And it's not why you think.
Okay, so Justin Bieber released the dance version of his video for "Sorry" earlier this week.
Tbh, we're having a lot of deep feelings about this video. Just look at this crew of loveliness contained within.
The vid features ReQuest and Royal Family dance crews out of Auckland, NZ, and dancer Parris Goebel, and they are on fire. ??????
Goebel also directed the video, which may be why the vid manages to avoid the male gaze so much.
So yeah, there are all these babes, and no Bieber, which effectively renders them the subject, rather than the object of the video.
I mean, how many times have you watched a music video where the dancer's bodies have become nothing more than sexualized, fetishized window dressing for the performer? These women have tons of agency.
