I totally agree but as we know it's not something new (overhype). I kinda felt that this performance was overhyped in many ways. It obviously wasn't bad, she looked fine (except this IMO horrendous hair do), her vocals were okay/good but that's about it. I am not trying to be negative or anything, it was fine, it would have been a good performance if she was simply promoting the single but for a last appearance it felt kinda underwhelming. I can't say I was "disappointed" about the location since I was pretty sure it was only big hype about nothing but I expected more from the performance itself... I must agree with maxikot when it comes to how vocals were with less support of music... Maybe she should have chosen another song, used the stage more etc.. The performance was fine but that's sadly it... Sadly because although I didn't expect any special or outstanding venue, I hoped for Namie to "go with a bang" or at least with a memorable performance but on the other hand, what did I expect as it was Namie performing on a TV show...God, this post sounds much more negative then it is supposed to be...
