So, do you think Katie Holmes can dance?

She's a decently talented Eisteddford performer. No more. It's like me going up on stage. Seriously.

Dear Mia. Firstly, no, I don't think she can dance. Dancing with the stars celebs can dance better than that, and she's a professional performer (she has claimed in interviews that her first love was sing and dance, before she turned to acting). And she's been taking singing and dance lessons for almost a year now.

Secondly, I believe she committed the ultimate entertainment sin of performing a pre-recorded piece (which took an entire day or perhaps two to film, was all over gossip websites at the time). This means her performance was chopped, changed and perfected both during recording and in the editing suite. And it still didn't look like she could dance. Also, she was appearing on a show that prides live performance above all, and the contestants themselves have to make it or break it in front of critical judges and a live audience. I think it's insulting that she did a pre-recorded piece.

Thirdly, apparently the website for the charity she's promoting here (which she is a co-founder of) does not conform to the legal standards set by the US Tax folks, and it isn't even registered as a non-profit in the US. Which leads me to think that it is associated with, and that the money will be administered by, the Church of Scientology. Which is BAD NEWS.

So. Yeah. Not a winner for me.
