Oof that performance. The positive was I liked the new arrangement of Ourselves.
Negative is obviously the vocals. They have not really improved since CDL. She really isn't going to have much of a voice left after this tour.
I also thought the emoting in this was over the top (I know she does this a lot), but now it feels more like it's done in order to cover up and to try to distract from and pull people's attention away from the vocals.

Yeah, that was unfortunate timing. X gave an awesome performance and just highlighted a vocalist who is much older, but nailed very tough to sing songs 30 years later.

Yeah, I agree. Aside from the performance aspects that were bad here, the interview and her interactions with Yoshiki were ..... odd. I mean, she has always been a bit of an oddball in the interview portions, but she seemed kind of dazed or something there. I don't know.

Sorry to say it but, she has been around long enough and should be professional enough to know the difference. Like I said, I really feel that she DOES know the difference, but does it intentionally to distract from the vocal parts that she knows she is going to struggle with.
So in some ways she is playing it smart I guess? To an extent at least. It's not smart when you end up getting panned for two things instead of one: the vocals and the overacting.
