Eye Contact

[britbrit975]

one criticism, whether she improves on anything, she needs to work on her stage presence/body language the tiniest bit more, most notably: EYE CONTACT.

Comparing footage of the today show this morning to older footage, she would hold her eye contact much longer (whether at the camera, looking a dancer in the eye, the audience in the past). Now she glances at her backup dancers (as if to check if she is doing it right) and checks the floor when she moves and just seems a lot more cautious. Love her to death, don't bash me for this, I doubt she notices it herself because she probably had much more confidence before, just think would make her dancing look much more deliberate, and help her stand out.

I think VMA she nailed it the eye contact after the first seconds. POM is getting better slowly, but the today show was bad lol.

VMA had the eye contact though.....she was serving fierceness despite what people may say

she does a lot of eye contact when she goes live.... I think the problem is when she knows it's being filmed

That's the #1 thing Beyonce got right on Sunday. She was eye-******* the camera.

When I forced my family to watch ha BBMAs performance, they noticed that she kept looking down to count her steps in order to execute choreography. I never really noticed that but in some POM performances it's evident. It's like she's focused on hitting each move "right/correct" rather than free-styling (that's the closest word I could think of to try to convey what I'm trying to say).

I'm not bashing her BBMAs performance, POM, or the energy that she's exuded over the past year in her performance, but if she put in a little bit more time to practice the choreo to where she didn't have to look down, then maybe she'd be able to have more eye contact with the audience.

Near the end of the VMAs during the final chorus for MM, when they did close-ups with G-Eazy she was kinda awkward with the eye contact.

Yeap, that's exactly what's missing right now.. and it's been missing since 2008. She killed the cameras on Womanizer promo performances, but that was the last time. (im not talking about dancing or anything else, just the attitude)

Exactly, I actually saw glimpse in Pretty Girls and a bit at the VMA's, but the lack of stage confidence is evident in her eyes, (and for all who think I'm micro analyzing...which i am...look up eye contact body-language, it is the number one way people communicate emotion and most important dominance).
