Did Kendrick's Performance Even Matter? (SPOILER: Yes, if we do THIS...)

Was Kendrick's performance too subtle? Was it too much? Was it hypocritical? Was it effective? Was it “divisive”? Was it flashy enough? Should there have been more guests, more hits, less dense material? Was Josh Johnson right?

It doesn't matter. What DOES matter, is what we decide to do next.
