You don’t land the role of the world’s favorite ditsy blond cheerleader for the six-time national championship high school cheerleading squad without having some dancing chops, and Glee actress Heather Morris definitely has some dancing chops! Or at least I think she has some dancing chops – I could just be confused because I’m a guy and good gracious that girl is HOTTTT!!!
So why is Heather Morris wearing a revealing leotard and moving in ways not allowed in numerous countries? She’s hosting “50 Songs Every Man Should Listen To” in the May, 2011 Esquire music issue and felt she needed to show she’s got the appropriate resume for telling us dudes what we need to be hearing. (Plus, it completely abolishes any hesitance by overly hetero male readers to read something hosted by someone from that high school musical show on Fox. Success!)
Morris, who scored her role on Glee after being brought in to teach the cast the choreography to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video (which she was a back-up dancer on), offers up commentary on the 50 new tracks, but sadly doesn’t perform a dance routine for each. Here’s the list of songs and performers – for Heather’s input as well as some of her likes and dislikes when it comes to guys, pick up the new music issue of Esquire magazine on newsstands now!
