This is not the thread for draggers and haters.

We all know that Britney Spears is a fxcking legend in giving performances back then. Now, she is a shadow of her former self. How can someone who has been performing since she was a kid, a well-accomplished gymnasts and dancer just suddenly go from being the arguably the best pop dancer of her generation to performing like a wooden pensioner like she's a completely different person.

Theories of her demise:

1. Knee Injury - Maybe this is true but even her ARM movements are lackluster now. That's far from the knee
2. Lost of confidence - She is choking (psychological term, google it).
3. Meds

The pop scene is boring with all these lackluster and too-gimmicky performances I can't name anyone aside from Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Ciara (but the latter lacks commercial attention) who can perform amazingly. Britney would have still be the QUEEN if she performs like post-blackout Britney!

Oh, I am too tired for this. Hopefully when this page refreshes, there will be a few Britney stans in here.

She just needs her confidence back I think

You know that won't do it

I think she can.

Well she hasn't in god knows long, and she most certainly isn't getting any younger, so what makes you think she'd ever be able to?

Personally I'd say no. But in all honesty, she has room to improve. It's like she's being lazy. Well, sometimes. Based on her FFT performances, we see her sometimes being amazing and sometimes being lackluster. If next era she wouldn't improve, I'm done wishing Danceney to comeback.

I love Britney but no. She'll clearly never dance like she did on say the DWAD tour. I think her choreographer's just make it so damn easy for her but I do think it is harder for her to do AS much hardcore stuff as she used to not just with age but with her knee injuries. I think people don't really take that into consideration, that really hinders dancers. She still has the stage presence but she needs to be challenged more.

It's weird because the breakdown in the Circus video SLAYED yet she never did it fully live (she only did about half of it when she performed on GMA and cut it out completely on tour) and none of the choreography since then on stage has been nearly as good. Why doesn't she bring it to the stage more?

She needs confidence. She holds back. You can tell she is over thinking and feels self conscious.

You can't just forget how to dance. If she works at it for real and puts in her all she'd be fine. She also, as much as I love her, clearly can't handle herself in heels No, they're not the entire reason, but anything helps. She still has the stage presence, which would be the only thing that she COULDN'T fix.

With Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez still ******** the stage at their 40's why can't Britney? Like the other poster said, you can't just suddenly lose a skill (dancing, drawing etc.)

Circus is the last Danceney video we had IMO..

We all know why.

I'll answer in SYG if I must.
