I was so mad at the list. I’m not tryna be a hata but Diddy cannot dance he should not have been on there at all. Marques Houston should have been on there fo sho. Chris Brown should not have been #4 beating out Janet Jackson, Aaliyah, and Usher. That is some crazy shit. Omarion should have came before Chris. That is so crazy!

Someone said what does selling albums have to do with this,I’m saying!If that was the case it would MJ.But this is dancing.I agree,Mya should of been on here more than Missy,Diddy and Beyonce’.Aaliyah was an ok dancer,but to be put in a catergory with Alvin,Gregory Hines,Savion Glover,The Nicohlas Brothers etc., its kind of like a big question mark to me.I remember watching Video Soul and wanting to be like most of them, but now I don’t even tune because of things like this.

Well it aint Chris’es fault he wus jus hostin it but, maybe if dey call it sumthin else, or like, if it wus #1michael #2janet #3usher #4chris brown… i could c it but, its jus cuz ders a LOT wrong wit da list,
cuz Where ARE mya n ginuwine 4 goodness sake n how is Usher fightin 2 stay in da top 10 n michael jackson aint #2 to NObody n i aint even a michael fan or anything n i luuuv chris brown he so amazin n stuff! but Usher aint far like that below chris, CmON, n evrything is wrong, Shakira over aaliyah? Umm Ok oh well!

BET, W-R-O-N-G!

Jennifer Lopez, Aaliyah, & Janet is all I care about and shouldve been higher

I agree with the ppl put in the list, however i DO NOT AGREE with the order-wat da fuk?-beyonce better than the originator TINA herself? nahhh blud, or C.Brown better than Janet? AHA-or even DIddY better thasn ciara? wat a joke!-thats some messed up list-as far as am concerend, it is TOO CURRENT and in no means demonstrative nor conclusive of the best dancers of our time.

but Sorri, Ciara not a great great dancer 2 me, jus sayin but w/e BET!

BET did everyone a disservice with this.

Even those who placed (high(er)) on the list cannot take it seriously. For example, if Bobby Brown, Missy, Kane, Diddy, Shakira, & Beyonce at all pay attention to someone like Ciara then they know she is better dancer than they are. These people know that they are not capable of her moves and could not hang with Ciara. So then they feel bad as they know they have been credited with something they do not deserve.

Oh and Beyonce should have not made it on the list neither should have daddy kane. OMG Bet was trippin

#381 I agree! Ciara needs to switch it up! All she does is that pop lockin shit! And she only has about 6 dancing videos. Oh Yeah Omarion is TIGHT too!

what the hell is missy doing on the list!!! GTFOH!!

WTF?
Ciara-25?
Diddy?
Missy-20?
This List Seems like it was just THROWN together by a buncha monkeys!

@ #40 no, U never seen a hyphy clowndancin krumpin rnb prince before ANYwhere Chris jus be bringin it! but, maybe its how r u gon have usher SOooo far below him AND janet behind him too n evrything like that NO! Oh well it don matter jus a dumm list n stuff

That list was funny. Dancing should not be based on how fast you move and how much shaking and gyrating you do. WOW BET is on Crake.

387, that is your opinion of Chris Brown. I for one, do not think he is that much of a dancer, but whatever!!!

This list is ridiculous. Beyonce can’t out dance Kelly….Big Daddy Kane couldn’t out dance Heavy D.,and that little white girl in her videos can out dance missy Elliott…..and where’s Re-Run…???

This is the weirdest list that I have ever seen.

I mean, just because Diddy and Jennifer Lopez chooses to dance all the time doesn’t make then great dancers.

And the order of this list is ridiculous–they placed MC Hammer and Chris Brown before Alvin Ailey, Gregory Hines and Savion Glover.

And then hey placed Jennifer Lopez before Tina Turner?

Just because J-Lo and Chris Brown are new-school artists don’t mean that they are better than the greats. It is because of the greats that they are even doing what they are doing.

**SMH**

ugh…. who said tina turner should not have been on the list? you wack!

i think they just gave chris the number 4 sopt because he hosted, if ciara hosted it would have been her. Janet should have been number 3. cuz ciara is original. chris brown not he do dances people be doing at parties.

Wheres the people who were on Soul Train back in the 70s/80s they danced way more better than this.BOOOOOOOOO @ this list.

Somethin aint right with this list…

393, he sure does. All of his moves are taken from the hood. People hype him up too far. You can find another one of him in any hood across the world. Please.

1. The Nicholas Brothers
2. Alvin Ailey
3. Gregory Hines
4. James Brown
5. Michael Jackson
6. Jackie Wilson
7. The Temps
8. Savion Glover
9. Prince
10. Josephine Baker
11. Tina Turner
12. Hammer
13. The Tops

Why don’t they take a poll using the greatest dancers on the list? Although I think Mike was better than Jackie Wilson, JB and Mike would have probably both ranked him ahead of them. Greatness has more to do with bringing something innovative to the table, and doing it for a long time. At least most of these listed young dancers acknowledged Mike as far as their inspiration, so I’m not gonna trip to hard with the list, but how did Chris Brown or Ciara even land on the list and they’ve been around collectively for about 5 years?

Ciara in no way deserve to only be #25. No, no, no.
Beyonce was too high on the list. Chris is a better dancer than Usher but he, too, was too high on the lest.

The whole order of the list was bogus.

I dont know what went wrong, but I definitely can say Ciara can dance her a** off.

What about Jody Watley ( she started on Soul Train )
she’ll out dance most of these crows on this list.

#397, when was you born 1932..???

JANET JACKSON BEST FEMALE DANCER OF ALL TIME. AND WILL ALWAYS BE!

I think that all the different dance styles of the artists on here clashed. I mean, who puts The Temptations, Ciara, and The Nicholas Brothers all in one group? To #371 ClarkThink, u are crazy to say that Aaliyah couldnt dance. Knowing u were one of the ones who tried to learn the steps to “Are You That Somebody?” Ppl kill me……

Umm I dont undertand why in the world Missy Elliot is on that list..

How the hell does Beyonce come before the late, great Aaliyah? all that bitch does is shake her ass! How in the hell does Chris Brown come before Janet?

I couldn’t believe the list either…I don’t even like Ciara but I know she should have been ranked higher than Beyonce.

Chris Brown before Usher? Is it just me or do I see a lot of Usher in not only Chris B’s dances but also his performances. I know he crunks a lot but that was just crazy.

Usher has to be at home pissed.

When did Beyonce become a dancer?? And why is Gregory Hines, Ciara, Rosie Perez, Aaliyah & Cab Calloway at the end. BET is so damn retarded!!!

ahhh hell nah…. ciara shud b wea chris brown at and beyonce iz not dat of a dancer except of her booty poppin and usher shud b higher and chris brown iz not better than janet usher etc….. diz iz juz sum bull shiet!!!! who evea made diz list waz STUCK ON STUPID!

i think omarion and ciara should be at the top,can somebody tell me how the hell p diddy got a higher place than ciara….that’s some messed up sh**

Has the folks at BET lost their minds? This list is as crappy as the “Black Couples” list back in February! The title of the show is the “25 Greatest Dancers of All Time”–which means in order for these dancers to be on this list, they need to be around for a long time. All the young people such as Usher, Chris Brown, Ciara, Missy Elliot, should not have been on this list. Instead, they should have been on the “25 Greatest Dancers of Our Generation”.

How in the heck did Beyonce post higher than Ciara? She just got her s**t tight? How did James Brown post high and Aaliyah post so low? Looks like money exchanged hands on this one.

Shit if they were going to put Big Daddy Kane up there they may as well put Scoop and Scrap Lover up there

Producers do things their own way for their own purposes. I didn’t even pay attention to the order becasue the show was boring. It so wasn’t what I expected and I love to watch dance. It wa sliek a way watered down version of those shows the do on VH1.

BET FELL OFF THE CHART OF “CREDIBILITY” A LONG TIME AGO FOLKS! MY 6 YEAR OLD NIECE COULD’VE CONCOCTED A BETTER LIST THAN THIS CRAP. BET IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL BLACK FOLKS WHO ARE PROGRESSIVE AND SHOULD BE CANCELLED. TVONE CAN REPRESENT AND IS DOIN IT WELL!

MAN…who really made this list…I agree…why is p.diddy on the countdown?
Ciara should have been up there with where chris brown was…she is nasty…how did BEYONCE beat CIARA?

Ciara is a NATURAL DANCER…beyonce is a choreographed dancer…

Beyonce before Ciara?? Get the hell out of here!! Ciara is a way better dancer than beyonce.

Beyonce before Jennifer Lopez??? That is a bogus ass list.

#15 you ain’t never lied about Maya and Paula being missing.

lol at diddy coming b4 cici

bet needs to get their sh*t together, because this list is all out of wack, straight ridiculous.

1. Beyonce is not a natural dancer. Not the best either. Over Ciara? Please.

2. Janet should jave been way higher. Like in the top 5. She paved the way for all these r&b singers TRYIn to dance. The only person who got it right was Britney Spears. I’d take her in the top 10 over Beyonce anyday!

3. Paula is missin. Girl used to get Down!

4. Um I love Diddy, but no!

5. I see why J-lo is on the list. She can di hop hop, salsa, and modern, etc. Being a great dancer is being VERSATILE.

6. Everyone can Booty-shake. Does not mean you’re a great dancer.

7. And sorry I’s switch #1 to 2. Michael can do James Brown’s moves with no sweat!

This list is BULLCRAP!

WHY WOULD THEY PUT

SHAKIRA

AND JLO

ON THE LIST AND FORGET

MYA

AND GINUWINE I MEAN COMMON

ISN’T THIS

BET’S LIST TOP 25

YOU KNOW IF IT WAS SOME HISPANIC LIST

THEY WOULDN’T PUT US ON THEIR

BUT WE NVM NOT WE

BET JUST HAD TO GO AND DO THAT

AND MYA

SHE CAN DANCE JEEZ

I DONT REMB WHICH PERSON SAID SHE COULDN’T PLEASE

THAT GIRL WAS TRAINED TAP DANCER SHE CAN DANCE VERY GOOD ACTUALLY

I’m so mad I got all these typos! lol

I don’t get it. between omarion, usher & chris brown. chris brown dances wayyy much better than the other two whether routine or freestyle. aaliyah should’ve been a lot more closer to #1 spot then she is and ciara, PLEASE mya can put that girl to shame. but my point is how are you gonna make a list like this and not include GINUWINE!

mkay, i’m tired of people saying that chris brown should be so low. he should at least be near the top ten. him and cici are like almost on the same level but he’s a bit more energetic. he’s so high because of his energy, and the fact that he doesn’t have to stop and plan his dance moves EVER and if there was a dance move someone wanted to do most likely he could do it! if this was a list for BEST dancers than the younger generation should be in front of the older generation, but since this is the TOP dancers i guess they put the older people on because they are what inclfuenced most of the young stars today like chris brown, ciara, beyonce, etc. speaking of beyonce, ya’ll ain’t giving the girl all her credit. she can do a lot more than the booty hop. watch D.C. - lose my breath, crazy in love, get me bodied, deja vu, ring the alarm. as a dancer i can say she’s got some crazy limbs and great the girl does deserve to be on the list. on another note i am very upset that paula abdul isn’t on the list

I am a dancer and when I saw this list I felt so insulted. They put James brown and Michael Jackson where their suppose to be. And For those of ya’ll saying Jennifer Lopez shouldn’t be on the list is wrong. Jlo can dance her butt off and especially in heels. I mean she was a fly girl on “In Living Color” for goodness sake! If you gotta do your research then go ahead and do it. Ciara “my girl” I was so disappointed that she was at #25. CiCi should have been atleast #3. Beyonce..I don’t even know where to begin…people overexaggerate this girl so much and that is why she won’t take a break!! I can do what Beyonce does at parties and clubs. I mean that’s what I have been doing before she came out as a solo artist. Yes she can move and perform but nothing of a legitimate dancer. I wanna know why the two girls from “Oaktown 357″ was not on the list. They danced for MC Hammer and those girls were incredible dancers. Where is Bobby brown,Ginuwine,Mya,Justin, and alot of legitimate dancers at? BET is a joke for real! They ain’t serious no more which is very disappointing!

mya who?? mya can’t put no one to shame not even amerie!! get a life. u know cici would murder mya in a dance battle.

#424 sticks p said: I don’t get it. between omarion, usher & chris brown. chris brown dances wayyy much better than the other two whether routine or freestyle. aaliyah should’ve been a lot more closer to #1 spot then she is and ciara, PLEASE mya can put that girl to shame. but my point is how are you gonna make a list like this and not include GINUWINE!

……………
@ #424 Jus sayin! lol tru dat, 2 evrything.

Well Umm i dunno if Chris is bettr den usher choreographed, n their stuff is jus 2 different from each othr 2 but, it still jus aint no WAY ushr is behind chris Dat much like, #11? wtf No u kno

Oh n New edition! yea dey 2 boring now and stuff but, one of BETs host wus jus sayin their leadsinger wus like tha bestest hiphoppy-leadsinger evr cuz if it isnt luv is da JOINT Omarion n his dancers be doin dat ontour sumtimes 2 luv it
But, jus 4 missin Mya Ginuwine Umm BET got EVRYthing wrong all Day But, Uh dey r kinna wack a LOT but w/e

why is it that ginuwine isnt even on the list? didnt all his videos make u anxious for the dance interludes??

beyonce can’t dance she can jus sing and look pretty! Ciara dance WAY better than most of them people! J.Ho hell no! Those Fly dancers off in living color were wack! ne way im too tired to finish…

BET DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT TALENT…IF THEY GOT BEYONCE’S NO TALENTED ASS @ NUMBER 8…SORRY SHE IS NOT NUMBER 9…SHE IS REALLY @ NUMBER 8 GOT TO BET AND SEE FOR YOURSELF

CIARA NUMBER 25 BUT P DIDDY @ 24????????? UMM LAST TIME I CHECK DIDDY WASN’T A FUCKIN DANCER..AND OL BOY CAN’T EVEN DANCE…….WHERE THE FUCK WAS GINUWINE????????

BEYONCE CAN’T DANCE….SORRY BUT UMM BOOTY SHAKIN AND THE SWINGING OF HER WEAVE AND DOING THAT SAME AZZ BOOTLEG CAT WALK..DOES DESERVE THE TITLE “DANCER” SHYT AIN’T EVEN WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDER DANCING…CIARA SHOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT BEHIN JANET JACKSON…BET DON’T KNOW SHYT….CIARA IS BAD WITH THE MOVES…TOO DAMN BAD…SHE CAN GET @ JANET JACKSON IF SHE WANTS….AND SHE CAN MOST DEFINETLY BUT A MOVE ON ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT IS ON THAT LIST…HELL SHE CAN POP HER AZZ TOO AND KNOCK BEYONCE OUT OF THE WAY

BET IS FULL OF SHYT..DAMN SHAME…THAT WHOLE PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE CANCELED…..CALL BET SOMETHING ELSE…….DUMB AZZES DON’T KNOW WHAT DANCING IS…YOU WILL THINK THEY WOULD AT LEAST KNOW THAT…BUT THEY DON’T….

Ciara’s dancing is lame. I am tired of seeing the exact same moves in every video. the like a boy video told it all. she should be happy for a 25 spot

@Dave D…you say Beyonce should be number 5 because you like porno. And that is what she is..a music porno artist

am not hating but y is beyonce on the list. b/c of a little but hopin’ & she is higher than cici&ali. am sorry but wtf. lol. diddy lmao. and where was mya tha girl can move. i think chris has talent, but higher than someone he copied from just seem a little crazy to me.

#429…MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! What happened to Ginuwine? This list (for some on those list…*ahem* Chris Brown) is more like “Best Dancer of the Moment.”

WHY IN THE HELL IS p diddy and beonka on this list? Now there needs to be a line somewhere!!!!

@432…wtf…I think you mistaken Ciara for Beyonce…lol she does the same azz moves in every freakin video…and if she ain’t bustin one of her lame azz booty dances..she either copying off of another female artist….it’s either briney spears, janet jackson, jennifer lopez, ciara, and ect.

Oh hell and did ya’ll see Greenlight? HELL please tell she didn’t copy off of Amerie??????? HELL YES SHE DID…watch her video “1 thing” and then go back and watch Beyonce’s video “green light” she most def copied off of her…especially that part where she is playing the guitar and got the whit background and the white stairs and the band in the back…same shyt Amerie had…but she didn’t have a guitar.

BEYONCE AIN’T EVEN ORIGINAL…BUT YOU SAY CIARA DOES THE SAME SHYT??????? WHEN DOES SHE? BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS CHANGING IT UP…EVERTIME I SEE HER VIDOES AND SEE HER PERFORMING SHE IS CHANGING IT UP…THERE IS SOMETHING NEW

BEYONCE…YOU SEE THE SAME AZZ SHIT..SAME AZZ SHYT…IT’S JUST RIDICULOUS…SHE DOES THE SAME AZZ SHYT SOOO MUCH YOU ALREADY KNOW IN WHAT SHE GONNA DO BY HEART…BECAUSE SHE DOES THE SAME ASS SHIT..ALL THE DAMN TIME.

I’m wondering why Beyonce is on the list period!! All her dances are choreographed to the point that you can tell she can’t dance on her own. I know all videos are choreographed but you can tell she’s not a real dancer like Aaliyah, Ciara and Chris Brown…And please explain to me why Ciara is waay at the bottom of the list. These mofo’s who made the list are crazy.

THIS IS A JOKE….
12. Alvin AileY
21. Gregory Hines
19. Tina Turner
WHAT HAPPEN TO DEBBIE AND NEM’
THIS IS A LOAD A CROCK LOOK WHO THEY HAVE ON TH ELIST…WOW…..BIG DADDY KANE BOBBY BROWN..BEYONCE CANT DANCE…..SINCE WHEN DOES SHE DANCE BETTER THEN JLO
ITS ASHAME BC THIS IS ONLY FALSIFYING HISTORY…

DAMN SHAME…KIDS ARE WATCHING THIS ISH..MAN

I agree that Mya should defenitly be on there, I watched her perform this past weekend and she can really dance. And how can Ginuwine not b on there, isn’t that where most of these R&B rookies get there moves from. Y does BET even bother to re-air this crap! Who made this list anyway???!?? a bunch of crackheads.? If diddy’s on there then Hammer should be on the list.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS #174 TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE HELL DOES JANET BEING 40 HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT SHE CAN DANCE? BUY YOUR SHIT LEGALLY PLEASE!!! KEEP LIVING BIRTHDAYS COME EVERY YEAR FOR EVERYONE

And another thing Bobby ” King of (R)ocks & (B)eer can not f***ing dance and niether can Missy’s fat ass. I think that BET wanted us to talk shit about this to boost their ratings, they know what they are doing.

WAIT HOLD UP..BOBBY MAY HAVE HAD SOME DRUG ISSUES BUT DONT LIE AND SAY OH BOY CANT DANCE BECAUSE BACK IN THE DAY WHAT WAS CALLED DANCING TRUST ME HE HAD THE MOVES !!!! SORRY

Who the F**** still watches BET ?!?!

Seriously.

Missy and Diddy can dance?….better than Ciara?!?!

Chris Brown better than Usher, ummmm……since when!

They might as well have added Cassie and Ashlee Simpson to the list.

“man lie…..women lie….but numbers don’t lie” lol!

But to me my girl AALIYAH would be in the top spot! (Top 5). Get over it life goes on…lol at lease there is a number 25.

@443–Bobby Brown didn’t shit but the pac-man and the f***ing running man and when he wasn’t doin that he was “Humping Around”—- once a crackhead, always a crackhead

Ciara hands down better dancer than Beyonce, Shakira, J-Lo, and Aaliyah(RIP) simply because she gets downnnnnnnnn and still dance like a boy. But against Janet in the Rythmn Nation video days…I don’t know I’m a give that one to Janet because to this day that video is still hot to death.

Now if u tell me to put Ciara against Mya…(sigh) that is a tough one. Take a look back at Mya’s history, the videos, CASE OF THE EX, MY LOVE IS LIKE WHOAH. Mya also has versatility just like Ciara, heels, snickers, tap dance, gets down, and choreography. Janet Jackson Icon tribute Mya killed it with the dance. And she does dances better than Beyonce, Shakira, J-Lo, and again (RIP)Aaliyah.

Look I’m going to keep it real. No..if BET can put Omarion, who can clearly dance better than Chris, on at #15…Chris should have been right there with him.

Usher is a soon to be legend in his own right to be placed at #4 right after Janet Jackson #3. Even though he dances better than her, but Janet set the bar for all females dancers period old or new, end of story.

Now if ur talking in terms who truly deserved to make an appearance on the list old or new….
Sammy Davis Jr. = legendary triple threat
Fred Astaire = style and grace
Mya = flawless experienced dancer
Paula Abdul = No Janet, J-Lo, etc.
Fatima Robison = creativity choreogragphy for MJ and Aaliyah (RIP)
Debbie Allen is it?(the lady from FAME don’t know if I got her name right) = FAME taught Janet too
Josephine Baker = sultry dancer with soulful grace
Genuwine = u can’t front

Oh almost forgot
TLC = What?!! Best Damn Girl Group Ever yall better recognized!!!

Left Eye REST IN PEACE, Crazy.
Chilli “ask Chilli would I be a silly ho” Sexy.
T-Boz still Cool as f**k.

UMM WHY IS BEYONCE BEFORE CIARA?

CIARA SHOULD ATLEAST VE IN THE TOP 5.JANET SHOULD COME RIGHT AFTER HER BROTHER.

SOMEBODY MUST BE SUCKIN’ SOMEBODY’S DICK BECAUSE MISSY,DIDDY,AND BEYONCE SHOULDN’T EVEN BE ON THERE

I DON’T CARE IF DIDDY STARTED OUT MOTHERFUCKIN’ TAP-DANCIN’,HE CAN’T DANCE..HE’S TOO STIFF.

MISSY…SHE JUST CAN’T DANCE

BEYONCE..YEAH I KNOW SHE TOOK DANCE CLASSES AS A CHILD BUT SHE CAN’T DANCE EITHER..BOOTY POPPIN’ AINT DANCIN’

BELLY DANCIN IS A TYPE OF DANCIN SO I SAY SHAKIRA SHOULD’VE BEEN IN THE TOP 10

REPLACE:BEYONCE,MISSY,AND DIDDY FOR:MYA,DEBBIE ALLEN,PAULA ABDUL

beyonce has 0 grooves and big daddy kane…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaa..chris brown is just a better dancer than usher……
but where the hell is ginuwine at…most grooves ever
