Is showing/not showing emotion powerful/not powerful?

I am watching a music video. Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet Tour", and the song with the Eurythmics "Here Comes the Rain Again." has just begun playing.
It got me wondering what emotion really is, and whether the presentation of emotion is a form of control or beauty?
Here is what I'm watching for the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_3_t2Gi6U
Oh no! I tried the link but it won't play. At least you know where it is.

I think that the expression of emotion through body language is beautiful and universal even between species. it takes a deeper connection or maybe less connection with the self to physically show emotion. The verbalization, understanding, and hiding of emotion all cheapen the experience. but from an entrepreneurial stand point, the ability to hide emotion is one of the strongest attributes a person can have. I guess being able to feel all emotions is the most powerful thing. some people are only able to feel a select few.

Emotion is a sort of memory. It comes on cue. It is in response to. When emotion comes first, and colors an experience, we call that prejudice; when emotion comes after, like the striking of a note, emotion is the music, and like hitting the note, it is a choice. We shouldn't even give the expression of our emotions a thought; to perceive our emotions as expression, we have to step out of ourselves, and see our selves as an other. The capitalist seems to be a sadist, but hopefully he is not really misanthropic at heart: he is deceived by shadows, and he chooses the devil.

Emotion is a choice. Some might say that even primary sensory input are an act of will, Gurus can go above pain; and emotions too, like our thoughts and actions are acts of will also. Emotion is control: when you feel sad, anxious, or angry so that the emotions are the true original resonance of the experience; emotion is out-of control when emotions give you preconceptions about what to expect or how to behave.
