What do you guys think about the backup dancers?

[Funkmon]

Yeah. I was just thinking about it, and He Wasn't was probably the most movement she's ever done, and not because it was filmed at 2 or 3 speed, either.

So true! She needs to be running around the stage and jumping like she used to. Her award show performances are never as entertaining as her tour but if she's trying to make them more fun she should either dance (and I meen REALLY dance) or just focus on the singing and possibly playing the guitar. I liked her dancing in the Girlfriend video but then it just went blaaah! I don't understand why she even had to go with the dancing in the first place, it's not like anyone expects her to do that.

This made me laugh.

Damn, It makes me sad to remember those times! Seen the live concert at Buffalo? Damn! She jumped a lot and it was really funny. That's the Avril i really love!

Um I know, I am not dumb!!!!!

I said it was necessary for GF I never said they only dance for GF.

I just don't mind the dancers. It's what I think. They can dance on any song they want just as long as Avril's singing

Ok, sorry! I didn't mean to annoy anyone! I was just saying that i didn't like them and that if you were like "No, the dancers should be there because they are important for GF" i would not say they are unnecessary for GF but they are dancing during the whole concert. That's what i meant. It's ok if there are dancers for GF and HOT but i still think they are unnecessary.

And of course, their appearance is pathetic for some songs!

I don't want to see them dancing, i wanna see Avril jumping and running and showing us what she's got. That's what we all wanna see.

It's just my point of view.

Luck,
Paul

I don't like the background dancers at all at some of the songs it fit but not on tour that would be to far I just hope she sings alone that will be the best or I just focus on Avril then...

[GatorBait]

I really have no clue about this topic, I'll have to wait and see Avril live to say anything.

I think that should be rephrased to: "the NEW guy.. singing backup on Avril's songs sound horrible," Honestly, as ridicolous as some of the lyrics were for a boy to be singing.. Evan sounded beautiful with Avril's voice.


And as far as the dancers go, I don't like them. I see what she's doing and what she's aimimg for, so it's not complete nonsense in my mind, but I just haven't gotten used to it just yet.
