Q: When you were at the 8th annual shorty awards and that nico guy performed what was going through your head?
A: well, here's the thing- they did their hit song "am i wrong" which i think is a wonderful song, and i've had a strong attachment to that song ever since i first heard it on the radio. but here's the problem (there's actually 2 problems) the first problem was their live performance had no live elements at all. it was the studio recording with the lead vocal muted. there was absolutely no live feel to it, and the studio vocals were a bit better, because it had better editing. so we were basically hearing the exact original recording, except with slightly worse vocals. the other problem was, unfortunately, the song did not go over well with the audience. they did their best to energize the crowd by shouting things like "shorty awards" and "put your hands up" etc etc, but it just wasn't working. again, i absolutely love the song and i love the recording, so this is not a complaint about the artist or the song, this is just my analysis of the situation
