The Voice
In 2012, Cupid chose the song for his audition to the
third season of the American music competition show The Voice, broadcast on
NBC. Although he gave a different version of the hit, none of the four judges pressed their "I Want You" button and he was automatically eliminated from further competition in the show. But after turning their chairs, judge
CeeLo Green recognized Cupid and asked him to perform another song to prove that "he can sing".
In popular culture
The song and dance are featured in a scene at the end of the film Jumping the Broom.[1]
In Week 5 of the 2008
NFL season, three
Miami Dolphins, including running back Ronnie Brown, used the "Cupid Shuffle" dance as a celebratory dance after scoring a touchdown against the
San Diego Chargers. The three were later fined as the celebration was deemed premeditated.[2]
