So, I would like that in the next time people read ALL my post before quoting me....

It seems to me though like you are basing your opinion off of only the most recent Namie stuff. She HAS done some difficult dance moves (and this comes from me with 10+ years of pro ballet and jazz training) while singing at the same time and barely faltering vocally if at all. Nowadays she does more hip hop kind of dance style, but she used to do things like leaps and not so easy turns all while singing and sounding great. Is it the most difficult dancing ever done? No. But it is impressive considering that she doesn't lip synch. I know that you will just say "that's in the past, its not now", but her dancing now is still incredibly tiring and nonstop and people in this thread are posting like her dancing has always been easy, never been difficult, and that that is the only reason she is able to sing and dance at the same time and that is simply not true. Namie is just simply some being from outerspace when it comes to stamina and singing/dancing at the same time.
Seriously, I've seen Namie in concert twice now, and marvel how at 31 (or any age for that matter), she does not faint by the midway point of the concert.

Sometimes I can really piss off some fans of artists I like (Namie in this case) because I'm very harsh when criticizing them... It's just because I really like to see that they are getting better over time =) So, yeah, I really like and respect Namie as an artist and I think that she was a far better performer at Play tour tham she was at Live Style... And I'm really waiting for Best Fiction Tour 'cause I have the feeling that it will be even better!^^

Well, that is nice to know though. :) And as I said, I actually somewhat agree with you about Live Style seeming somewhat dry. I went to the Play tour and I actually think that the Best Fiction tour is 50x better. I really encourage you though to go seek out her pre-style stuff. As much as I like her HIPPOP music, I do miss her older style and her performances from back then and it seems these days a lot of fans don't look any further back than the Style album (or even Queen of Hip Pop) and that is a shame.
btw, just found this in the Namie thread. Frankly I'm shocked that she hadn't had a serious fall yet dancing in those stilletos all the time:
"Listen up! At today's live, I fell down really badly for the first time.
I'm pretty certain this is the first time I've had such a bad fall!
For a moment, my my mind went blank and I had no idea where I was or what I was doing.
mmm, it was pretty scary... Furthermore! It's the new song! It's not right!
Dr. didn't help me...
At such a time, why not!?
"Help me, Dr.~"
