I don't think it was as bad as everybody thinks. I do think there were too much people on the stage; a lot things happening at the same time it was difficult to focus on her, but I got the message of empowerment, which btw, she's been all about empowerment and celebrating diversity since her early career, I truly hate the Lady Gaga comparison :S
I do think it would've work better if it was the Lotus intro and only Army of Me, or even "Best of Me" in the beginning and finish off with "Army of Me", because "Let There Be Love" didn't fit the theme at all. But it was great in my opinion, still, her "worst" as many said, is MILES better than the other girls doing their "best".
I love her body, but for me this performance had a big issue that I've also noticed in some other recent ones: if she wants to continue performing uptempo songs, she gotta exercise more, because she barely moved during the performance and she still sounded out of breath during most of it.
I didn't hate it but when it finished I just felt unsatisfied. Despite what anyone else says or all the egotistical things she herself says, I think her ego has taken a huge hit the past few years and she just isn't as confident on stage/with her voice anymore.
Damn. Christina gets so much attention because she sings live...I mean yes there where moments of strain but since when Do the kids care about vocal talent on atrl? Christina's performance delivered energy and live vocals.. The other pop girls that night had 98% back track support.
One of the better performances of the night.
She definitely wasn't singing live during the Lotus Intro.

LTBL was such a mess, she's not even singing, and all of the messages and the dancers are so tacky and campy. Not her turning a sex song into a anti-bullying message.
But Lotus Intro and Army Of Me.
Some of you acting like is the worst performance ever or something like that.
Her worse is better than some popstars best, deal with it.
