PTM looks like one of those white terrorists that would shoot up a mall. He looks like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite.

I was looking forward to hearing the Christina performance because of the material and because I haven't heard her perform on a big stage in years. In her defence, anyone performing a Whitney Houston, let alone a medley from the iconic 'Bodyguard', is already at a disadvantage trying to deliver hits from possibly the best female mainstream vocalist of time. Christina started out decently, sticking to her lower register but her mid-range was tonally throaty and lacked soul, replaced with token runs without depth. As the medley progressed, she sounded throatier and the songs exposed her ever-receding range which contained yelling, talk/singing, unnecessary adlibs, reminiscent of Whitney during her vocal decline.

These children in this Janelle Monae commercial sound better than the American Idol auditions.

Jesus, Stay?! Wolves has been the only recent song performed so far. (Oop, forgot the Hailee and company song.)
Regardless, I love this song and Alessia is slaying. This acoustic performance is also really cool.

Why is everyone singing ancient singles? Because the kids love to stream ancient music?

Yeah, this mashup is horrid.
"Radioactive" and "m.A.A.d. city" was iconic.

I can't help you we're clearly watching a different performance! For real, though, they looked like they were having so much fun up there, it was adorable.
