I'm OK with all the changes so far (besides Paula*). But I think I mentioned in the last thread I'd still love and watch this show if it was back to back dance routines without judging or competition!

The episodes so far seem well crammed with routines. I'm typically more biased to the street styles, so if we get to see more street routines and styles (and of a higher quality) because of the changes I'll be happy.

TEN YEARS AGO THIS STARTED! That is crazy. But it really does deserve it for me.

No real favourites so far (besides already loving Jaja), but some real good dancers no question.

*Paula - I dont particularly dislike her, but her comments are so wishy washy and wandering, she might as well not bother.

I have a terrbile memory so I'm no use when it comes to a comprehensive list of my favourites, but a couple of my go tos that typically don't get mentioned by other people that often-

Brandon and Janette - Ruby Blue (& +1 for stairs!).

Billy and Lauren - Boogie Shoes

There were a couple of my favourites in the 10 year show, but I did hope for a bit more from the episode. They should have made it a 3hr show :)



e: LOVED the final team street Busta routine last night.

I thought Burim gave it a decent go. Totally out danced by the two girls, but really not terrible. I expected much worse based on the pre performance video clip.

Asaf, on the other hand, was worse than I expected from his video clip.

I think I've only seen a season or two, but I remember being properly impressed by the routines Next Generation came up with, with them basically being a kids crew.

Hmmmm, cant find what I'm looking for on youtube right now.

RNG was the best and it sucked when they left.

Jeez, they're even better than I remember.

The dancing is excellent but their routines were phenomenal. Were they on the same year as IaMmE? Less quirky and more "mainstream" routines than IaMmE but definitely on par creatively.

That Drake song where they're dressed in camo gear blew my mind first time I saw it.

Hasn't Leonardo stepped in a few times over the years? Might be a conspiracy...but a good one. He always does very little, but it's always incredible and the girl properly shines because of it. JJ is stunning anyway though. Funnily enough her partner wasn't on my radar at all until his interview saying he was injured. In fact I cant remember anything about him again now.
I'm not sure how much of it is bias but Jaja still regularly grabs my focus in the group numbers.

ABDC:
Dtrix looks like he's about to explode after their routines, more so the first week. Most likely down to being the other side of the judges desk. But seriously coked fired up.
SUPERCr3w, that knee/elbow slide!
We R Heroes didn't really improve much from their first showing.



Also......perhaps not the right thread for this but, in preparation for my impending trip to New York (first time in the States) I've flicked through the NYC thread and noticed this thread came up a few times. Was just wondering, besides the on/off broadway shows, would there be anywhere to catch some 'dance'. It's pretty hard to come by here in my part of the UK, besides FlexN's (Brooklyn based) recent trip to Manchester.

I may bump in to Billy Bell at Sleep No More.

I can't really remember any of the routines despite only watching it yesterday. It was all a bit meh.

I reckon the final 4 is pretty fair. I think I probably expected Neptune to be in there but I can't really fault the four that were chosen.

Jaja is still my favourite, bias and all. Though without the bias I probably would have gone for Gaby after she grabbed me on one of her early solo's. She's been great all the way through.

But, if Jaja doesn't win, I'm blaming Christopher Scott. He completely wasted Jaja and Cyrus there. He's pointless.


Really liked Chebeeb's routine. Didnt love the Joshua & Virgil one nearly as much as the judges did.

I've no idea how Travis nails choreography over and over without it ever feeling like a regurgitation of one he's done before. Nearly all the other contemporary routines seem like a rehash of some sort.

And on that note, I reckon Travis was 'mentor' for team stage, Twitch? Probably not so much.
