Emiko, I think you're being generous lol. All she did was dance and play an organ. Which would have been fine if there was something to look at. There was nothing visual about the performance, it was dark, you could barely see her and she may have "danced well" but the choreography was ridiculous. The whole thing just seemed like an after thought and I know she can put more thought and creativity into a performance, even a toned down performance. If the song is suppose to be an anthem, make it look like it's suppose to be an anthem.

If it were me, I would have had a choir, some color, a better dance routine, better transitions, some damn lights etc. Really bring the song out, even with minor additions, it could have been better. And it's really not the dull performance that gets to me, it's they hype around the song itself and you can't even deliver a performance worthy of the "anthem of our generation." (her words btw)

Maybe I'm harsh, maybe I'm wrong but all I know is I didn't like it one bit because I know she can do better. I don't necessarily think "she sucked" or anything like that.
