Review Journal on julkaissut tuoreen haastattelun, jossa selviää että Britneytä pyydettiin Vegasiin jo neljä vuotta sitten. Pitkässä jutussa hän kertoo myös muun muassa sen, että kilpailee jatkuvasti oman menneisyytensä ja saavutuksiensa kanssa.
You may call her Brit, Britters, Brit-Brit or, as her new album title suggests, Britney Jean.
By whatever name, the pop superstar says the Britney Spears we see onstage is “a character” that has to be maintained and sustained.
“Know what it is? It’s kind of like meditation and like a prayer. When you do any type of performance that you do and really feel the character,” says Spears, who unveils her two-year resident show “Piece of Me” on Friday at Planet Hollywood Resort.
“It’s why we do what we do because we love doing that. I think artists get off on that,” she added. “It’s really fun when you find it and you go there. That’s when you have your best performances. It’s something that I strive for every day.”
In a brief phone interview last week, Spears said it takes a lot of training to be the pop princess everyone knows.
“With the lights and stuff onstage, it adds a couple of extra pounds,” she explained. “I’m just really working on my posture and holding myself right, because a lot of that has to do with the way you present yourself. And when you do that, things look really, really good.
“But like halfway through the show, you kind of lose your train of thought and you kind of let yourself go and you let it all out and then you don’t look as good. It’s about having a consistency with your character throughout the show. Keeping that character. Which is actually a little bit harder than what you think when you have so much going on.”
