Dancing With The Stars Chaka Khan Does The ‘Nae Nae’ – Video
Aww, go Chaka!!
Aww, go Chaka!!
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul" ~ Martha Graham. That's what DWTS makes me think of every Monday night. To read more about me and my other interests, see Lisa Kay Photography. You can also follow me at Voguerista Twitter & Voguerista Soundcloud.
Didn’t expect her to be good at it but she rocked it.
She’s so good! I love it 🙂 Have you seen the one with Hayes Grier or Bindi Irwin? I think DWTS just upload them.
Hayes is worrying me. As bad as that Nae Nae was the worst part was like he didn’t even want to try to have fun. Cody Simpson flashbacks! At least Bindi and Chaka were having a blast and enjoying the process.
I didn’t see anything wrong with Hayes’s video – other than it not being good. He didn’t have a sneer or a “too-cool for school” attitude to me. That doesn’t mean he won’t – just that I didn’t see it in that 16 seconds.
Bindi did not look comfortable moving to music, but she’s adorable.
So far I think Alexa and Nick have the best by far of the celebs.
I think of the celebs introduced thus far, it might be Bindi who is farthest outside her comfort zone. She’s not used to wearing clothes like those and dancing. This is why she’s better off with Derek over Val. I can’t imagine that girl with Val.
Besides, she’s not a ringer, so she wouldn’t get him anyway. 😉
I’m confident that even if Bindi isn’t a great dancer, Derek will make it a memorable experience for her, which is what I enjoy seeing just as much as god dancing.
Well said Fig and PH. Bindi might be used to having a camera on her but in a completely different context than the other young women and men who’ve been on the show (e.g., Zendaya, Willow, Roshon). They were performers, she’s basically a wildlife presenter/animal welfare activist.
Val would be worse than useless with her. He has zero empathy and I doubt he can relate to anyone who isn’t from a performing arts background. His intense, impatient, hyper-critical teaching style is even too much for the ringers he gets every season. It would be criminal to give him a young woman with no performing arts experience.
Derek is perfect for her. They’ll have a great time. He’ll build up her confidence, broaden her horizons, and give her wonderful memories to look back on with a smile.
Oh, I guess since this was Chaka Khan’s video, I should mention that I liked the “cool and easy” vibe she gave to the moves — not trying to dance it like she was 20 years old. I hope her body can stand up to the pace of the show.
Chaka’s got groove! She also may be just the sort of teach-the-teacher partner that I think Keo needs to make it as a pro.
Also with those that think Derek is much better suited to Bindi than Val.
