Fontana

Fontana is basically the eye candy in these videos, though her character either sings or lip syncs. Thanks to Jaye Kaye for alerting the world to this gurl.

 

 This one might not be quite as good as the first one:

There's also a Ciara "Level Up" impersonation video.  Lots of dancing...sort of.

Valerio Scanu: Dancing

I've previously posted a video of Valerio Scanu singing as Anna Oxa. In this video, he also dances as her:



This video has disappeared. There are plenty of photos online, however.

Oh, and Scanu sang as Oxa on another episode as well. I've seen video of the duet with Fausto Leali, but cannot find it today.

And...Scanu sang as Patty Prato on television as well, after reprising a previous performance as Orietta Berti. Photo here.

More gurl singers

I'm not familiar with the music of Euro-star Rebeca, but this performance of "Duro De Pelar" is entertaining:



And this is another enthusiastic J-Lo imitation:

Bassem Feghali Singing in English

Bassem is imitating Madonna in the first two songs -- "Cry for me Argentina" and "Vogue."

Courtney

A blast from the past from one of my favorite performers:

 

And here's a more recent performance, Mardi Gras 2014:

Singer: Shakiro

Jonathan Trujillo on the Colombian "Got Talent" program. There are a number of videos on youtube, tracking Shakiro's progress through the competition.

 

Kazaky

I don't know much about them, but Kazaky is apparently an all-male dance-music group from Ukraine. Check out this video:



Look at any of their videos. They typically dance in high heels.

Singer/dancer: Wong Cho-Lam

Wong Cho-lam is an actor and singer from Hong Kong. Here's the talented performer singing Lady Gaga's famous song:



Here's a different live version of the same performer in another costume.

Singer: Li Yugang

Li Yugang (李玉刚) is one of the best-known gurlz in China. This picture gives you an idea of her look on stage, but this video provides a better expression of her art -- first in traditional dance, then singing:



In 2006, Li Yugang won a televised contest -- and this video is of the performer on a talk show of some sort. Another video shows Li Yugang in a more modern performance.

I'd like to see more of what she could do with pop culture.

Video: Jim Bailey singing and dancing

Video: Paolo Ballesteros dances

Dancer: Chase Johnsey

The Cover Gurlz are a pop-rock band, but membership is open to classically trained artists. And every important girl group needs some good dancers. Right?

Chase Johnsey was named by Dance magazine in January 2008 as one of 25 to watch.

Johnsey (aka Yakatarina Verbosovitch and her danseur alter-ego Roland Daulin) uses his brilliant technique and delicate quality to blur gender lines to the point of spooky illusion. The petite 22-year-old, Florida-born, diva is so convincing that if you plunked him down into the cast of ABT’s La Bayadère as one of the Shades, no one would blink an eyelash... the performance is more than a little mind-blowing.

Some reviewers are more direct: "you'd never mistake Yakatarina Verbosovich (Chase Johnsey) for a dude with that cover-girl smile." The Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo dance company's artist director Tory Dobrin remarks, "Chase Johnsey, who's young, looks like a woman or a young girl."

Do we agree? This is a link to an official publicity photo.

In July 2007, Chase commented on dance as art and work:

I dance as my job. Dance is my biggest form of expression. People clap because of my physical interpretation of my own feelings. People pay to come see the show i perform in.. and they get to witness me. ( i am not famous i am not saying that, but they do come see the show) As a performer a person must be completely themselves.

Sounds perfect for The Cover Gurlz!

I think Chase is featured in some of this video.

September 18, 2008 Update: You're going to want to meet "new internet diva" Serenity -- and watch her videos.
