When a gimmick is annoying
I recently met a dancer who sang every single song she danced to. I know that's some kind of a gimmick and I've seen several dancers doing it (Rania, Virginia), but with this particular dancer I was so annoyed. The first time she sang was kind of cute, the second was tiresome, but the third was plain annoying. I mean, what was she doing: dancing or singing? What was she trying to prove: that she can sing Arabic and Turkish? She didn't sing the instrumental pieces because they were instrumentals. Does that experience has happened to somebody else? Has somebody seen a dancer doing a gimmick ad nauseam? Does anyone use a gimmick w/o realizing it can be annoying? Am I being too judgemental?
