"The Lost Art Of" must be a long series now, please. It would be a *Classic*

[disaniwaterbottle]

Honestly, the new magic wand performance that Tyler, the creator did at the 2020 Grammys is probably my favorite performance I’ve ever seen. I feel like that the performance really captured the way the song sounded. It really captured how eerie the song actually is. Like how the song is literally about killing his crushes girlfriend. Like the performance really shows what the song sounded like, like it looked how the song sounded.

Michael Jackson just standing there with people passing out will always make me laugh 💀💀 another classic video!

[VinVonVoom]

Michael Jackson is honestly as good as you can get when it comes to a live performer, he just hits every beat perfectly. It's to the point where I still watch performances of his almost daily.

[Porcelynnn]

I’ve seen Ari and Taylor live and while Ari has the vocals, Taylor had the ability to make a stadium feel soooo intimate. You can tell Taylor really loves performing and her fans. I would have loved to have attended the RED & 1989 tour!

Beyoncé learned from the greatest live artists when they still were in their primes, studied them and practiced ALOT to get where she is now. That’s one of the reasons beside many imo why the new generation is lacking in this category. They haven’t enough role models.

[interneeeet]

It’s kinda refreshing to see Taylor and Tyler getting the recognition they deserve for their performances

[theonlyrocha]

Seeing Beyonce live was life changing.
I spent like 10 years watching her in DVDs and when I saw that 5'7 woman come up on stage with fireworks, that bass on the speakers was like 🤯. As a performer myself, I never even thought that a human being could be that agressive and relatable at the same time. The vocals, the tenderness and you can see the effort she puts in every detail. That was the best day of my life.

I saw Rina Sawayama live and it was just amazing. She could’ve just sung, her music is amazing, she has amazing vocals and a lot of charisma. But she was dancing, changing fits and still belting like an alien. I loved her a lot, but now I love her even more.

[horsegirlheresy]

Never really liked Taylor Swift’s music but I saw her with some friends when I was like 12 and the sheer amount of costume and set changes she had when she was performing songs from different albums was amazing… gave each song a whole new vibe it was fantastic

[MadisynBrown]

you really did it with this one!! i saw tame impala live and i’m still searching for that feeling.

[inthestarlights]

as someone who grew up with britney it's great to see this generation have got doja, she's an amazing dancer/performer and honestly what the pop music industry has been missing for a while now

[asia_may]

Beyoncé lol, and I know everybody says that but there’s a reason. You cannot take your eyes off her even if someone is performing with her, her energy is absolutely insane to feel even from super far away.

[suzanelzawahry]

Taylor Swift doesn’t just work the crowd, she makes it feel like a personal interaction. Everyone is given a bracelet that lights up/changes with the music. It makes you feel like youre part of the music but also makes people sitting in the way back feel seen. At the 1989 tour one of her bits was to bring down this huge hanging mic, get the crowd to sing, live mix the recording into a beat, and then perform with it.

[dragonballsuper]

The reason Michael Jackson's epic performance at Motown 25 is so special is because he did a wholesome Jackson 5 medley with his brothers first and then followed it with an aggressive Billie Jean performance in a room filled with LEGENDS and a TV audience of 50 million people, who still saw him as the adorable ABC kid. That night MJ destroyed that perception and said the crown is mine, FOREVER.

[C.Quince]

Bruno Mars is excellent live! He and his band dancing and singing with simple lights and pyrotechnics shouldn’t be so charming for how retro it is, but it works because they sell it well. You get wrapped up in the vibe whether you’re 8 years old or 70 years old, and that’s what he’s all about as a student of popular music

[immarycatherine]

an underrated live performer is p!nk, she literally does cirque du soleil (had to google how to spell that) type shit while preforming. she's such a 00's icon, i wish i could see her live

[RoomieOfficial]

Amazing video. Would love to see a straight up ranking of the specific taped live performances you like the best so I could check em out. Keep making great videos my dude!!

[MissSighRa]

Rina Sawayama is an amazing performer, saw her when she only had her EP and a few singles out and she already had costume changes and backup dancers with full choreography. She made these tiny venues feel like a stadium with her presence. Now that her debut album is out and her growing fan base lets her play larger venues, I’m 100% sure she’ll deliver on giving a great performance. Definitely a legend in the making.

Nothing tops Beychella.
That live album is sick, and that Netflix special is sick too. The reimagining of classic songs in a new HBCU way is 2nd to none
