Sad, very very sad.

Warning: Spoilers
************Potential Spoilers Ahead********** Martin Lawrence has absolutely lost it. He seems worn down, lacking his usual energy throughout this live show. I think his health problems have taken their tole, or if not, then I think he may have been neutered. This was an obvious rip off of Eddie Murphy's Raw (talk about losing it), but it was truely the least funny and most embarrassing live comedic performance I have ever seen. The crowd was going crazy as he was introduced, but within the first two minutes of the show you could feel the energy being sucked out of the room. Usually the comedian energizes the crowd. Martin takes himself way too seriously now, as demonstrated by the introduction scenes where it felt more like a boxer getting ready for a fight. He must have used up all his energy backstage, because he just flat sucked once he started the show. I felt sorry for Martin throughout. I loved Def Comedy Jam and You So Crazy, but those times are long gone for Martin. He has certainly lost his edge and should hang it up.
