The Better Dancer? Usher or P (revisited)

Want an answer to this question? See the following P videos:

"Thieves in the Temple" (incredible dancing!!!)
"Batdance" (flips, splits, high jumping jacks...all in 4-inch heels!!!)
"Alphabet Street"
"Partyman"
"My Name is Prince" (especially the part where he jumps from a latter and crawls on his hands and does a scissor-like dance)

It's been years since I've seen these videos, but after watching them, I challenge ANYONE who continues to argue that *Ursher* is better.

Hey, u missed out "Cream" which has some of the best choreography I've seen in any video!

"Theives....." is funny to watch, as Prince goes all Mc Hammer on us with the gameboyz as back up! If u watch, the dancing is not tight at all, but the vid is great and some of the moves are cool! The atmosphere is very NewJack too!


Sorry, but Usher is the better dancer! His moves are unique and innovative which is very hard to do in dancing! p just busts a few moves but considering the ammount of other stuff he ca do, it is incredable that he can dance alright too!

Prince is just average-sometimes good! Usher,even with sucky music,is easily one of the best dancer of the last 5 years or so!

All you need to do is watch Sign O' the Times and check out "Housequake" and "hot Thing".

Did someone say Detroit Crawl?
"New Power slide...."

I still haven't seen usher do anything but that kind of Jackson, breakdance stuff... does he do more?

Thieves in the Temple video (long one) seems to have better dancing featured by Prince. Full body motion, not just arm twists and pop and locks.

Put it this way, Prince has never been a natural dancer. Don't believe me? check out his early videos (Dirty Mind, I Wanna Be Your Lover etc). Some of his dancing in them is just plain embarrasing, even in his later videos (Gett Off) he throws some startling shapes. I wouldn't say he's a great dancer at all. Good maybe, not great.

He has some moves down though.His splits are cool, and the whole of Housequake on SOTT is amazing. that's the best choreography he's ever done imo.



Having said that, Usher is a diseased cock.
