Jewel Tori Kelly [ABC]
Featuring names like Backstreet Boys, Hanson and Coolio and songs like “I Want It That Way,” “MmmBop” and “Gangsta’s Paradise,” Thursday’s 1995-2000 edition of “Greatest Hits” definitely lived up to its bill. Not simply great from a recognition standpoint, several of the night’s performances also delivered.
None delivered as well as the Jewel and Tori Kelly duet.
The two collaborated on the former’s “You Were Meant For Me.” Jewel confirmed she can definitely still connect with a lyric, and Tori Kelly again proved herself to be one of the most bankable live performers in mainstream music.
A video of the performance follows. Videos of The Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody,” “I Want It That Way (with Meghan Trainor)” and Hanson’s “MmmBop” are also featured.
