Much Music Video Awards - Live performance reviews


Well, since the MMVAs took place yesterday, it is time to do a performance review of just 5 acts( cos I don't want to do too many)

1. Imagine Dragons - Demons/Radioactive
Imagine Dragons performed their hit Demons along with Radioactive. Their vocals were not much, but their stage presence was good - their members were pounding drums with massive streams of pyro dancing and rocketing through the air. Their performance was forgettable, but was saved by their great stage presence

Stage presence: A-
Vocals: B-
Overall: B

2. Lorde - Team/Tennis court
Creepy performance. Her outfit was weird, but the way she mashed both songs together was pure genious. Her stage presence, although not the kind you'd expect from normal singing sensations, was much better than her previous performances, where she concluded by collapsing while gripping a lamp. Her vocals were mostly spot on though, so I'd give her credit for that.

Stage presence: A-
Vocals: A-
Overall: A-

3. Ariana Grande : Problem
She slays on most performances, including this one. This pint-sized nickelodeon-product of a singer blasted her way on stage with killer vocals, although she did not seem well, as she falter through some notes. Her belting sounded a bit strained but nonetheless still spot on. She could have done much better though I do like the way she cut in for the rapping part when she sang along to Iggy's track. Good job and keep it up!

Stage presence: A-
Vocals: A-
Overall: A-

4. Ed Sheeran: Sing
Definitely one of the performances with the most simplicity. Despite this, his stage presence is still decent and combined with his vocals, makes quite a performance.

Stage presence: B+
Vocals: A-
Overall: A-

5. Kiesza : Hideaway
Um... I guess with that hairstyle and yellow taxi thingy its sure bound to catch some attention. But what distracted me most from the vocals was the hideous shoes she was wearing. Forget the vocals, the stage presence was a little bit disastrous.

Stage presence: B-
Vocals: B+
Overall: B
