Kudos to Mimi for performing her latest single and not abandoning it because it's underperformed. Why should she perform what "the people want"? Yes, she'd had a career where it seemed like she catered to fans, the charts, whatever, more than other acts, but there's nothing wrong with her performing what SHE wants to. I'd love a performance of "Say Somethin', but I doubt that will ever happen, unless Snoop Dogg is at one of her shows or something. Knowing her, though, she'd do "Crybaby" instead.

If her fans clearly don't like the song, why should she force them to endure it?

But some fans DO like the song, or at least do not hate it with the passion that some do. There will be non-fans watching the telecast, so they will make up their minds when they see it performed.
The charts don't always tell the story, too.

Wow, that was a really bad performance. Was she going into head voice on some of those high notes that were supposed to belted? Holy cow, I don't think I've ever heard her do that. She should've just lipped the entire thing. FLAT throughout. And nobody clapped. LOL.
I hate it for her, because I love her, and this song has grown on me. Oh well, her label better whip her into shape for the album and have at least ONE hit on there!!

That performance on the NFL Kickoff was laughable. Seriously, what is her deal? She wasn't even physically on stage for more than half the song and when she finally made her entrance it appeared like she was simply going through the motions.

That entrance was hilarious to me for some reason, lol. The whistles were nice, but the rest just seemed kinda blah. Was it just me or did she sound really hoarse when she shouted-out Meek and Rozay at the end?

Cool setting, good spots, but this was a funny/awkward performance. It seemed like it was part of a movie lol. You're right about the shout outs musicalsoul.

That performance was so awkward. She had a video do all her work for half the song. I'm starting to wonder if she's losing some of her drive and interest in her career. Everything that's happened in the past couple of months makes it look like she doesn't give a shit. Anyway, she looked good.

She's already slowing down. 3.5 years between regular studio albums is unheard of from her.

Now, now, she was on stage for almost 3 minutes. Was that lost footage of the alternate video for the track? Mimi, mouthing the words to the rap sections- almost as common as the reclining, which we didn't get this time out.

The power of Mimi cuz she even makes JD look cute in it. Maybe I better watch the performance again, but it' doesn't look like an i'm done with my career" turn lol. Random, but she has the prettiest dark brown eyes i've ever seen! :o

She looked hot. Sexy, classy, Idol-primed. The performance seemed like an improvised disaster, but she didn't seem to care, and I doubt much will be said about it regardless. She needs another managment/team intervention again -- or at least someone who isn't afraid to tell her how something like this would be perceived while still reminding her of how insanely capable she is.

I didn't think her performance was good or bad. It was just...middling. Average. She's definitely sounded better, though - her live vocals were pretty rough in spots. At least she looked hot!
