never seen before.

One thing I really wish Stevie had done was played a Christine song instead of Running Down a Dream. Everywhere seems to be played, hate to say it, but everywhere these days, so that would have been a nice reminder for the crowd of Christine’s talent.

You are still missing the point. A memorial is a celebration of life regardless when the death happened. Stevie chose or her people chose glossy glamour shots of her and Stevie together. A bit of ego there regardless of how beautiful the photos are. Prince played on one Stevie track. They crossed paths a few times during their career. Not many photos of them together or none at all. Yet they were photoshopped together making it look like Prince played guitar in her If Anyone Falls video. Imagine if you die and someone photoshops you into the moon landing photo. Its almost a joke.
See a pattern? Its making it about HER just as much as the person in the memorial. That's wrong. Stevie was only a small part in Chris's life. Stevie was even a smaller part of Prince's life. Its Stevie's concert and no one better forget its all about Stevie.
That's all.
