BET’S TOP 25 DANCERS OF ALL TIME
Monday, April 9, 2007

So last week BET aired their top 25 dancers of all time. I’ve been hearing that a lot of people were upset with the results. I personally think the list was ok. And after thinking about it for awhile, I decided that my opinion didn’t mean shit because I’m not really into dance that much.
However, I’m still wondering how the hell Chris Brown made it above Janet Jackson and Usher. WTF? And was it me or did Chris look a little cracked out when he was hosting the show? We need to keep an eye on that fool, something ain’t right.
If you didn’t see BET’s “Top 25 Dancers,” hosted by Chris Brown and choreographer Fatima Robinson, when it first aired, check it out again on April 10th @10 p.m. ET/PT.
Anyway, check out the list after the cut and discuss whether or not you agree with it.
24. Diddy
23. Big Daddy Kane
22. Rosie Perez
21. Gregory Hines
20. Missy Elliott
19. Tina Turner
18. Aaliyah
17. Cab Calloway
16. Shakira
15. Omarion
14. Bobby Brown
13. Jennifer Lopez
12. Alvin Ailey
11. Usher
10. The Temptations
09. Beyoncé
08. Savion Glover
07. MC Hammer
06. Prince
05. Janet Jackson
04. Chris Brown
03. The Nicholas Brothers
02. Michael Jackson
01. James Brown

The whole time watchin, I felt as though the whole thing was a joke. Chris Brown #4…WTF!?!? OVER JANET!?!? How much did he pay BET??? Just look at the list. Legendary, ground-breaking individuals beat out by Mr. “on and poppin.” Nothing against Chris Brown…but just another example why BET is needs to be canceled. And to think I sat and watch that garbage. Shame on me. VH-1 count down would have been more on point than that.

I agreed with the list. Not the order. Beyonce’ & Ciara should switch slots. Diddy need not be on it. I didn’t think Aaliyah was all that great of a dancer..she couldve slid back a few slots. Chris Brown & Usher should’ve swapped.

I knew things would be askew when I tuned in and saw Ciara at number 25. Some of it is accurate– such as James Brown, Michael Jackson, but the rest needs to be re-evaluated.
Ciara is probably the most versatile contemporary dancer of this time so she has got to place higher than Missy, Diddy, Kane, Bobby Brown and Beyonce and others. I can’t stand (I hate) Justin Timberlake, but I would have put him on a list before Diddy.
The Chris Brown/ Janet Jackson diss really discredits BET almost entirely. The boy can dance but I am not for sure he will have so much staying power and inspire so many people like Janet. People still look to the “Pleasure Principle” video to this day for inspiration.
Mya & Paulu Abdul are missing. BET is losing all ground as a credible source these days. I am glad they have Alvin Aliley and some other classic legitimate dancers on their list though.

I do not agreed with the results at all. Especially Ciara being number 25. She is an excellent dancer/performer and her choreography is always tight. Beyonce, I don’t even know why she is on the list. I do not call flopping, rolling around on the ground and flinging your arms around like a mad woman is dancing. I believe Usher, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Omarion and definately Ciara should have been in the top ten. Shakira, Big Daddy Kane and Tina Turner shouldn’t even have been on the list along with a host of other people on this list that didn’t even deserve mention.

This list is funny to me! I agree with most of it but come on now, Diddy? Danity Kane?? WTH??? I love me some Prince but since when has he been a dancer??? Why the hell aren’t Mya or Genuwine on the list?

Did they mean the best skilled dancer or the best choreographed dancer.
One is natural ability and the other is learned-big difference.
Bobby Brown can dance? Since when? and that grinding ish don’t count.
Ciara and beyonce shouldn’t be in the same category-just too different styles of dancing.
BET could have done alot better than this.

THE LIST IS ALL F’D UP!!!!

At 22— You make a good point– Fatima should be ashamed, has she gotten desperate. She is so talented though.
Also, it is tacky to have Chris Brown and Omarion commentating when they themselves were in the competition. They should have used all third parties not being ranked. Since the overlooked Paula Abdul by not placing her on the list (and she is responsible for a lot of janet an j. lo’s work) they should have had her narrate this mess.
Angel I love that picture of Ciara.

Where is Debbie Allen? Where is Fred Astaire? His performances have been mimicked for years.
I don’t really agree with this list. Diddy is not a dancer
How in the hell does MC Hammer and James “never been buried” Brown outweigh Alvin Ailey.
Beyonce is a good performer, but she is no dancer!!!
(there is a difference)

Diddy on this list? WTF! Amerie can dance better than his ass.
Ciara at number 25? WTF!
Chris Brown above Janet and Usher? Hell no!!! He should be at least 25, because the boy is doing moves we seen before.
Who decided this list, and thought it was apporpiate? It’s bullshit and they know it.
Fatima dissapointed me. A trained dancer approving this list?
BET has fallen off.

See people, before they began they–both Fatima & Chris–said that the candidates were not only scored on their pure dance moves but their performance and ability to inspire. if you look at it that way the only thing that they messed up was putting Ciara at #25 and Diddy on the list at all.

At 44 (about 40), I think they know Amerie is a stiff dancer, I think he was being somewhat sarcastic.
I love AMERIE, but she is stiff. However, she looks good on stage becasue she moves and runs around and is beuatiful.

Ok lets get it stright if you didnt see the show at all. I mad that they put Ciara at number 25 too, but get over it already. Puffy, he used to dance back in the day and thats what they showed on the show, when he was dancin in his younger years. Missy is on the list because of her futurestic type of style and dance(thats what they said). Aaliyah is on there because they said she moved so naturally, plus she is dancer because she went to a performing arts school and was train in both dance and vocal(Detroit school of arts)So please dont say she was not that much of a dancer because list basically on how inivative you are as a dancer and your style. I must admit a few got snub from the list and their number spot. The reason why Beyonce is there is because of her movement in dance her style and spirit of the modern day Tina Turner. Thats why she is on the list so please dont hate on her(thanks). Prince did dancing in heels with alot of momentom so thats why they gave him a spot. Even though I dont agree with his number, his spot deals with alot of stuff, his age, his style, and his showmenship.

Also im pissed off cuz they put Chris Brown at #4 WTF was that for. The boy va dance but he ain’t all that. Him and Ciara could have easily switch places…But Im happy to see Beyonce in the top 10!

From the clips that I saw I can’t believe Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers weren’t in the top 5! I do think that Ciara should have gotten a better ranking. I know I may get alot of backlash for this but I think Ciara is a better dancer than Janet!

Yeah, this list is bogus.. I couldn’t stop saying WTF when Aaliyah topped Tina Turner..Sorry, folks, but Aaliyah wasn’t THAT great..she was just pretty! And Ciara should have been higher, Debbie Allen and Paula Abdul should have been on the list and Chris Brown, Omarion should have been lower in the list… Beyonce not on the list at all, she really don’t do much but shake and swing the weave..

What I don’t understand is how Beyonce is higher that Tina Turner when she is a copies her moves. She shouldnt be on the list at all. She can dance, but greatest of all time? No way. Diddy one of the greatest dancers of all time? Come on people. Shakira? Don’t understand that. Ciara at 25 is crazy. Missy Elliot? BET can do better than that. BET needs to do better than that. They are losing it.

Ciara should not have been at 25 she should have at least been in the top 15. And beyonce should have not been below 15. she can dance but shes not a natural dancer. and missy, puffy, & bobby should not have been on the list at all.

Didn’t BET lose their credibility with their lists when they overlooked the conception of BET as one of the 25 moments that misshaped black america? There’s no way you can take this list seriously.
*No way should Beyonce be 13 spaces higher than Ciara
*You can’t have Aaliyah on the list and not Mya
*How you gonna have Shakira and JLo and not Paula Abdul?
*Hate all you want, Britney Spears is better than at least ten people on this list (If you are counting of all time then be for real about it.)
*The top 2 are right, but Chris Breezy over Janet is just the typical foolishness you would expect with Bet. What will happen to him once we are all finished with crumping?

I think the top five should have been like this.
1. Micheal Jackson
2. James Brown
3. Janet Jackson
4. Usher
5. Beyonce or Hammer
and then maybe Chris Brown & Ciara after Beyonce & hammer.

I love Aaliyah I think she was great at what she did but dancing was not her thing I don’t even think she should be on this list. I think Ciara should have been a little higher and Chris Brown a little lower. The Top Five should be James Brown, MJ, Usher, Hammer, and Janet Jackson.

Here is my opinion and again I say my opinion….Debbie Allen should have been on there….Paula Abdul should have been on there….James Brown deserved number #1 because everyone got there moves from James Brown from Michael Jackon to Prince to the young bucks that’s coming up now so James Brown deserved to be #1….Tina Turner deserved to be on there cause for her to be pushing 70 she will shake Beyonce to shame I can’t keep up with Tina….Chris Brown I don’t care what no one says…that boy can dance his butt off…Fatima has put in work….she should have been on there…if she can teach Stevie Wonder to dance that’s a bad chick….Rosie that was joke….she is not a good chorographer….Columbus Short and Darrin DeWitt he played Lem in Soul Food and in Stompin the Yard those 2 can dance as well…..so that’s my opinion…

to #39, Get Me bodied………… You call that dancing??????? Really??????? I call that moving….to tha beat…. Its a different. Tha show i guess gave the artists props for the most “respected” moves. Like beyonce with the “uh oh” dance, or shakira with tha belly thing…… Im guessing… but me personally Ciara would have been at least in the top 10! Damn if not that at least the top 20…. Shakira shouldn’t have even been on the show. She dosen’t even appear on BET so why is she even apart of it (besides beautiful lier). I dont know whats wrong with bet.

I knew that it was time to change the channel when Diidy made the list. And Aalliyah danced waaaay better than them other females that beat her out.

Didnt watch the show, but i had to laugh when i saw the list. Now im not a huge fan of Ms Ciara, but I know the chick can dance her ass off, and there is no reason why she should be at #25. Not too sure why Chris Brown is so high on the list. And Come on sure Shakira can do da damn thing when she belly dances but ive never seen her do anything else. Definately agree with 1 & 2. I dont know WHO made this order up, but im sure they were listening to some ones 13 year old who thinks great dancing is Chicken noodle soup

I think BET gave this assignment to some interns who obviously have no clue. It seems like some of the major people who paved the way, were just randomly thrown in there.
Anyone who thinks that Chris Brown dances better than Gregory Hines and Savion needs to be pimp slapped. JMO

I think everyone KNOWS Ciara should have been higher then number freakin 25!!!
I know some of ya’ll are gonna hate me for saying this but Ciara dances better then Janet and Aaliyah…and I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Aaliyah. Aaliyah’s style was smooth but Ciara gets down…I mean that bytch can do it all, she is way more hardcore if you know what I mean.
Look at the music videos of Aaliyah and Ciara…its like Ciara took Aaliyah’s style and basically ran with it. Ciara is probably the closest to Aaliyah that we will ever get…

1) ciara against beyonce….bey has nailed the whole sexapeal and dancing thing but lets be frank…ciara would crush her in complexity alone
2) chris brown against avlin ailey…gimme a break…chis is ios your basic krumping dancer…but how many are good enough to start their own ballet company?
this list is logically askew

I THINK THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MICHAEL JACKSON AND JAMES BROWN, THEY JUST PULLED THE REST OF THE NAMES OUT OF A HAT AN STUCK THEM WHEREVER. ITS STUPID TO HAVE A LIST THAT’S MIXED LIKE THAT. HOW CAN YOU REALLY COMPARE THOSE WITH EDUCATION,TRAINING, AND NATURAL TALENT, TO THE PEOPLE WHOSE EVERY DANCE MOVE WE’VE SEEN WAS CHOREOGRAPHED.

LMAOOO@ TEMPTATIONS LMAOOOOOO

Im gonna have to disagree with you on the Tempts they were trendsetters in dance and everyone tried to imitate them especially their signature dance the Tempt Walk. They brothers knew how to get down.they stil are an inspiration to many performers today.
Im glad to seen the Nicholas brothers on the list. I love them. They are amazing performers. Their dance scene in Stormy Weather was pure genius on of the best dance scenes in cinema history
We all know BET is full of shit

I honestly don’t believe this shit. BET look like they just threw some shit together and called a hot young star (Chris Brown, who they advertised as the host and forgot Fatima) to get some publicity. This list is too shitty.
The Temptations some pioneers but they move require no skill. I was watching they movie when I was like 10 doing them simple ass moves (how they get in the top ten). Ciara at 25 BULLSHIT. When Chris Brown said “goodies” i said they better not have her at the bottom. they suck ass for dat. I know Ciara was a lil’ ticked off. And how can the host of the show make it on da countdown. Chris shoulda been excluded and only thing he good at is crumping so they can sit back with that shit. Tina Turner, yeah she good she deserve the list. But Beyonce shoulda been under her cause she jacked Tina’s whole “everything”. And would some1 tell me why the fuck is Diddy, Prince, Missy And Bobby on the list? This shit is crazy. FUCK BET!

James Brown and Tina Turner should have been number one and two on that list. they taught everybody on that list something about commanding a stage. Hell Tina is still doing the damn thing and she is damn near 90. BET needs to get it together and do it fast.

So to prove a point about Beyonce’s dance talent you refer us to “Get Me Bodied.” I peeped that video a week ago and I watched it again thinking I had missed something as you speak so strongly about it. I did not miss anything and you wasted my time by having me review it again.
At what time mark are you referring to? She is moving to the beat alright and sho nuff got her steps down, but there is nothing special about it- not something I need to see again, not something I aspire to do and not something that suggests she is a best dancer of all time. To be frank, she has better moves than this in other videos.

I dont even like ciara AT ALL and it light-weight made me smile 2 see her at 25 LoL…but to be real, AINT NO WAY IN HELL SHE SHOULDA BEEN @ 25! The least she deserved was the 10 spot cuzz the gurrl can be murderous with her moves..I dont unnderstand how Beyonce (who only catches seizures on stage and calls it dancing) beat out Tina Turner AND Aaliyah AND Ciara And Rosie Perez (Ya’ll Can Say What ya Want About Rosie But If Ya’ll Saw ALL THose Episodes Of In Living Color, Ya’ll Would Know That SHE KILLZ IT WIT DANCIN! She’s Pretty Good)…That’s Ridiculous, Beyonce Can Barely Dance..She gets hours of choreography just to learn those simple as moves that we all can dO! Chris Brown beats out Ush And Janet..Now, I’m cryin tears over that shyt..
And I dont care what none of ya’ll say..I do not think that Ciara could dance better than Janet..In most of Ciara’s vidoes, I see nothing but Janet moves…Her flexibility is KRAZY but thats the only thang I can give her on Janet

The reason why they think Ciara is better than Janet is because Ciara can deliver choreography AND freestyle like nobody’s business. They want to see Janet freestyle.
I love both Janet and Ciara immensely, so I am not suggesting who I think is better. However, I think Janet has influenced Ciara beyond measure. I also think Ciara has influenced Janet recently as well, which speaks to how good she really is.

Imma be for real. If half of y’ all were asked to list ur top 15, not many would’ve thought of James Brown as number 1. If James Brown were alive, he’ll be like number 15 or sumthin. Michael Jackson should be number 1, and Janet close by. Ciara is def, top 5 to me. Chris Brown and Beyonce are top 10 tho. But Shakira aint black, so why she there? if u have Shakira, then put some white ppl on it lol. I mean Britney Spears can dance better than Diddy. Diddy can dance, but top dancer of ALL TIME?? come on, if this was top 100, then Diddy would be number 90 or sumthin. And since when was Prince known for dancing?? why is he number 6. this list is so wrong. Ciara, at 25, C’mon! Triflin nonsense

To 112 & 115 Noname:
I see where you are coming from as their is oversight (perhaps intentional oversight) in regard to many of the legends. However, this is BET, which also has to take into consideration current artists and their impacts, which they did. BET is a pop culture icon- not just a history icon (ie The History Channel).
Once you understand the difficult task at hand, it becomes obvious why certain recent names are included. However, the order is still wrong.
Of course Ciara belongs on this list because she brings her on style in the contemporary and we can trace her work back to other greats For example, we see M. Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” and J. Jackson’s “Pleasure Principle” in Ciara’s “Promise.” So if Michael inspired Ciara then lets talk about those who inspired Michael– James Brown, The Nicholas Brothers, maybe Sammy Davis Jr. and possibly Alvin Ailey. So these contemporary artists make sense as they show a full circle of inspiration and how dance transcends boundaries such as generation and time.
However, Ciara still should have been ranked higher simply because she is better than most of her counterparts. Her counterparts in this list are Beyonce, Omarion, Usher, Chris Brown, and maybe J. Lo.
Get it?

see the bull i’m talking about and the overratedness of beyonce. this is simply managers calling in and making this list and the people with the greatest influence got the high ranking. just at the case with thise ‘most beautiful’ lists that magazines put out.
as for ciara. ciara fans need to fall back and concede that janet is better simply out of respect for the elders. we all know the only thing they have in common is that they’re both brown skin with black hair and they dance. we all know ciara bodies janet even in janet’s prime. and janet could deliver a routine like the ‘goodies’ routine to save her life. but like i said respect your elders and move on from that argument.

I saw the show but I only saw the top 14 when they started with Bobby Brown. That fool aint no great dancer at all. He danced in the 90’s, so what? Big Daddy Kane, Diddy, and MCHammer are not remembered dancers at all. Diddy looks like a jackass when he dances and the rest of those male rappers and singers had them silly dances we remember from back in the day.
Rosie Perez??? I didn’t even know she danced all I knew was she was a whore in White Boy can’t Jump.
I love the way Shakira moves, but what the hell was she doing on the list?
Missy Elliot aint no damn dancer!
Chris Brown at number 4? I was thinking the exact same thing, how the hell did he beat Janet Jackson and even Ciara on the countdown.
Ciara at least should’ve been number 10. Why the hell was she at the bottom of the list? She’s the most skilled female dancer of today. Her ass is moving better than Janet right now!
Aaliyah definitely should’ve been in the top 10, she moved like no one else in R&B music and had her own style.
And don’t even get me started on Beyawwnce! That made me mad knowing she was as high on the list as she was. People always kiss her ass. On the show they say she was the hardest working woman in music right now, no she’s the most desperate spotlight hogger of our time. She don’t do nothing we haven’t seen in the clubs since 1999. Shake your ass and nappy weave, and roll all over the place like your having a seizure or an orgasm.

YOu see if you were to ask one of the higher ups at bet they would tell you that in no way were these names in chronological order of least talented to most talented. They just make it look like that. They just put a whole bunch of notable dancers on a list. I do feel that they should of put some kind of order to it. Chris was acting that way because they aren’t watching the entire show like the viewers they are just doing improv from a screen. They are the hosts having to entertain so i’m pretty sure when they asked Chris to do the Michael Jackson thing on the spot it kind of through him for a loop too

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..

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?

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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??

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…….

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

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!

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

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!

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 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.

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

as far as beyonce goes ciara knows that her dancing is A LOT BETTER than her vocals which is why she focuses on it but if she can sing(which she can listen to her song insecure or watch a clip of access granted when she sings accapella)and dance why not do it and that’s what she is doing but she is focusing on her dancing cause that is wat she loves and it makes more sense to focus more on wat your good at than wat ur not espicially when we all know that that is wat she is known and popular for but beyonce has a lot more practice and experince in the game which is why she can sing and dance at the same time so well give ci some time i am sure she could do that 2 less vocal skills than beyonce but still….

I mean, u cant even compare whitney’s voice to aaliyah, its two different styles of singing. All im saying is that i like ciara, and i think she’s a great dancer, but to everyone else, she is the best because she doesnt have any competition. Beyonce aint all that. Really, who else is out there? Aaliyah’s style of dance fit her own personal style: smooth and laid back. Im pretty sure she put 100% in ALL she did. Like i said, aaliyah died in 2001. Who knows how her skills couldve been in 2007? To me, ciara is a re-hashed aaliyah, and thats the truth, whether one likes it or not.

^^ i dont think ciara is better than janet..watch janet’s old videos from the 80’s..plus ciara does that same played out “bend over backwards” move in damn near all her videos and performances..heck she does a lot of the same moves wherever you see her.but i do agree she coulda been higher than 25.. I think the order was pretty good except for diddy? Missy? i dont understand wtf they’re on there..i wish Aaliyah had been at least #11. I like Bee. too..but she shouldn’t have been that high up either.

I left the room right after Ciara Harris was 25!!! WOW!!!
This list was hot moldy grits. I think Chris is a good dancer; he should have been, like in the top 18 though. Ciara is the one getting people ATTEMPTING to do her moves. I saw some white girls in the hall trying to do it today(f-ing hilarious). That girl is influencial in her time whether some of ya’ll except it or not. I think the Top 3 was perfect. The Nicholas Brothers are CRAZY!!! Michael and James were in the right spot. Janet should have been 4 only because “you must respect your elders, they paved the way.” Aaliyah was not that great to me to be honest. She was pretty much…um…boring. I would have gave her 24, gave Beyonce 25(she is more spaztic) and took Diddy’s simple ass, Missy, BDK and Shakira off the list.

I am a dancer as well, and I just want to thank you for expressing your opinion to me in a respectful manner. I am a BIG Aaliyah fan, repping Detroit. I got to meet her a few times, my bro went to DSA, and she was a beautiful person. I guess we have to agree to disagree.=) And for a lot of ppl wondering why Missy was on the list, I have to agree with the person who said tha BIG Missy was stepping long before the SKINTY (lol) Missy. Hit Em Wit Da Hee, Nicole Wray’s Make It Hot, etc. That’s when Missy, Tim, Playa and Ginuwine was HOT in the late 90’s.

I most def. don’t agree with the list, but I ALSO have to disagree with some of you all about Ciara and Aaliyah. While I agree Ciara can dance, and she should have been higher, but not that much. It said ALL TIMES. Aaliyah deserves MORE credit then some of you are giving. You think she was ‘boring’ but her style was.. LAID BACK. She graduated from SCHOOL FOR DANCING. Then, we all wanted to learn her dance moves, just like you do now with Ciara. Dancing is so much more agreessive NOW then it was THEN. Who know’s how Aaliyah would dance now! Dancing has changed SO much!

Some of the people on here need to know that Janet would tear down Ciara in some kinda dance battle. I’m 17 and I swear I’ve seen the “Pleasure Principle” video a million times, and her dancing in that video alone made me almost wanna be a dancer.

All real dudes know that Hammer is the greatest dancer of all time. Just watch the pumps and a bump video (not the gay version, the gangsta one). But seriously, Mc Hammer is probably the most athletic dancer of all times. And while everybody had begun to dance like Michael Jackson (Terrence Trent Darby), MC Hammer made it ok to not have a perm in your head.

there are a lot of things wrong with this list, Omarion should be in the top 10, Diddy shouldn’t be on the list, Missy Elliot wtf?! Ciara should be MUCH closer to Aaliyah and Bobby Brown and MC Hammer should be lower. And Usher is a more versitile dancer than Chris Brown but Chris would crush him in a dance battle (Ursh is definately not a battle dancer). Also if Shakira made on this list then Justin Timberlake shoulda made it on the list.

The reason I think they put Ciara in the #25 spot is because she is a woman. If Ciara was a dude, she would have been quickly added to the top 10 list. But just because this was aired on television doesn’t mean it’s acurate. We all know Ciara can dance better than the spot they gave her.
Chris Brown can really get down, but so can Omarion. I do believe Janet should have came in at Number 4. I can’t lie, that was hot when the Nicolas Bros. were jumpin’ down the stairs. That looked painful!!! But chill folks, b/c WE really know what the deal is!!!

Justin Timberlake wasn’t on the list simply because he isn’t a person of Color. But lets be real about this. James Brown moves around like he has Fire Ants biteing at his feet. Michael Jackson should have been number 1 and I think most of believe that. Usher is more of a verstiale dancer over Chris Brown. MC Hammer COME ON…… Bobby Brown COME ON! Everyone can hump the damn floor, that isn’t anything talanted. Ciara should have swaped places with Aaliyah and lets face it really Tina Turner on the list? Anyone can jump around on the spot or fling there head around in circles. Prince is just purely a FAG and if a dude wears makeup we know he got some serious issues and clarity on what sex he batting for. Beyonce did earn her right to be there, but is everyone sick and tired of hearing about how she needs to get into this role of “sasha” that girl is a free spirited FREAK and that shows in her dancing, the only act that she has is telling us all that she isn’t a confident dancer…. I aint hating I wish I could dance like the girl. BET seriously needs to re-think their list. And 25 best dancers of all time, seriously how can you compare Ballet or Jazz dancing to hip hop? It should have read 25 best hip hop dancers.

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.

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.

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**

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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!

Monday, April 9, 2007 /
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!

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 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.

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

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

Ciara at number 25 is just crazy, Diddy was plastic dancing in his videos and gets higher.

BET has definitely lost some points here. I cannot understand how Diddy and Missy made that list. Also, Ciara should have been higher and Beyonce lower. And there are quite a few other MISplacements.
On top of it…the worst thing is not MYA! And to think Mya even used to dance for BET lol. But that aside, Mya is a kick ass dancer and very versatile too and her tapping is great.
For whoever said Mya didn’t need to be on it and on top of it, Amerie is better than Mya? You are a damn fool. Amerie cannot dance!? Don’t let that very well choreographed “One Thing” video fool you. I don’t see where else she has danced so get yourself together now.
In summary, that list was straight crap. I can’t believe they even bothered. I am sure even celebrities are infuriated by that mock up list. BET, total let down and a total embarrassment.
P.S. And when did being in the limelight make you a dancer? Mya and Genuwine might’ve been down for a minute, but so too has Bobby Brown, MC Hammer and many others on that list so WTF?

Please 40 is not old Janet can still do the damn thang…if Tina can still “Shake a Tail Feather” in her 60’s and Eartha Kitt can kick her leg higher than any of us…in..her 70’s then Janet being 40 has nothing to do with her dancing ability…and no one taught Janet to dance….she already had the natural talent to dance and the same for Michael….Paula Abdul just did most of her chorography in her early days and Janet’s girl Tina Landon should be on there for her work with Janet during her “If” days….I agree with Mya should be on there….cause she was trained to do Tap and Jazz…..Shabba Doo and Turbo from the movies “Breakin” should be on there and the Rock Steady Crew….

Lol at people asking why [insert white person here] isn’t on the list. This is BET. You know, BLACK entertainment television?
LOL if ya’ll think Ciara can out dance Janet. Maybe in a heel-and-toe or booty clap contest, Lmao. What the hell? Give me a break. I’d love to see that broad do real choreography. NONE of these chicken heads could fuck with “Rhythm Nation”. How you going to compare Ciara on her hands and knees hopping her butt on stage to Janet dancing hard as hell like in the Grammys ;WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY’ performance (in heels)?? Sumersaults and splits in The Pleasure riniciple/NastY? Ya’ll better act like you know. lol
Mizzeshy you are stupid as shit if you think Janet should be #25. And no, Michael did not get “all his moves” from James, that is false. He has his own style and is completely distinguishable in his own right.
With all due respect to James Brown (God rest his soul) I would still put Michael Jackson above him. That man owns EVERYONE. Yes, even the Godfather.

that list was bullshit
ciara can dance but honestly, she should have been somewhere at the bottom along with chris brown
the list isn’t based on who’s hot now
its supposed to be greatest of all time, so some of you all are saying ciara should have been number 5? Think about it, is she really up there with Michael Jackson?
HELL NO
Nor his chris brown
that list was a joke
diddy shouldnt have even been on there
Beyonce can’t dance better than Usher
Diddy doesn’t dance better than Ciara
Bojangles wasn’t even on the list
it was just complete bullshit.
I dont even watch BET anymore. Its just coon nation. I’ll rather watch VH1 and youtube vidoes that I like!

and by reading some of these comments…
u can tell the young people from the older people
gosh…
damn shame really
going back and fourth isn’t gonna change anyone’s opinions.
and personally, i feel beyonce dances way better than Ciara. Beyonce is a great performer. She’s kinda annoying but it is what it is. Also Mya dances better than Ciara too.
if you don’t believe me
go and watch “Case of the Ex” or “My Love is like Whoa”
and I’m still buggin that Ginuwine wasn’t even on there

WHAT THE BLAZES IS THIS SHIT?!!
Chris Brown should never EVER be @ no.4. He shouldn’t even be @ no.44! I don’t give a flying f*** if he can crump, hump or dump. Janet was the business and should’ve been top 3.
Paula Abdul and Tina Landon should also have been in there.
And if Chris Brown could get in the list (and he was presenting), why didn’t Fatima Robinson?
I rest my case.

At 463, it is rather presumptuous of you to assume that you can decipher which poster is from what generation. Don’t you think? Well, never mind what you think.
You are suggesting that Beyonce dances better than Ciara? Get serious. Perhaps, the smoke screen of weed has clouded your vision in your low income housing project apartment. Ciara actually dances (please refer to me previous posts for a more didactic explanation).

What the hell is Ciara doing at no. 25? She should’ve been in the top 15 at least and Chris Brown ain’t got no business in the top 5. Why is Beyonce on the list especially as the no. 9 dancer? BET need to quit. They should’ve picked actual dancers because Missy, Beyonce, or Diddy qualify. In my opinion

Tuesday, April 10, 2007 /
Janet should have been closer to number 1. Chris Brown is a bit better dancer than Usher, for his age. How on earth did Beyonce get a higher spot than Aaliyah? That makes no sense. This was a list of 75% popularity and who is more famous or currently favored in the media, dancing must have only been 30% of the decision making, which allowed Oldies like Hammer and James Brown the respect they deserved on GP.

shut the F*ck up all u whose dissin chris coz he deserves that spot…ok, maybe usher and janet shouldve been higher, but chris still deserves that spot. Have u seen the boy dance??! wat he can do, i aint never seen anyone do..
But ciara definitely should not have been 25, man that’s an insult!
BUT wtf is ur problem “keep an eye on that fool something aint right”
There’s nothing wrong with chris brown, u need to stop hating!
There’s a reason why HE above usher and anyone else performed Thriller at the World Music Awards. He’s still young, but one day he’s gonna shine, and you all gonna get a smack on ur face for it

I cant believe some of you are actuall trippn because ciara was #25 lets face it the girl can move but she aint no legend in the makin and all of her moves are repeats. the only thing that she ever did that janet didnt do was the matrix and Im pretty sure janet would kill it if she tried. to even but ciara and janet in the same sentence is bogus people just hype ciara up because she is young but everyonce knows janet will dance circles are over that child. Ciara omarion chris brown beyonce etc should have been at the bottom of that list. No legends should have been towards the back and yall also have to remember that there are so many styles of dancing thats why shakira and other people are on there too. beyonce is a trained dancer and ciara is a natural dancer…..so what whether you are trained or not if you can dance you can dance and thats it period. ciara and the rest of them newbies know they cant hold a candle to these older cats. janet deserved to be the top female dancer because she is

ANYBODY can do dat. and ya’ll hatas like saying usher ain’t young and chris is… it’s not the top 25 young dancers it’s for any ultimate best dancers. GET THAT STRAIGHT. it’s a difference stupid! michael is old and james usher ain’t da only one if u haven’t notice! BET just messed up on usher’s score, ciara’s score and B needa gone somewhere out of dat list! other than dat all of dem can dance.

This is no hating this is fact and plus Omarion dances better than this kid anyways. I was quite suprised they put him at #15 and let Chris go higher than him or Janet. BET yall on some high undefined drugs. I don’t care what anybody says BET is playing favortism for hot artists of now. They failed to aknowledge other artists that deserved to be on the countdown artists who’ve been dancing for years. Please check urselves. The fact that they named it “of all time” is joke on BET themselves.

All I can say is TISK TISK TISK, BET yet again messed a something good in black culture, yes they did it again. But honestly there will always be controversy to this list because it is true that a few great dancers were left out and the order is completely wrong. But its clear that everyone in the world jus about agrees that chris brown shouldnt e in the top, yet alone the top 15, usher got seriously disrespected by this, why is diddy, missy and Bog daddy kane on the list, clearly ginuwine is a better dancer than all three and he’s not mentioned, debbie allen, charlie atkins, paula abdul, and there are several more to name, Ciara is a better than beyonce at dancing, as said beyonce is a great entertainer performer, there is a difference, and aaliyah made the hip roll famous, a lot of people for get she should be a lil lower, this list is a joke and BET has put out another disappointment yet again, whats next to mess up, the top 25 singers of all time??

OKAY PEOPLES…I think we can all agree that a bunch of old office executives came up with this list. Chris was in the top 5 because lil buddy is hella talented and has a bright future with dance and he hosted the damn show! Janet is old…she is like dance history, but we haven’t heard too much from her lately. Hammer??? Well nuff said. Bobby Brown was great then, but what is HE doing now? James Brown is dead…not going to be seeing nothin new from him. Tina Turner? Retired…but its safe to say what you think doesn’t matter cuz BET does whatever they want and can put whomever they want on THEIR list. Not to sound like a smartass, but just saying… :-p

As a dancer, I think the list is pretty accurate with the exception of ciara, aaliyah, and usher. If anything they all should have been at least in the top ten. But why hate on Chris Brown? Personally I think he’s one of the most talented people out there right now. He deserves to be in the top spot because I know he busted his ass to get where he is now. And I seen him perform live, twice. And he is one hell of a performer to be his age. And his dance moves I have never seen them performed like he does it. I understand that everybody has their own opinion, but I can’t hate on anybody that’s out there doing the damn thing right now. If anything I congradulate all of the people on that list… including Mr. Chris Brown.

I was shocked, outraged, and confused as to how and who put this list of people together…Sammy Davis, Debbie Allen, and others were missed….some great ones were there, M.and J. Jackson, Greg Hines, and James Brown….Shakira - I don’t stink so….Chris Brown - too high, and anyone who is influenced by another dancer should be listed in a higher position….How can Savion Be lower than Greg…..There would be NO Savion if Greg didn’t teach him….along with others…Many of those women were infuenced by Janet yet get a better position on the list…That right there makes the list null and void…Plus how do you compare Usher to A. Alley - Usher is an entertainer and Alvin created a style that is named after him because it is so original . The Nicholas Brothers, Janet, even J.lo and Rosie are great list choices - But there are enough original dancers and Choreographers that could have made this list much more attractive. When an entire style is named after you (Bob Fosse) how can you be left off the great dancers list??????

SOME OF THE VIEWERS NO NO IDEA ABOUR LEGENDS…
JOSEPHINE BAKER AND DEBBIE ALLEN ARE GREAT. TINA TURNER IS THE GRAND FEMALE DANCER OF HER TIME…
COMPARE BEYONCE ON THE KENNEDY HONORS OF PROUD MARY TO TINA IN 1970 ON ED SULLIVAN. THERE IS NO COMPARISON. TINA DANCES HRDER THAT ALL OTHER FEMALES IN THE BUSINESS. WE MUST NOT FORGET THE PAST…

The list is plain f**ked up. I dont know how much some artist paid BET to get them on the list.
#1 James. He is what started all this. Michael learned from him so we need to pay respect to the old guy. But if you are really taking about best talent no doubt its Michael. Just look at those videos of him dancing when he was 10.
I dont care about the rest. Most of them are not good enough to be mentioned.
Top 5 to me:
#1 James Brown (Respect. But Michael should be #1)
#2 Michael Jackson
#3 Usher
#4 Janet Jackson
#5 Ciara

First of all…WHY THE HELL WAS CIARA #25?????????? She can easily outdance literally half the ppl on that countdown. (Yea, i’m talking mainly about Beyonce!) Ever since Ciara came out i guess Beyonce has felt the need to compete being that Ciara is a true threat in the R&B Females slot! But all Beyonce does is imitate Ciara…Think about it. Ciara’s “Like A Boy” video and Beyonce’s “Upgrade U” video. Beyonce dresses up like a boy while the girly Beyonce dances around her!!! Too similar! And Beyonce never died her hair black until Ciara did it! Hell…she’s inspired by Ciara! Also, ever since Ciara’s been out, she’s also been known as CiCi or just “C”. Now Beyonce wants to become “B” all of a sudden?!?!? They DEFINITELY should have their switched spots on that countdown! Ciara has NATURAL talent with dancing. Beyonce has nothing more than CHOREOGRAPHICALL skills. Beyonce…ya can’t get on CiCi’s level chick…

Let’s see…
CIARA can easily outdance…
/Diddy(oh please!)
/Big Daddy Kane(whatever!)
/Rosie Perez(in her sleep.)
/Missy(come on now…yall saw the “1,2 Step” video!)
/Tina Turner(of course!!!)
/Aaliyah(yea, yall kno itz true!)
/Shakira(yea…CiCi can belly dance too. But I bet Shakira can’t wind &rock her hips like Ciara!)
/Bobby Brown(seriously ppl.)
/Omarion(DEFINITELY!)
/Jennifer Lopez(yep…)
/Beyonce(even though she tries, Beyonce cant compete!)
/MC Hammer(yea C can move her legs around too!)
/Prince(not even a real dancer!)
/Janet Jackson(Ciara perfected ur moves at age 7!)
/Chris Brown(with ease!)
Ciara should’ve easily been in the top 5!!!!
My Top 5 Picks:
1.Michael Jackson
2.James Brown
3.Usher
4.Ciara
5.The Nicholas Brothers

I DO NOT agree with this list at all, how is Ciara number 25 but Diddy is before her. And how are Omarion, Usher, Ciara and Jennifer Lopez not in the top 10? Beyonce can dance, I will give her that, but she should not have made it on the list higher than any of the names I just mentioned. And what happened to Ginuwine?????

Just saw this list last night, and I agree that Debbie Allen and Fatima were glaring omissions, and so is my idol, Frankie Manning. Most people don’t know who Frankie is, but he is one the original swing dancers from the 30’s in Harlem and practically invented the dance! He was a technical (dance) advisor for Spike Lee’s Malcolm X. Go to YouTube and check him out in Hellzapoppin’! The man is in his 90’s now and still teaches–let’s see if Chris Brown (#4?) can say that in 70 years!

I think they made a good choice by putting James Brown at #1 and Michael Jackson at #2 because Michael Jackson said that James Brown was his idol..That a good choice but I’m a Chris Brown fan and all but how in the hell he made number 4 before
Usher and Janet Jackson….Chris Brown could had been #10 or something..Then only reason he #4 was he was co-hosting it…And how Ciara became #25? To Me..I Was suprised that Mya didn’t make it.

HOW DA HELL CHRIS BROWN MADE IT BEFORE ALVIN AILEY, GREGORY HINES, AND CAB CALLOWAY!! I THINK HE COULD HAD BEEN 15 OR 10 DON’T NOT NO FOUR!! CIARA SHOULD HAD A HIGHER NUMBER..AND IF MISSY A FEMALE VERSION OF HEAVY D WHERE HE ON THE LIST.. CHRIS BROWN A GOOD DANCER AND ALL BUT U NEED TO SEE HIM TO MORE THINGS BEFORE MAKING NUMBER 4 AND WHY WAS LAURIE ANN GIBSON ISN’T ON THE LIST THEY NEED TO MAKE BET’S TOP 50 DANCERS OF ALL TIME.

I didn’t know about this countdown back in April, it’s on again tonight (Sept. 10, 2007). I thought for sure my girl would be on the list but she’s not. What a load of crap. How could they not have included PAULA ABDUL. Half the women on that list were most likely inspired by Paula. Like her or hate her, there has been no better dancer in pop music before or since Paula. Give the girl her due - this list is crap.

Personally, Michael is my all-time #1. I’m not mad at them for putting James Brown at #1 although I thought the montage of him was absolute shit. And where’s Jackie Wilson? He’s responsible for James Brown AND Michael Jackson. Chris Brown: I give him credit but not #4. Sorry, Prince can rip it, say what you want about his style of dress but he can move better than any female wearing high heels. Bobby Brown is responsible for this generation’s R&B singers so he deserved to be put up there. What the hell was Rosie Perez doing up there??? I could go on forever and ever but it wouldn’t make a difference. BET has disappointed us once again.

Beyonce, Diddy and CHRIS BROWN (!!) don’t belong anywhere near that list.
Beyonce is just a wannabe Tina Turner.
Diddy, what dancing has he ever done?
Chris Brown, basically copying Usher trying to be Michael Jackson. Sit down lil fool.
BET dont know they shit anymore!
