One of the few times I disagree with Big Don.

I watched the performance on Youtube

There are a few live vocals that are decent, especially considering she has been inactive in music for years and pregnant. I don't blame her for lipsyncing half of it because of the wind

The songs got reworks that make them really good. The orchestral remix for Diamonds is very epic sounding. The rework for We Found Love is good too considering it is hard to beat the original Calvin Harris production

Watch the end of the performance, it takes guts to do that. Standing on a platform suspended only by wires as a 130-140 lbs pregnant woman is no joke. The platform visually wobbles a lot, most of us would have been seriously scared

Yes, the backup dancers, costumes, and choreo are lame. But if a washed up rock band had performed instead, it would have been just as lame. I do not know what they were going for with the costumes and visuals. The only cute part was when she shouted out her brand by putting on a little makeup during a segue

Some of these songs near the end of the set are rightfully part of the American songbook, so very fitting for a large event. I wish she had chosen all hits as some of the early and mid set songs were lesser known duds.

Feel free to debate symbolism or what not all you want, in fact, I look forward to it. However, the performance was much better than Beyonce's was and the actual performance had no BLM, lgbt, or anti police elements at all which I say is really worthy of respect. I am not sure if she said or did anything before the performance, but if she did, Apple and Youtube decided to cut it out
