"Conga"

"Don't you worry if you can't dance," goes one of the song's lyrics, and that seems to be LaKisha's biggest worry going into this performance. It's good to see her go uptempo, and she does a valiant job compensating with some vaguely hip-shaky moves, but the best way to make up for your discomfort about dancing is not to sing a song ABOUT A DANCE. Good vocal again, but she seems awkward, and the feeling, unfortunately, is contagious.
