Paul Simon took to the Democratic National Convention stage last night to perform his hit "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
A lot of fans were quick to point out that the singer's performance was, well, troubled.
Éponine15191 @Eponine15191 So I've just caught up with the footage of Paul Simon at the DNC yesterday singing Bridge Over TW, I'm so sad for him. He looks sick. #sad 5:26 AM - 26 Jul 2016
Public_Interest @Public_Interest Paul Simon fan here: Paul Simon was awful tonight. 10:05 PM - 25 Jul 2016
Mr. Cummings @APGOPOHHS I've always loved Paul Simon but that was more awful than a karaoke version of Bridge Over Troubled Water. 9:30 PM - 25 Jul 2016
Regina Ferguson @regina_ferguson Paul Simon singing Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water at the DNC was painful. Is the man ill? Off key with no emotion.
Some, however, defended Simon, noting his age.
Paul Waldman @paulwaldman1 Hey everybody, cut Paul Simon some slack on not hitting the high notes. The man's 74 years old! Your voice should be as good at that age. 9:46 PM - 25 Jul 2016

Very astute observation.
The thing is, he’s not supposed to hit the high notes. That’s Garfunkel’s role. The Democrats promise to bring America together again, and they can’t even bring Simon and Garfunkel together again.
Moe appropriate would be AC/DC “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”.
Steven Tyler.
Nah, they do them expensively.
Is Hillary the silver girl in BOTW?
I was joking today that Garfunkel didn’t show up because he’s a Republican :)
Troubling? Like in dark?!!!!!!
Get that man some Obamacare!
(put him out of his misery)
Kodachrome is obsolete and so is he.....................
I’m ahead of the curve— I’ve found everything he’s done since the first Simon & Garfunkel album to be irritating and troubled.
Hillary’s what’s troubling the water!
I don't watch the show but was flipping through the other night and paused to see what the MSM boobs at TMZ had to say about it. Confirmed: they are haters.
I always liked “Laugh In’s” Simon And Gar Farkle better.
I saw Stephane Grapelli when he was just shy of 80 years old and he was still sharp as a whip and as fast on that violin as any young hotshot could be.
If Simon wasn’t in good enough health to perform, he shouldn’t have been on stage.
The Farkle Family was a very funny recurring skit!
I saw Andre Segovia very late in his career. Also incredibly nimble.
OTOH, Sinatra was one who stayed onstage past his expiration date... sad to see, and hear...
Never did like Ry’men Simon.I always felt he is/was the 1st “Pajama Boy”, aka a pussy
A great talent, now a Clinton toadie. Very sad.
