    I too came here because of some of the negativity about her performance. I think she did an awesome job of projecting real soul and feeling into this performance. Her voice is unique, and it added both a sweet and yet haunting feeling to the performance. It was artistically stellar in my view. Bravo Macy Gray!

    For anyone who is saying mean things about her they must be too young to remember her...or wasnt born in her era of music. Look, this is typically her. This is how she always sounded and looked. She has a very unique voice and style that is beautiful. Again, if you didn't listen to her in the late 90s, early 2000s (or wasn't born), you just don't get it. Doesn't give you the right to make fun of her because you don't get it!!!!!!
    With that being said, the performance was beautifully done ❤. And it's awesome to hear her sing again and see her!!!! I was (and still am) a Macy Gray fan!!!!
