Zhang Ziyi before she's famous

[SabonninFilms]

[tetihyugauchiha]

[Belphybear]

[sunny1777]

[Mafiadaughter]

I think is was very good, in line with the beat. Alot of negative comments.

[samuraihc13]

was she retarded before she bacame famous????

[MySweetWish]

LOL.

I love Zhang Ziyi but this made me really laugh. I don't know why xD

[GraeyRibbon13CKS]

lols she looks so cute XDDD sorry she just does to me :DDD

[snowdog888]

the dance looks awkward, but graceful at some parts. I cant decide.

[mhey112]

It was just now when I realized that she looks like my teacher!!

[Josefiam]

She does this dance with love and fun

She is awesome

[myowngenesis]

She must be young there...

[Nilyentaraka]

Am I the only one annoyed with the commentors with nothing but negative things to say about this performance solely because the style isn't American or familiar to them?

Such arrogance. -_-

[tsunadesomething]

she's an angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[aldogukguk]

its called the traditional FLOPPY HANDS dance , really hard to master, and yes most aspiring dancers will have to go thru this routine tho not many are even featured on stage

[WhiffleBoy18]

Who doe's she thinks she is? part of the Bushwhackers...

[autonomy52]

Free Tibet!

[aodkijghtnemmifhjdjj]

the name of this dance is "Satan surveys his realm"

[IdolMaster123]

Awesome dance!

[heintze168]

ahhh kk!! i really,really need a beer

[chigerly007]

yep king kong dance, very famous over these parts. she even screams like the damsel. very funny but i still fancy her!

[annlsy]

why the dance so weird? She great but the dance was so ugly.. If who wants to be a hollywood star like her should passed this dancing first.. haha...

[prettykiray]

its chhinese way...but she's really awesome in The House of Flying Daggers....good-looking ...talented young girl...with a sweet smile

[Minanu333]

wow...she s good.. : )

[hongmastakilla]

good god, that was hilarious

[evangeline97]

lol she's so funny !!! hahaahaahahaha !! I wonder why she moved her hands so horribly

[BBBBBBadddddd]

it's a traditional national dance

[RobinHaryanto]

it's called King Kong Dance

[forutonvee]

Are you being sarcastic?

[callmejuicyy]

ya i agree lol

[bhcbhc]

I think people have the right to say the dance is weird for them ...

[luth7777]

I don't think this is an audition. I'm fairly certain it's a dance recital, performed before an audience.

She's performing an ethnic chinese drum dance, and she does it very well. She's very talented.

Many people from around the world might look at the way some American youths dance and think it was "retarded" too... open your mind and don't be so judgemental.

[haegarXXI]

as much as i love ziyi, this might just be the most retarded dance i have ever seen...

[mathias1417]

and you,are a very narrow-minded person.

you do realise that they're are loads of cultures in the world other than american,you know.

ignorant ponce

[haegarXXI]

mathias, are you saying that just because something is native to a certain culture, i am not allowed to dislike it? i am actually not american. my country has national dances, and believe it or not, but i also thing that some of them don't look cool. this is not about disrespecting chinese culture- i just think the dance really doesn't look good, and i would think the same thing if it was from america, austria or bhutan. period. no disrespect/arrogance/ chauvinism. and please watch your language

[20fuckers]

I must say that i also think this dance look very retard but as haegar says it is not that we disrespecting the cultur, I mean, here in Sweden we dresses out in colourfull clothes with wooden shoes...XD And that is also veeery retard!

[forutonvee]

you got a buncha negative feedback but you made me laugh. lol

and as much as i love her I'm inclined to agree.

[zythepsarian]

its like a porsche in gridlock :(

[MarcelHall21]

Wow She's On Beat.

[MarcelHall21]

Zhang Ziyi is Hot But I like her Dancing on Stage.

[skyflame000]

Lmao I think Zhang is totally hot but this is some weird ass dance.

[WizeCrazyGal]

dancing comes from within you

i though she did a great job

[Mondoshawn]

what was this audition for?

[ratzkyboithegreat]

funny dance... lol.. but still she's ever graceful.

[20fuckers]

woow, wtf?! are you guys saying that that is a hard dance to performe, she is just swinging her arms and taking big steps !!

No offence

[DaimajinStoneGod]

Well chances are, Chinese traditional or interpretive dance is different than western

[adamaglaia]

everyone can make a sound but that doesnt mean it is music.

[MzDelianna]

LOL you wanna try?

its traditional chinese dancing.

[20fuckers]

But she looks like a retard xD

[MzDelianna]

uh yeah. sure..

[johnnyamorrison]

your a retard

[ghostcar]

Hilarious- I love this girl fanboy style but this was a funny shocker -

[jothewaiter96]

that's awsome! she's amazing and the dance looks fun!

[JerryRSun]

It IS funny looking. I know my family in China would think it was funny looking if they saw it on TV. I'm from there, and I think it's funny. Not to demean it or anything.

[albeanz]

Its called "the floppy arm dance"

[jading924]

yo wtf...

DANCE THE FUNKY CHICKEN!

[j10114520]

lol dis is such a weird dance

[bellatrix02]

that is amazing rhythm

[jefffung1124]

i wanna fuck this bitch. slut!

[elfemto666]

hahahahahahaha

[luthien7rei]

Very cool! She's doing dances from old chinese culture. I hope other young people do them, so they are not forgotten.

She makes it seem much easier than it is to do these difficult dances. She has amazing rhythm and grace. It's easy to see why the transition to martial arts was a relativiely easy one for her.

On a side note, if you are so inexperienced in life that you can't find any appreciation for a woman embracing her culture, then just keep quiet and spare us your idiotic comments.

[Plumira]

looks like she's having a seizure...

[coolxuemin]

LOL WEIRD

[ShiftyTommm]

lol look at her arms go

[yoshi118]

hahaha that's soooo cool! probably really hard to move your body like that though

[rukia9260]

tis is hilarius!

i got cctv!!

[Yarwer]

reminds me of bjork - human behaviour :]

[Harregarre]

Dance of the raging elephant. :P

[b3autygrl12]

l0l!!!!! she's c00l though. If it wasn't for her being so open minded she wouldn't be one of the best asian stars out there.

[canadagirl18]

what the hell is this? it's hilarious!

[Juehanna]

That choreography is like a scarecrow on amfetamin :o

[samsuel15]

Lol

[1pinkmarshmallow07]

well, i am chinese too, but that dance is REALLY AWFUL!!!, blame the choreography

[1pinkmarshmallow07]

OMG!what a dance!

[tacticalexpert]

Wow! Very cool.

[Gomer543]

Thanks for posting. It's nice seeing an earlier glimpse.

[eternalst]

she reminds me of the bushwhackers

[joycezhere]

what type of dancing is this? Chinese folk?

[lzzzppp999]

the dance of Miao folks in China.

As one of them,I think she has done a really good job!

[shippoCY88]

I'm not really sure how she did, but I think that she won something for this. In fact, they praised her for this dance. That has got to say something. People might find it funny looking, but I think that it's a very hard dance to master. Your opinion seems to have confirmed that...

[lzzzppp999]

Agree.

May I say "great minds think alike"~~~

o(∩_∩)o...

[Ale1717]

ahah it's very funny this kind of dance! ahah

[smallsi]

haaa how old was her then?

[ZeroZic]

1993 - 1979 = 14

So her age is about 14 here =)

[smallsi]

haa yarr actualli i tot of it tooz.. but ermm.. she looked quite mature in the show..haa nt lyk a 14 yr old ger ((:

[allteesup1]

Aaahh, I wondered where Liam Gallagher learned his walk

[carychilton]

ZiYi is sooooo beautiful! It is no wonder she is from Asia, the part of the world that has truly beautiful women.

[Chiswick2]

You are so pathetic why do you keep going around all the videos of the beautidul Zhang Ziyi talking shit? It is so allowing.

[keikokim]

luv her, but funny!

[montez81]

lmao she daces retarde

[BabySpit]

omfg LMAO!! i love her and all, but she looked funny! and ape like... i can't wait for her new movies to come out

[Nhia89]

who's say that thats a Hmong dance?

We Hmong Folks don't dance like that

[salvatoreleonegta3]

i love her, but what the hell? she looks like a ape walking around jacked up on lsd.

[venusaur00399]

haha they showed that video on the chinese news and said the same thing! well except the lsd part =P it scared me a bit after they replayed it for the 5th time >.<

[jaywizardess]

she said on a special feature for house of flying daggers movie that she studies chinese traditional dance. shes been doing this profesionally since she was like, 9?

[nicutulcea]

wtf??

[sachadaniel]

Her name is pronounced < tsang ts-yee or Jang ts-yee>

the double < ee > is a long < e > so for european people

< tsang ts-yi > or < Jang ts-yi >

She has been schooled in traditional art of chinese folklore dance, ..but doesn`t she kick ass in HotFD!! Zhang Ziyi,...wo xi huan ni ! zai jian

[JCMELKOR]

and we missed the entire upskirt part......

[Eva013]

What is this horrible dance?

[wolfman290]

do chinese girls go for korean guys?

[xoxlollypop]

yea some do

[Wangsiluan]

r you korean ?y u wanna know this?

[sentinel3000]

How did you pronounce her name. Like Tang Tyee?

[ZeroZic]

Tsang Tsyee :-)

[cpcp9]

shes fine and all but the dance looks really retarded

[xilong]

wow, you racist bitchfaced cunt. Just shut the fuck up right there.

[Arneneithel]

it's a cool vid, but it's not an audition. it's an entry in a dance contest.

[DanyItaliano]

wow

[GuillermoPelcastre]

Undoubtly she`s one of the most beautiful women in the world

[ctohnofuugshetds]

so if this is a cultural dance, anyone wanna inform me of which culture?

[Arneneithel]

chinese

[fireblaze182]

like "han" or a minority?

[Goldfishfrommyfather]

It's a Miao (Hmong) Dance.

[jennyv]

wth? hell no. hmong does not dance like that

[damnthatgirl]

who say hmong dance like that??? that person must be blind???/

[jigokuen]

Not Hmong as it is now, they're talking about the Miao minority in China, which is said is another branch of the Hmong Culture. It's an older culture, and is very different from what it is now. Technically however, it is a Hmong/Miao dance.

[damnthatgirl]

Ohhhhh! I guess....I was just wondering b/c I know what Hmong is...thanks

stay blessing

[sunsetsshadow]

wtf she's like an elephant stick. still...i'm not disrespecting her.

[hellowjp]

she was a dancer

[thethingkid]

she's so fine me and her are gonna make the prettiest blackanese babies ever ^_^

[cowmastitis]

I do not like her at all.

[HonjMohsat]

Zhang Ziyi is the finest chick in all of China! She's just as gorgeous as a poor country girl in "The Road Home" as she is in "House of Flying Daggers" or "Memoirs of a Geisha". You worms are unworthy to speak her name!!!!

[yonjooheero]

I kind of figured out that MAYBE it is an ethnic dance like HouseofBinapri said? Hmmm, it was interesting. :D

[Yuxlover]

How cute!

[xiaotiemo]

she is cute

[surVAMP]

what kind of audition is this lol damn

[rammundstein]

I love Ziyi, but that looks so stupid - sorry. And your are idiot HouseofBinapri. Think your are so smart, but in the end, just makes a idiot of yourself.

[Ccrupp]

The dance is kind of creepy XD but she did it pretty good..

[gungan82]

you have to watch it stoned... lol

[indra555]

nice dance

[whyeff21]

That girl is AWESOME!

[kauemoura]

Cool, she's just like a "boneco de Olinda" cool

[paraparasakura]

i love her in this dance. the choreography represents the minority group very well and zhang ziyi does a brilliant job in executing the movements.

[Swidhelm]

Man she is one of the sexiest women in showbiz today. And her talent as an actress seems only to get better with each film she does. And her physical abilities . . . she will be a legend.

[rainyfriday]

uh.... this dance is quite....violent -_-

[rainyfriday]

or at least her movements are

[jutcinlela]

This a minority dance of south China ,the "miao" nation ,but ziyi was not a Miao people ,she is just a main nation lady in chinese call "Han" nation ,so it was difficult to learn this dance but she did well ...

[KGB666]

Which means she has no business doing a "Miao" dance. lol. People need to relax, whatever it is, it's funny, and let's just leave it at that.

[estle26]

wow this is interesting...

[rhodrunner]

i thought the dummer did rather well

[rhodrunner]

its quite obvious she had been drinking

[emma4chii]

I agree that it was rude of u to say those rude things. This is a dance of her culter, so don't make fun of the chinese culter.... I thought it was well done, she is a fery good dancer in memoirs of a Geaisha aswell. She does a the winter dance wich is quite simular to this on, so if u don't like the chinese culter....Than don't watch it! I liked it^-^
