Fair enough, but there should be some kind of consistency in the
counting.  Peter's list was whimsical, to say the least.

You are free to do so, but your list (deleted for space's sake) sheds
new light on the topic.  One must either be all inclusive, as your
list was, or highly selective, as mine was.  In either case, I still
dispute the "number of choreographical interpretations" yardstick as a
measure of how "good" KT is these days.  It just ain't necessarily
true.

I don't wish to prolong this argument - I take IED's and Peter's
points under advisement, and reiterate my previous statement: I would
gladly have KT make no further videos, live shows, or televised
appearances in exchange for better albums!
