Cindy Laupa's New Year's Eve performance comes under fire from the audience: "The final punishment of 2020"

Cindy Laupa and Billy Potter left 2020 with a bang. Music icon Cindy Laupa, 67, took the stage in New York to celebrate New Year's Eve and performed several of her songs, including "True Colors" with Porter. The song was immediately criticized on Twitter.

One user said: "Cindy Laupa and Billy Potter feel like two 8-year-olds performing for adults with the intention of inviting them to spend the night at someone else's house."

The second added: "The voices of Cindy Laupa and Billy Potter sounded like I was drunk on karaoke night."

Subsequently, she sang the 2019 song "Hope" with the theme of electronic dance music, which "caught fire" on social media sites.

"Cindy Lawa's performance is the final punishment for 2020," one audience member wrote on Twitter.

"Cindy Laupa is doing the worst live performance in history," another said. "I was so embarrassed to watch it, so I changed the TV channels. It was an honorable on-site accident. ”

Another audience member pointed out that this performance basically summed up the situation in 2020, implying that it was terrible.
