Honest Question - How do you feel watching this?

[MaPlayz]

This is about 7 years ago.. just watched it again tonight.. not even gonna give my opinion on it, just wanna know how you feel about the performance and how it compares to today.

Honestly? You ******* can downvote the **** out of me but imma be honest. 

I feel like that screams Britney. Her face is real Britney and I miss that because she looks absolutely gorgeous now, but she doesn't look like Britney. 

Now y'all will be like "enough with the nose, the lips and the eyelift, she looks perfect"

She does look awesome, yes. But you can't deny the fact that she's another person, and in my opinion all she needed was bottox and to lose some weight and she'd look like primeney again. Take VMAs 2011 or x factor live shows as an example.

I can also accept, and be happy with the fact that her body looks flawless, her best body since 2003 tbh.

And I'm also happy with the fact that she dances really good.

But, what she misses is...this. This video.

The attitude, the fierceness. These are the things she doesn't have and she needs to bring back. 

When I'm watching videos from back then, she wasn't dancing as good as she does now, but I'm always like

"***** IS FEELING IT".

 Now I'm like "Will she dance good? Will she give us sexiness? Will she be fierce? Will she miss that part?" 

I just... I'm truly grateful for her now, but I miss this. I feel like, she's so much better as a performer compared to 2011 but compared to that? I just don't know. She's a better dancer for sure, and she has a better body. But that's all. 

But, I'm so so so so much happy that she's clearly very happier now than she was back then.

she looked like a badass. she didnt look like she needs to remember the choreo or anything. plus she always chewed gum during piece of me which pretty much saying "I don't give a ****" and that is hoooot. compared to today, well, the energy is back but different attitude.  

[Curiousexhaler86]

It makes me miss her old face tbh but the performance was... Well, it was a Circusney performance. She looked pretty.

[Steel Magnolia]

Honest reaction...It's like watching a completely different person.

[Mona Lisa 2.0]

This performance is better than a lot of POM choreographies 

[RobRocks]

Not gonna lie. When I watch vids like this one I can't help to think: I miss her!  

[MaPlayz]

There was beauty in her rebellious spirit.

I don't know .. maybe it's all her growing up, but it just feels different

 

[Steel Magnolia]

It feels like she's completely lost her confidence.

It happens when you hit your 30's.

In terms of dancing, it's nothing. Currentney wins there. It's fierce af-- and that's what's missing nowadays. That attitude and that confidence. Not just for a few seconds or a minute, but throughout an entire performance.

I even made myself forget that a leg lift at least once during a show used to be the norm. Don't remind me of these things.

[really really cool guy]

Her biggest problem now is that she keeps counting her steps making her lip synching more evident 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also miss her old face so ******* much 

[Steel Magnolia]

And I just realized what it was about the original MM video that I loved...it was that rebellious or confident aura that she exudes in this video.

Even within a couple of seconds of footage it felt real. 

[BadBitch8]

Makes me feel all sorts of amazing to be fair 

[PieceofBritney]

Makes me miss the youthful Britney. She's a bit mature now.

It's not attitude or confidence. She looks rehearsed now. She is confident but she looks like she is thinking about something else while remembering the moves. Except few exceptions. She is not feeling the music. Her face doesn't change when lyrics are serious or not...

that's my britney

That's part of what I mean, though. That is the confidence/attitude I'm referring to; you can see her having to remember the steps despite being well rehearsed, whereas it used to be something that came naturally to her because of what you and others said, she was feeling the music. I know she's not anymore.

She knows the steps tho she just focuses on it because she is not feeling the music so that's the next thing to focus on. That's why she looks rehearsed. Her dance moves used to look very natural.

I'm not disagreeing.
