Ellie Goulding Finally Performs "Love Me Like You Do" Somewhere: Watch

I had completely forgotten Ellie Goudling had yet to give her "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack hit "Love Me Like You Do" a live performance. Crazy, right? The Max Martin-produced mid-tempo pop composition is undoubtedly the best-performing song from the whole OST of the “Grey” movie, so why isn't Republic Records booking a high-profile television show for Ellie to perform "Love Me Like You Do" live? I don’t get it. The Weeknd performed "Earned It" on "The Tonight Show". So why isn't Ellie given the chance to promote "Love Me Like You Do"? I doubt she’s refusing and she clearly has the time because she has no own music to promote currently.

Anyhow, imagine my surprise to see that the very first live performance of "Love Me Like You Do" happened at a private HP event in Barcelona, Spain earlier this week during Mobile World Congress. WTF? Shame the first live performance did not occur at “Ellen”, “SNL”, “Letterman” or at the BRIT Awards that were recently held in London (you know…the city where Ellie LIVES in). Do I think we’ll be seeing Ellie do "Love Me Like You Do" on a television show in the near future? I really doubt it. It's already 3 weeks since "Fifty Shades of Grey" hit theatres.

As for the very first performance of "Love Me Like You Do", which you can check out below thanks to the awesome Ellie fan that recorded it with his smartphone and uploaded it on YouTube, it shows Ms. Goulding doing 99% justice to the song. I mean, I love the fact that she sounds live exactly as the studio version of the song, and that her low notes are so amazing, but she really needs to work on her high notes. I mean, the high note during the bridge is perhaps my favorite part of the song and it was a bit shaky there.

Thoughts?
