DRAKE:
If I’m being completely honest, I think this performance isn’t your best, but it definitely isn’t your worst performances either. I think the major thing that dragged you down in those backing singers drowning you out during some sections of the song, and also you just being too relaxed for this song. Like I wish you just stepped up the energy level a little bit to show that this song really means something to you since it is your song, and just show that this song is just as powerful as your voice when you sing it. It’s good performance no doubt, but it’s these little things when I judge that I have to take an account, especially since we’re at the final 5 and there’s 5 really good artists still in the running to take this win from you. So I’m sorry if I’m sounding really nitpicky right now but it’s the nitpicks that count so I hope you stay out of the bottom but I won’t be surprised if you land it in this episode, since I like this performance it just needs a little more.
