don't forget that namie also uses boots in some of her dance performances, although the moves are pretty limited. i wonder if Koda Kumi can do the same?

ermmmmmm well it would take REALLY long to do that =P If you can find a link of "Hot Stuff" from either "LIVE TOUR 2005" or "LIVE TOUR 2006-2007" they're both quite similar

i like both dancer..

but i will give more vote to Namie..

I always love her dances. its so COOL~

plus. Ku's dancing in concert seems anyhow compared to her PV version. I admit her PV version of dance is so much more cool. In her concert she did it halfway, or not properly..

Namie can dance and sing all the way. and her dancing is perfect, exactly the same in the PV...

I like both dancers but Kuu ftw! =D
I like her energy with her dances.. although she doesn't dance all the time, but when she does its really good! =D though its starting to decrease.. but its still good! =D
And I like the fact she tries different styles of dancing...

Namie's good too.. but I dunno... dancing exactly like the PV all the time is boring.. sometimes a bit of variety is nice..
Plus shes always so emotionless....

And please don't mention BoA... she lipsyncs like there's no tomorrow...
Yeah she sings live in Japan... but in Korea, dance training is basically like oxygen for you...
So she's had more training with dancing...

But Namie's aren't just boots, they are stiletto heeled boots and I may be wrong, but in the performances I've seen of Kuu in heels, the dancing has been fairly limited.

Yeah, I agree with that. I've seen BoA live and her dancing is only good when she is lip synching.

watch Hot Stuff performances from either ~first things~ or ~second session~ tour

she's wearing riduculous stilhetto heels, and she still does that crazy jump where she kicks her feet back and up almost to her elbows.
and she does sing while doing it.

I can't stand her more recent PVs. She's boring to watch. She might be better live ... but I think that the voting should ecompass both PVs and live performances, not just live performances.



P.S: I'm tired and cranky.

Damn. I love Namie she been dancing for a while and she can dance her culo off. But Koda Kumi is more flexable with her dances. I can't choose because Kumi is more flexable but Namie has more move and could sing/dance at the same time.

As much as I love Namie, that certain trait was very off-putting when I first go into her. Not so much anymore though.

But I can't really choose whose the better dancer because I don't really concentrate on their dancing in PV's/performances that much unless it's REALLY good or an obvious hot mess.

dancing in heels is part of the industry...
and boots are better for dancing in...
if you wear just heels, they gotta have support otherwise they'll fall off or whatever...

thats why I respect Namie and Kuu and the other singers who dance in heels..
Most do dance in heels.. but some can't...

about Namie being emotionless when performing some of her songs in lives or PVs...if u pay attention in her recent tours (space of hip pop or live style), she always smiles in her old songs, such as don't wanna cry, chase the chance, body feels exit and Can you celebrate?, while she doesn't smile when performing her newer songs. I think this is because she is trying to project this image of a cool, tough artist that suits her new music. But she still smiles when she performs her earlier songs!

They have totally two different styles of dancing.
Namie's dances are more,...soft and laid-back. She don't pull a lot of breath-spending moves but she still manages to make her dances look catchy (like SO CRAZY, CSCEIS, & Put 'Em Up dances, just to name a few). Thus, she manages to sing and dance at the same time and afaik, rarely use backing track.
This is opposed to Kumi. She dances with lots of energy, gave it a lot of variations, jumping and all. Unfortunately, due to this, she uses backing track a lot when dancing.


As I appreciate performer who can dance and sing at the same time, I'd go with Namie Amuro.

Kuu! Not that Namie isn't good at dancing, but Kuu just has better dances.

But then again: I feel like Kuu can't really sing that good while she's dancing and that is something Namie can!

guys, watch this performance by Namie-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_UxhvAM6G...elated&search=

this proves 3 things:
-She DOES smile in some of her performances (namely performances from of her old songs, in this case You're My Sunshine[1996]) on 2:08

-She can show some POWERFUL dances moves (3:09 to 3:22)

-She can perform extremely well vocally right after her dancing (after 3:24)

This is arguably one for her best live performances. i guess u can tell i'm her big fan haha

Namie Amuro is a better dancer. ;3 She can sing and dance for many consecutive songs in a concert, and that is an amazing skill. Koda however just forgets to sing when she is dancing.. so I pick Namie. XD
