Anyone who missed it, it is now on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sxg4gWa_F4

Am I the only one who was not impressed at all by this performance? Stevie added all of those runs into his part which, I get it, Stevie Wonder can do what Stevie Wonder wants but this was a group performance.... Not a Stevie performance. I felt no collaboration whatsoever. With all the vocal runs Stevie was doing, it was making the "harmonies" sound ridiculous. I feel like it would've been okay if not for Stevie trying to steal the performance away.

On a lighter note, Martina McBride... I love you and I think you are absolutely phenomenal for doing this.

If given the chance, she could've blown the audience away with that song... solo.

To all who has lost someone to cancer or know someone who is currently battling cancer (maybe it's you) my prayers and support go out to you. This is a rough mountain that has to be climbed and, if it's someone on the Martina boards, you know your fellow Martina fans will be here for you.

I was also not impressed. I thought it sounded just "thrown" together and not meshed with harmonies and such. They should have just done solo performances or something....

this is the performance of Wrong Baby Wrong.
Sheridan :)

Come on now
Everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to
That’s what we all do
But if you think you’ll never move on you’re wrong baby

I have to agree. Although I did think the song was moving, especially with the pictures in the background, the overall performance of the song could have been much better. Except for Martina of course!

I disagee that Stevie Wonder distracted from this being a group perfoprmance. As is often the norm, the senior ranking performer led and Martina stareted with her part of the chorus, etc, etc. Stevie responed with, "I need your love," and the others sang their part. I fail to understand how this was Stevie taking over.

I do agree that there was something missing with the sound. I looked at the WBW video as well on youtube and the acoustics were amiss. When the camera panned the audience it appeared that the setting was lacking for adequate acoustics. I can't say for certain, it appears that the sound would just bounce all over the place in that auditorium. I was listening to the links on my computer with my Bose headphones and it just did not sound right.

Yes, that was very disrespectful. Good taste would dictate a time and a place for these type of things. This was not a glam event. She came off as tacky for such a display of vanity. So many associate cancer with chemotheraphy and associated hair loss, ashen skin, pain, etc. You simply should not display vanity to any cancer theme.
