After gaining national attention with his spotlight performance at the 2012 MTV VMAs, Frank Ocean continues his national TV circuit tour with an appearance on NBC's SNL.
But Frank didn't come alone. He brought John Mayer along and he accompanied the Odd Future star during both of his performances. But John really got his own spotlight with his guitar solo during "Pyramids."
Frank's set paid homage to his nerd origins, as it was littered with arcade games from his childhood. His outfit could best be described as homely. The enormously baggy sweater definitely won't land Frank on GQ's list of best-dressed men.
The performances themselves were low energy, as Frank clung closely to the mic for most of them. But his voice was 100 percent on. His falsetto never wavered during "Thinkin' Bout You" and he soared during "Pyramids."
It's just a shame that he didn't incorporate the first part of "Pyramids" somehow, as that's perhaps the most uptempo song on his album.
