Iggy Azalea Slays "Fancy" & "Black Widow" on SNL Debut / MO's Nerves Mess Up "Beg For It": Watch
Female fapper of the year Iggy Azalea has another dream to mark off her bucket list; performing on “Saturday Night Live”. The Australian star was the musical guest on the 4th episode of the 40th season of the legendary NBC sketch comedy/variety show on October 25th. “Wow! Can't believe I just survived this! Thank you so much for the opportunity SNL", wrote I-G-G-Y on Instagram minutes after her last performance.
Ms. Azalea's first performance was a medley of “Fancy” and “Black Widow” (from “The New Classic”). For the second song, Iggy was supported on stage by Rita Ora - who nobody knew was in NYC. The Kosovo music princess served fierceness, make-up and hair last night. It would have been magical if Charli XCX had been there too to help Iggy performing “Fancy” – because I ain’t loving how her back-up singers do the chorus – but hey! at least she DID perform “Fancy”. Next, for performance #2, Iggy chose to debut her recently-premiered brand new single “Beg for It” on TV. This is the first single from the upcoming "Reclassified” album (the re-pack of Iggy’s debut album). Danish singer MO appeared and disappeared on/off stage as the chorus of “Beg for It” started/ended, and then she remained on stage during the switch from the last chorus to the outro.
Now what the hell happened to MO? I had already embraced the idea she had suffered technical problems - because she just sounded a MESS during her chorus parts - but Iggy's after-show comments on Instagram kind of say it was MO’s own blame due to nerves. Check out the screencaps below!!!!
Iggy Azalea actually lied. This wasn’t MO’s “TV debut”. She actually performed some time ago on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and she killed it there! So what happened last night? It was nerves I guess. "SNL" is a big thing for any artist and it seems MO just wasn’t ready. But as Iggy says in her comment: “It only gets easier now!". Yes, you messed up big time ,MO – due to nerves or whatever - but we know there's real talent in you and that you CAN kill a TV performance. You just need some more TV training. Keep it up!
