There are not many great live performers in music. Some artists are very good but are only comfortable in the studio, which is understandable because music, like writing, is a solitary work and would require extra force or pull to stand before an audience and perform.

There is something special about that, watching an artist bring their music to life on stage. The vocals, the choreography, the stage presence, the connection with the audience — sometimes, a live performance makes you appreciate a song in an entirely new way.
