Why is Stevie so absent on stage?

[twinmatrix]

I saw her live for the first time yesterday and was kinda disappointed / surprised by her lack of crowd interaction and crowd contact?

She seems to constantly focus on some points in the distance above the crowd. And when she does look into the crowd it's not actually "at" anyone, she just kinda stares into the distance.

Her performance is amazing and very gracious but it's pretty much like watching a DVD. She does a little wave at the audience during Go Your Own Way but even then it's more like an absent gesture, and it looks like she'd rather be sitting at home watching TV.

Is this supposed to be part of her "act"? Does she have stage fright? Is she bored of touring?

Also why does she waggle around so much like a penguin? Watching clips before I thought it was the high heels but seeing it in person makes me think she has some kind of issue with her joints.

Honestly after this concert I feel kind of disconnected from her as a person. I'm not one of those crazy fans who wants to be "recognized by their artist" but I felt like she didn't care about anyone at all. I went there intending to give her my support and yell stuff like 24 KARAT GOLD to know she has fans of her solo career but I wound up enjoying CHRISTINE the most and cheering her on lol. She's such a sweet awesome lady. I don't think my dad enjoyed Stevie either. He called her "cranky" lol. But well, he's a Lindsey fan.

Hell, even MADONNA has more crowd contact than Stevie and Madonna is supposed to be this untouchable diva bitch who has everything rehearsed down to the last second.

Having said that, Landslide was my highlight of the concert and far better and more emotional live than I could've imagined.
