Incredibly executed and perfectly performed. It's clear she put more hard work into this than anyone ever has for a VMA performance and for that alone it should be seen as the best in VMA history. I understand people saying it's boring, especially anyone under 20 years old. Things move much faster in music today and kids attention spans are getting much shorter. If her performance was a medley of dance-pop songs, then no one would be saying it was boring, even if it was very badly executed. As Beyoncé says, "Radio say speed it up, I just go slower". She will continue to make the music she loves and those who understand the vision will appreciate it, no matter the time they grew up in.
It was amazing
