I want to see Tito in the flesh. It's the dancing honestly. I couldn't get all excited just because someone was prancing around stage in a costume, and definately not for Khaled. Mark is a lovely dancer, but it's the same as watching a woman in that my appreciation lacks that emotional something. I'm absolutely in awe of Tito's talent, and yse there is appreciation of his masculinity, but only because he's so damn good.

I like Tarik's dancing, I don't think he dances like a woman

Anyway, I think there are certain "roles" that are mutually exclusive for men and women, even in dance, I like to see men dancing like men... with that said, I don't see how a man can dance "like a woman" if he's really a man... okay, now I'm getting confused LOL

Speaking of videos, you won't believe what I saw on TV the other day. It was a little section in a talk show where the entire episode was about raqs sharqi (it has something to do with you), I was extremely shocked at first, but at the same time I just couldn't stop laughing. Anyway, I recorded it and I was thinking of sending it to you, but I wanted to translate it first.

This kind of thing annoys me - however you promptly say the exact opposite with...

Which I *TOTALLY* agree with! So now you're confusing me!

Really, all ANYONE can do is to dance as themselves. If they dance as themselves, gender issues (should) fall aside. From what very little I've seen of Tito's dancing (I don't have very good bandwidth here to watch many vids), he is a gorgeous dancer without regard to his gender. In other words, when I see him dancing, I see a beautiful dancer - who just happens to be male. The way it should be!

Yes, you know the clips that you have on your youtube channel? They actually "borrowed" that footage and showed it on TV, anyway don't get too excited because the overall "discussion" wasn't too good . The host was so biased and annoying, she also made a remark about your comments on youtube! Seems like YT comments are pissing off a lot of people LOL! Anyway, I will keep you updated to whenever I am done editing the thing.

He is a terrific dancer, I must say I am not too fond of his grinning though. He could be a good candidate for a toothpaste commercial.
