She did a godawful rendition of Yesterday in the recent Grammy tribute to the Beatles. She's totally over the top with her histrionic vocal. It was like watching Joan Crawford sing a Beatles song.
Yesterday is a really difficult song to sing and Paul McCartney proves his extraordinary talent as a vocalist by making it sound deceptively easy to sing. Katy Perry pulverizes the beauty of the song with her bull-in-a-china-shop rendition of the song. She knows nothing about the art of voacalese. McCartney didn't seem to pleased with the vocal either. He stood up and applaud nearly every other performer except for Katy Perry.
BTW the grey balding guy with a grey beard playing one of the two acoustic guitars on the song is none other than Peter Frampton.
