Stevie on Australian TV The X Factor

[jellyman10]

^^^ Yeah, maybe a bunch of minor things were off and added up to one big bad thing.

[AWomanWithAPast]

The YouTube audio quality isn't great, but even so I didn't think her performance was all that terrible. Maybe she was nervous, but it wasn't anything THAT bad. Someone above said that maybe the people making the negative comments weren't used to the hand motions, and I think that might be part of it. I mean, I was weirded out by the hand motions at first too, but... they kind of grew on me in a "Stevie being Stevie" kind of a way, and now I sort of love them.

[Josh2003]

It doesn't sound that bad to me at all...she just kinda sounds like she's shouting the whole thing, for some reason.

[mikephxaz]

It would have helped if she would have song one single note in tune...ouch! that was painful!

[wheart]

Bleh! Secret Love IMO does not translate very well to stage. There are far better songs she could have done plus it was the first single. Why perform it now? Weird.

[justcrazylove]

Her performance was hideous, Secret Love is a studio track through and through and should not really be performed live. The embarrassing thing for us Aussies is that the general public have next to no exposure to Stevie and this is the **** she dishes up on a national platform. Furthermore reinforcing the stereotypes held by the demographic that watch programs like the 'xFactor', that old artist are past it and aren't worth paying attention to.
I'm looking forward to her gig's but the audience who already have tickets don't need to be convinced that she is amazing, it's the populous that i will now have to defend myself against.

[justcrazylove]

Oh and furthermore the meatloaf references of Twitter, is as about as high an insult an artist could have in this country right about now!

[OooMissionary]

I think the biggest problem with this song is the direct audio tv sound.... The mix never sounds right on tv... You can hardly hear the drums, synths or back-up vocals... and Stevie's vocals are about 10x louder than everything else.

That's presuming they look outside stevie songs though, which wouldn't be much of a 'tribute to stevie'. Otherwise maybe a bit of a medley? They've done a couple of those earlier in the season I think...

so it was Tell Me Lies, Don't Stop and Go Your Own Way ?!?!? - interesting tribute to SN who was there

Stevie looks like she always does. i didn't think for one second she was drunk ... or stoned. bah! who cares. she is pretty that's all that matters.

Meatloaf was here recently and even his fans were saying terrible things about how bad he was! Australians can be very cruel and so I feel sad for Stevie and wish she had sung Moonlight. I think she could of sung this song with more confidence and it would of gone over much better with the younger X Factor audience, imho! Her advisors really should of done their homework more thoroughly, considering her reputation was riding on this one performance!

[jkmaletic]

Hate to say it but that was bad.

She was yelling and enunciating each syllable separately, like she was reading to a two yr old. Why does she do that sometimes?? Sucks that it was so bad when she's so good! Aggravating.

[Morgana]

Is there an accent in her voice?

[RockAlot]

Wow, not sure I even wat to take a listen now ! Too bad, I agree that the song choice here is not the best choice, hopefully somebody in Stevie camp see's this and take's heed?

I loved the tribute....and all the people sound wicked good...but you think they'd do at least ONE Stevie song either solo or from Mac...since she was there lol

[Enchanted_Stevi]

Here's a good quality video of Stevie performing...I actually think it was good =)
