I personally like to hear or see things for myself before reading
what others think but here's what I think:

I agree!  The video really shows that.  People start out dancing
calmly with almost somber expressions but then "eat the music" more
and more and let go and Kate smiles more and waves her hair around
(enough to "rip my heart out") and people close their eyes and dance
freely and fruit is split open and they start to fall down in the fruit
from exhaustion and so does Kate.

My very first, and short-lived, reaction was "that's all?", probably
because she doesn't move around much, just does the same moves over
and over in the same place but it works, it really does.  I wonder if
the main male dancer is the same one from the UK single... the
rubberband support man?

KT was on MTV! :)
