Alex Murr Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've always wonder what really happened with the Mannequim original choreo , why never saw the light, it was one of the best she has done since 2004 here she still had technique, was synchronized with the dancers and looked genuinely happy doing it and the original choreo of circus was great, oh God, why she never made it complete on any perfomance??? in the end she kills!!!

KrustyKrab Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The original Mannequin choreography was fire. I suspect the only reason she never performed it was because her anxiety was too high at the time. Why else wouldn't she want to slay the 2008 VMAs with an amazing comeback performance and prove all of the haters wrong? Link to comment
JeNny_C Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 That mannequin choreography...I will never get over it...ahhhmazzinnggg!!!! Link to comment
ItsBraydenBitch Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 One of the many mysteries that will plague the Britney Army for as long as we live and breathe. Link to comment
DignifiedLove Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Tbh, my guess is that at one point in time, Mannequin was supposed to be the lead over Womanizer and once the plans had changed, they just axed everything related to it. Why else would they master such intricate choreography? Oh well, another mystery for the books. Link to comment
SkinnyAsANeedle Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Britney had another breakdown during Femme Fatale and the second breakdown permanently destroyed her dancing ability. She could still dance during Circus but just didn't want to. Link to comment

This and original Make Me videos are my two biggest triggers! I’m thankful that they exist, but so sad we never got the whole thing for real. Link to comment
TylerTremallose Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 im gonna guess for the circus choreography.. could be two reasons the ringleader outfit didnt let her move much and the stage set up, as it was easier for her to walk around the giant circle and present to all sides Link to comment

I don’t understand why she slays during rehearsals but puts little to no effort during the live performances. She always missed steps or moved out of sync with the other dancers. I am starting to believe that she might have deliberately sabotaged herself by making her performances lackluster in order to spite her father and team, which is incredibly sad. Link to comment

Lurker93 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 hard to tell... Mannequin routine didn’t fit the whole “Circus” vibe the tour had. It’s a lot of connected steps that she would have to do quickly, and the routines for the tour were mostly “spaced out” so that she could move between the three stages so that everyone could see a bit of the numbers... and the fact that she mostly performed in heels in this era didn’t help. If she kept Andre and Wade along the era, it would probably be a lot more like DWAD than what we ended up having. Link to comment
BreeC Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I LOVE that Mannequin choreo, I was so excited to see her bring it on stage and then it never happened Link to comment

I mean it’s possible to do it but complex choreography can really damage your feet. She never wore heels in the dream within a dream tour...I don’t get why she kept doing it. Link to comment

Purely for visuals... She was trying (since the Onyx Hotel, when her stamina was already declining) to transition from teen performer to adult performer. Those old numbers where she used cheerleading outfits and sneakers were to be put behind... she had to aim the more mature image, with tighter outfits, and dance numbers that were supposed to be ****, not explosive as in her early days. The heels complemented this image. Link to comment
