My experience at Piece of Me

[sarahbbyy]

I went on the 16th and it was somewhat what I expected. 

1. The AXIS is a pretty great auditorium. Most places have really bad acoustics, based on my past concert experiences. This one was flawless. However, she was not singing live, so maybe that is a huge part of it. The band though did not overpower it either. So, good signs. The venue was also small enough that any seat you get is a pretty good seat(except you just don't see the front of her face too often and a little part of the stage is hidden.

2. Speaking of her band, it was louder than her recorded voice. She also ended some songs after the bridges.

3. Her lip syncing was so obvious to the point that my friend (who took me), who is not even a fan and barely knew anything about her, noticed it and said that her mouth was not even moving at some points. "Everytime" was the worst when her old recorded vocals were SO loud and all she did was move her arms up and down like she was putting on a show for kids, trying to demonstrate how an angel flies.

4. Everyone on here has said that she is very lazy. In person, she actually had a huge amount of energy. She was trying to execute every move, mark her cues, correct every placement, and go to the right place at the moment that she needed too. She ran around the stage A LOT. She worked hard.

Her moves were just terrible. She might be too lazy in her willingness to learn how to do better moves but she also came off as robotic, so like I have said many times, it seems like medication more than anything that might be making her so stiff and not the dancer she used to be.

5. Her sets were cool, somewhat cheap but then again, I feel that way about most artists' concerts. So therefore, Britney's sets are no better or worse than any other hugely named entertainer. The production was pretty good but some looked a little old school, like one right before she came out to perform the song Circus. It's a reminder of her album booklet for that record. 

6. She sounds like a mom talking to her kids in the audience.  THE END! 

Oh and PS. (I was SO pissed about this) Even though I disliked Piece of Me in the past and what it represented, I still decided to buy the tour program. It is the same old one from 2013 with the previous performance outfits and sets. It was $30 and a huge waste of money. I would have been better off buying the expensive *** t-shirts and the Glory album that costs way less in stores.

Good honest review. Hope you had fun regardless!

I love how the show looks so much more saturated and vibrant than in videos, I was shook with the production and colourful lasers & stuff. It made the show mesmerizing.

She bought a ticket, she can be as harsh as she wants 

She gave Britney compliments too

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

They still haven't updated that tired *** program?

Because I said she acted like she was a mom talking to her kids to the audience? I thought that was pretty tame compared to the extremely harsh things that people say most of the time on here. I also made a ton of excuses for her as well, so fishy review? Most people on this forum say "She sucks at this this and that" I gave both good and bad points. I am even giving her a ton of credit for things that others don't. I'm sorry though. 

Honestly, "Everytime" was so cringeworthy that it was hard to get through, so I wanted to warn people about it. Even if I was being harsh, I felt what she did during that part of the show was unnecessary and it did not even go with what the song was about.

The production was pretty good, a lot better than people on Exhale said it would be. I also loved seeing the snippets of all her old videos

this is just  unnecessary assumption 

[Spearsfan]

Random question do they have that Britney shot glass available at her merch stand?

The fact that you even need to apologize for your honest review because you offended some britards 

And yeah, the way she talks to the audience is funny sometimes

Clearly they are giving a negative opinion because they have seen the show too much online 

They shouldn't have watched all those videos 

 

 

 

 

Lets be real though that is the most common excuse from stans as to why some ppl don't think Pom is amazing 

[really really cool guy]

Everytime is cringy in videos too... I always skip it. her arm moves don't even make sense. I mean she has two giant wings, why even bother

Did you still like the experience? 

[breaktheiceofmrv]

It's good to see someone besides me talking about how much she moves around.Good or bad,i believe her when she said this is her most dancing.She's never been this active on stage before.She's running for almost 2 hours

Even from the videos i find POM entertaining,it was very good at the beginning of the revamp, but we can see she's not even rehearsing and it shows.(horrible choreo would still be there tho)

 

The idea of Everytime is great with all the angel-devil thing but her arm moves are unnecessary.Imagine if she was live singing on a platform with wings and a mic in her hands and then become a devil

It was a pretty great experience. I don't like just hearing about what it's like from others. I liked that I could see it first hand. It was an overall fun show. The production was great and it was really high energy. The band was also great as well.

I don't watch the show that much online. I see snippets here and there but that's all. I became a fan of her because of her particular style of dancing she did in her prime and the modern day style is not for me, so I have a hard time getting through it. I was just being honest about how she sounded.

I also don't think that has anything to do with POM not being amazing. I actually liked the show and I am not even a fan of audience interaction as much as most people, so I could care less if she talked that much. I felt she was cute and pleasant.

She just can be cheesy sometimes and it does not fit the mood of the show but it is just an observation. It did not ruin the show at all for me.

I saw T-shirts and the tour program but I did not see the glass. I did see some of the audience members have it though, so...
