I have some of the old videos of my performances on it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've realized that I can do performances.
All the things I do in my videos - the jumps, twirls and back bends - will also be onstage.
I love watching live shows from different artists from different stages of their lives. I'm always interested in the mastery of the live performance.
I can't imagine how many first performances I've done, perhaps 500. Some of them have been very good, and some of course very bad.
I just want people to focus on the performance.
I look at old performance videos now, and it's really funny - I thought I was such a gangster!
Before there were any sort of 'recordings' there was performance. If we are devolved back to the Stone Age tomorrow, there will be performance.
Music is about the performance.
Lots of people I know have bootlegged tapes of performances and if they play it I will be transported back sometimes with happiness, sometimes with horror.
We didn't have music videos. You weren't an overnight sensation. You had to work at it and learn your craft: how to take care of your voice, how to pace your concerts, all that trial and error.
