There were other candid moments when Badu spoke directly to the audience, like when she jokingly admonished the crowd for sitting down during the beginning of her set. โRight now Imma do one of my favourite songs, [but]ย itโs not going to be โTyroneโ because yโall were sitting down at the beginning and Iโm vindictive so Iโm punishing you for sitting down,โ she said to laughs. Badu, of course, is referring to her 1997 classic (and my go-to karaoke song) โTyrone (Live)โ. Badu relented after cheers from the crowd and turned to her band and said, โIf we do do it, letโd do it fast as fuckโ before launching into a sped-up rendition of her fan-favorite hit. As someone who has heard the song about a million times and knows every run, every adlib and every โshhhiiitโ, it was refreshing to hear a new version of one of my favorite jams.ย
