Any one see her on Britain's Got Talent - I thought she was really good - what did everyone else think?

    I think she looks like a talented dancer - its just a shame they've gone down the route of showgirl exotic dancer rather than educating the british public about middle eastern dance. I wish she'd dance to some great arabic music!!
    Just a shame really as it perpetuates the idea that the general public have about bellydancers being purely for male enjoyment.

    Disclaimer!!! I am NOT dissing the dancer, she's fine, and i know that she will have been told to up the sexy stuff as that is what makes people turn on the telly.

    I'd love to have hair like hers. Impossible to assess how good she is with the way they cut the performance though!

      Yeah that was a little disappointing re the music - I bet she's much better if she doesn't have to 'ham it up for the cameras'! I'd love to see Simon and Piers react to a tribal group or solo dancer!

    I think it's hard to judge from her performance how good a bellydancer she is. She's a good dancer for sure, but I don't feel she managed to demonstrate much in the way of authentic bellydance. She certainly knew what would get her the votes though!

    Much, much better than this lady though:

    A prime example of how not to dance or dress!

        Julia wasn't the one in the pants but i know - that was terrible! I didn't even get to see the dance just saw a shot of her on one of the credits and i thought - i don't care how good u are that is so not the way to promote belly dancing! Out of interest was she any good or did the outfit say it all?

              That second link - Frankie - oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Did she forget her skirt or something? It's a bit like a recurring nightmare I have when I suddenly realise I'm not dressed. I actually had to watch it through my fingers! She seems like a nice lady, so WHY?? Simon Cowell said it all there.
