That's what kills me. Not only is the production generic (and not in a good way), but the vocals are a catastrophe; an absolute abortion. Why were The Chainsmokers allowed to lip-sync "Closer" at the VMAs with no backlash, while Britney Spears was stoned? I didn't even know The Chainsmokers were lip-syncing during that performance because the vocals were so awful that I thought it had to be live singing. Sounded like a male goat getting its throat run over by a train.
In conclusion, "Closer" truly is awful, in every incarnation, "live" performance or otherwise.

It's because of sexism in the industry
The fact that these mediocre male DJs are rewarded
