Dancing Diva



Jolin had proved to be the genuine Dancing Diva with her undisputed dancing skills in the MV. She had bring dancing to a whole new level, a new dimension. A cross of Indian and Arabic music melted in her every dance move.

At first glance through the MV, I thought the moves were rough. But after a few times watching it, it's way cool! I only thought the moves were rough at first because I still haven't got use to her new style of dancing! But now, the dance moves seemed so energetic, every step was so elegantly done. This new dance moves must have at least required 10 times more power or energy to it than her previous dance moves! The dance steps are changing very fast and she totally moved her whole body in the dance! But of course the 'bowling' part was the most wicked part. I was in awe looking at the way she twisted her body, she made it look so easy. The first part where she slided down with the bowling under her leg is spectacular. Then I love the part she lifted her leg from behind her back! I would like to call it "The Scorpion Move", cos the leg l00ks like scorpion's sting..lol... and then there was the part where she's bouncing with a leg on the floor and the part when she spread her legs wide, she's so flexible and bouncy O_O!!

The ribbon waving part was great too, although I think the camera sort of shoot it from all the wrong angles.. and I don't quite like the background. They should have a black or white background instead. Despite of that, her ribbon waving moves were perfect, elegantly done. Imagine how much hard work she had put in to learn the ribbon thingy. Even when she was shooting for pictures for her new album, she had bruises all over her legs, she just cleverly concealed them in the pics. She had never once complain about how hard it was for all the trainings she had, she even laughed about it when she was concealing the bruises during the photoshoot, saying that if her bruises were captured in the pic, people might thought she's wearing a leopard pattern socks...lol..

The reason i said she had brought dancing to a new level is because they had so cleverly included the aesthetic designs of aerobic moves in her dance! I can't wait to see Jolin performing this song live.

Besides the dance, I love her black nails and the small lil ice cubes on it too. Then there's the splishy splashy water! And the silhouette of her under the spotlight from the background showing off her nice figure!!!

Doesn't anyone think that the Jolin in the desert part resembles a lot of the younger Jolin when she just started of in the music industry? Except of course she's prettier now. I think the transformation of her looks was just her getting mature. There's even a popular line in chinese, which is 女大18变, means when a girl reaches 18 years old, they would change completely, be it looks or personality.

This MV is just a warm up. She has so many more "不可思议" (unimaginable) dance steps, as described by her company director yet to come.

Her 2nd single, 假装 (Prentend) is coming soon. Im guessing that this single would hit the radio on the first week of the album release. This song is a ballad, the MV took place on a bus or sth with Jolin in the MV reminiscing her old lover. I think it's going to be a touching song and would be somewhat similar to 天空 (Tian Kong)'s style. I love Tian Kong's MV so much, I hope this one is as good as Tian Kong!!
