Saying U Don't Have To Call is not a signature track is crazy.
he/him
He did great but I also thought the show felt somewhat disjointed. Camera angles, unimpressive staging, those ugly costumes, not ending it with a bang.

Watching the whole cameramen segment from 9:55-10:10 and seeing how the duo navigated that, I have even more respect for them making it all work without incident.
I have mixed feelings about the show. There were so many moments (almost every song...) where he sang a line or two, and then let the backing track do all the heavy lifting for an entire chorus. Love In this Club for instance should've popped off but it felt... underwhelming performed that way. He's got stage presence for days but the show kept me at a distance. Loved him on skates though.
I think the arrangements didn't help. And artists doing 12x 45 seconds of a song at the Super Bowl has to end. With the transitions that's like 2 vocal lines from each song and then it's already onto the next. Give us 5 tracks and do 2 minutes each so we can get into it a bit?

I had a alot of fun watching his peformance. The camerwork was a bit chaotic with all the moving parts and the way the performance ended was a bit random. BUT! He performed the fuck out of that stage, my man was sweating buckets within the first 5 minutes!
Setlist wise, looooooved that he did You Don't Have to Call (or at least some of it). Leading with Caught Up was so vegas coded but it worked. The rollerblading section was a real treat. I could have sworn they interpolated Petey Pablo's Freek-a-Leek into Yeah! or was I hearing things??? HER ate on the guitar, I was gagged by that.
Why do people keep inviting Alicia Keys to sing at things when she hasn't been good live in years?!

Because they had a hit together and she's still relevant and harmless.
This were my thoughts EXACTLY!
He's amazing, but it really gave me more appreciation about the attention to detail Beyonce gives with lighting and camera lighting.
Why are there so many wide angle shots when you want the artist to feel larger than life? Why isn't there different lighting to put the focus on him? I know that having so many dancers around him is supposed to make it feel "big", but it just looks messy and gets lost in it, in spite of being a very capable performer. It feels like the real USHER Bowl starts with Burn.

That cover is a curse.
Good Lord. I realise this was a contractual obligation/farewell package to Parlophone but did they have to make it this obvious?
I know it’s cheesy but I can’t help but adore A-Town Girl…
