Oxic Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 9 hours ago, generation glory said: LONG REPLY. Sorry In advance. I think you’re all correct. It’s a combination of anxiety and boredom. The anxiety is a lot more of a personal issue that she needs to learn proper coping tools. Then maybe she won’t feel a need to do “filler moves” (knee bend/butt wipes) and fidget (readjusting her ponytail and bun) so much on stage. She probably doesn’t realize she does this and she might not even know WHY she does it. That’s what she needs to figure out! Someone needs to address this with her and help her (maybe through therapy) get to the root of her problems. WHY does she feel the need to constantly mess with her hair? WHY does she feel like she has to be in constant motion doing those filler moves when there isn’t even choreo intended to be there and the movements are done out of habit instead of passion? WHY is she so uncomfortable being on stage? Figure that out then try to find a solution that works. Lots of people have anxiety and stage fright. Britney has to acknowledge the issue and learn how to make it better. She is seemingly oblivious plus no one around her wants to be the one to sit her down to tell her these things. Her anxiety may never fully go away but she can improve certain behaviors she’s developed. The boredom factor is real too. She’s still performing IMO because to an extent she does like it, but it’s also due to the fact that she doesn’t know how to do anything else. Performing gives her something to do with herself and she makes a lot of money doing this. Her team financially benefit too of course. Routine is good for her. But she’s not interested in learning something complex or honing her artistic craft. It doesn’t look like she’s around people who will support her like that and she’s not interacting with other artistic people regularly because if she did maybe she’d vibe off them, it could give her a push/boost on a creative level. She’s in a bubble surrounded by older, boring, non artistic, conservative types who have outdated or restrictive views on how she should go about her career. She’s not really up for a challenge careerwise the way her peers are. I think it’s because 1- she’s over it and 2-it’ll cause her even more anxiety and stress if she feels like she has to measure up to others. It may also scare her on some level. Success can be a double edge sword. It really seems like she’s stuck in this bizarre cycle. I love you cause that's exactly my opinion and I've been searching this comment since ages! I wanted to say it but I didn't have the words but you literally read my mind Spoiler Link to comment
WilderWein Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I think it’s what the other user said, to fill in the gabs between movements combined with anxiety. Still, I don’t understand why no one around her says anything to her about the mess that she is as a performer now? (I know that sounds harsh) I’m seeing the show with my boyfriend next month and I will be embarrassed... I don’t think I will be able to defend her anymore. I just hope it will look better in person and that the show won’t be as cheap looking as opening night. Link to comment
WilderWein Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 BTW the spastic arm thing she discovered during the criminal video. What a weird *** scene that is when she does the spastic arm and hand dancing lol looks so silly... Link to comment
redacted statement Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 14 hours ago, DoSomething954 said: It’s so baffling that she just can’t dance anymore. Like ppl will say she’s bored or whatever, but being bored doesn’t make u lose rhythm. If anything you’ll just look uninterested not like you never danced a day in your life I don't know.. it really is baffling like you say.. it isn't just a "I'm done, I hate my job".. she has no rhythm, her fluidity is that of a 70 year old.. could it be the knee injuries? I mean the "Mannequin" video proves otherwise.. Link to comment

Danishfan Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 10 hours ago, fintan said: No the 'tics' are when she randomly moves her arms in weird motions, bends her knees repeatedly and does that weird hand movement where she moves her hands out like she's serving a platter of food lol. I think they kinda originated from the Work ***** choreography with all the erratic arm movements, but I think they're now built into her muscle memory. She started doing them during the beginning of Piece Of Me 2.0 and it gradually got worse. She didn’t do the knee bending when she started Pom 2.0 though. That was the closest we’ve ever been to primeny since 2007. I mean Just watch performances from Pom in 2016, and then compare them to her performances from this tour. The choreography is the same, but the difference is still huge! Link to comment

tsss Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 OHT still looks classier, thanks to the real outfits I think her show is becoming more sexualized because there's nothing more left to attract the audience with Link to comment

She kinda did... remember she kept doing those crab claw movements with her hands. But she was also a lot more lethargic and now I think she's much more full of energy but doesn't know what to do with it. Link to comment

b42ad Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This video is 1 minute long and she “fixes” her hair six times (and I’m fairly sure the very last frame is her reaching up to do it again). Like, WTF https://youtu.be/eMfWA0_usNI Link to comment

She needs to try harder though too, I agree. But she does sing live which is what she is known for. Britney is known for being an amazing, committed dancer. It would be better if she didn't dance at all than what she's doing right now. This video is sad to watch, she is all over the place and not in the same league as her backup dancers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BlNtAZsny67/?taken-by=britney.spears.moments Link to comment
portrait Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 7 hours ago, MikeLuvsBritney said: One thing I think might help her stop messing with her hair all the time is if she went back to having a tight neat pony tail like she did for a number of POM shows in the past and the Scream and Shout Remix video. Also maybe something like this style where her hair is down but pushed back in the front so again she's not constantly messing with it. i don't think this would help... she'd still touch her hair or replace it with a new nervous habit.
