Popular Post studlygeorge Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I haven’t seen a thread about this yet? BritneysGram posted on their story that they received a DM from someone who was working in the marketing team for Domination and they said Britney was advised not to speak per management/Larry and she was extremely upset the entire night. They talked about how they feared she wouldn’t come out of her dressing room. Thoughts? 7 3 Link to comment
Popular Post ZoneGirl Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hmm. Yeah, that's odd. And the NYT doc said she was supposed to perform that night, which was the first I'd heard of that. I only thought she was supposed to address the crowd. Would be nice to have more context around that. Like, why tf was she unable to talk exaclty? And did she not want to be there because of that/something related to all that or something else? 8 24 Link to comment
Popular Post PokemonSpears Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I don't understand the logic of Larry telling her not to speak, like what would've she said if she was upset? I think Britney is more professional than that. And we could see it when she was trying to greet the fans and sign their stuff (until that guy rushed her to the car), she didn't look super happy, but was still making an effort for the fans. 34 15 Link to comment
Popular Post studlygeorge Posted February 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I was always under the impression Britney didn’t speak that night because there were mic problems. Mario Lopez kept getting cut out and the audio had a slight delay. I figured they thought they should just try to get Britney on and off stage as quickly as possible to avoid doing an interview that would be plagued with mic problems. I guess not? Maybe she was threatening to say her show was inspired by freedom, ruptured colons, and lining other’s pockets 1 19 5 Link to comment
PokemonSpears Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Speaking of which, was James at the Announcement? I still don't understand when did the colon rupture happen (if at all). This happened on October 27, a few days after the announcement, and that's when we noticed he looked very thin According to the reports in January 2019, the issues happened two months earlier, that'd be around November. 2 2 Link to comment

If there was ever a performance planned (which I doubt) it must've been cancelled before the day of the announcement. As I've said on other threads, that stage didn't look like a stage to perform, and the people that was there were not her dancers. I wonder if she really was upset, maybe it had something to do with Kevin. That year is when he asked for an increase on his monthly pay 8 Link to comment
Popular Post CenterOfTheRing98 Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 It was cancelled the day of, as there’s footage out there of a stand-in doing a run through and learning what the new run-of-show (or lack there of) was going to be. There were several dancers there (off to the sides as you can see in that photo above), lighting, lots more than what we were given. The Ellen Degeneres appearance was also supposed to be more than that awkward “announcement of an announcement” - not a performance or anything like that - but from what I understand, B didn’t do the full moment as planned (which you can tell from Ellen’s reaction). Whether she just got excited/anxious and forgot or went rogue, who knows. I would love to believe the latter but it was most likely the former. 19 5 Link to comment

I've never seen that but those literally look nothing like dancers, you can see a bunch of those girls at the beginning of the livestream with the guy from Ellen show, they were just there clapping and posing and that stage is not for a performance, the platform could've barely had two more dancers besides Britney. It's literally just a staircase, and there was nothing else. And still, it looks too complex to have been something thought of a few hours before the show (if we are to believe the "performance" was cancelled that day, and they had to come up with something else) 9 Link to comment
Popular Post Anti-Hero Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 Seems like whatever the context was here was the last straw for Britney. 4 16 Link to comment
Popular Post Stannedforever Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 People always say it was Britney's decision to exit the stage and exit the whole event but did they even watch the stream? She's clearly told exactly what to do and who to talk by her security They point her to give autographs, then the guy tells exactly who to speak and who he is (the host guy whose name I forget). And then they take her to the car and the event is over. It looks like even the host is getting told in real time that she exits the event because he looks surprised. Maybe she originally was supposed to give a speech and talk to press but something happened behind the scenes that pissed team C so they just made her the careless diva villain of the situation. 8 15 Link to comment

The layout of the announcement didn’t have a place for a performance I agree, it was a Waterdown Dessert announcement, but in my opinion, Britney again just didn't seem into whatever her team planned, I guess that happens when you have no control, she was just told what to do, and that can be awkward, even when she is on top of the stairs and they had the mic issue, she looked so awkward, like she didn't know what she needed to do next 3 8 Link to comment
Popular Post PickleSpears Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I dunno, it's tough with Britney since 2008 bc we don't know what's what with the c-ship. "Framing" said she was gonna perform that night but she was never set to. She didn't seem upset to me - she was all smiles and waving to the crowd. She looked uncomfortable and awkward but that has been nothing new for 13 years. That's just how she's been since her breakdown. And yeah it was weird that she didn't talk at all but honestly at that point I wasn't surprised. Unfortunately a lot of Britney's appearances were let-downs. So it's just really hard to say. Obviously that was towards the beginning of her changing her mind about the c-ship if she cancelled Domination a few months later. But like I said, she looked very happy that night. 2 8 Link to comment

Do not always believe smiles on a TV or picture. Maybe she looked happy but real life the truth maybe is different. 7 4 Link to comment

If you look in the video where she was walking through the red carpet, you can see her many times reach her hand out to sign a fans poster or merch of her, but her security guards hold her back. There was a Britney fan whom wanted his Baby One More Time vinyl signed by Britney but when she went to sign it, her guards literally pushed the man aside. This was clearly Team Con's disgusting plan for all this BS allegedly . No doubt Britney was upset, she has always cared about her fans experiences except for those M&G experiences but we don't talk about them :demi: so obviously she would be so disappointed of how the whole event went with people just standing there and she didn't even say a word. 2 5 Link to comment
Popular Post dr35 Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm not sure why people are asking what she'd be upset about? How about announcing a new residency when she didn't want to, because she was still under her father's control, and literally being told what she was allowed to say. She probably told them she wasn't even going go do the announcement, so they took some photos and left. a few months later and she's checked into a facility. I'm not gonna say "this poor woman".... because Britney doesn't need people's pity. She's strong as hell. I'm just so ******* angry for her that stories like this have to keep coming out, yet nothing is changing. 4 16 Link to comment
jordeezy river red Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Britney seemed happy and into it in rehearsal videos so it's weird to think that she didn't want to do the show. Unless all of the Domination rehearsals we got were meant to be for POM 2.0 and were older than we thought idk 4 Link to comment
britneyluv Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The whole thing was a mess, starting with the Ellen appearance. We don't know what happened but I had seen her only a few months earlier in Atlantic City and she looked AMAZING. Literally I thought we were witnessing Prime Britney 2.0. The videos she was posting of the rehearsals looked like she was so excited to do something different, even though now we know something was going on behind the scenes. Also, everybody seems to gloss over the video of her backstage at Ellen where she goes "I'm scared" yet nobody noticed Ellen in the background screaming HOW DARE YOU? 4 1 Link to comment

I'm just so ******* angry for her that stories like this have to keep coming out, yet nothing is changing. the rehearsals hadn't even started at this point (the last Piece of Me Tour show happened a few days after the announcement), and in the rehearsal videos she seemed into it. I'm not saying we know everything about what was going on behind the scenes, but at this point at least, she seemed like she kept going with the flow as she was since the previous months (the summer tour). It still seems to me that the idea of pulling off the show was Jamie's, and only afterwards (the mental facility and all) was when Britney decided not to go back to perform. Remember that at the beginning it wasn't announced as cancelled but "postponed" so they pretended her to resume the show (or start it) at some point in the future. 4 Link to comment
