Re: Saturday Night Live
The Weezy performance was not for me. I liked Carpenter's opener with Paul Simon.
If the NBC/Universal Music link is legit then the Domingo/Espresso series of sketches seem a lot more contrived.

Re: Saturday Night Live
the nothing compares 2 u performance was maybe somehow the worst of the bunch. miley has smoked away a lot of her voice, and what they did with the chorus was not good. lay off the cymbals, questlove.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I don’t think it was much different from the Prince version. The structure was a bit different from the Family version in that it had different instruments and such but overall it was quite faithful to the Prince/Family version.spike wrote:it was a rhythm thing i think, didn't flow like it should. i dunno, i'm not going to expose myself to it again to better recall.wease wrote:What do you mean what they did with the chorus?spike wrote:the nothing compares 2 u performance was maybe somehow the worst of the bunch. miley has smoked away a lot of her voice, and what they did with the chorus was not good. lay off the cymbals, questlove.
Not so much the Sinéad version.
And I totally agree with you re: Miley’s voice. Smoking has ruined it. I’ve never been a big fan anyway, but her voice is absolutely terrible now. She won’t even be able to sing in 20 more years.

Re: Saturday Night Live
Miley was serviceable, Brittany Howard sounded exceptional as always.
The singer I was most shocked by on the night was McCartney. He sounded really old and croaky, nothing like when I saw him live in 2023.
