1. Elaine Benes is her choreographer

"A full body dry heave set to music" is the description that comes to mind for most of her dancing in that dopey one-legged jumpsuit.

The stuff in the cage and on the stage is a lot more fluid and graceful and appealing to me... maybe I'm just showing my age.

3. That was my impression too - althought not so eloquently

:)

It seems a lot more jerky and robotic than some of her other efforts...

7. I'm not a big fan of women in cages, though

though, her dancing seems pretty good...

[question everything]

4. When she was on SNL several weeks ago, this was the first I saw her

and commented that besides gyration she did not appear to have any talents. And one response was that these gyrations are her talents..

:shrug:

5. She has an amazing singing voice.

She should focus on that talent instead of gyrating.

6. WHAT!!???

DO NOT TAKE AWAY SHAKIRAS BELLY DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. She may have an amazing voice,

but it's well-disguised under layers and layers of processing and Auto-Tune.

[question everything]

14. I just watched that video linked in the OP

and all I could hear was heavy electronics. She certainly was not singing, her lips (in her face) were not moving.

I am old fashioned: I like entertainers to actually have talent and to be able to carry a tune without the help of heavy electronics. Joan Baez and Judy Collins come to mind.

11. she has a lovely voice and is a great bellydancer. some of her talent was lost

anglicizing her

8. Well, that what you get for dancing in a giant vagina made of jewels.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. i think she is channeling beyonce. i have preffered her other stuff

[Brickbat]

12. I have to say, one reason I really like her is that she always looks like she's having a lot of fun

when she performs. That seems to really come through.

13. Not so much

Watched it sans sound. Perhaps that makes some sort of primal brain difference, but I found that to be boring and completely not sexy. So.. perhaps "beyond" sexy is correct. What comes after you have passed sexy by and moved on to something else?

15. Nothing here I can enjoy.

I watched up to 1:36 minutes. That's all I could take. :shrug:

So much of pop culture really is entirely devoid of any substance at all.

16. I posted this last weekend

and said the same thing, but people disagreed! Yeah, I think it's sexy as hell. :D
