      @kimberly6200 You and a very few seem to be apposed to her performance only because you don't grasp the concept and the energy nor the purpose or tone behind the performance. It was clear that the performance was to make a statement and I need all the focus on me when I make a statement... I dont need no dancers in my way, I don't need a extravagant set to distract anyone... all I need is me and my mic and my bars. You have to understand the the intent and once you do you'll understand how that was one of the best female rap performances ever in history. It's not just visual it's symbolic and inspirational. And the crowd went crazy from vms audience to the audience on social media all the way to the audience on the couch. Don't discredit a very legendary performance that you don't understand.

    Those songs didn't need theatrics. LTTISY is an intimate song about her that's why it was just her on stage. It was giving vulnerable and sensual, period. Not every performance needs backup dancers to distract from the artist. The snippet was delivered like the real MC that she is. And, yes it was a perfect contrast to her 50th Hip Hop anniversary performance, she's a versatile artist and performer. She did her thing!
    LTTISY is a B-side track, not a title track, that's why there's no MV. It's an album promo ahead of the release in 2 months.
    Also, Adele just stands and sings for hours without sets or dancers but people will pay big bucks to see her in love. Let's not box Nicki in as one type of performer please.

    • @crystaljones7279
      @crystaljones7279 Рік тому +19

      It's okay for people to be underwhelmed by just standing alone with a mic. It's not saying she isn't talented, but in comparison to her other performances this one fell flat. Even Mariah Carey has people carry her around the stage so she isn't just standing there. She could have given a bit more to make it more entertaining especially since it's a slower song. After watching several high energy performances this one broke that and was slower. So you would expect to see screen visuals, or plays on lighting, her moving around a bit more or having dancers to move for her. There were a lot of performers but most people tuned in for Nicki.
