Tate McRae - A Masterclass in what a VMA performance should be.

Wasn't I just listening to you boys bitching about JLo performing in her underwear?

But it's OK for this girl?

Where did they find all the 5'2" male dancers?

That was a whole lotta kitty litter.

Yes R1. This girl is not a grown ass woman old enough to be a grandma and hasn’t been naked for the last two decades. It’s time for JLo to put on some clothes.

And yes I would say the same thing if Chris Martin or Adam Levine came on stage half naked too. Sex appeal through nudity is a young person’s game and shows a lack a maturity.

There was a blind item that she is Brad Pitt’s new gf.

All she did was walk around the stage with a few shakes here and there.

This girl. She has an unremarkable voice and face, can’t dance much either, yet she nailed it somehow fame wise. Now the best songwriters and producers out there line up to work with her.

Just another anonymous looking female who sings/chirps like she has a mouth full of novocaine. Her thing seems to be spreading her legs as wide as possible as often as possible, which just looks awkward.

The song is horrendous

Thanks OP - that was amazing. Pulling off a visually arresting live broadcast performance is indeed a difficult thing to achieve. Most Super Bowl halftime shows fall into the Opening Ceremony trap of being far too vast and it just becomes a widely shot mess. This used the camera as successfully as the dancers - it unfolded visually like something shot single canera and edited. The concept was arresting and it kept progressing and topping what had just happened before - static to kinetic to sand to girls to fire And the whole thing was designed and staged to be more impressive as shot and broadcast than watched in person in the venue - elaborate stage shows usually look diminished when broadcast. This really was a masterclass up there with M's Vogue performance - they took very different approaches but both nailed the "holy shit this is live" factor spectacularly.

Is everyone oohing and ahhhing over this just because she's flexible? Or am I missing something else...?

She always sounds like a baby having GI distress.

I missed the song. There is a song in that Las Vegas HS of Performing Arts senior project?

There doesn't seem to be much of a song there..or singing for that matter. But that can be said about all music nowadays.

For what it's worth, I do think Sabrina Carpenter is the most likeable of all these female pop stars out now even if I don't care for her music. She seems like a nice person in real life.

Her name sounds like something on a fast food menu.

Tate McRae’s career is 100% AI generated slop. She’s a complete non entity.

Sports Car is super derivative - it sounds like so many slinky cut. But I can't name the one particular cut it is closest to. Anyone?

The choreography and the staging is amazing as R11 mentions and what I am referring to. It’s hard to come up with moves we haven’t seen a million times in this post Beyoncé landscape, but this performance does it. The male dancers look every bit the Grecian statues the are cast to represent and move both with sensuality and strength. Minute 2-2:40 is spectacular and that cartwheel on steroids the dancer does at 2:30 is a “wait, what?!?” moment. And for anyone stating she just moves around a bit, she was a competitive dancer who even beat out the Dance Mom’s girls - and her lift starting at 1:05 is like nothing I’ve ever seen. It really is spectacular and thanks for getting it r11. You don’t have to love it. And like I said, I’m not a huge fan of the song itself. But to say “it wasn’t much” is a bit disingenuous.

"Masterclass"? She dances like she's got the devil in her. And she sounds like a baby with a cold.

R19 Its a rip off ("interpolation") of Pussycat Dolls' Buttons

She tyoically does just “move around a bit” because usually she’s wearing 10 inch hooker heels.

R21 = Mayor Dooley, Town of Bomont.

R1 I think you meant Sports Car which has been mixed with Buttons, but yeah she could not even manage her baby doll singing voice live. She performed on SNL earlier this year had no idea who she was. Being touted as the next Britney. I will say she is flexible.

Tate McRae and the Case of the Missing Broach

She really knows how to spread her legs.

She just broke up with The Kid Laroi, an indigenous Australian performer.

NO! Not the kid!

WELL then. If he's INDIGENOUS, then it makes the breakup more devastating!!!!

At most she's a background singer.
