It looks like Em doesn't have fun anymore while performing.

[RainMan44]

It looks like he's not having fun up on stage anymore...like, he's being forced to perform or something.

Just watch this video and compare it to his performances of today (which are not in any way bad performances...I'm just talking about him having fun)

While performing there, he looks into the crowd with crazy faces, shakes his head in different ways, look back at Proof and shit, takes weird steps that change with the rhythm of each song, rotates his arms/hands in crazy ways, and is just making a ton of eye contact with the fans..now, he seems to have "no emotion whatsoever so" lol...always got that same expression on his face...he's just...not having fun anymore (from what I see). Simple as that.



BTW, I am NOT saying his performances now are bad...he has a TON of energy..I saw him live last September 2010, first row, and it was the greatest day of my life. One of the best performances I have ever seen. This thread is just strictly about him having fun now.


Thoughts?

He changed you ether get over it or not. Hes not same person any more. I will always like 1998-2001 eminem most.

Its drugs and proof's death that changed him so much.

[slimshadylappin]

I think not having Proof on stage with him makes him sad

He just doesn't seem happy with most of Recovery anyways. His interviews/performances during Relapse era were full of life and charisma but now it's kinda dragged out. He achieved his goal on owning the world again, now it's time to get to the shady business again.

Amen?

Em is the same guy.

He looks the same. (8 Mile)
He has the same personality / humour.
He still makes good music.
He performs amazing vocally.

Sure he could use a little more "excitement" during his shows, based off his body language, but that's just how the "mature Eminem" is. I'm sure he has fun or he wouldn't have bothered coming back at all.

He is older, he does no drugs anymore. He now acts kinda seriously. You just gotta look in his face, his expression. He presses his eyes, he's tense. Sometimes he forgets about it, and you see the old Eminem. So he is still the funny guy, but he doesn't wanna show.

what this says

[AJS2050]

All the songs his releasing as singles & performing on Recovery are serious songs. I would've liked to see WTP or So Bad released. I can't believe i slept on those songs for so long.

i cant get used to recovery, the lyrics are brillant but its the production i hate. see if they were all em beats or dre /porter ect, it would have been such a better album. but all the beats are just meh.

If you think all the beats are meh then you didn't like On Fire and So Bad cause they were produced by Mr Poter and Dre.

He's definitely not forced to perform but yes, his performances has been lacklustre.
