Katie Holmes was on the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance last night. (I always want to put a question mark at the end of that show title.) I’ve got the clip for you. Unless you want to watch Katie scratch herself and look dead in the eyes, fast forward to about the two-minute mark. There, you can watch Katie lip-sync and look dead in the eyes. Enjoy!
Edited to add: The reviews are in! You know, I just cruised over to Twitter to see if Solange Knowles ever. stopped. copying. me. and saw that Shanna Moakler just posted this Tweet: “I am fckn INSULTED, Katie Holmes how dare you! maybe if I suck Tom Cruise off I can be Ann Miller for a day. Shame Shame Shame.” Like, she seriously couldn’t have sacrificed a comma or exclamation point in exchange for having enough available characters to be able to spell “fucking”? (Screen grabbed it for when the coke and martinis wear off and Shanna deletes it.)
Edited again: I’ll add any more coke-fueled Tweets valuable Shanna Moakler commentary that she posts.
Umm… it’s rather underwhelming.
Katie is a beautiful girl, and her body looks amazing – but my two year old could do that choreography without weeks of rehearsals. I’m disappointed – I was expecting a much better number – especially as a tribute to Judy Garland.
hmmm….reminds me of someone…oh yeah, britney spears.
lol … Yes.
Wendie – why the negativity about Shanna Moakler? I thought this post was about Katie Holmes…..you gotta focus your anger sweetie, hehe! Great post except for the Shanna comment. She is a dear family friend so I generally don’t enjoy anything nasty written about her.
Stole my thunder. My first thought on seeing that was it was about the same level as a Britney Spears dance number.
OMG – exactly!!!!! LOL. Well, if Britbrit’s conservatorship ends, maybe Jamie will take on Mrs. Tom.
Theres a spot right before she’s lifted where she is messing with her damn hat again, and theres a shot of her face with her mouth open and my first thought was Britney.
Also- I hated it. dancing sucked, singing sucked… etc etc.
I am not the biggest Katie Holmes fan but I was eager to see if she had “the stuff”. I was hoping she would blow me away the way Katherine Zeta Jones did in Chicago. Unfortunately she couldn’t deliver and I gave her performance a big ol’ THUMBS DOWN. It was awful. If she had made an effort to sing I could forgive the lackluster choreography but the whole performance was lame. A little tip, if your vocals still sound terrible after being produced in a studio within an inch of its life, then you probably should stick to being Tom Cruise’s alien-adoring arm candy.
they made it seem as though she would perform a routine like the talented dancers on the show.. lip-synching and walking around? Not a performance, sorry! i was really disappointed at the lack of anything worth-while in those two-ish minutes.
Exactly, I wanted to hear her sing, not some background bullshit with her gums flapping.
Wow…that was embarrassing on SO many levels. She looked painfully self-aware and self-conscious, which is the worst when you are singing and dancing. Jesus – I’ll take Rene “i sucked a lemon” Zellwegger’s dancing in Chicago over this any day of the week. Sad, sad, sad…cringe-worthy.
perfect word. cringeworthy. i was toying with delusional, trainwreck or hopeless, but cringeworthy is dead on.
they shoot horses don’t they?
Yeah, cringeworthy. She just doesn’t have it. No soul in this girl. How delusional of her and Tom to keep pushing her on us. The word I’m looking for is MoJo. She got none.
Things Katie Holmes is barely mediocre at:
1. Acting
2. Singing
3. Dancing
4.
4. Pretending to actually love being married to a closet gaywad.
Wow, I rub my hands up and down my legs all the time. Guess I’m ready for Broadway!
To forget, you need to be able to constantly make the same, annoying adjustment to your hat ;-)
*Don’t forget…
Didn’t they say Carrie Ann Inaba was also on the foundation? Isn’t she an ACTUAL dancer? Couldn’t she have done this instead? In fact, they could have brought in ANY Broadway performer to do this 1000 times better than Katie.
Katie Holmes was/is a marginal actress at best. Her only claim to “relevancy” is her marriage to Tom Cruise. Why do people put her on a pedestal? If she hadn’t become Mrs. Scientology, she would have faded into oblivion after her 15 minutes of Joey Potter fame.
I actually think Holmes was poised to break through but then she became involved with Tom Cruise and that’s what’s really hurt her. She was good in Pieces of April and she wasn’t terrible in Batman Begins or Thank You for Smoking. But the ties to Cruise are holding her back.
Well, that and I think she really wants to be an available mom to Suri.
i agree with the poised to break through theory
Did anybody else notice that there was…no dancing? All she did was walk around and kick every once in a while…it was like britney, keep walking and move your shoulders and nobody will notice that you’re not dancing!And the voice…not only does this woman speak with an irritating baby voice, but apparently she sings with one as well…why?
Haha, I agree completely.
I never noticed how uneven her teeth are. She reminds me of a 14 year old girl in a small town dance recital, except more self-conscious.
That was a nightmare. What a talentless twit.
I bet you Miss Tom was jealous he didnt get to wear that outfit and prance around like that. LMAO
i noticed there wasn’t on good comment about her performance so i had to go back up and check it out. omg! that girl can. not. sing. her voice is so babyish it started to make my ears bleed. every time i pictured judy garland, her singing would sound even worse. sorry but you have officially become katie “cruise” and you sucked ass! oh, and i think wendie sucks too. mediocre at best. tedious most of the time. i just couldn’t help it.
no. absolutely not. a dead mans dick wouldn’t even get hard after that. I agree with Ms. Moakler. get over it Katie, check in to rehab
My god, it was not that bad!
OH YES IT WAS
I agree, I was expecting MUCH worse. She can sing fine, it just wasn’t amazing. And she didn’t do the most complicated dance moves ever but oh well. It’s still cool that she helped create that charity…
blehh. I mean I expected a lot more from her. My friends were like ‘she did great!” but I mean come on, those bitches have never even heard of West Side Story… or even Evita.. this was a shaaaame for musical fans everywhere
It’s like they got all the way through costumes and makeup and just ran out of budget to afford a hairstylist. If it’s supposed to be a 40’s style number, why just leave your hair down? I mean, way to draw attention to the underwhelming performance. She can’t sing, she can’t dance, and she apparently can’t do a thing we her hair. A pity, because anyone else would have done a better job, but they’re not married to a big name movie star.
Unless something has changed, Tweets R 4Evah ….
Katie was so boring/annoying thatI was more interested in the back-up dancers!
I don’t watch the show and wasn’t going to watch this but then I read that it would likely be Fosse-style dancing so I had to see. I don’t even think that was her voice, to be honest. And the dancing??? Ugh. Fosse was more than just wearing black and slinking to and fro.
So yeah, that sucked.
I beg to differ about Batman Begins when me and my mom went to see that movie, my mom laughed at Kate’s peformance the whole time. In two movies that I did see of her she was awful it was worst than watching Mariah try to act. And as for her entire performance she was awful even when Britney was going through her crisis she did a better performance than that. And Valkyrie sucks by the way rented for free at the LIB watched it twice to see if I would change my mind about the movie but I still think the only good part in that movie was when Tom got shoot, I’m sorry but I was glad when he dead.
Thank YOU!
Very amateur acting/character in Batman Begins.
She is like Miley Cyrus….mediocre talent at best, yet makes about a bazillion dollars!!
Sooo unfair
You guys sure are making this sound a whole lot worse than it was. Sure, there was no actual “dancing,” and it certainly did not meet up to expectations set by her weeks and weeks of “rehearsals,” but it was no where near as atrocious as you make it out to be.
Singing was slightly painful, there was no talent needed to “dance,” but damn did she look beautiful!
She did look pretty but she should stick to that role because that’s all she can do. I agree with Persistent Cat that the singing didn’t match her regular breathy, annoying babyish-gravely voice so I didn’t think it was actually her singing or if it was, then it was heavily processed. The choreography looks like it could have been learned in an afternoon and yes, it was TOTALLY reminiscent of Britney’s infamous VMA performance where she scooted around but didn’t actually dance much. I’ve never gotten the appeal of Katie Holmes: her “acting” has always been as self-conscious as a high school theater performer. She used to be Midwestern pretty but has always seemed to treat acting as just being pretty and looked at. She’s the same in every role and isn’t even convincing at being “so in love” with Tom Cruise. She never seems genuine, she’s always performing at being Katie Holmes.
It also annoys me when celebrities start or collaborate their own charities instead of contributing or lending their endorsement to well established ones, particularly ones that do the same or similar things. It just dilutes the power of the donations across bureaucracy instead of packing a bigger effective punch.
at least britney spears can do the sexy walk katie kinda looked awkward..
