There's no way of getting around it so I might as well just get it out there - was a bit a mess. I'm not shocked as this song was never going to translate well live so it was just watching it all unfold into a horrid reality.

The 'Fashionably Late' thing was actually really, really cute I felt and I will give credit to. The video idea running with it was a bit cheap looking though - I agree with others saying this kind of lowbrow quality would never have made it through a few years back. I found it insanely funny wondering if the crowd was wondering "WTF is she?" for most of the song and if they were just going to watch a video of her instead. The Meek and Ross parts seemed to drag on forever as I kept thinking JUST GET OUT ON STAGE FOR YOUR SONG MARIAH!! lol The audio mixing was definitely shot. I actually wondered if Mariahs mic was off for a while on her arrival and the backing singers were wailing so powerfully that I was wondering what the hell was going on. Mariah was hoarse but I've heard worse and she looked nice in the gold, workin' those flowey things on her wrists.

Like the song itself, this is one performance that I'll be forgetting.
