how the fuck is beyonce before ciara i think even j-lo shouldve been before her and missy elliot wtf half these people arent even really considered good dancers at all whoever put that list together mustve been on crack or forgot thier meds or somthing.

where’s aaliyah? she was a FABULOUS dancer.

how did shakira make the list? she doesnt even get played on bet.

I am not the biggest ciara fan but the girl is a phenomenal dancer. Beyonce just girates all over the place.

WOW… HOW did Alvin Ailey come between Usher & Jennifer Lopez???

They can dance but NOT like Alvin Ailey, he was in his own league.

Who is responsible for coming up with this list??

And Why ain’t Fatima Robinson on it?????????

Is this for entertainers ONLY? Cuz i wouldn’t consider Rosie Perez one…

……i’m just sooooo CONFUSED…….

All I know is that they forgot all about Ginuwine. I know we hadn’t heard from him in a while but damn.

Why did they place Gregory Hines at 21? He was a great dancer too. What about Sammy Davis Jr? Josephine Baker? Katherine Dunham? Alvin Ailey? Geoffrey Holder? I mean if they put the Nicholas Brothers there, they could have put the other old schoolers up too. Wasn’t the list for the greatest dancers of ALL TIME?

I do agree with you too @ #74,now that I think about it. The majority of the core audience has no idea of who those people are. Disregard my angst.

Oops..I didn’t mean to put A. Ailey there. I meant Bill Bojangles Robinson.

the list is bull****!!
chris brown before janet and usher? that’s unbelievable!!
and why the hell is Diddy on the list? he can’t dance! ciara at #25? wow bet, you lost all respect!

I do not agree with Ciara being number 25. She is very innovative, she should have been above Jennifer Lopez, Diddy, hell half the list.

wow bet really messed up this time!!!4 real n if i cud go on 106 n show how mad i am……..that’ill be great!!! but its just a damn list….maybe if a proper network like MTV made a list like this it wud be much beta n sensible!!!!!!

am talkin bout ciara #25 wtf wtf n wtf n did i meantion wtf
wait,,,,if diddy made the list wot about pharell,snoop doogg….those other dancin rappers.??

if beyonce is #9 wot bout christina millian?

if chrisbrown made #4 wat bout justin timbalake(aint even in d list)???????????? all i can say is BET MESSED UP…………….!!

What Diddy does is not dancing! and how can you have a group listed and not have New Edition? Then go on and not have Mya, and Ginuine, but have Missy and Diddy!?!?!? This is how Black folk end up not supporting BET type shows, due to them being inaccurate and biased to popularity!

The list is lies and bullshit! For whoever said Janet should have been number 25 is clearly dumb and has no say what so ever! I cant believe that shakira was on the list that chick on shakes her ass EVERY video and diddy? smh! Umm Michael=1 Janet=2 Aaliyah=3 James Brown=4 and the rest can be voted upon but if we can put a list together how can we leave brandy off she shouldve atleast got the 24th spot and mya and amerie? come on now lets be real!

WHERE IS MYA? BET has no respect. HOW MYA WASN’T ON THAT LIST? She should have been either where JLO was or Shakia. And Ciara’s spot had to be a typo. She shouldn’t have started that list off Missy should have. Aaliyah and Usher should have been in the top 10.

My only problem with the list was that Ciara was at no. 25 and I felt her and Beyonce should’ve traded spots. I’m not feeling how they put Chris Brown so high up he should’ve been top 15. WTF @ Diddy and Missy? Why are they even being considered dancers?

This is the way the list should have been….
Debbie Allen, Paula Abdul, Micheal and Janet Jackson, James Brown, Gregory Hines, The Nicholas Brothas, Alvin Ally,Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson, Cab Calloway, Josephine Baker, Prince, Sammy Davis Jr., Fatima Robinson, Big Lez….Savion Glover, MC Hammer sorry you gots to give him his props…that man would dance until he got on stage until he got off and no one can’t say that back in the day peeps wasn’t trying to get his moves down….lol Darrin DeWitt Henson cause that brotha made it possible for Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears dancing…on beat….lol Ciara has to be on there…cause she is a great dancer, Chris Brown has to be on there cause he’s a great dancer! I know I’m leaving some people out….but all the people that was listed all deserve to be on the countdown cause they either have the natural talent for dance or they studied dance…..That’s the difference you are either a skilled dancer or you have the natural talent…people like Omarion, Usher, Marques Houston, Ne-Yo Aaliyah….they can just dance and follow routines real well…Beyonce I’m sorry she don’t dance she just shake and pop it…..that’s it..

People under the age of 21 must have voted/created this piece of s**t…There is NO way that Chris Brown should be that high up on the list. He hasn’t paid enough dues! Number 4?! COME ON!!! How are Alvin Ailey and Gregory Hines so far down on the list? That show needs to be pulled off the air.

They are not popular or new to BET’s “mature” viewers.
BET is Coon Central.

Come on now,Ciara #25. & How did Beyonce even get on the list.

@44

He was saying that Amerie and Diddy can’t dance. And uhh…neither can Beyawnce her ass dances like a retarded monkey.

#1.Ciara dances her damn heart out! and BET put her ass at number 25?????????? If this was a singing list then I’d accept that but this girl is the queen of dancing today and both her albums have been successful based just on that.

#2. WHAT IN THE DAMMIT ALL HELL IS CHRIS “F-CKING” BROWN AT number 4???????? He can dance and everything but……he has only had one album….4 or so videos and the dancing in them sure didn’t wow me at all. BET be riding Chris’ coattails to damn often just to please these little chillren who be watchin this wack network.

#3. DIDDY, BIG DADDY KANE, MISSY, BEYONCE????????? Not naw one of them can dance…Diddy, Missy and Beyonce especially. Did you see Diddy dancing in that “Come To Me” video….Get the f-ck outta here!! He looked a damn mess. Beyonce knows only one dance and that is that booty bounce thing and hell! Me and all the other women on CL can do dat!

BET……YOU HAVE BEEN CANCELED!!!

Hell naw! I went back and looked at the list again Beyonce is listed before a man who has a F’n dance school named after him. IN the famous words of Remy MA Whateva, Whateva

BEYONCE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST PERIOD!! THE ONLY THING SHE DOES IS BOUNCE HER ASS UP AND DOWN AND THEN A BUNCH OF CHOREOGRAPHED MOVES. IT’S NOT LIKE SHE CAN GET OUT THERE AND JUST TEAR THE FLOOR UP AND THE DROP OF A HAT. DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRIS BROWN WAS NUMBER 4 EITHER! HIS MOVES, IN MY OPINION, ARE SLOPPY AND NEED TO BE TIGHTENED UP. OMARION DANCES BETTER THAN HIM BUT I DIDN’T SEE HIM OR HIS SLICKED-DOWN BABY HAIR ON THE LIST!

That was NOT a greatest of ALL time list, SORRY…Diddy and MIssy were a waste of votes…Katherine Dunham could have easily been on there…People that paved the way for dancers now..I am ashamed of BET, man…WOW.

hey hey……..janet is 40 dat bitch mite aswell give up music coz with her recent album flop…
20 yrs of bull shit!!!

i dnt care wat y’all say but she cant touch ciara not any more. y’all forgetiing d age difference…..dat jj has been in for a lng time n ci jus started(age 18) n already 3 yrs she’s threatened a lot of artist such as miss bee, janet…n r.ip aaliyah!!!!
give ciara d amount of time janet has been in….ibet y’all gon compare her to james brown!!!!lol

LMAO @ #107 TheBoyAboutTown wasting their precious time going back to review Get Me Bodied. #39 definitely doesn’t know what talent is. And I thought that as soon as I read their comment.

LMFAO @ the Temptations, Bobby Brown and Beyonce being on the list.

Why isn’t Golden Brooks on this list? She’s a classically trained dancer, both studying and teaching ballet, jazz and modern dance. Where’s Martin Lawrence on the list? And then there’s Snoop or Bow Wow… didn’t one of them invent the chicken toe dance? And, Debbie Allen! Shaquille Oneil turned it out at the All-Star game this year! Taylor Hicks? And, Beyonce’ is a much better dancer than Janet! Also, Mya should be somewhere in the top 10!

One more…Emmit Smith!

This is completly wrong! Why are they gonna call it a countdown, they just randomly threw the people on there. Ciara shouldn’t be 25, along with alot of other completly off orders. BET sucks now, I watch MTV more than BET, and I try not to watch MTV, cuz their racist. Can’t win for loosing.

This countdown did Janet wrong. She deserves to be either 2 or 3. They also Ciara wrong. I think they offered Chris Brown a top 5 spot if he hosted the show.

@176

LoL, you need to stop!

big daddy kane?

They completely played my girl Ciara for putting her at #25.The order is all fucked up plus they have a few that just should not be on the list.Smh

@176 Beyonce learned what she knows from Janet if you ask her she would say the same. Get right.

I think that Chris deserved to be high in the list as that boy can dance and his dance moves dont look overly chreographed like some but wtf is Diddy in it for and i admit miss Janet should of bin infront of Chris and i love beyonce but y the hell is the girl so high up in the list above the likes of Aaliyah, Usher and Ciara, Ciara ass should be in the top 10 atleast the rite people r in the list but in a wrong order.

Like a lot of u said I agree w/ the names on the list just not the order! BET is a joke so I’m really not surprised by any of this…great concept though! Its like they tried 2 appeal 2 the younger audience by mixing the old in w/ the new! However, I think they lefy some key people off the list like Debbie Allen, judith jameson, and (I know a lot of yall don’t agree w/ these but u can’t front on their dancing skills) Sisqo and Mya can definitely tear the dance floor up especially Sisqo cause homeboy be dancing his ass of and singing live and actually sound good soo… They need to get it together and Big Daddy can dance but Scoob and Scrap used to do the damn thing!

174… t’mica…what grade are you in??????? you sound so damn annoying by the way you write….janet been doing this longer than cici and age aint nothin but a numba honey janet aint crippled yet, she 40 and still makin men go crayz, cici is jus a tease, jus cuz her album aint do so good dont mean the people u love dont love janet..hav u 4got janet is cici’s influence…u cant like one n not the otha

Coming from someone who absolutely LOVES Chris Brown… he shouldnt have had the #4 spot. Maybe they gave him a high spot cuz he hosted the show. The list is terrible.Ya’ll know BET is messed up.

I really was disappointed with the list…I was upset about Ciara being number 25. I know she isn’t the BEST dancer but she shouldn’t have been at the very bottom. She is a good dancer and it was just hard to see someone as Diddy being # 24 or even being considered on the list….just my opinion though

wait, how the hell did missy make it on that list? wtf

CICI NUM. 25 NAWWWWW. THEY PLAY’N RIGHT?

WTF WHWERE THE HELL IS MYA? PINK? BRITNEY? PAULA? Now i know why i didn’t watch. What will happen to Chris Breezy when crumpin’ is done and over wit? hmm mm ok. They need to make this list longer and revise this fucked up list. pronto

i mean honestly, why isnt janet right behind michael at #3? obviously, some of the names were misplaced- along with diddy bein placed on the list at all.

and bet wonders why i switched to tv-1

since when did p diddy become a dancer…what a joke and putting chris brown over janet is so foul bet needs to be taken off forever because that is the dumbest sh** i ever heard lol

Ciara is #25 but Beyonce is #9? What a joke!

This is why I watch VH1. I’m STILL shaking my head at this list.

Chris Brown is a good dancer!!! He probably didnt deserve to beat janet but he did deserve the top5… I also believe ciara should have been in the top 10… Why n da hell was diddy and missy on there???

Are you all kidding me????? Janet Jackson taught all these fools how to dance- Ciara, Beyonce, Usher, Chris Brown. The only person that should be ahead of her is her brother. Period!!!!!

They all emulate her. Every video out now has a Janet
Jackson influence, especially the female artists. Yaw’ll better recognize!!!!!!

And I just cannot believe Diddy is on the countdown! LOL! Who put this countdown together? Big Daddy Kane? LOL!!!! This has got to be for comedy.

Come on where is Ginuwine?? Should have at least been in top 5 ,Chris Brown has only did like 1 CD. Also any person with a brain, will say he can and will out dance Missy, Big Daddy Kane, Old-butt Bobby Brown. It’s GINUWINE all day

And even though they put Alvin Ailey, they forgot Judith Jamison! Debbie Allen definately needs to be on there as well as Paula Abdul. And anyone born before 1980 knows that Puffy got his start in the music bis as a dancer - I don’t know how influential he was but he used to do his thing. And how bout Rock Steady Crew?!? (since crunk is just spastic break dancing imo)

To 200 ^^^^ I use to make sandwiches for a living– that does not mean I was any good at it.

LMAO@176 MEATLOAF U ARE THE BEST LOL

IM LOVING THE COMMENTS KEEP THEM COMING!!

LMAO TO YOU DUMB BROADS DEFENDING CHRIS’ SPOT ON THE LIST! DAT NIGGA CAN DANCE BUT HE DON’T DESERVE TO BE ON THERE WITH THAT WACK CD OF HIS!

Oh hell no… Chris Brown top 5… Ciara #25.. OH no i think that BET should consider more choreographers n natural dancers then the best routines into the mix…
Like Debbie Allen,

MYA should have made it..and Paula Abdul..

And what I think the most upset of all is that
Lengendary Kathaine Dunham didn’t make it

I waz glad that the Nicholas Bros made top 5 and Cab Calloway should have been in the Top 10..

What does number of albums have to do with anything? Just saying though.

ok who put beyonce above shakira ciara alvin ailey aaliyah usher omarion and i’ll even say j lo and most importantly TINA TURNER they were smoking crack when they made this. Alvin Ailey should be in the top 10 and Tina who u know got back dancers for they back up dancers nobody but Tina.

how da hell is ciara 25..missy 20..missy cant even dance and how da hell diddy higher than her.chris brown aint the top dancer and how james brown number 1????

and yall really have to be young if yall asking why is big daddy kane on the list yall might wanna go serach on youtube or something….. now diddy naw but kane was the man….

I’m so sick of Ginuwine not getting the credit he desserves. G should have been on that list, I mean, yea chris brown & omarion are good dancers but Ginuwine paved the way for them young cats so BET needs to do that list over & have Ginuiwne on the list.

This is the Ruff draft right? Ginuwine I STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I am extremely baffled that ciara is #25 when she has more dancing skill and complexity more than half that list.

Beyonce is not even a dancer.
diddy and missy should not even be on the list.
As well as shakira??? nope.
Bigg daddy kane-nope.

They seriously did this by the numbers. Here’s the forumla for this whack a$$ BS:

3 from the very old school (Alvin A, Cab, Nicholas brothers)
5 from the Old Old school (James B, Tina,
6 from the New “New” school (Ciara, CB, BK, Omarion)

why yall mad for cici’s position.she not a legend so she shoud be 25.everyone infront of her are legends.hell aaliyah will put cici to sleep.now usher and chris brown was a damn shame.usher dances way better then chrisbrown.beyonce don’t belong on any countdown at all.whoever said cici better then janet is a fucking lie fo’show.what the fuck is wrong with the bet world.

WTH just happened? Nevermind…

I cant believe how ppl are hating on Aaliyah. She was so smooth and fluid in her dance moves, it seemed effortless, she was light on her feet. Yes, she was beautiful, but talented as well. I dont know why Kane was on there, or why Chris Brown was #4 on the list. Didnt he just come out? And I’m sorry, I have to give JLo her props. She was sweet, even on In Living Color….

I was a little disappointed about the list,how could they not have listed Mya,she can and dances her ass off,she even tap dances, I think she up there with the best.If they had Shakira they should of had Justin Timberlake he is a good dancer.Chris Brown should have not been that high,he just came out and he still has alot to prove.There are alot of people who say beyonce should have been lower than Ciara.Why must people compare them to each other?they are not even in the same category,they are two totally different artists.In my opinion Beyonce deserved the spot she was given because she is like the hardest working female in the industry,and she can dance,she can dance all diferent styles,she can dance street-like remember soldier and lose my breath?and she can dance wild and crazy like in deja vu to me that’s called versatility.Let’s not forget the Beyonce dance she had everybody trying to do in her video crazy in love.Everybody wants to jump on the Ciara bandwagon cuz she ain’t been out that long,she a great dancer but what has she done that was so creative lately? in her latest video she doing the same ol dances Usher been doing for awhile now and that’s not being very creative,alot of her moves are very similar to Usher,I seen him do most of them moves she be doing.I seen her do that matrix move alot of times before.She can’t sing so all she got is dancing, at least Beyonce can carry and hit high notes,all ciara does is talk and mumble in her songs.She can’t even perform live without running out of breath at least Beyonce can.Ciara hasn’t even been out for five years and she still has alot to prove, she gotta step up her game vocally and stop dancing all the damn time OK we get it we know you can dance, NEXT!….try singing a ballad for a change.So for her to be compared to Beyonce who is way more established and been around alot longer is wrong,she shouldn’t even be compared to Janet,she is a icon,who cares about who dances better,dancing ain’t everything, of course people gon say Ciara dances better because she is younger and she is for the younger audience and generation,and maybe she can dance better than Janet,but you can’t compare a couple of years of Ciara to 20 years of number one hits,albums,reiventing herself to an icon like Janet Jackson,so in my opinion she was in the correct spot on the list.

WTF!!WHERE IS GINUWINE!!!??? I’M SICK OF BET IM NOT WATCHING 106TH & PARK NO MORE!!!!!LMAO

This list is ridiculous! Such a disgrace to the performers that inspired the moves of most of this people on this list.

Someone said that they did this because of the teens. That is so true. Instead of using the opportunity to show the young’uns where their favorite artists got their moves, they choose to use the popularity contest. Very, very, very few are placed in the right positions.

I remember when BET was for all ages but mostly for those in their twenties. They messed up when they started catering to the teens. Just because they’re a part of Viacom, don’t mean they have to be the “black” version of MTV. That’s gone significantly downhill too.

I am so glad I’m older and remember the old BET that had Video Soul and Teen Summit.

209. Kendra said: “…I’m so sick of Ginuwine not getting the credit he desserves. G should have been on that list”.

======================================================

Geeez, I hear you, but old G is just a little too shiny to make any legitimate, respecable list! Way too shiny!

OMarion dances like a robot.

I think Aaliyah should have been in the top ten. And look at the Ciara/Beyonce thing this way, when Ciara can dance in heels like Beyonce does or when Ciara can stop being so hip-hopish and get a little more variety like Beyonce, then we can argue whether or not Ciara should be higher than Beyonce.

u can tell just threw anybody on there just to fill the list up cuz i dont kno how the hell diddy missy or beyonce even got on the list yea granted they are great entertainers but greatest dancers of all time o hell naw….cuz if they goin by trend dances then the damn franchize boyz, d4l, unk, and huey should of been on that hot ass mess of a list

216 Sit your hot ghetto self down.

Did you forget the title of the show and its purpose? You have so many contradictions I do not know where to begin.

What moves are Ushers? Tell us what video. Ciara did a ballad “And I” and then people said she needed to stick to dancing. Next, Promise is not a ballad, but it is slow-to-mid tempo. So your comments are off.

It is hard to say if Beyonce is the hardest working woman in the industry or just one who gets most of the opportunities because she is perceived as the most popular. There is a difference. Hard working does not make you an “All time Dancer.” Paris Hilton works hard too, to keep the cameras and paparazzi on her no talent ass, so I suppose we should throw her in the list? (That was an exaggeration but it highlights how ridiculous your train of thought is).

Ciara and Beyonce are only being compared because they were both in this countdown and people disagree with the numbering. Yes, they have different styles, but many on that list have different styles. SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT? Next.

AAliyah shouldve been before Beyonce, Chris Brown, O, all thes youngings. Chris Brown before Janet, what the HELL!!! Diddy, i must admit i like his dancing betta than rapping but he had no business on the list. I wouldve put Ciara before Beyonce, but none them youngins before AAliyah. Since they got J-lo on there, i say scratch her and add Pink and/or Aguillera.

@musicjones59

U are right about the fact tha ciara and aaliyah’s dance styles were different, but what u fail 2 realize is that aaliyah died in 2001. It is now 2007. I GUARANTEE you that if she were alive 2day that we wouldnt even be having this discussion. Everyone is now on hip rolling. Aaliyah was doing that shit bach in ‘96. Look at cici’s “Promise” video, and “Like A Boy”. How can u not see that is AALIYAH ALL THE WAY??
