Anyone else disappointed by the Oscar performance?

[Ronlop 6,882]

The first chorus in this performance gave me goosebumps. I loved it. It is probably my favorite from her live performances. I kind of wish the studio version mixing sounded so clear like that.

The bridge & second chorus wasn't her best but she was probably really nervous. And same goes for Bradley

I would love to see any of you perform at the Oscars in front of millions of people and see if you nail it.

This fanbase, I swear, always nitpicking

Kids, Lets get the number one. Keep these threads for the times when we are craving for new music and bored to death

personally i like the little flaws it makes it organic and human

I know, it's the Oscars, high standards, but still, i think that's what distinguishes an artist from a vocalist

No because she’s a human being whom was singing live. Let’s not pretend that they didn’t have to record her singing the actual track live multiple times until she hit the notes correctly.

She can be a great vocalist but what she lacks is consistency. Look at the musical theatre actors, those are very consistent performers.

No thanks, musical theatre singers can never make it as pop stars because they all sound the friggin same!

Here's a PROFESSIONAL reviewing the performance. It was perfect.

That is wrong on so many levels

Come on, she's not doing it objectively. She couldn't even belt the B4 properly and hit the D5 correctly 0 times.

Not the performance, but I’m still disappointed by what she chose to wear on the red carpet and ESPECIALLY for her performance outfit that she kept on to win the award. A black bathing top and a beyond basic black skirt?  No.no.no.

They were honestly quite obviously nervous during this performance so I let the vocal issues slide. Bradley was so nervous I could taste it lmaooo

Yes I think nerves plus maybe she knew the drama that performance was gonna cause with the GP.  Maybe that's why she immediately was knocking down champagne when they went offstage

She is a great vocalist. And I don't get what you mean about her inconsistency.

She can have amazing performances, near pitch-perfect, e.g. TSOM, MR Royal Variety, yet sometimes it's just messy vocals, e.g. Grammys 2018, 2019 and Oscars 2019. I blame this year's performances on smoking, she had the same problem during the early part of Joanne era.
