There’s nothing quite like a live performance. The fun of buying the tickets, the excitement of the days leading up, and the thrill of seeing your favorite musical artist in real life are all elements necessary for an unforgettable night. But unfortunately, some performers just don’t deliver as you would like them to.
We rounded up a list of musical acts that many say you should stick to listening to on the radio.
Lana Del Rey has a bad track record for live performances.

Lana Del Rey’s infamous performance on “Saturday Night Live” in 2012, which was both awkward and pitchy, according to the Cheat Sheet, tops almost all worst live performance lists.
On tour, she may show some improvements, but her performance is still underwhelming, according to Alissa Musto, singer/songwriter, and professional musician.
“The band was good. She was good. The songs were good. However, I kept waiting for that big moment that never came,” Musto told INSIDER.
To make matters worse, Lana’s fans were the real topper, Musto added. Most of the time, all you could hear are 16-year-olds chanting ‘We love you, Lana’ at the top of their lungs. Lana is definitely a talented songwriter, but she makes for a better recording artist.
Miley Cyrus has proven she has a great voice, but her bizarre dancing can throw people off.

Over the years, we’ve watched the former Hannah Montana superstar put on a few unforgettable performances — and not in a good way. From her pole dance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards to twerking with Robin Thicke at the 2013 VMAs, she’s completely transformed as an artist before the eyes of her young fans.
According to The Guardian, her 2015 stadium show in Chicago was as equally-disappointing as her previous award show performances. Not only did Cyrus forget her lyrics, but the band sounded unrehearsed, there were awkward lulls between songs, and to top it off, Miley sported a butter stick costume at one point.
The New Yorker, however, claims that “The Voice” judge is turning around, so hopefully, that means her shows will too.
Selena Gomez has struggled to hit the high notes during her concerts.

The 25-year-old sticks to mostly whispering in her hit singles, but unfortunately for her live performances, this is not always the case. On “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” back in 2015, Gomez took to the stage and struggled to hit the high notes in “Same Old Love,” according to Clevver.
