The transparency in some of y'all is sickening.
If you're going to insult Bey, insult her for being off-key, scratchy etc..which she was NOT.
Because she did a respectful version of a traditional song with minimal vocal embellishments y'all are calling it 'bland', 'mechanical'? Your playback reliant faves could not have TOUCHED that.
lol at Bey stans being against oversinging for today.
This performance proved to me Beyonce needs her oversinging. Without it, her voice is not memorable. She looked and sounded great but Kelly did a little better. Surprisingly, Kelly's performance outshone Bey's. I wasnt expecting that. Just compare Kelly's first verse to Bey's. Kelly brought emotion into it. Bey's first verse was dull & even on the high notes where she usually shines, Kelly did better.
