Give her one of those rolling shopping carts, throw her at a bus stop, and she looks and sounds like any New York crazy you can encounter at any given moment, of any given day. She looks and sounds terrible whilst bypassing the unwritten rule that all legendary performers should abide by: There comes a time when you need to STOP performing, if for no better reason than you can no longer do it. This is just painful.
Saw it earlier but couldn't bring myself to post a review here. ReeRee's performance was unfortunate and poor Cissi Houston didn't appear to be fully engaged.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
Cissy pulled focus in a very sad way. I have no idea what she was mouthing, but it was very obvious it wasn't what the other background vocalists were singing.
Hey Dottie!
Did your colleagues enjoy the cake even though your cat decided to sit on it? ~GuyfromGermany
Someone needs to turn on the air in there- Frosti The Snow-women is melting!!! This is just foul- I mean the outfit is horrible with those arms looking like bags of tapioca pudding. Cissy looks both pissed and lost at the same time.
While I don't think it was the unmitigated disaster most of you do, it was rather unfortunate. Especially considering a far better vocal for that song was just out a couple of years ago from the original artist. Things were probably best when the full band was playing to somewhat mask that vocal. And I agree with Namo, it doesn't sound far off from the recording, which is dreadful. The autotune in that recording is just so nakedly obvious and the arrangement and production so generic and lifeless.
At this stage of her career, if she must continue releasing studio albums, I think she'd be smart to stick with new or rarely recorded material. Otherwise, it's inevitable that her rather strangled present-day vocals will be compared to the original recordings of these covers.

First of all she should get her money back from Tent City for that dress, get a body iron for all of that underarm mess and some cocoa butter for the titty stretch marks. One of the WORST musical perfomances on Letterman ever!
