It was quite an awkward performance, yes..

You could tell he was nervous.

That's okay, I hated it too and could tell that he was completely not wanting to sing the song or perform. 

I'm a fan of Sam's and it's the worst performance of his I've seen from him. Then, he went on to the acceptance speech which showed little perpetration and made it worse in the interviews after. 

With his extreme weight loss, I was wondering if he is on drugs. I'm not being mean here, I'm genuinely thinking something is different, as he has always come across differently than he did that night. I've read and watched several of his long interviews and he is acting differently. IMO.

Isn't he usually a good singer live? What happened? 

This same thing happened with Adele at the Grammy's. Is the Gaga curse ending them all!?

Adele had an instrument malfunction, that caused an out of tune strumming sound throughout much of her performance. That's a big problem for a vocalist. I don't know what happened with Sam.

It's been a couple days since the Oscars and I still haven't listened to his performance and tbh I'm not gonna do it any time soon.

He's not the only one who thinks so. The performance hasn't been uploaded to his Vevo channel (despite Gaga and The Weeknd putting theirs up and they lost) and the Oscar highlights didn't include his performance, yet included the loser's performances. Very odd, wouldn't you say? By the looks of it, the academy is majorly regretting their decision to let him win. I hope this means they rethink their strategy next year and actually listen to all the songs before voting.

I think this only proves that he wasn't the best choice for the song. Bond themes require confident singers with powerful voices. Personally, I've always found his voice papery thin and weak at the best of times (it's beyond me why some people call him soulful) and his falsetto is very prone to failure and is certainly not to everyone's taste. He's the kind of singer who I really imagine nerves getting to. His whole personality has always had an air of nervousness about it. I think that's why the public didn't accept the theme with open arms. They found it too vulnerable, not confident enough. It's actually a solid song and maybe more people could have seen that had a different performer, one with more experience and confidence, sang it instead. I dislike the franchise's method of selecting who's going to do the theme - picking the most popular singer at the time. It makes no sense. Not everyone at the top of the charts has the chops for a Bond theme in many respects. Sometimes, choosing someone who's not the most popular but fits the bill is a better choice. Muse were a massive contender for the Skyfall theme and the song that they wrote (before it became Skyfall) was Supremacy and I love it, check it out. Adele's is excellent too, but this would have been just as awesome. Radiohead were apparently another contender for Spectre. But neither of these acts were the biggest at the time, so they missed out. I think it's sad that an act who actually could do the theme justice is flung aside just because they weren't popular enough.

I think he's changed a lot since his weight loss. He's notably more confident now (maybe becoming thinner gave him a boost?) The way he swore in his backstage interview after winning was certainly out of character from the Sam Smith who broke onto the scene in 2014. I don't know about drugs but he's certainly changed, personality-wise, since his transformation. Maybe it's genuine or maybe it's a front to get through the fame.

I think people are too harsh on Sam but this made me chuckle.
