I think as someone earlier stated, that there was a bit of a language barrier and she wasn't aware of what all was going on, on top of not having a clue on how to belly dance. In the beginning, it took her awhile to understand that the dancer was gesturing for her to join her on the stage. Then when on the stage, it appeared to me that the drummer distracted Paris's attention from the dancer and he gestured to something behind her. Then when Paris turned back to the dancer, I saw the dancer gesture back towards the drummer again. I think it's just too easy to bash Paris because she's Paris. And who isn't sort of like a 'puppy' when they're first starting to dance. As someone stated earlier, take 'Paris' out of the equation and would this discussion be happening? In my opinion, I don't think so.

Yeah, she definitely has the deer in the headlights expression, or maybe its the deer in the tail lights...after it got run over?

Still I wonder how much was her acting as "Paris Hilton" and how much was other factors (language barrier, insecurity, etc). Shoot I had a hard enough time getting up and dancing when I'd go to Marrakesh and it was Amy & Shelly.
