    Fucking LEGEND. Im glad the young generation get a sight of what real talent is.

      Right. Learning what real music is. I hate rap and my biggest argument against it has been that unlike this and rock, it requires no real talent. The lyrics of rap aren't even deep. No one cares how many cars they have or how much money or how many women they've slept with which they treat like objects. No one cares about their fueds and about who they want to kill. Ok so go back to your hood and do that to each other. No one wants to hear about it. Same thing with new music in general. It's just awful.

    I remember watching this live many yrs ago. I was like, oooo Annie, I have not heard from her in a long time. I was half heartedly paying attn until after she sang a few verses, realized I needed to watch. And she sang and put on this beautiful performance as if she were in the prime of her life. It’s not often our childhood idols come out 20+ yrs later and their NEW music and talent can blow me away…mic drop moment. She fully commanded the stage here. Incredible performance.
    Annie, it’s 2023, plz blow me away again when you receive your lifetime achievement award. ❤
    Melanie 😘
    You’re beautiful
