a question on stage fright
On the brink of our second world tour, I've been thinking a lot about what went well and what didn't for the last one. In retrospect and thinking holistically, I feel that we did well, but there was an extra element missing for some of the shows that for a while, I couldn't quite place. I monitored every performance, as per usual, and eventually it hit me: We weren't nervous. We felt so comfortable on stage in moments that honestly, we shouldn't have ㅋㅋ I mean, when you're performing in an arena with thousands of people in a country you've never been to, surely you should feel nervous, right? But it didn't feel like that type of energy was there.
That might seem backwards to a lot of you, but I truly feel that nerves are such an essential part of a good performance. It feels more authentic, that way. Sincere, I suppose.
Now I don't mean to sound vain in the slightest, but I believe that the success of my performances for 27 was so much higher than Another Me is attributed to the fact that I was nervous as hell ㅋㅋㅋ Terrified, even. Riding the coattails of a pretty embarrassing flop, I had a lot at stake. But I think those nerves and that stage fright contributed to performances that were just flat-out better.
What're your thoughts? For the more seasoned performers: Do you still get nervous on stage? And for those who are fresher meat: Do you think your nerves create better performances, or do you hope for them to subside?
I'd like to hear.
