Lots of flashing lights with garbage music. If I wanted that I could just go to a rave.

When someone says "best live performance", bands like Tool and Pink Floyd come to mind.

No live band? There's no way a flashy karaoke song can qualify as "one of the best live performances ever."

she's singing live, not lip syncing, no autotune like most people these days and she sounds great.

madonna, who she's often compared to, can't even hit her notes when performing live.

Wow she sounds horrible without all the studio help. Of course she still sounds horrible with the studio help too.

I wouldn't say that's a good performance at all.

Doesn't sound nearly the same as her song. To me, that's shit (even if she's still talented).

Seems to be one hell of an acoustic environment. (or perhaps they had direct feeds and it was professionally mixed, possibly with canned cheering)

But no. Best performance by a lead singer I've seen was by Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf. A little firecracker totally singing her heart out.

Best musical performance was by Sheryl Crow. She was touring with John Mayer, but Mayer had to pull out of the performance I had tickets to due to a sudden onset of laryngitis. (Quite the serendipitous occurrence, as I didn't want to see him anyway.) Most people turned back at the gate, but boy did they miss out. Sheryl put on a marathon performance. No warm-up acts, no intermission, just hours of her singing.
She's one of the few pop artists with the discography to pull it off.

While I love Tool, they do not offer a 'best live performance' unless you're a major hardcore fan who hasn't seen many other bands.

The first concert of theirs that I went to was a small venue that held about 3500 people. I can literally say that it was amongst the top performances I've ever seen in my life. This was before they got big though, just as Undertow came out. I have seen them 3 times so far in concert, and the subsequent shows were excellent but didn't have the raw power of the first show in a small venue.

Lady Gaga went to art school. That means she can wear her underwear on the outside and no one says anything.

I've seen at least 20 performances from actual bands that were way better than the OP's link. Hell, the local blues band downtown has better performances.

Sigur Rós was one of the best concerts I saw. Great music, and stunning visual effects created with only a white curtain, and plain white stage lighting.

That was shit. I've heard her sing better than that to her credit. Hard to sing live when you have to do a 100 mile marathon with all that theatrical bling crap.

It's pretty easy to have a good live performance when you don't have to sing or play an instrument.

Their performance now is nothing like 10+ years ago. It's like watching a 3D movie.
