I'm not understanding people saying this was boring.
Yes, it's a mid tempo track and not a ballad, but the different arrangement calls for a different performing style. And it's not as though she was lacking in charisma, she never is.
Now if you've always disliked the song, then it's no surprise that you won't be moved by the performance. But if you're expecting her to perform slower songs in the same manner that she performs upbeat, dancey tracks then you must not be as familiar with Bey as you claim to be.
