Already better.

I can't describe how bad that was. Even my wife who bought the tickets hated it.

Just weak song after weak song amped up like it was a festival but in a small venue. Veered between AC/DC and Oasis without being either.

Like listening to a pub band playing the local RSL.

It's a subjective theme. For instance I understand that sustained melismatic undulation (where a singer turns one syllable into twenty - synonymous with your Whitney Houstons and Mariah Careys) is supposed to showcase their amazing vocal range and be impressive on a technical level, I personally find it grating.
i leaned towards the live performances, think 4 of my 5 votes were live songs.

Anyone can sound good in a studio setting, if you really want to showcase your vocals it has to be live.

I went for a mix of live and studio recordings, only going live would've cut out far too much of the playlist.

I'm actually surprised some of the noms didn't use live versions. Florence is exceptionally stong and consistant live, and there's no shortage of good quality videos.
