I thought her voice was pretty good, as was the music itself; certainly not my cup of tea.
However, in the realm of art, there is better and worse that doesn’t depend on genre. The performance art part of the show was silly and contrived, and I agree that she would have done better to let the music speak for itself.

"The performance art part of the show was silly and contrived".

This song by the female singer with the bi-polar wig was contrived by the art director and/or the costume designer to BE silly, eye-caching and out-of-the-norm.

This late, late show is aimed at a trendy, cutting-edge-humor younger audience, as are the commercials....not to a traditional, sometimes fuddy-duddy (gasp!) audience such as many folks on conservative forums.

In our own younger and middle-aged days we watched "Leave it to Beaver", then went to bed. The younger generation stays up way late to watch "SNL".

They have disposable income, they watch the ads, they buy, it's THEIR time slot for fun and entertainment suited to THEIR tastes...in short, it's capitalism working as it's meant to. No one is forced to watch the show if it's not to their particular tastes.

All that being said, the very talented cast and Trump did the best they could with the lame material handed them...the writing stunk. What's happened to all the brilliant comedy writing that used to emanate from New York City for decades and decades?

Sad.
