Best of dance music?
What is hot and what is not changes all the time. There are even evergreens when considering the best dance music ever played, but those are rare. The trends push the envelope all the time and not everything what was considered good dance music a few years back can draw people to the floor today.
I like Timbaland et al. as much the next guy, but I just wanted to point out one of my favourites which comes from an unexpected direction: The Eurovision 2008 song contest. She is a versatile talent doing singing, acting, writing books for children and she even has active role in charitable organizations etc. etc...so no wonder that she is quite popular in her home country of Ukraine. And to close this introduction with some (other) useless facts the dress she was wearing cost 200.000 dollars according YLE's commentors.
Dress or no dress, she is hot. Whether the song survives the test of time is a different matter. Now, I like it. I give you Ani Lorak and "Shady Lady":
What are your favourites?
