AceShowbiz - Anastacia, the American singer and songwriter known for her powerful voice, recently made a comedic cameo in the Australian TV comedy series Urzila. The show is led by South African-born, New Zealand-based comedian and actress Urzila Carlson.
In the featured clip, Anastacia takes charge of a group of backing dancers as they prepare for her upcoming single, described as a "dancehall banger." The goal of the dance rehearsal is to help the pop star "feel the heat" ahead of the release.
Drawing on her background as a former professional dancer, Anastacia evaluates the dancers, singling out Davis as the clear favorite due to his energetic and flashy moves. However, her attention is ultimately captured by Urzila Carlson's unconventional dance style. While not the most polished performer, Urzila dances with a unique rhythm and offbeat charm that fascinates Anastacia.
Despite Davis’ humorous claim that Urzila is from a "lesbian outreach program," Anastacia appreciates the quirky choreography. Echoing a Simon Cowell-style critique, she admits, "Maybe I do agree, she wasn't dancing very good. But I think she was dancing great."
Urzila Carlson then takes the lead on choreography for the track, delivering an entertaining mix of dance moves including finger guns, eyebrow raises, searching for keys, and embodying the vibe of a "drunk aunty at a wedding."
Anastacia shared her excitement about the collaboration on social media, calling it "such a joy being part of this!" She thanked Urzila Carlson for the opportunity and expressed how much fun she had filming the sketch. "I'm beyond excited for you all to see it! As Urzila says: You're gonna laugh your head off."
Emerging in the early 2000s, Anastacia achieved major success in the U.K. and Europe with hit songs like "I'm Outta Love," "Left Outside Alone," and "Sick and Tired." She has scored 12 top 40 hits on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, including three top 10s, and six of her albums have reached the U.K. top 10, with her 2004 self-titled album hitting No. 1.
Urzila airs on Wednesday nights on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and is available on demand via ABC iView. Fans can watch Anastacia's hilarious appearance as part of the series online.
