Kelly did okay on the performance. I wouldn't call it spectacular like a mid-1980s Whitney Houston performance. It was okay. Sometimes I feel like I am living in a different era when I read comments from people in relation to some of today's performers and call it the best thing they have ever seen. Generally speaking, performances by today's standards are just mediocre to okay. Nothing special or with the 'WOW' factor. I do think Kelly's team is paying these blogs to speak constantly about her. Hell, it's no different than any other celebrity team. It's call publicity and Kelly is trying to cement her status as a viable and profitable solo star on Universal Motown. She know there is no room for mistakes this time and cannot blame anyone if her solo album tanks. Good luck Kelly! :)
