When Chloe x Halle announced that they were performing at the BET awards, I knew they were going to treat us all to a PERFORMANCE, because that's all these girls have done since the release of their Summer bop "Do It".
After their backyard performance for Global Citizen rolled out looking like a damn Super Bowl halftime show, I removed my wig cap and set it down willingly. And of course, by the time I turned around to check if it was still there, the bitch was gone.
I should be sick of "Do It", but I'm not. It might be just a bit early for songs of the year lists, but "Do It" is in it. Fuck it.
Chloe x Halle always give something different each time they perform "Do It" to make it feel new and change how you hear it. Whenever I play the song after the girls have performed it, I find myself singing all of the extra ad-libs and harmonies that they keep adding each time. And as performers it's easy for them to get sick of the song too, so it's nice that they care enough to even bother changing it, when it would be easy to go through the motions and just perform it the same way each time.
Miss Corona is a bitch. But I don't think Chloe x Halle would be enjoying this surge in popularity the way they are now if they weren't confined to their homes and having to get creative with their performances and their promo. Chloe x Halle and the Parkwood posse have had to think outside of the box for performances to not only maintain the finesse and consistency that we've gotten with Chloe x Halle's shoots, promo images and visuals for Ungodly hour, but to make each performance feel new. The drive to deliver something different and unique may not had been as potent if Chloe x Halle were able to just head over to The Late Late Show or Jimmy Fallon for a televised performance. The Parkwood posse wouldn't have had as much licence to dress the stages as they've been able to with the freedom they have of Chloe x Halle's back yard. And if they were to have done their BET performance in a normal award show setting on a regular ass stage, we wouldn't have gotten their dance off with themselves and the cinematography certainly wouldn't have been as good, because this shit looked like a damn music video.
Chloe x Halle are setting such a standard with their home performances, that I don't know why they'd ever bother turning up to TV shows to perform again. Just get that white man who holds Beyoncé's handbags to WeTransfer TV shows an mp4 of their home performance.
