Haley brought material from their new album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power to SNL to mixed reviews. Halsey went all out for the first Saturday Night Live performance, but some perceived audio mixing issues sparked complaints on Twitter. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter delivered a rendition of their epic and bombastic track “I am not woman, I’m a god.” Its powerful production seemed to overpower the vocal mix at points, to no fault of Halsey’s.
Some complained they couldn’t enjoy the performance as a result of the mixing issues. Others were at least intrigued by the sonics to seek out the studio version. Diehard fans were simply in awe of Halsey’s attire and accompanying stage setup, which were futuristic and drew plenty of comparisons to sci-fi properties. Scroll through to read some of the reactions to Halsey’s first SNL performance of the night.
