i do agree that china's group performances were awesome, but it was a dance competition not a martial arts skills competition.
to anyone that doesn't apreciate the australian contemporary dance you should know that is was created as a rebellion against ballet and other strict forms of dance and it pushes the boundaries of what dancers are capable of. it's dynamic, balistic and technical.
what the hell? everybody sucked: what's with Australia's makeout session and newbie moves? China repeated too many routines from previous shows... And USA was just hella boring...
The biggest travesty is that if the morons at NBC had to stick a stupid pretense of a "competition" with rigged scoring to this show. It should have been about watching different groups perform without politically biased bs judging thrown in.
I can't believe Australia lost D: I understand how last time USA got a 66 for their "storytelling" but seriously this time round it was kinda boring :S and Austraila should at least get something like 57 for that :'( even if they came third, 53points is absolute crap >>
Okay i am a Chinese dude that was born in australia and loves Bboying so im a fair judge, yes i agree USA wins the group performance but i reckon it was absurd that it was 66 points, Australia should of won the total score, was real bias, they should also rename the show to Global X factor (no singing aloud) i would of wanted to see quest crew rep USA but their not pure american
it's not surprising the yanks won even though they were the least talented out of the final groups. the only reason the yanks won is cos it's american television and people would have had a cry if they didnt win and they would have lost all their ratings. americans suck donkey balls. that was a bullshit result.
I was shocked that Australia did not win! THat was extreme dancing all throughout the whole routine! US did not deserve to have a higher final group dance score which ultimately led to their victory. Kaba Modern dances way better than Groovaloos..
Clearly Australia were the better dancers both technically & by chorography. awesome song choice too. China was both entertaining, thrilling & acrobatically synchronized. Good song choice, lacked dance moves, overall i felt it was martial arts in sync! As for USA, if youre going 2 talk it up like you did, then you have to Bring it! Hip Hop would have been a better choice than Rap. Crap chorography, no fluidity, nothing special dance wise? I have no idea how u won that! Aust 1, China 2, USA 3.
I do think that the U.S. team could've stepped it up a bit, but i agree with the way things turned out. Australia's performance just looked like a bunch of falling on the ground, and it got boring really fast.
I agree whole heartedly. Us routine was tired. complete ups and downs, no direction. They were doing what the song told them to do. "move robotic". and the beginning was uncalled for.
Very physical, but not very original. Seen all this before AND can't we get away from this awful music and it's gangster connections, USA can do better.
embarrassing US group performance-wheres the good groups from so-you-think-you can-dance..or that teen dance movie from 2008..they were better than this troupe. yuk.
I thinks this show is awsome, it's a great idea to be able to explore and admire all types of different cultures around the world. We should appreciate more the art from other countries.
I think its ok to say if you don't understand a certain style of dance, but I also think its important to keep an open mind. 30-40 years ago hip hop was considered some weird thing that the African Americans did and now its an internationally recognized form of dance
i don't mean to discriminate CHina's style of dance or culture,but to me it just looks like kung fu or tai chi,i just don't understand it as an american
I do agree that Jabbas should be on this show, they are fricking awesome!! Although, you have a spelling error that I just have to correct, I'm sorry xD
"They would have** (or would've) cream[ed] them all"
i totally agree!! some of the judges r such idiots.... eg australia and south africa.. they give shit comments.. they prob cant even dance themselves!! hahahaha
I personally think Ireland did better than Australia. I really don't get Australia's dance. Don't get me wrong it was great I just didn't really get it. Groovaloos were dope and I'm not being biased either. They could have done much better but this final dance was great. Next season Korea should be put into the competition with one of their crews, then you'll see the next generation of bboyin (street dance, breakdance) whatever media says
I was glad the Australian group did get through (I'm Aussie) but I agree that the Irish team did do a better job. The Australian group peaked in the first round.
Ireland was my overall favorite. I can't believe that the judges picked Australia over them. I thought Ireland was sooo much better. The reason I say this is b/c I am part Irish and am not the biggest fan of contemporary dance.
I sincerely hope India will not participate in this competition anymore. How can you compare Indian Classical dance which is 5,000 years old, full of culture and are danced in temples being compared to Street dance - Us, boring after watching them the third time - no new moves, same old steps.
To add further, I prefer the Australian Group dance - its the best. The duet dances all are similar - doesn't matter who won. The Martial art group is a joke !! Russian ballet girl - okay cute but again same old same old.....The US guy - again same old same old steps.
The same thing can be said about any type of dance. If you're saying that Street Dance and Ballet is the same old same old, then every genre of dance is as well. Genres of dance should never be compared to each other because of how different each form is.
Btw - Don't diss any genres of dance. That's disrespectful. We, or at least I, would like to keep dance a positive thing. So instead of saying, U.S' street dance is boring, you can talk about India's dancing and not talk about the U.S. at all
Of course America won...it is on NBC...an American network...I think Australia should have got more than bronze for both duet final and group final...I think their routine was harder then the US but at least beat China in the group and gold or silver in the duet....did you see how bad South Africa was!?! Australai should have won...Anyways...2nd is still great and by only 5 points...well done!
they so should of.....it was just our show so we won... Australia was soo much better in the finale it was like the groovealoos knew they were going to win and they didn't do their best....not that i liked them anyways
god all of the aussie group routines were all so boring compared to ANY of the group choreography from wade robson, tyce di oreo or mia michaels from SYTYCD.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the same could be said about the US group...same old same old. Most dance crews can do that. Nothing original...some flips, some popping and lots of bad outfits.
It's a choreographed martial art dance. Such things exist. That it doesn't have an emotional interpretation to the music makes it less moving, but it's still a dance.
australia should have won...
