Finally Big Song Enrique Iglesias, Usher, Lil Wayne 'Dirty Dance' .
Enrique Iglesias and Usher are clearly banking on the idea that "sex sells" in their new video for "Dirty Dancer" featuring Lil Wayne. Watch below, as the boys sing and strippers perform -- with a few science fiction twists.
In an ode to exotic dancers everwhere, Usher and Enrique duet, "She's a dirty, dirty dancer, dirty dirty dancer, never ever lonely / She's a dirty, dirty dancer, dirty dirty dancer, you'll never be her only." Usher sings alone in a dark room, while Enrique has girls performing and Weezy raps, projected onto the side of a building in one of the video's many futuristic twists.
The girls are just illusions, all three singers turn to hologram and back, and Enrique even sports a mechanized heart. As the video continues, the girls become customizable, and Enrique can change from one virtual stripper to another at the touch of a button. At least until his "credit expires" and the girl disappears mid-kiss, leaving a very disappointed Latin pop star to end the video.
