HOST: Have you seen Maroon 5's new music video
to "Moves Like Jagger"?
Three things.
Shirtless Adam Levine, hot dancing,
and Christina Aguilera.
Lisa Eaton did an awesome job recalling Mick Jagger's iconic
dance moves and bringing them to us in a
whole new way in 2011.
LISA EATON: Hi, my name's Lisa Eaton, and I recently
choreographed Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger".
The concept of the video was to originally get Mick Jagger
to come and do a guest spot within the video, because the
song is about moves like Jagger.
His type of movement, his freedom, the androgynous
sexuality that he has that comes across in his
performance that they wanted to capture.
The director, Jonas Akerlund, was very specific.
He wanted all different types of people that would embody
Mick Jagger essence.
We had a couple Mick Jagger impersonators.
And the impersonator was very nice, and he had definite
opinions on what Mick would do and what he wouldn't do.
But he wouldn't say Mick.
He would say, I would do this, and when I come out, I kinda
use my hands.
He would even talk in an accent, which was hysterical.
I worked with Adam, and he was really taken by one of Mick's
videos where he's almost in workout wear.
And he wanted to get the beginning of "Start Me Up."
And so Adam was really open to doing a couple moves exactly
from the Mick Jagger video.
And he was fantastic to work with.
He absorbed Mick quickly.
