Stevie 2003/2004 vs. Lindsey 2003/2004 (who, I agree, acted like a spazzed out child having epileptic seizures). If the both of them had acted like that on stage, they would have looked ridiculous.
In Vegas, Stevie had a lot of energy. I think she might possibly have held back a lot with FM during SYW for the sake of Lindsey taking the spotlight. Mind you, he went over the top with that spotlight, but still.. I really don't know if he does eat too much chocolate, drinks 10 cups of coffee a day or is just naturally hyper, but in taped shows I've seen from earlier days, he wasn't nearly that crazed.
The one thing I wish Stevie would do with FM is to be more interactive with the audience. I really don't give a sh*t if she can do the high kicks anymore, but it would be nice if she acknowledged the crowd a little more. That's my only constructive piece of advice for her. Otherwise, I thought her performances rocked. If someday she gets out there and does the splits for us, well, I'll be even happier.  |
Lindsey does seem hyper sometimes on stage (just these last few years though) but in all the interviews he seemed soooooo boring! All he knows how to say is "we are more spontaneous then ever" and he never smiles or jokes around or anything. I found that a little strange.... Maybe he brings an espresso maker with him and has a dozen shots before each show, because when he is not performing he seems tired and not very fun...
One thing I found interesting- at that award show a few years ago when FM won for favorite band, the host made some joke about how they were old! Stevie was rolling on the floor she thought it was so funny and Lindsey just sat there and didn't even crack a smile. That is a shinning example of the difference between Stevie and Lindsey in interviews. Of course, it was a different story when they were actually performing live. Lindsey was the manic one.
