Yeah her vocals were good, but the backdrop and her faces were giving me high school drama production. The dancing was not good and the problem is that when you reference Beyoncé’s style so closely like that you need to kill it or it will be painfully obvious how short you are falling. Whereas when you see how Normani is serving Janet, Ciara and Aaliyah, she slays that.

I still love the song and she has a lot of potential, but the overhype she’s getting on here is starting to irk me. But anyway, I can already hear myself starting to become a nag, so I’ll yet y’all enjoy this. 

Okay I'll say just one last piece:

Yeah perhaps the production value was low, but her ability to take up that huge ass stage with only 3 shrubs and a handful of dancers was incredible. most artists need some super elaborate set or a ton of dancers to make the performance feel grand and incredible. She did all that with very little, and I thought the faces were perfect for the performance. Medusa is known for her stare, so her over the shoulder staring down the camera was so different and perfect. The dancing was good imo, VERy high energy and yeah, a little messy, but she wasn't going for Normani's precision, she was giving monster energy so it worked big time.

I don't think she emulates Beyonce nearly as much as others say. some of her vocal runs and a few of the dance moves, maybe, but Beyonce does not own high energy or good vocals.  She gave something dark and sexy and intense and not once broke character, it wasn't Beyonce's hairography and stomping into a smile.

This performance was huge for her- she proved that she herself is the talent, not her set designers nor her costumer nor her choreographer. Her energy won.

I rewatched and no this was not it I’m sorry. 

Why y’all gagging for this? 

My husband and I watched this after seeing all the other ones and were genuinely floored by the performance. Was the set a little tacky? Of course. But to have her commit this evil role and completely murder the song with her vocals really sold me on this. Not to mention the nod to Beyoncé’s army dance vibe. Let’s just support up and coming solo artists ❤️

I’m absolutely shook. Her vocals were incredible and stable but can we also talk about that live instrument arrangement?? So much energy everywhere in this performance! 

[Roughhouse Dandy 11,736]

This woman is being exquisitely trained. The talent is off the charts. The potential is substantial. Her and her sister both have been letting us know they plan to keep leveling up until they build a legacy. 

Lord Have Mercy 

[ANTI WP 19,825]

The performance is INCREDIBLE 

But the twerking part felt very forced and it's not for her

This is one of her DEBUT SOLO performances, she didn't use tons of bells and whistles and served vocals and consistent strong choreo and energy. I'm not sure what else you are looking for. 

[Bling 31,483]

Her performance was the only one that left me GAGGING for more! Her solo stuff is new and she is MUCH more of a performer than some of the main pop girls and artists who have been around a while. 

I was very impressed and am looking forward to more, she outperformed Normani imo 

[Patriziaa Reggiani 7,647]

It was so similar to BEYONCE's style it almost felt like a immitation/parody performance, I loved her vocally but all that agressive dance energy was really not suiting her! The song and the video still remains superior though!

Stream Mercy by Chloe everyone.

I said it felt that aggressive dance energy was giving trying to be Beyonce, it's an opinion, I'm not trashing her, I'm just saying what I felt. And she has given plenty of performances before, you can see her "Feeling good" performance she wasn't doing that.

[PartySick 161,533]

Not a fan of the "look at my ass " thing being like half of the performance but her vocals are fire 

We love a singer

Let's just hope her next performance is more artsy and less fartsy

But LOOK at her ass  if I had her body I would do the same as a reg person not a popstar 

Also the song is literally about booty so what do you expect lol
