I was just looking for ooooo shiney doing pop Turkish at that time. Little did I realize I was looking at one of the best performances ever done. I do now. Later on in the same tape she came back out in leopard bedlah and showed me what a relaxed self assured classical Egyptian routine looked like. Not to mention Alexandra King and her absolutley mesmerizing Turkish Rom number to live music. I dont care if it is the oldest one...get it, it is still the one I go back to time and again for inspiration.
I didn't like the first awards at all. Yes, Cassandra is good and so is Amaya, but honestly I thought most of the rest was very poor to mediocre or just plain bizarre. There are better vids of Cassandra and Amaya, I'm sure.
