What are your thoughts on this Hold It Against Me rehearsal?

[Slayer]

I thought it was pretty good tbh!

 

[s&m]

[BanMeBoop]

It breaks my heart tbh  but she pulled through it and did her absolute best 

[britney_rocks]

Back then, I thought she just stopped giving a **** about her career, but knowing what we know now, Im amazed she got through 3 different eras when she was surrounded by leaches and drugged up. 

[Angelo Novlar]

The choreography itself it’s ok.. but I personally believe the rehearsals look better than the performance choreo-wise …

 

she’s a freaking strong woman for pulling all that off while being tortured the way we kinda know now 

[thebritmaster]

Sitting down during the Hold It bridge is just such an odd artistic choice I can’t get over it 

[Momney2018]

I think the outfits they put her in for this song did not help her movement. She definitely wasn’t feeling it throughout the era but she looks more comfortable in the pants here.

[IamMax]

I forgot about this rehearsal. She nailed the last choreo tbh. 

[dfffff]

At the time, I realized there was something wrong with Britney. She has changed terribly since 2010. At the time, I didn't realize much that it might have something to do with conservatorship. I was too young, I was 13/14 at the time.
Watching this performance/rehearsal now and knowing all this I know now, I am very proud of her, I am full of admiration that she fought so hard and tried to keep performing despite all the cruelty she had to endure every ******* day for the next 10 ******* years! 
Britney your power is huge!

Im not gonna lie though, this gif of her looking like they are about to throw her into the lion pit always cracks me up

[Oprah Winfrey.]

She did a great job here, and watched a few of her live performances of hold it against me and she slayyyyyed every friggen time in my opinion!

[Loosenupthosebuttons]

Poor thing - she looks so delayed in her movements.. like she’s always a bit slower than the music.
I know it’s the meds they had her on. High dosages of mood stabilizers do that to someone who doesn’t need them.. and even if she did need a mood stabilizer at that time, she should have been resting since mood stabilizers take A LOT out of you. They zap your energy.

[pablitonizer]

I prefer these outfits than the actual outfit in the live performance tbh 

 

Also this part of the song's bridge looks phenomenal in the rehearsal as they're saying "We got you, B" with their bodies, but on the live performance it's pretty much all covered by the fake fog. It's supposed to be a tiny fog effect, not a scene from 'The mist'  

 

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

I'll take this business casual look over the leotards

[BritneyLVR]

God bless her 

[handmedown]

Putting aside everything we now know she was going through, this is by far the worst choreography ever.  So unworthy of Britney Spears.  Perhaps forgivable if she were singing live as well but she’s not. And the outfits were so trashy, I’ll take that sweater she’s wearing here any day. 

[KrisJ]

She looks like she’s rather be anywhere else - drugged and forced on stage. The only cute thing was the little courtesy at the end 

[princessmimi]

I think it was pretty good considering her circumstances at the time.

For some reason she did better in the rehearsal than the actual performance

[breaktheiceofmrv]

Yeah yeah sure we all know the "off" things but i gotta say something about the chair part. I think i have a little ******* whenever i see it  It's so cool!

[SUPERJACK]

She’s a freaking savage, I stan and respect her more than ever.
