yes. she is the best but i voted for namie

I would definitely have to say Namie. Kuu is a pretty good dancer, but it's usually less complicated dances than Namie's and she can't quite maintain her voice the same way Namie can while doing it.

Hells yeah! Namie wins

[nemesisyume]

Namie! love her dancing

[2Hurt]

Namie

[KumiKuu]

Koda Kumi.She has more energy and she has more elastic body.

[TeamAyu2004]

Koda!

[Earth_maiden]

I love them both, but I've loved Kuu for longer.

[calltome]

Namie is a better dancer!! Kuu just brushes over the moves. Namie's dance routines are real hard core dancing. Even though namie is motionless when dancing which is boring. I prefer to watch kumi on stage!! She's fun!!

[dhika712]

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?

[dhika712]

^Oh really...? I should see some of her performances before i say anything. Any videos on youtube that show her dancing skills? can make a link please? ^_^

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

[dhika712]

^Ok, will do.

[dhika712]

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!

Koda Kumi ...... her dances in her PVs and Tours are really good!!

yes Koda can .... she performes lots, if not most, of her dances in heels/high heel boots

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 she sings live in Japan... but in Korea, dance training is basically like oxygen for you...
So she's had more training with dancing...

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 was trying to find an excuse to bring that up in this thread.
the ningyo hime performance was wicked!


also. i think namie amuro is an alien.
i dont vote for aliens.

[Cloudsoldier]

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...
