View Full Version : Pantomime at All Time High - Quirky Fun or Too Much?

So I've noticed this over the past few tours. It started out pretty light and cute on the SYW tour, Unleashed it grew a little but still not really all too noticeable, 2013 it was blatantly apparent and now it's at an all time high. I just finished watching a video of Gypsy from Charlotte and I could've sworn there is now an official dance routine to Gypsy.

Thus I ask; is the pantomime stuff getting to be a little too much? I mean, we all know Stevie likes her dramatics but c'mon.... this is almost at a silly level now. On the flip side of the coin, no matter what 'drama' is going on in the band, at least she's seemingly having a hell of a lot of fun doing her songs up there.

Discuss.

That's pretty funny. It's only a problem when the gestures get distracting, which I think they did a bit for FWIW on her solo tour. With FM, I don't think it's so bad. I remember the lasso fondly.

I find the pantomime detracts a lot from the intended impact of the songs, making them seem like a parody of themselves. Knock it off, Stevie.

I sound like an outcast here but I love to see her do this.I love the hand movements and her dancing.I rather see her do something then just stand there like a boob in one place.If she had an instrument like Chris,Lindsey,Mick and John .She has no choice to stay put.

With the steering wheel and the knocking on FWIW it did get a little out of hand.

I would always just laugh and say I wanted her to pantomine Wide Sargasso Sea, the part where she says, the only thing they did was to make love. That really needs some choreography!
