This list is pathetic…Ciara shouldnt be on this list, or Missy….honestly I dont even care lol its a shit list neway

Maybe I have not watched enough Chris Brown videos, but #4? All time? LOL. That’s the problem with music today (or more specifically, BET). Mufukkas get overhyped as the next big thing and then they can’t live up to it and fade out.

Can’t wait to see the top 25 vocalists list… lol.

BET I DEMAND A F**KING REDO! GET UR HEADS OUT OF UR F**KING A$$ES AND REDO THIS COUNTDOWN! AJ AND FREE COME FREE BET FROM THIS F**KED UP MADNESS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Your crazy as HELL if you don’t think Ciara Harris should be on this list! What are you smoking honey child?

LMAO, ROSIE PEREZ,BOBBY BROWN,SHAKIRA, WTF?

Bobby Brown can dance? Yes, back in the day he could really dance. The whole list is geared for teenagers which is the whole reason “Chris Brown” is on the list.

Must I remind some of you that Beyonce’ is the only one on that list who has a dance named after her? The Beyonce’ dance was the hottest thing in the country for almost 26 weeks! Hah oh, hah oh!

IMO diddy and missy=off the whole countdown. ciara,aaliyah=higher up. tina turner doesn’t really do anything amazing….she’s just energetic, but i really don’t get why she’s on there. nor prince. i think the jacksons should have been in the top 2, followed by usher, chris, ciara, aaliyah, j.lo, shaki, and then the rest. i think the list was based off of favoritism for an older crowd though, because if you were to ask anyone today, and who really knew about dance, the list would have been different.

maybe BET should air a disclaimer before they re-run this show (ya’ll know they play everything to death) and define what they consider a great dancer to be….

because there’s no way that diddy, bobby brown and big daddy kane deserve to mentioned in the same breath much less the same list as gregory hines, janet & michael and the others….

then again, that’s just my opinion…

ooohhh but i do agree with the james brown thing because those legs were CRAZY and who hasn’t done/tried to do that today?? R.I.P James Brown

and @74Lovely…teeny boppers?? i’m 14 and i can tell you that my peers def. do not agree with this list either

ROTFLMBAOOOOO ya’ll are crackin me the hell up! Well shyt were is Digital Underground for “the Humpty dance” and what about the KidnPlay? Now those were some dances!LOL

PS if you can’t tell the sarcasm you are we todd did!

The order of the list is a mess & I’m sure whoever was responsible for it is going to be fired, especially with the spot that they put Chris Brown in. Now as far as Missy goes she does deserve a spot. Y’all might not remeber, but Missy came out moving, before we even really knew who she was in that Gina Thompson video. Air walking something serious. LOL! I think, because she did use those computer generated bodies in her recent videos people forget that the big Missy used to step compared to the slim Missy.

WHY IS PRINCE EVEN ON THE LIST? DOES HE DANCE? NOW HAD THE LIST BEEN FOR SEXIEST FACIAL EXPRESSIONS PRINCE WOULD DEFINATELY HAVE TO BE ON IT, BUT NOT DANCE.

Hahahaha aint that the damn truth… hell wat about steve urkel and fuck the whole damn ATL cuz they stay comin out wit new dance moves

I guess papa knowles paid them off to have beyonce in the top ten..

are you fucking serious?

lol
lol

beyonce in the top ten for greatest dancers…

bitch, please….

i still got love for her though, i ain’t hatin, just keeping it rizz-eal!

WTF?????????
Aaliyah 18?
Ciara 25?
Usher 11?
Diddy shouldn’t even be on there.
And where’s Mya and Ginuwine?
This list is garbage.

WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS HATE ON JLO
JLO STARTED AS A DANCER SHE IS SO GOOOD AT IT SHE IS VERSATILE AND CAN DANCE HIP HOP SALSA …. HOW CAN SOME JEALOUS BITCH SAY THAT SHE DOESNT DESERVE TO BE ON THIS LIST AND REMEMBER SHE WAS A JANET DANCER SO HOW CANT SHE BE GOOD????
people in here are praising beyonce too much and the girl only know how to shake her ass

Beyonce should not be on the list period. along with diddy and missy.

Beyonce is not a dancer. What has beyonce done that is so creative or innovative in dance?????
the booty bounce dance……don’t think so. This is why people call her OVER-RATED. because she gets too much damn credit for nothing.

This was a shitty list.

yet another f*** up from bet..top five should have been 1- james brown 2- michael jackson 3-mc hammer (if you ever seen him dance live, you know he can dance his ass off) 4-janet jackson 5-jackie wilson because they are some of the inspirations for dancers today

BET officially sucks ass!! that’s why i don’t even bother watching anymore.

Like everyone said, i agree with the list, but the order was totally fucked up!!

And I agree that mya and genuwine should have been on the list. The only reason why those two weren’t was because their careers have not blown up.

Hence, beyonce is on the list because her career has blown up, but she is not even a dancer.

That shit is just wack. Another reason for me to hate on beyonce because of all the undeserved hype. her ass is way too over-rated.

How are mya and genuwine not gonna make that list, but weavelicious(all i do is have seizures and flip my lacefront wig) make the list. bullshit.

Now, I’m just gonna continue to state the obvious… when I saw this shit I knew someone had cracked whoever made this list in the head with a sack of bricks because how the hell is Debbie Allen, Sammie Davis Jr., and Paula Abdul not make the list. Truthfully, I don’t think Omarion, Chris Brown, or Beyonce should have been as high on the list as they were. Beyonce is talented but she needs to stick to singing, Omarion is a better dancer than singer (But that isn’t saying much because he can’t sing), and Chris Brown is talented but with only one album and a handful of videos how the hell is he beating out Janet “Rhythm Nation” Jackson. Debbie Allen has choreographed some of the greatest dance sequences in history - “FAME” and “Coming to America” and you don’t put her on here - GTFO!!!! There would have been no Gregory Hines or Savion Glover without Sammie Davis Jr. and Janet wouldn’t know she had anything to shake if Paula Abdul didn’t choreograph all her early shit. So come on BET step it the fuck up because this list is simply a disgrace.

Janet was hot in her day, but if you put Janet against Ciara now she would get killed! Shes old now, but in her day she was the best female dancer. But seriously we need to boycott BET. WTF is Shakira doing on the list??

DAMN YO… CIARA SHOULD HAVE BEEN LiKE LOWER..SHE DANCES WAY BETTER THAN MOST OF THEM NI99AZ

How In D He!! was ciara #25 she got all these you artist beat. and where is josphine Baker i mean beyonce stole one of her entire numbers for deja vu. Janet should have been right behind her brother and usher should have been right there close behind and so should have Aaliyah. as a dancer who’s talents were giving to him and not taught, i’m ashamed at this damn list. thats why you all should join me in the bringing down of BET (AKA The Koon Network) for dumb $#!+ like this list. And Spring Bling and The Hip Hop Awards and Rip The Runway and so on and so on…….

shakira should be on the list!! she can dance like no other. no oneeeee can dance like her. unless the list were just meant for black entertainers….then again i know a lot of black people who do enjoy her dancing.

I AGREE WITH A LOT OF U THERE’S PPL LIKE GINUWINE, MYA, LMAO AT THIS ONE LEON FROM FAME THIS WAS POORLY PUT TOGETHER

Maya sweety i see how that does resemble aaliyah and i give baby girl the credit cuase she god knows she does deserve it …but this comming from a dancer ( me ) ciara would dance circles around aaliyah …aaliyah could dance but when u see the passion and how much effort ciara puts into her dancing it shows who the better dancer is … ciara inspires so much not to say that aahiyah dosent cuase are you thats somebody was the reason i wanted to start dancing BUT ciara is more then just corogerphy which aaliyah just is ciara freestyles are Bannanas ! Ciara is just a Dancer before anything she never seems to fail at amazing us with her dancing …. they both deserve to be on the list now they both are aswome but i just believe Ciara took what aahiyah was doin and janet too ( gotta give props to them ) and took it to a whole another level …… all them deserve respect they are all great artist and dancers

hmmm looks like the older generation has some serious HATE going on towards the new/current generations….and don’t deny it cuz i’m reading it!

Ciara can’t truly dance. She looks like she is counting the steps.

Diddy started out in the industry as a dancer and he does his own thing.

Beyonce can’t dance a little bit!

Aaliyah should have been higher and as a few others have stated Ginuwine should have made the list.

Personally, I think Chris Brown is a great dancer, yep even better than Janet. She always had a lot of rehearsed moves. Omarion is better than her too!

Oh please what about the cre from stomp the yard! Shakira is pretty all she does is belly dance. And Bewonce hell she shakes her but that’s like Ashanti on there all she does is aroebics dance moves!!! All she does is move her arms. WTF????????

PEOPLE! SOME OF YOU ARE COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT. THIS IS WHY BET KEEPS PUTTING THIS KIND OF S**T ON TV. HOW MANY RECORDS OR NOTES BEYONCE CAN HIT IS NOT THE POINT! HOW MANY RECORDS JANETS LAST ALBUM SOLD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER DANCING. WHAT WE NEED TO ASKING IS WHY DOES BET KEEP INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE? BOYCOTT!!!

256 ?! WTF how old are u 12 ?!

chris brown and omarion better then Janet ?!?

pleasure princpal, rythmn nation , alright , alll night dont stop , if , dosent really matter ??!! the list goes on !!

if u dont sit your non knowledge of what a dancer turly is ass down !

omarion and chirs brown are great i addmit but by far no where in HELL near janets level NO WHERE !

and u tlakin bout ciara cant dance sehs countin her steps u are truly and idot ! i almost shit my pants reading your post !

How they gonna play Ciara, Usher, and Aaliyah like that? I mean do they really think Diddy can dance?

This is another reason why I hate BET with a passion and they have definitely downgraded themselves in the last few years. Wtf is Missy Elliot on this list…above Ciara??? Cmon!! And yes Usher and Janet shouldve been in the top five. Aaliyah and Ciara shouldve ben waaaayyyy further up. This list is all jacked up.

Dree> No hate this is just a wack ass list and umm we talkin bout Diddy and Kane on here too and they are older than me. What I said earlier is BET aint gonna name some of the real greats cause since it caters to teeny boppers they wouldnt know who the hell these ppl are. Shoot I’ve been reading and some ppl dont know who the Nicholas brothers are so I damn sure know they dont know who Katherine Dunham, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Jackie Wilson, Cholly Adkins, Ben Vereen, Josephine Baker, Pearl Primus, Arthur Mitchel are now those are some great dancers

LMAO @ Lovely bringing up the humpty dance. “The humpty dance is your chance to do the hump” Girl you crazy. But you right. They might as well made the list too.

@Meatloaf, Bey didn’t make that dance up. Females been doing that. That’s why I could never figure out why they called it the “Beyonce” when that dance beeeeeeeeeeeen out.

@ #256 Tasha, are you serious? Please say you playing right about now.

As a dancer, I hope this was just a list and in no particular order!
If this is the order, I co-sign with # 13!

Chris Brown should be in the 20’s not even near number 1 and not over Janet or some of those other dancers. He can dance but he’s should be ranked more towards Cici.

^^^^^^^^^^ YOU ARE CORRECT, AT THE SAME TIME HOW IS IT SHE WAS TAUGHT BY ROSIE PEREZ AS WELL WHOM IS LOWER ON THE LIST! THAT IS THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE LIST. THE PIONEERS ARE LOWER ON THE LIST THAN THEIR PROTEGES. WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE GETS HER STYLE FROM MICHAEL, JANET AND TINA! SHE STILL PUT HER OWN STAMP ON HER MOVES LIKE FATIMA SAID. WHAT OTHER PERFORMER OUT HERE CAN IMULATE TINA TURNER TO THE T? AT THE SAME TIME THEY JUDGED THEM ON ORIGINALITY, THEIR STAGE PRESENCE AMONG OTHERS. BEYONCE TO ME BEATS CIARA OT ON THE STAGE PERFORMANCE, CIARA CAME OUT DANCING AND TRYING TO SING, DESTINY CHILD(BEYONCE) CAME OUT KICKING ASS DOING BOTH! BEYONCE IS A HELL OF A PERFORMER, SHE CAN DANCE AND SING AT THE SAME TIME, CIARA IS STILL TRYING TO MASTER THIS! I DIDN’T LIKE THE ORDER OF THE LIST AS WELL! SOME PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OFF AS WELL AS OTHERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THERE, JOSEPHINE BAKER FOR ONE!

What it do Compton_Chick?!

Where in the hell was Milli Vanilli on this list? j/k for the slow folks.

The only thing that BET ever got right was the Top 25 couples but the rest of them need some readjusting.

This list is full…I only seen one person mention one of the greats who inspired a lot of people on here…Sammy Davis Jr. Fred Astaire should be on here. The Nicholas Brothers is a good look in the top 3 (if you dont know about them, check them on youtube). As far as modern R & B performers, Ginuwine is still light years ahead of what Chris Brown will ever become. He should have at least made the list. Gregory Hines is a good look on the list. There needs to be a public apology for having Diddy and Missy on here.

I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A MESS UP LIST WHEN THEY PUT CIARA AT 25! THAT WAS STUPID! SHE DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOP TEN! NOT BEYONCE , PRINCE, MISSY, AND USHER. I DONT CARE FOR USHER DANCING! AND BEYONCE SHE CANNOT EVEN DANCE NOR FREESTYLE WITH DANCE LIKE CIARA DO! BET AINT NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF DICKS ANYWAY!

i don`t like ciara position ;; diddy shouldn`t even be on the list. chris brown doesn`t deserve number four because usher personally can dance better. chris brown just krump`s all the time. the countdown is jacked. i like beyonce position, but ciara`s could have been hiqher. and some of this people i haven`t even heard of. why isn`t omarion on the countdown. missy elliott don`t deserve to be on the countdown neither. i demand a do-over cuz this countdown is wack!

janet and michael jackson are the reason aaliyah, chris brown, missy elliot, usher and a couple others are even on the list to begin with. nobody gets mimicked more then the jacksons.

This List is Utterly Ridiculous Ciara should definately be higher than number 25 why is Diddy, Big Daddy Kane on the list Michael Jackson should’ve been number one Usher a close second Janet should be in the top five and Beyonce should switch with Ciara.

Okay Ciara 25!!!- Not even a fan but know she was cheated.

Diddy-Why!

Beyonce- Can not dance!!!!!!! Kelly kills her when it comes to the dance. (Not a hater just telling the truth)

Prince- i know he is an icon but dancer?

Chris Brown- Ya’ll know when hosting, performing or presenting anywhere you go get an award or in this case higher position. But 4 wow!

umm PEOPLE THE FANS VOTED FOR THIS ON THE BET WEBSITE SO DON”T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY.

How about BET just can the Top Whatever lists all together…they always suck and nobody ever agrees with them.

LOL tha list is wack… Ciara 25, CHRIS brown 4? Missy? DIddy? - Dancers?? WTF…………….

I cant believe this, I have to pay $1.75 extra per month for this channel - I want my money back.
Where is Debbie Allen, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr,Paula Abdul why is Ciara so low, y in god’s name are Diddy and Missy on this ish. If anybody could make this list then all the dancehall stars from Jamaica should be there too.
BET has absolutely no credibility with anyone but 5 year olds. I am so dissappointed in how they continue to misrepresent Black America

can someone tell me how missy got on the list and vbeat greggory hines? just because you can do a two step does not mean that you are good dancer worthy of praise.

I think every-one on the list deserved to make it except Diddy. This show was not about entertainers it was about dancers, if they put Diddy on the list they should have put Whitney Houso and R. Kelly on there as well. Chris Brown is great I think he should’ve been in the top ten but not the top 3 Coming before Janet Jackson is just crazy.. J.Lo and Ciara should’ve been in the top ten as well

Diddy should not even be on this list. He does a lil 2 step but thats something u see everyday. And above Ciara oh no! Also, Chris can dance but he is no where near better than Janet or Prince. But atleast they got number one right, RIP James Brown. IF number one had been Beyonce (I give her props the gurl is Badd!) But if she was, then there def. would be a problem!

michael jackson and james brown made top two because it’s right!

25. Ciara -Did I really just see that SH!T, what is this based on! That girl can dance her fukkin azz off, and honwstly I think its what keeps her in the game, cuzz she can sing but it’s bland, but her dancing, she got something different every video, she shoulda been in the top 10. Missy beat her, missy needed her dancing in a FU*KING DANCING VIDEO!. whoever watched this crap, I know yall was pissed when the next name was Diddy just sad

This list is a jole. Why is Bobby Brown over Alvin Aley. And where is Sammy Davis and Debbie Allen. How in the hell can they put chris Brown over Janet and Usher. BET has truly lost it.

ITS TO EASY TO EVEN COMPLIMENT ON THE CHRIS BROWN STUPIDITY SO I’LL BE SHORT…THE KID IS CUTE BUT LOOKS HELLA GAWKY DANCING
ANYWAY,
whoever compares cici and janet is hella ignorant
janet was turning backflips out of chairs at cici’s age….cici’s flexibility and pussi poppin is cute tho

janet created the “pop/r and b dancing diva” the rest are just followers…some better than others

IM SORRY TO SAY BUT IF THEY WOULD HAVE PUT TRUE DANCERS INSTEAD OF WAS HOT TODAY CIARA MAY NOT EVEN MADE IT ON HERE I MEAN SHE’S AIGHT BUT NOTHING A LIL CHORGR. COULDNT TEACH AND BEYONCE I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE CALLED THAT DANCING BUT I GUESS SOMEONE FOUND IT WORTHY OF BEINGON THE LIST CHRIS BROWN IM NOT FEELING HIM AT ALL I HOPE CONCRETELOOP MADE A TYPO CAUSE THIS IS JUST BOGUS

HOLD UP!!! How is Prince gonna be #6?!? My man should have at least been in the top 3!! Although in my opinion, he SHOULD have been #1 or #2 behind James Brown!! F*** that!!! PRINCE IS THE MAN!!

O YEA I REMEMBER THE BEYONCE DANCE
IT REQUIRES 30 INCHES OF WEAVE I SHIRT AND NO RHYTHMN

LOL
DO THE DANCE ONLY TO A YING YANG TWIN SONG LOL

^^^^^ 285 Bonnie

get yo mugshot looking self outta here. Cici is betta than half on that list. Not all of her stuff is choreography anyway- think 1, 2 step

I see Buffoon Entertainment Television is at it again! This list reflects the new and downgraded BET network! I agree with most of these comments. The order is all over the place and full of crap. … Mya, Debbie Allen, Paula Abdul, and Ginuwine should all be on the list!

Diddy and that tired shuffle step he always does shouldn’t be on the list either. And why the heck is Missy and Big Daddy Kane on here? This list is laughable at best!

BET should stay away from countdowns all together in my opinion. They’ve done lists that just don’t add up.
After watching Spring Bling, its evident they gave up on good programs like Teen Summit so they need to bring Bob Johnson.

Bsides yall know they sold BET to white ppl and they damn sho dont know what constitutes a dancer lol.

No joke, i was in shock when i was watching the “top 25 dancers”. who the hell rated the dancer. ciara??? new 25?!?!?! are u kidding me? she should of been at least in the top 10. i dont know how beyonce did it over tina turner. i was so pissed.

http://thebizzness.blogspot.com

1,2 step is nothing maybe a person dream that cant dance but other then that naw …….if u think ciara is extraodinary i see why beyonce at the top

this list not right

Ugh im in the UK and glad i missed this, or else i woulda been shouting the TV.

Someone mentioned fred astaire-for real, WHAT HAPPENED TO FRED?

Sammy davis Jr???

debbie allen???

paula abdul?

Gene kelly?

all these people inspired, and have a large following even today.

Why is bey on the list? Chris shoulda been like 19

CIARA 25!?! thats an insult, almost as bad as defamation of character, ugh im so mad!

Gregory hines should have been way higher too as cab calloway, ugh thats just wrong all wrong.

how the hell is beyonce before ciara?

the temptations?
diddy?
missy elliott? wtf? she dances?

f’n gregory hines paved the way for many dancers and dont get me started on alvin ailey….he is very significant! how are they being disrespected like this.

and if its top dancers of all time….where the hell is justin timberlake? and gene kelly? white dancers and also other black monumental dancers like debbie allen and my boy sammy davis jr…he was the ish!

this further proves how ignorant bet is to their history! it makes no sense! they need to read up on many things anddo their homework!

yeah this list is DEFINITELY off!! way off!!

this order is ri-dam-dic-u-lous…how are any of these folks ranked over Alvin Ailey and Gregory Hines? That is preposturous. Usher should’ve been higher along with Janet Jackson…..Shakira even…perhaps they weren’t serious about the order. They couldn’t have been. Do you all know who Alvin Ailey was? Sheesh?

now i am not saying this cause i love ciara but as far as aaliyah( who i loved r.i.p) vs. ciara is concerned ciara is DEFINAETLY better for the simple fact that there is nothing that she cannot do as a dancer i have seen her perform and dance she is the queen hands down i mean yes aaliyah danced more smoothly and more effortlessly than ci but that’s like saying she can sing better than whitney cause her voice is more soft and angelic whitney is better cause she has a powerful strong voice that makes u say daaamn and if ur the best at anything that’s wat ur supposed 2 do aaliyah’s dancing doesnt really do that

i think chris brown is where he supposed to be…he is young and talented…ciara at 25 lmao…maybe it wasnt supposed be in order.
