Within this performance, there are multiple performance issues like timing, tuning and intonation. With the track being pre-recorded, it is NOT the music that has created these issues, but her own performance. From the beginning of the performance, it sounds as if she cannot reach the deeper parts of her vocal parts and is almost forcing it out instead of 'performing' it.
Intonation – Flat at 1:54 and 3:12
Tempo (Out of breath 4:05)
Voice is very quiet at the beginning. 1:12
The song is out of tune all together. The original song is a few notes higher than what she is singing at.
The whole performance of this was flat when compared to the actual version released. When listening to both songs you can hear that the live performance is a few notes lower than the original. Another difference is she starts to improvise some vocals at 2:40, this is sung entirely differently to the original song. At 1:54 and 3:12 she sings some lyrics out of tune, this is possibly due to the performer not warming up properly or being ill during the performance.
To improve this live performance I would have made sure the performer was at their best. I would have made sure they have warmed up their vocals. I could also use pitchshifter on the vocals, this could have made the voice sound less flat and bump the notes the vocal is singing up to the correct pitch. However the improvisation might be unique and the audience might like it as it is original, I would have liked the song to to be sung how it was recorded as it shows professionalism and the performer is skilled enough to sing the song and make it sound similar to the recorded track. I would have also reduced the amount of dancing the vocalist does. This means the performer cannot become out of breath and can focus on singing and hitting the notes. It also means the performer and audience have a connection as the performer is focused 100% at singing to them rather than dancing around the stage in front of them which is the dancers' job.
