Better Live Vocal Performance : Jay Leno SHOE or Alladin GABHA?

These two performances stand out in my head as amongst the most stellar vocal performances of the latter half of Prince's career.

.

The Alladin performance was more theatrical IMO but the Leno performance to me was impeccable vocally.

.

Which is better? And is there another vocal performance that you think stands out more than those two?

Change it one more time..

I'm still not sure if SHOE was really live. It just sounds too good.

What the hell is GABHA?
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

WTF? You think Prince lip synced. this version sounds different than the original. Plus, Prince still could sing quite well live. He has some rusty moments here and there probably due to strain but the voice was still there. I hope you are kidding.

2017 - no more acronyms! Typing the first three words of a song title is so much better.

Somewhere Here, although i haven't seen the other performance, but Somewhere was a beautiful performance and actually was the first performance i ever saw from Prince, and the one that started my love for his art along with Call My Name video.

Got a Broken Heart Again = GABHA

Somewhere Here on Earth = SHOE

It's online. When I first saw it on the Live At the Alladin DVD I was blown away by it. This last time it wasnt the same. But I still like the slowed down version of it. Maybe it was because I was in front of a large tv with speakers connected instead of a computer.
