[2004] Who Do You Think Is the 'Dancing Queen' of J-POP ?
 

:yes

BoA kicks everones butt when it comes to dancing.....But Namie and KOda are reallu good to.

NAMIE AMURO!!

Namie is the unquestionable Dance Queen in Jpop. She never looks stiff in her dancing, and her choreography always looks great. Not to mention the fact that she can sing AND dance at the same time without going off-key. When I say sing, I don't mean just 1 song, i mean like, a WHOLE concert, that's over and hour. If anyone needs proof, i'll upload some ASAP.

*Please no-one post about the Korean concerts, her singing was horrible in those, but take in consideration she'd been touring for 5 months. That means she was singing and dancing 4-5 times a week for more than 1 hour in each of them. That can really strain your voice, as can be also seen the X-tina's cancelation of some of her final concert dates also.*

I voted for BoA, but when I think about it, Koda Kumi pwns here easily. Namie is possibly even hotter.

Technically:

1. BoA
2. Namie
3. Koda Kumi

Flawlessly:

1. Namie
2. BoA
3. Koda Kumi

Hot:

1. Koda Kumi
2. Namie
3. BoA

boa ^^

Namie. I guess Koda Kumi might be good, but she never does lives so it's pretty hard to judge. And BoA's dancing has severly gone downhill in recent years. Namie is definitely the best, and most comfortable at it.

NAMIE

Namie is the best :luv2

Namie :yes

Namie... BoA's dance moves are more simple I think... And she can't really sing while she's doing it...

Ayumi.

lol...are you serious?

As much as I love Koda Kumi...I think Namie is the best dancer!

Namie hands down.

Namie, I never get bored watching her.

Namienamienamie.

lol.. I voted for not sure ^.^*** I haven't seen Namie dance, but now I want to..

Namie!

I'm going with namie

Definately Namie! She kicks everyone else's butt when it is about dancing!

Everyone knows who I voted for.

Namie. She's possibly the best dancer I've ever seen let alone out of those thee. BoA is okay...I've only seen Koda dance once, but she was pretty good...

I never get tired watching her dance in the Put Em' Up video. :yes

Namie knows how to pop it!

wtf happened to morning musume they are the best dancers because they know how to spaz the best.....well yeah...you shold put them up too lol

I voted for Namie because her dancing is awesome. BoA is good too, but not as good as Namie.

i can only picture them as hyperactive monkeys dancing and jumping all around the stage non-stop....what a mess imo (no offense^_^;)

Just got my copy of Namie's SO CRAZY tour DVD. And this only confirmed Namie-chan's incredible skills.

I voted Namie, far above the others.

Namie Namie Namie
her dance in "the SPEED star" is soooooo coooooooool

not sure... but wheres ayumi?

guess ayu can't dance lol

namie

All three of them are good, I believe all three of them can dance as well depending on whether the dance steps are designed well or not^^

Namie! She can dance AND sing (woot!) ... And her movements aren't as...how do I say it? ... unnatural as Boa can be sometimes. Boa sometimes looks like she's not really into the dancing, but Namie is always genki when she dances.

o.0 never seen Koda dance...

namie 100%. I've only seen like 2 of her lives though, so I'm not sure if she's a great dancer live. If anyone could maybe send me some videos of her lives with dances, I would TOTALLY appreciate it.

That's easy, Namie of course!!

Ayu doesn't really dance she just bobs around on the stage.

I haven't seen Koda dance, but for Namie it's an almost-every-live-performance deal if not every.. I'm not entirely sure.

Definately Namie. :yes

Aiuchi Rina.

boa dancing moves are absolutely nonsense XD

namie rocks !!!

namie!!! forever

bobs...XD

she shoudl just not dance..it looks kinda..dumb..><

I haven't seen Namie's dance moves yet only listened to her music but would love to see her moves, but so far I'm gonna go with BoA :)

Namie is the best !!!! her dance techniques beats the rest, she has skills equal to ppl in TRF who are like the best choreographers in asia at the moment. Boa's dancing is ok but her moves are really simple ad not much change. Kumi is just really sexy when she dances but her dancing doesnt have much technique.

namie

i put no sure...but BoA doesn't really count...does she?

My vote goes to Namie! She's comfortable with her dancing and most importantly, the ATTITUDE! Haha, go Namie!

BoA ... she just seems to be trying too hard to perfect her moves ... well, she's not really showing the attitude and she's just maybe trying a bit too hard. Her dance moves are cool but they don't look as if she's really shrugging that attitude.

Koda is ok with me, but then haha, are you serious she can dance? I think her best dance was in real Emotion, obviously duh?!, cuz Yuna looks a whole lot better with that dance in FFX-2 :p and her Crazy 4 U? Mm .. that wasn't really like a whole lot of dancing, and then comes chase, which also didn't have a lot of dancing, so I'm not really going with her as the dancing girl.

And last of all ... Ayumi? Erm ... yar, can dance, but again same problem with BoA, the attitude's not really coming out, just trying too hard to appease your choreographers ... But the visuals are a sure bonus ...

BoA

YESSS! Go BoA!!!!!

xD

BoA just swings her arms and legs when she dances, sorry BoA fans,but she looks scary when her hair puffs and flies all over the place.

NAMIE!!her moves is smooooooooooooth :D

YESSS! Go Namie!!!!

xD

Namie's dancing is so incredibly overrated at this point. I would've voted for her in her Concentration 20/Genius 2000 era, but now her dancing is uninspired and on a technical level [I'm a dance student], awful.

BoA is a good dancer technically, although her abilities vary from live to live. She has some absolutely amazing Korean performances.

I like Ayu's dancing because it's not the same old same old jazz dance. Her performance in ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 on the dance break in Real Me particularly impressed me, and upped the expectations for her future choreography.

Kumi's dancing is amazing. She has excellent rhythm and far more style/attitude, in my opinion, than Namie does currently [although in the past I would've, again, preferred Namie]. Trust Your Love comes to mind and blows it.

I am personally going to vote for MAX, though.

Namie makes up for her lack of assets [or so everyone says, heh] with her awesome dancing skills. Seriously...in like most of her PVs/live performances, she's dancing!

its utada hikaru hands down. :cool

Namie Amuro of course!

NAMIE AMURO!

either BoA or namie, but i chose BoA

What about Hitomi Shimatani? :(
lol I don't know why people thinks she can't dance, I think she dance's very well. lol
I'd have to go with Namie Amuro though. lol

Namie :yes no doubt about it

BoA. Her dancing skills just keep on improving and she doesn't seem she's going to stop improving either.

I'm hesitating between BoA and Namie.. I'm impressed a lot by BoA's dancing lately so she's my pick.

i voted for Namie...i like her style better...
but it was a tie for me b/w her and BoA<--i mean, she can dance really good! But it gets boring for me whenever i'm watching her PVs..
i also think that namie has a better body than BoA, especially for a 28-yr-old..!

I have Namie's "Genius 2000" and "So Crazy" tour DVDs and I don't like her dancing really. It's very typical "teen idol"-ish dancing. Nothing very original. She does do better, sexier, and more natural dancing in her latest videos, but I think Koda Kumi is much more flexible and talented!

Just watch Kumi in "SHAKE IT" and "Candy"... wow! She's so flexible and her moves are hot and convincing.

koda kumi.. anyone watch her limited tour? she dances incredibly well during lives.. which she hadn't really shown off before.. she definitely has some hidden talent she doesn't show off much.

namie can dance non-stop!! and i like her mature look when she dances. awesome.

Of course Namie!

Namie Amuro!!

Namie Amuro. She's a natural dancer.

BoA is too pop-ish and Koda is either weird or just too much...

BoA enough said

i would say, namie, boa and koda

Namie no doubts.

I vote Namie. She has always been a great dancer. No one can top her.

Namie!!!!!! She just looks natural when she dances.

amuro namie!!!

namie got my vote, I would have voted for BoA if the style was kinda like Valenti (I really loved that dance) but Namie has better dancing I cant stop watching Shine More & Uh Uh ... Feat Ai

Kumi's dancing is very simple but i really like it

BoA though I haven't really seen others.
To be conviced of her dancing brilliance watch the GoT OTT (Girls on Top Over the top) performance.

Namie. Hands Down.

BoA, for sure... even though she shows more of her dance power in Korea.

Well, the 'dancing king' of J-Pop IMO is Daichi Miura, however, as this is only females...

I was going to say BoA at first, but after stopping and thinking for a moment, I've got to say Namie instead. :yes

What did u think about the chaged ur mind?

i put koda for da "SHAKE IT" vid :D
lookin4ward2 gettin da BEST~second session~ live dvd 2c how well she manages2perform durin that (sucks majorly she doesnt sing SHAKE IT@dat concert thou :( )

Namie! I love her So Crazy Tour^^ Koda Kumi looks really hot...but she always only screaming something and sings very less...

Ayumi's dancing is the best...Just kidding!

I think Namie is the best. Her concerts are amazing, all of the dancing and singing she does is high quality! You'd expect her to fall down dead but she just keeps on dancing and singing! I really like her choreography too, the dances appeal to me, but Koda Kumi's moves sometimes are fun to watch too.

Right now I'd say BoA, but I'd like to see more of Namie's dances.

namie's dance is more decent and it's more targeted to masa... than koda's are for guys onyl cos she dance sexy and boa.. i dunno she dance is good.. but her moves were obvious it's very choreography dance.. namie's move are smooth you won't even tell if she had mistake on her dances

Namie Amuro have to be the one :D

I'd say Namie too, her moves are waay more sensual than the rest combined. Though I must say they aren't too bad either.

I think Namie has more of the body for dancing anyway....tall and lean.

BoA!!

Namie!!!!!!!

Namie I guess,,
:yes

Boa on technicality but honestly i like namies dancing best because she puts her own personality in it you would know what i'm talking about if you saw her so crazy tour Koda isnt bad either whith a little more practice she could do some really good moves like in her hot stuff video

*Agrees

Yes, she rocks at dancing especially in Korean lives because she lipsynchs in practically every of them. I didn't know this until my fren kept forcing me to watch BoA videos; and she told it's not a big deal that they aren't singing live. Most Korean singers dance real powerful and they don't sing live and the fans don't mind.

NAMIE AMURO!

(BoA 2nd, Koda Kumi 3rd)

Namie. BoA only can dance well and full out when she is lip synching. When she is singing live, her dance ability noticeably suffers. Whereas Namie does not lip sync and her dance ability is still great. (especially if you watch her performances between 93-96) She's still great now too though.

hehe, MM DOES have some really good individual dancers though such as Takahashi Ai(former ballet dancer), Rika Ishikawa, Maki Goto, and Risa Niigaki(I saw MM live recently and Risa's dancing definitely stood out) to name a few. I would have easily put any of those on the list as well.

I say Kumi. All her dances are really hot! and the No Regret and real Emotion dances are amazing and Butterfly is :luv2!!
