Top 10 Singers Who Are Terrible at Dancing


[Music]
Monday these musicians can feel the beat
but their two left feet often lead to
dancing fails welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 singers who can’t
dance for this list we’re focusing on
notable entertainers that are not quite
as coordinated as their musical peers
when it comes to fancy footwork we’re
not saying they’re bad performance
because of their weak dance skills we’re
just offering a public service
announcement so that mojo holux know
what to expect at live shows nobody told
me about this well here we go number 10
Katy Perry
[Applause]
to the credit of this international pop
star she is far more than just the
bubblegum sex symbol then again Katy
Perry isn’t known for her stage agility
and complex dance routines
[Music]
most often she’ll glide across the stage
capitalizing on her undeniable Grace and
presence perhaps the most heartbreaking
example of Katie’s dance woes came at
the 2015 Super Bowl halftime show as she
was essentially upstaged by a tandem of
show-off sharks and yes that includes
the left shark
[Music]
everything about you
number nine Jessica Simpson like Katy
Perry this newlywed star has a certain
appeal and it’s not quite the boot
scootin boogie even so Jessica Simpson
famously released a music video in which
she covered Nancy Sinatra’s these boots
are made for walkin and it turns out
there is some truth to that title as the
music video shows it’s less about
choreography and more about Jessica’s
car-washing abilities of course there’s
nothing wrong with having a little fun
but Jessica’s sexy dances are typically
a bit over the top
while her early live performances were
steeped in the usual pop dance routines
of the time
[Music]
number eight Bruce Springsteen and one
of the more heartwarming cases of subpar
white man dancing this rock icon gave it
his all for the iconic music video that
is dancing in the dark
so to be fair the enthusiastic nature
Bruce Springsteen is endearing but
unlike so many rock stars
Springsteen has managed to sustain a
lasting career and now appears to be
more inclined to play a musical
instrument on stage rather than bursting
out the always welcome awkward dad dance
[Music]
know what number 7 Chris Martin
for the most part rock fans attend
Coldplay concerts to be moved by the
voice of Chris Martin and by the music
itself and while nobody can blame the
lead singer for choosing to dance when
you’re working crowds as big as Coldplay
draws in you gotta bring something
special
[Music]
scholars might not even call this
dancing per se as Martin has perfected
what can only be referred to as the
bouts in other words it’s a committed
form of dancing
[Music]
and it’s one of the few elements of a
Coldplay show that’s just so crazy it
works
[Music]
you judge you crazy Oh number six
Lord we gives off it so good
give me kisses ooh boy
upon the release of her debut album Lord
had music fans hooked on pure heroin
incidentally her dance moves had some
fans feeling the exact opposite we count
our dollars on the chain to the body
she’s been known to flip her long locks
from time to time which is certainly
acceptable but the Internet has often
reacted negatively towards her bizarre
moves questioning Lords form and
technique at times it appears that she’s
being taken over by some type of spirit
or just hunching over as if dealing with
bad indigestion there’s nothing
inherently wrong as many fans have
fallen in love with Lords quirky moves
it’s just a different type of body
rocking that perhaps the rest of the
world hasn’t caught up to
number-5 bono
[Music]
stylistically Bono has long been known
for his iconic shades but for decades
upon decades his bizarre idea of dancing
has polarized audiences everywhere
in the early days he understandably took
note of what others were doing but as
Bono’s career progressed his dance game
has become a little graceless despite
all the confidence and Rockstar
posturing like so many other singers
that struggle with the complexities of
modern dance bono finds comfort in the
spiritual aspect or at least that’s what
appears to be going on
[Music]
number four brandy
[Music]
given the smooth yet effervescent nature
of Brandis music her substandard dancing
just may come as a blow to the senses in
other words she’s got the hip but she’s
lacking some of that hop as evidenced by
her appearance on Dancing with the Stars
Brandie isn’t the most coordinated
perhaps unaware of her natural sex
appeal of course Brandy’s imperfections
won’t diminish her legacy but it’s clear
that when she’s saying I want to be down
she wasn’t talking about being down at
the local dance studio
[Music]
[Applause]
number three Miley Cyrus
[Music]
as a former Disney darling it was only a
matter of time until this pop star shed
her innocent demeanor and given her
propensity to be free and liberated
well she tries equally hard to convey a
carefree vibe on the dance floor as well
girl shaking it like we at a strip club
in fact Miley Cyrus is responsible for
the uprising of Tor furs in North
America and beyond and while that may
not be an actual crime some may argue
that her overstated dance Fiasco’s are
both offensive and downright disturbing
she’s a definitive girl gone wild in
terms of modern dance but maybe she’s
just bored with the typical styles of
the day even so one may find themselves
slightly confused when viewing Miley
Cyrus grooving to my neck my back no
one’s gonna watch number two Mariah
Carey with all due respect to one of
America’s most iconic voices dancing is
not a strong point in the repertoire of
Mariah Carey
of course she looks good when she’s
dancing which is a plus but her style is
more like a soccer mom shuffle than
anything else but when you’re killing it
with vocals like NC well the world will
be just fine if she’s not exactly on par
with Beyonce perhaps most importantly
Mariah exudes a positive vibe when
dancing fully engaging with her more
capable Dance Crew and just putting
herself out there without a care in the
world
[Music]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
talking you’re twerking no I I don’t
know what you’re doing
number one Taylor Swift
[Music]
she’s arguably the biggest star of her
time and she’s most definitely willing
to shake off any criticism but whereas a
hit single like shake it off allowed
taylor swifting geek out while dancing
her public appearances sometimes reveal
a girl that is sadly a few steps behind
her contemporaries
her mechanical movements have an
endearing effect yet her enthusiastic
nature balances out everything else
going on fortunately and so it’s
entertaining to watch Taylor frolic
around most fans can surely tell what
Taylor Swift is going for and it’s
probably better to just let the girl do
her thing and enjoy the moment do you
agree with our selections which singer
do you think struggles the most when
dancing for more rhythmic top tens
