I was eagerly anticipating Frank Oceans first performance at an awards show and boy was I not disappointing. Frank opted to go with just an accompanying guitar and that boy sang his heart out of that song 'Thinking About You'. With a simple bonfire setting and the house lights dimmed, Mr Ocean took that stage and commanded that stage Barefoot in a black suit and his trademark head band.
I thought he was going to do 'Bad Religion' or Sweet Life or something but he stuck to the song most people know, but gave it a new spin. You could feel the pain in that falsetto, you could feel Frank 'thinking about' whoever this person was, who was his first. I was left dumbfounded at the end of the performance, which was clearly the best of the VMAs for me.
Even Lady Gaga tweeted, 'she died' after watching this performance. She was one of the many artisits who turned to twitter after the performance to give Frank the praise he deserves. Zoe Saldana, introduced his performance and even she too was excited to see him perform.
Well done, Frank! Next is the 2013 Grammy's! :) There will be no One Direction. lol
