14 DAY TRIAL // Missy Elliott was the surprise performer at the Super Bowl 2015 Halftime show, popping up on stage during Katy Perry’s show-stopping number to deliver a flawless medley of her biggest hits, complete with an insane choreography.
Since then, people couldn’t stop talking about Missy, who, they just realized, was so badly missed.
It turns out that it wasn’t just the fans who were excited about Missy’s big stage comeback (this was her first performance at such a scale in a very long time): one of the dancers in her original “Work It” video is also feeling a bit nostalgic.
Her name is Alyson Stoner and she was featured in other Missy videos besides this one, including “I’m Really Hot” and “Gossip Folks.”
Because people have been asking her why she wasn’t on stage at the Super Bowl to dance with Missy, as she should have been, and because she wanted to pay her respects to a great artist who gave her a chance, Alyson put together a gorgeous tribute video that also includes some of the original choreography.
You can find it in full below. It was directed by Tim Milgram and was shot in a warehouse in Los Angeles, but it also includes other seriously talented dancers besides Alyson.
Speaking of, if her face seems familiar to you, that’s probably because you’ve seen her work: she’s been featured in the “Step Up” movies and “Cheaper by the Dozen.”
