thank you @faerygal all true!! I am currently trying to gain access to my old page "this one" so that I can write the things I need to!!! I commercialized the dance on purpose, it is very "Fusion" and definitely not classic Egyptian. If you would like to follow my new page its right here!! xoxo thank you so much for being so kind and just smart!! lol to all you hates keep hating... PS.. the music playing in this video is not at all what I chose its what FOX AIRED WITH MY DANCE!!
I'm 90% syrian and this pretty much looks like belly dancing to me, belly dancing means dancing using moves that involves the torso like shimmies, shaking of the hips...etc and you can belly dance to pretty much any kind of music if you want, in this vid janelle sort of added her own touches so it would match the music playing.....i found it really cool lol.
Haha i knewwww someone would ask me that!!! My dad is part turkish and some other country lol, so I just put 90% because I didn't know how else to put it :p
You are so lucky to have a mother who is a very skilled belly dancing teacher!!!! The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon is somebody who enjoy watching belly dancing on RUclips because belly dancing is a dance that shows TRUE grace, elegance, feminity and self respect in a woman.
I know that these comments range in date but for anyone new to watching this video let me clear up some of the observations that have been made. First of all, Janelle IS Palestinian but nowhere in her audition does she say that she will be performing a classic Egyptian belly dance. She only states that she learned form a woman who had studied IN Egypt, not from an Egyptian woman. Second, Janelle states that she has a background in various styles of dance. That is obvious in her audition. This would be referred to as a "fusion". Third, she didn't use an Arabic piece of music (or perhaps she did; they dubbed over the music that was actually used. Ahhh, the magic of television!) because it doesn't matter. Remember it was never meant to be a classic Egyptian piece. Fourth, you can't base whether a person is a good belly dancer or not by one fusion-based audition. Especially, if you are bitching about it not being classic Egyptian and that she's killed the dance. Get over yourselves and go watch ATS or tribal belly dancers then come back and tell me how you feel.
Wow thank you Goddesses for having my back!!! Yes it was a FUSION piece 100%. That was the point. I am classically trained but also very heavily trained in many other genres of dance. If you watched my other stuff I label my dances according to the style usually. But I am quirky and also do something that is very Janelle and not traditional a lot of the time. I am known for my FUSION work as well as my Drum, veil, classic and other styles. This was also when I was a child hahaa literally tiny Janelle. People do grow, continue to learn, and get better! I would not call this my best work by any means but it was a very exciting time for me in my life! Also they dubbed over my original music ... I don’t even remember what piece of music I had used. I think it was something Jamaican lol. Again I was young and had so much fun!!!! If you want to judge a young kid... if it makes you feel better go for it! Or just be nice :). Thanks again for all the kindness and the haters will hate it’s ok.
Sorry to say this but people of Sham : Syria Lebanon Jordan and Palestine can t Bellydance it's not their folklore thy only dance dabke both men and women the only nation that has a good sexy dance are Iraqi Kawly but dance is for North Africa Egypt Morocco and Tunisia rich folklore sexy and hard moves
All those who say "This isn't bellydancing"; all right, we've got it! But she might have done a smart choice and "commercialised" it so that it would suit this kind of audition. She needed it to be more "TV-audience-friendly" and catchy. Of course classic belly dancing is beautiful and gripping, but it would also be too "narrow" in this kind of competition, if you see what I mean. And it definitely showed she could both move and seduce the audience.
+EscargoTouChaud Actually she's not commercialized - what she does is called Fusion - mixing Belly Dance with other forms of dance to create something of her own.
This wasn't her real audition. The show couldn't get the rights to the music that she performed the real audition to, so she had to create a new routine quickly to a new song for the tv audience
For everyone saying it's not "real belly dancing" she wasn't performing traditional cabaret. It was more of a fusion with an array of styles. It was certainly belly dance though!
Why does everyone always have something negative to say. She said someone else taught her, and that person learned it from someone else. It may or may not be belly dancing, but that girl can dance so get over it.
It was meant to be a fusion piece :) commercialized for a reason! Fox also changed my music because they couldn't obtain the rights. This was several years ago and I hope you will find some value in my other works at the page connected to this comment. xoxo - Janelle
I could tell she was from somewhere in Alabama!I am from mobile,alabama and I could just tell by her demeanor and how she talks she was from around where I was!;)

she is so talented , but to bring out belly dancing she needed arabic songs and beat , that is what brings it, it may not really showed with this type of music that she was dancing on, but other than that she was amazing !

So she modernized the belly dancing for So you think you can dance ...get over it people. Majority of Society is so quick to be negative, so truly sad for those who have so much negativity within themselves.
Of course nobody claps when she says she has Palestinian roots , well as your Lebanese neighbor I'm proud of you girls ❤️❤️ they must be zionist bigots . I'm also middle-eastern Christian , all the love from Lebanon to Palestine.
as an Arab, and a Palestinian for the matter of fact, i hated that as a belly dance routine.it has nothing to do with the real traditional belly dancing
I'm 25 miles drive downtown Birmingham AL and the First judge to comment was very much out of line. In Alabama we celebrate our ancestors. She sounded like she was surprised Alabama could do anything. Poor choice of words.
Your comment is like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, the body is shunned, shamed, and over sexualized. Why can't we just admire the body for its beauty?
She was one of my favorite contestants of all time
This girl just taught me a dance at my studio she is amazing
I remember being so inlove with her when I saw her!!
the name of the song is ( Shake Move Wiggle by District 78) her dance is amazing

WOW ! She's adorable
She came here and danced with us in our flash mob!

I agree with you here.
Thx :)
+Dana Rox I agree but how exactly can you be "90%" syrian ?
Haha i knewwww someone would ask me that!!! My dad is part turkish and some other country lol, so I just put 90% because I didn't know how else to put it :p
Lol okay then :p
It's called Fusion, people ... The Melting Pot comment was the best explanation of any!
People are just down right jealous. She's got skill! My mother taught belly dancing and that's exactly what she was doing!

for real also the audition are edited and trimmed so we don't know what we actually missed out on seeing as well

Sorry to say this but people of Sham : Syria Lebanon Jordan and Palestine can t Bellydance it's not their folklore thy only dance dabke both men and women the only nation that has a good sexy dance are Iraqi Kawly but dance is for North Africa Egypt Morocco and Tunisia rich folklore sexy and hard moves
m b LOVEEEEE ✨💓✨

I loved her performance. It was joyful:)
she's so beautiful! typical Palestinian beauty.
Omg i loooove her dance and remix🤍🤍🤍
I watch this video for many times her dance style woooooow

@@t78907 The music was changed, yes, but this was her real audition. They just dubbed over the music.
I've met her before at a convention in Myrtle Beach she was so nice!
Awesome touchable music with the belly dancing in floor at fully loaded confident that. God bless you.
For everyone saying it's not "real belly dancing" she wasn't performing traditional cabaret. It was more of a fusion with an array of styles. It was certainly belly dance though!
Yay Janelle!!! She is fab.
She is so pretty!!
IM FROM BRAZIL I THOUGHT SHE WAS HISPANIC WOW LOTS OF LOVE FROM BRAZIL XOXO !!!!!!!!!!
nigel is right her eyes really do sparkle
so stunning belley dance
This is amazing. It's like a belly dancing fusion haha
She did her own thing! She didn't "need to" do anything but be her amazing self.
She is amazing!
She is so good!
I love how belly dance show off out beautiful the female form is.
shes so beautiful and talented
she dance great.
Amazing :) Wish I could go on the show for at least auditions, if a belly dancer can, then I think a hula dancer can :3
She is so beautiful :-) And she can dance :-) I liked how she was playing with men ;)
If you see her now... she's really grown as a dancer!
She's perfect, so beautyfull dancer and women :-)
😂😂😂 he enjoyed that
If Janelle DID win the show, her belly dancing career would explode just like Alla Kushnir's.
Why does everyone always have something negative to say. She said someone else taught her, and that person learned it from someone else. It may or may not be belly dancing, but that girl can dance so get over it.
I agree with u dear
Right
Yep, as a belly dancer myself, there was little actual belly dancing. Her backbend was awesome though!
It was meant to be a fusion piece :) commercialized for a reason! Fox also changed my music because they couldn't obtain the rights. This was several years ago and I hope you will find some value in my other works at the page connected to this comment. xoxo - Janelle
@@JBellyBURN What song did you do? I was telling everyone it was fusion.

Hilarious! She had those old men going in the nursing home. She was great though. You can see her passion and love in her dance.
And THAT is why belly dancing is FAR SUPERIOR to twerking!!!!!
This is belly dance fusion. Not westernized or anything like that. This clip is my favorite of her's.
i love the song i dont know when but im going 2 uploed a video of me belly dancing

Watch sadie ... she's from colorado :D and i'm from Morocco lol

She probably wanted to showcase more skills in other genres for the judges.
Does anyone know what song this is?
Can anybody tell me the song name ?

as an Arab, and a Palestinian for the matter of fact, i hated that as a belly dance routine.it has nothing to do with the real traditional belly dancing
