The same thing happens to normal people when they act on a school play or something. You rehearse too but that doesn't mean you will remember all the details 15 years later :wyd:

Actually true, to an extent. Tbh, she probably remembers the rehearsals better than she does the performances themselves. When they happen, it just flies by. It's easier for me to remember the little chats I had with my castmates in our downtime during rehearsals than it is everything I did on stage. I retain little things, but some things people tell me happened can surprise me because I don't remember it at all.

I'm not making excuses for her, though. But to me, the memory thing hasn't been as concerning as it seems to be with others. I think she just claims not to remember some stuff because she doesn't feel like going on and on about it. :yaknow: (*Photoshoots excluded, lmfao.)

I agree with a lot of you about the memory thing. She rehearses, does it, and moves on; while we watch the performances over and over again, discussing every detail, rehearsing/learning them ourselves. I'm trying to relate to that. For example, my master's thesis: I worked two years on that and when it got published it's like OKAY DONE NEXT PROJECT. And I can imagine people fascinated with the work and reading it in detail several times and asking me questions about the research and I wouldn't remember everything. 

Still, her behaviour has changed a lot. Is it medication? Mental illness? She is ashamed of her past self? She wants the GP to understand that she will never be the same person and therefore acts completely differently? Who knows...

Maybe she always acts surprised because she constantly sees a new person when she looks in the mirror :tiffcackle:

Reminds me of that time in 2016 when she did a live chat and one of the questions were who she wanted to collaborate with that she hasn't yet and she said Timberlake (mind you, they worked together back in 2001 for What it's Like to Be Me) but the weirdest part is when confronted about it again in another interview she completely flipped it around and said "one of my friends asked if I would work with him and I said yes" what?! No, Britney YOU were the one who mentioned him first and said you wanted to do it. I don't know if she was just backtracking because JT said he would be down for the collab so she got nervous or if she genuinely forgot she said that and it wasn't brought up by a friend. Either way I thought the whole thing was kinda  odd.

I think she's low key ashamed/ embarrassed  of her younger self and has convinced herself she has always been a just a mom who paints and does yoga

I think it's the opposite -- she's lowkey embarrassed by her current self, so she downplays her old self because that's who she really wishes she could still be. :kyliecry:

 this thread is the saddest thing I've read on here. :kyliecry:

Its like Britney is gone mentally and physically but yet she's still alive.  It makes me depressed to think about but I agree about the memory thing,  performance wise you go into a trance in a way and everything blurs. It's no wonder she doesn't remember most of it,  she's been doing it all for years and years.

I love her, but she needs to retire until she gets her passion back to OWN the stage (if at all).  I'm fine with the lip-synching, but at least put effort like you're really singing the words and not walk around with your arms by your side.

that's the biggest thing right there. back in the day when she would dance like a monster she could lip sing alllllll she wanted & no one would even care because her dancing was so good. now its just like ......oooookay so you're gonna be stiff & robotic AND not sing? which makes it all seem 100x worse.  she needs to stop going thru the motions and acting like dancing is just part of her daily routine & get that ******* inner fire back that we all know and love.

ZERO self awareness. its like those people that when they're driving they're physically in the car but mentally not paying attention to driving. if that makes any sense lmao.

it's kind of sad and scary. idk how someone (anyone) can lose their self awareness. she had it in 2008. maybe it's bc she lives in a bubble bc of the cship

Not making fun when I say this...I wonder if it's a case of it being like more than two people? It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of celebrities put on an act for their entertainer self. You have this bold personality versus your everyday personality that you use around people that you know. That first personality got slammed every which way and dragged through burning coals. She's a figment of the imagination so she can go away. She's become too toxic and it hurt my real self. The past is too wrapped up in that figment that used to exist and I just don't want to remember anymore. Bringing up accomplishments still makes me think of the really shitty times and it takes me back like it was yesterday. I'd rather have a mental block and not remember, play down accomplishments as if it was somebody else doing that stuff because somebody else was doing that stuff. I can create a new personality to display on public and the mannerisms you all are pointing out are wrapped up in that new creation.

Ah, I hope this makes sense instead of sounding stupid. Maybe I'm projecting in certain parts. I don't know Britney and I'm not in her body and mind. Only she would be able to tell the real story.

all i know is i watch her interviews from the past & then the ones now and its SO hard not to compare the two because i just cant help but feel like im watching a different person. i get it people age / grow up / mature & all that of course but with her its just so extreme my mind cant comprehend it sometimes. and granted we dont know what goes on or what has gone on in her personal life so who am i to make any kind of assumptions or comments on her behalf... but being a fan since i was literally 4 its impossible not to bring some of this stuff up. i just want to see her mentally there & not acting like someone is telling her how to be. because to me that's what it feels like. everything she does now seems forced.

this was actually a brilliant post i understood what you meant completely. granted in the past she was said to have multiple personality disorder/bipolar issues so who knows but you do make a very good point. i think about how i was in highschool & how i am now and its literally like two different people BUT the difference is i dont act different now to the point where to others i seem like a completely different person. if that makes sense. shes almost just unrecognizable, & not just because of her looks i just mean from the britney we all knew.

she lives isolated life, doesn't have freedom to make her own friends, her boyfriends are set up by her dad

I really doubt you can stay the same way after living this guarded life for so long

 are we really surprised that she has no idea what's cool anymore? she really is a mom who tries to be "britney spears" occasionally

that star quality is definitely gone

15 years ago, she could perform "Email my heart" and she would still be entertaining

now she performs her biggest hits and she's just not as entertaining anymore

I don't know what the **** happened but she's a completely different person

not even the greatest song would make her look natural :kyliecry: i'm just glad she's the happiest she's been in 12 years tbh
