Lorde at the Grammy's

Last Sunday I watched the Grammy’s, where there were a couple of unique performances that I think need to be covered, the most important being Lorde’s performance for Royals. Don’t get me wrong I love Lorde and both the songs that I know, one being Royals, but she doesn’t have much of a stage presence. 

Lorde has a great voice for only being sixteen years old, but if she is going to perform at the Grammys, which is one of the biggest awards shows, she needs to learn how to make a good appearance on stage. She did this twitching motion while she was singing which was super weird, it was kind of hard to tell what she was doing, if she was trying to do anything at all, but either way it was just plain weird. I don’t if that is “the thing” in New Zealand, which is where the singer is originally from, but here I just think it was really peculiar. I overheard many people talking about her performance and everyone is saying the same thing, Lorde is “different”.

There were many aspects of Lorde’s performance that I didn’t like, including her outfit and hair that she wore on stage Sunday night at the Grammys. Lorde’s outfit wasn’t the major problem, it was her hair, which was just down, but didn’t look very good because it was frizzy and not well kept. I think that if you are lucky enough to be able to perform at the Grammys, you should at least make an attempt to look nice in front of the entire world. I mean her hair looks fine, almost good, on the cover of her album, so I don’t know why it looked so bad at the Grammys. 

The other thing I think that Lorde should change is her style of makeup. Right now the makeup is doing nothing but making her look worse. The makeup made her look like she was way older than she is. I’m just saying that if you aren’t going to be sixteen forever so she might want to change her style of makeup. She is sixteen and has one of the best songs of the year, plus now she has a Grammy, so she might want to show off that she has a Grammy and is only sixteen years old.

Overall I like Lorde and her music for the most part, but she needs to entertain her audience more while performing, which can make her a better singer and entertainer in the long run.
