Critics

  • “It took me 20 years to get on this stage,” T-Pain said near the end of his performance on the main stage, and that meant nobody could stop the pioneering hip-hop and R&B star from singing faithful renditions of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” and the country standard “Tennessee Whiskey.”

  • Zooming through the vintage hits that made her one of hip-hop’s brightest stars in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Missy Elliott still seemed to be peering into the future in a rowdy main-stage set that served as a kind of victory lap after the long-overdue arena tour she finally mounted last year.

  • You knew he’d wear a sparkly disco singlet. You knew he’d do a dramatic backflip (or three).

  • A good detail I didn’t include in my recent profile of Lola Young is that this British singer and songwriter has taken to singing the clean version of her viral hit “Messy” in concert so she can more easily remember not to drop the song’s many F-bombs when she’s performing on TV (which she’s been doing a lot lately).
