one of my favourite things I saw last year was Jazmine Sullivan at the Soul Train Awards. Obviously nobody is doing live shows with crowds and bands so I loved her approach to this - basically, do the two singles as a medley performance and make it into a story. I was very hungover the morning I watched this on catch-up and found it more powerful than I probably should have.
I love her voice. She has this incredible quality where she can do all the vocal runs and hit the big notes but also sound like she's lived inside the experience and the song. She just really understands how to
perform. I'm not wild about when r&b singers do performances with full bands and try to pretend they're Stevie Wonder/Prince (I saw Miguel do this live and it was awful, replaced all the woozy textural gauze of his music with funk bass and live drums, absolutely missing the point) but on a technical level the bit where she matches the solo here is really incredible.
