[18Geebee]

[ParraPremiers09]

[Monnie757]

Where have you guys gone? I really love your ability. Guys, you need an agent and get out there. Mmmmm, love outfits in this performance. Perhaps they should tour with the Tap Dogs, they're great too. I'd definitely pay to see your performance guys. I believe you live in Brisbane so why not tour locally and on the Goldie first? Please.....

[kaled11kaled11]

asom



[MrUKFORLIFE]

Jabbawockeez, Quest Crew, U Min, and Prepix are all better than Shift - 1 .... IMO. Sick performance here though, but I've seen better.

[EvilTruthSayer]

these guys are just awesome

[rara1818]

man theese guys should have won seriously they are so good

[liltaz123456]

from 1:26 to 1:31 seemed a bit retarted...they are soo pro though

[hashvid]

if you think they're good, watch the Quest crew

[NaruSasuFreakYOSH]

Hey, they ended with Michael Jackson again!

Choreography inspired by the "Dangerous" performances.

[SamanthaRawrrr]

Jabbawockeez should battle them (Y)

[jacketman25]

Yea but Jabbawockeez would win its not a fair battle

[jacketman25]

Quest crew should battle them!

[jerkedevries]

they really rock the house man. And one of them is really sExY

[ToffeeTornado]

they came second or third...right?? Who won??

[lifeoftheparty2121]

the guitar playing kid..smokin joe robinsoni think his name was

[ajmain2287]

[Jake481992]

ROFL at the heheheheh

[regab1000]

they were good at first

[JDragonCW]

nah they came like, 3rd or something

[samlaplant]

did they win

[mikhwang]

EXACTLY

[Hardnick]

this is a crappy version of umin

[0manderijn0]

diversity is great but they do a diferend kinda dancing. I think that if diversity tryed doing this they wont be as good as shift 1. the other way around too. they do diferent things.

[MrBThatsMe]

Comparing Diversity with these lot, it's just no contest. They wouldn't have made it past the second stage in the UK lol. Although the popping is good. It's just not 'Grand Final' good imo.

[Morax]

Yes, Diversity is awesome that's for sure.

Give them a live band, crappy costumes, and crappy lighting & set and see if it makes any difference.

Then give Shift-1 their original mix (no live band), decent costumes and a good set/lighting.

It's apples & oranges trying to compare the two.

[MrBThatsMe]

I don't think any amount of costumes/lighting/set can make up for raw creativity.

[Morax]

You'd be surprised what a difference it makes on TV

[Sophzwitizi12]

luv id

[lamonster25]

There's not a lot of enthusiastic in Australia.

but over all I love this!

[cantfindtab]

its enthusiasm not enthusiastic

[marktopp]

first time of seeing Shift-1 and watched a couple of performances and to be honest have to disagree with judges big time, I think it gets kinda boring. Inventive, just not sustainable long term I reckon. Wish them luck though.

[Watty1996]

what the fuck is wrong with you?

they didnt copy all you fuck heads they just got the idea from them so go get fucked

[xxinsider]

too bad , for a copy cat -5

[alsdruivthnsdpu]

im sorry they have good talent dont get me wrong there good but everyshow they do it seems the same to me

[charmaine0is0cute]

I like the guy in the blue

;D

[mihalis0000]

these guys are just cheap copies of U-min.

Get your own moves

[Slash4eva7]

2:09 drums has best intro to the song they did this sooo well

great song and shift 1 rule!!

[AustralianChild]

now this is real australian talent

[Mulishadomination]

Did They Win?

[EmmaB180]

nope

[taxino]

ok, thanks razzo!!

[taxino]

Whats the song at 2:10?

[razzo3456]

Iron man by black sabboth (sabbath?) can't remember how to spell it, but the song's right

[dogned]

I absolutely loved these guys, I wanted them to win so badly. Bloody genius's they are.

[kanedallan]

@dogned Yeah. It's too bad they rip mannerisms from other groups.

[dizzyeyeball]

SHIFT-1 R MAI NEW HEROSSS!!

XaIsLiNgx

[SxcAustralianGuy]

[Soccer8Gerrard]

smokin joe the guitar dude

[masterchiefazn]

I love the part where he laughs it's hysterical

[ekayra]

u guys look so great!!

good job...

[MarcelAMEN]

im from america and im philipino. i mean i have no problem with shift one but their style is just biting umin.

[Morax]

No mate, our styles are popping and locking. U-min never created either of those styles.

[MarcelAMEN]

shift 1 didnt create those styles bub. i bet i can beat you in battle

[Morax]

we never said we created them, we merely practice those styles. congratulations if you can win a battle, i respect you all the more for it.

let me know next time you're in australia.

[MarcelAMEN]

real talk i give respect to you guys too. its just theres a bunch of over cocky ppl on youtube who always talks wayy too much bs and it pisses me off. i know you didnt create the style. neither did umin. and there's sum guy talking shit to me saying hes part of your crew. hes the green one. yet he has no videos. soo i dnt have proof. pls correct me if im wrong. btw you better put those freestyle vids soon. your my favorite one in the crew bitch. haha :D

[Paiste402]

please do be aware that you are on youtube, challanging people to 'Battles" on the internet is just another way to increase your E-Penis.

im sure the girls so wild over ur battles.

[XAytherxRedictusX]

Yeah I have to agree with you. It seems like they took over moves from U-min...

Then again, I'm not a big fan of U-min and these guys actually put up a good show.

[MarcelAMEN]

you know what? you right indeed. im sorry for my rude comments. lol jeeze too much hate. hate hate hate. thats why i dont really get to dance battles that much. i pop. and i just started breaking for 3 monts. and already ive been in drama. haha jeeze ppl cant we get along? :)

[MarcelAMEN]

they jocked umin's shit. umin owns these aussie fuckers (no offense)

[santana2374]

this crew is gay as hell i heard they suck i just had to see how bad lol did they win i stoped watching at 2:50 lol

[Castor66]

And umin are world famous? They are on TV everywhere? They are the owners of all popping and locking moves? You and all other haters are idiots. They use a lot of the same moves and some of what they do pre-dates umin so learn your facts first before spouting rubbish.

[MarcelAMEN]

same question applies to you. ask yourself those questions. and besides umin can do way more than shift 1. can shit 1 break? certainly not. so yea. either way. why do you think jabbawockeez won AMERICAS best dance crew? its cuz umin inspired them. besides, if you were to take 1 person out of shift 1. see how they freestyle. by the looks of each person, their freestyle is prolly trash. umin can freestyle all they want. i have a vid.

[Castor66]

Interesting - Chris was not available to perform here yet they still did pretty good. It's a local talent show and is fun. I somehow doubt we will see them all over the world so no-one really cares how good anyone else is. It's a bit of local life like u-min are local to their area. I wouldn't get worked up about it.

[Morax]

haha, you guys are funny. I'll post a new freestyle vid soon.

[ST4RK3Y]

omfg keep talking crap, of course your going to have a better group than this you have around 310,000,000 MILLION people in the U.S., we have like 21,000,000 million people in AUS ffs

[MarcelAMEN]

umin is fuckin japanese you shitfuck

[ST4RK3Y]

woah my bad, i look pretty stupid right now... k soz where are you from then???

[Paiste402]

your a shitfuck..... battle-mon.

[Mailmann]

Hey look a bunch of guys who stole their routines from U-Min.

Real classy.

[JayRIPx]

And U-min is way way better also

[klegra]

what is that song when they do slow motion and is like fire of something is in background pls tell

[Slash4eva7]

its iron man by black sabbath

its an awsome song and these guys do it awsome :)

[frkknbeast]

terrible.. jabba>shit1

[yomama1215]

i say u-min is better u guys should checkem out =]

type it in

[ngwscracth]

they're great, but not the best i've seen.

[trampolineboy123]

go inderstre one i know them

[LokiRagnorak]

Wow I'm from USA and they are the best dancers I have ever seen, on Youtube, TV, or any genre OMG amazing!!! I hope they come to America and land a billiondollar contract I'll go see em!!

[Cross3061980]

what was the song at 2:18, the ironman one?

[yaobviously]

its called ironman by black sabbith or how ever u spell it

[Mishka1503]

Yeah Iron Man by Black Sabbath. First one I ever listened to by them. Tis good :D

[weedmanman420]

fuckin best band ever

[israelboi]

these guys suck , theyre trying to copy u-min but they just cant beat them

[OsakaPoppin]

lol U-min and shift-1 just has a same style called animation style... Copy? I don't see any copied moves in there?

[1403199230071963]

i think shift-1 are the best dancers in the world

[candt4lyfe]

that iron man part was perfect

[melanie350]

who won??

[jobrosxc]

the one with the blue hat , the one in the front, when the do the dangerous dance HIS MINE! l o l his so cute

[iceman9737]

That was a live performance to music created by a live band. None of this pre-recorded shit in clips!!!

To all the haters, Post your crews dance clip up and allow other people to judge whether you have the right to even give an opinion!

You peices of shit, it is just entertainment!

[iceman9737]

kaoskazin!!!

So you say that by doing a style of dancing, that this is plagerism...

Then performing swan lake, or doing hip hop or krumping or popping of any kind eg UMIN, fab 5, any popper at all is all plagerism of BOOGALOO SAM who invented popping and plagerism is when you copy someone else by using their work is it not???

Shift 1 use stylez of dance and they put on a show UMIN are very artist but not very interesting.

However... Contact me i will shcool you anytime anywhere!!!!!!!!!!

[tsunade4900]

all of there performances have michael jackson songs in them

[TechnicCreations]

NICE!

[janoota]

Thanks guys for pointing this out. I have just spent some time watching U-min on you tube and yes they are a class act I would say better than these guys they were a little more classy and their timing was spot on. I have no objection however for these guys having a go they need to be careful that they vary their act and make it very different from U-min. They are still good to watch though.

[gunit331]

lol i love the part with the iron man

[perkyness101]

i can't believe they didn't win!!!!!!!!

[Robjeknor]

Why are the voting numbers in the description?? Don't think it will have any effect!

[motyboy08]

its the suits the shouldent change them

[iceman9737]

These guys did this purely for fun and entertainment.  People who say they have no skill, why not put your own clip up post what the url is and then rethink your post a little!!!

Great entertainers!!!!

[doom918]

how many times do i have to say this?

I'll spell it out for you,

S h i f t o n e r o x,

Y o u g u y s s u c k!

get it into your fucking head!

[Naferty11]

so who won this?

[1bugleboi1]

i noe, i dont understand it, is it bad that they copied someone else's moves? i mean i wouldnt know u-min or w/e u guys are talking about if it wasnt for shift one.

so its like if im a big fan of micheal jackson and someone did moon walk i shud be calling them ripoffs?

[skyjacker91]

i think that's a different case. becuase everyone knows that the moonwalk was from michael jackson(which isn't true). But when these guys copy u-min, if they really are, people wouldn't know that the moves came from them (or was inspired by them).

[kaoskazin]

who cares if no1 knows they copied u-min (WHO ARE FAR BETTER) the point is its still plagiurism and some1 wud of seen this if they'd won the competition and australia wudda been shamed.

so happy that the guitarist one he was a mad dude :)

[Castor66]

Mate - stop typing until you learn to spell. Try reading a book!

As I have always said, there are varieties and there are straight copies. Yes - these guys have lifted a couple of moves from u-min but the entire act isn't. I don't need to defend them as they are quite capable of that. Remember that sometimes mimicry is the greatest form of flattery.

[kaoskazin]

I do read books, I just don't see the point in having to be 100% grammar and spelling perfect for a youtube comment. So get over it you understood what I said.

half of that routine would be from u-min, I'm not saying they're not allowed to but you have to admit when you watch u-min straight after it you dont find shift 1 as amazing.

[Castor66]

Thanks for clarifying the book reading issue and I'm glad that you spent the time to post a composed comment.

U-min do a lot of routines but rarely do live performances on camera. It's worth taking the time to look closely at the material to see what is live and what is not. This and the other performances from ! are all straight shots so it's worth checking out.

[Kangaroo9197]

They won?

[1051842]

no they didn't

[aKur3]

How can it even BE a discussion. U-Min is way better. Shift 1 are copycats. However, they're one of the better copycats if not the best copycats out there, so big props to them. If you're a skilled popper you can see they are not that good. It's the performance that makes it cool to watch. Their individual skills is lacking a bit. Still nice performance! (objective view from a dutchie here)

[ShodaIsh]

the dude wearing shades is also a dutchman. Do a youtube search for 'Liquid Rush' - watch the vids, then see what you think about individual skillz ;)

[OsakaPoppin]

lol I've seen all of them freestyle but er, lacking skill? LMAO fuck no they don't lack individual skills, matter of fact, I can bet you that very few people can beat them inside Australia OR Holland when it comes to individual skills.

Holy fucking jesus, aren't people just so damn ignorant.

[trustytimelord]

zomg they are so great!!!

And ur vids are rlly good quality!!!

Looking forward to more!

[iceman9737]

Kiralea5.........why don't you put your clip up so we can see what you come up with???

This was the only time someone ever slow mo walked, also did a heartbeat, also a michael jackson cover set for fun????

[aKur3]

Type U min or U-min the youtube search box...

[KiraLea5]

this group really needs to get there own choreography.. FUKN RIP OFFS

[elchochito]

are you stupid? just doing what they did alone requires skills, hours of practice? so? who gives a shit if they take a couple of moves here and there ?? idiots like you really piss me off... go fucking watch my little pony or something... or better yet.. why don't you watch whoever they "ripped off" their choreography from!?

[lawrencealcantara620]

i am not really sure but i think he meant the japanese group wich i cant remember the name. they both have same styles so i would guess that. though i will not comment on both since they both show different ideas, just same dance genre.

[Criminalz7]

WOW!!!!! AMAZING

[maxmatanza]

wow

[littlelady1989]

The one doing most of the talking... is my cousin! you were always such a geek back in the UK

looking awesome and funky. clever play on words guys.

i loved it and not cz i'm biased.

[skogsturken]

im his father

[ShIsNo54HuEy28]

no....i'm your father!

[themisjudgedpenguin]

and im his hamster

[sheenie86]

their actual performances are way better than the stuff they've shown on tv. when they have a decent amount of time to put shit together, it blows your mind-hole.

they all have day jobs, so it's not like they actually get to sit in a studio all day and make shit up.

who cares if they "copied" parts from other crews?? considering there's limited amount of movements in certain styles, EVERY CREW WILL HAVE COPIED ANOTHER AT SOME POINT!!

[sheenie86]

for crying out loud. what's with all the insults??

it's a goddamned tv show, they had a set amount of time to dance for, they had less than 2 weeks to mix a track, send it off and choreograph something to it.

how about we cut the hating and just appreciate that there are people out there actually getting off their asses and bringing these dancing styles to a group of people who may never have seen it before.

[welshstrogen]

The first song is queen another bites the dust remix, the second is i am iron man and the third i do not know.

[paramhanstanna]

does anyone kno which song they used??

[LiquidRush]

Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight

which is actually the bassline from Chic - Good Times

[Drolan77]

The question isn't 'are we original' it's whether or not they have talent. They have talent, get over it.

[emik789]

dey are incredible its so amazin

[flyingpiggybank]

cmon....they fucking lost in a show with nobody has talent...how sorry is that?....shift-1 suck...u got a problem....suck it!

[iceman9737]

This routine doesn't represent even 10 percent of what shift 1 can do. It was put together strictly to entertain a public audience........Not the dance community i thought that was obvious!!!

[openeyes12]

my God.

If you don't like then

WHY IN FUCKS NAME ARE YOU SITTING AROUND WATCHING IT??!?!?!!?!

stop complaining about how they aren't as good as jab-shit and u-fuckers.

WHO FUCKEN CARES!

get over it.

[birmingham2222222]

their like a cheap and sloppy rip off of U-Min and its really sad

[CommentBattle]

well u-min is so much better if not even fair. These guys are not original at all. But u cant really bring jabbawockeez into this because of the big fact that they are a complete different style of dance than this. They were on ABDC meaning they had to do challenges and stuff. this is complete freestyle (coordinated of course) but u-min and these guys are even really doing the same style as jabba. If that makes sense

[bridge1216]

i dont think they suck i think that they dont have anyone 2 compete wit in Australia so they hav no reason 2 get better, if u think about the only reason whhy group like jabba and U-min is good are they have rivals 2 mak them work harder so they can get better but that is just my opinion

[flyingpiggybank]

i noticed at the ironman part....the dude was way out of position that he have to walk around the guy next to him just to get back on the right position...and when they did the chest pop ...it look more like a heart attack.....also..their timing is way off.....their robots sucks...their faces look like they belong in a mental hospital..they suck BIGTIME!

[Swollenballbagboi]

Ill stab you in the face bitch.

[AussieRockerNick]

i chainsaw u in the face fucktard

[hotty0001]

there robot sucks?? haha are you nuts? its awesome!

[Zaratus1991]

dude he was ment to walk around the guy... your a fuckwit if u think these guys suck id like to see you do somthing even half as good as this u fuck with there chest pop didnt look like a heart it attack it looked fine stop bagging things out that u cant do yourself u fucker get a life

[EVENIQUE]

ShiFT 1 Is An Absolute Rip Off Off U-Min Period

Its A Disgrace To Dancing!When Your A Dance Crew U Want To Be Original To The Fullest And Shift 1 Isnt !I Mean Come On Just Look At This U-min Video Then look At Shift 1's Performances I mEan Damn Its Almost A No Brainer.{The Music Box} And The {Action Film Slow-Mo Walk} Is An Extreme In Your Face Rip Off Of U-Min!MORAX TELL YOUR GROUP THAT ITS TIME TO BE ORIGINAL U GUYS GOT THE SKILL JUST NOT THE CREATIVTY OBVIOUSLY!BE ORIGINAL U-MIN IS U_MIN!

[LiquidRush]

dude get a life seriously, why don't u get off your computer and go dance a little - you'll feel better... these clips don't even show 10% of what Shift-1 are capable of, i'd like to see you perform a popping routine on TV with a live band, and to impress an audience that has never seen this before (not toys like urself). Could people be a little jealous that these guys have gotten mad exposure? Only better stuff to come, check up x

[xxkiko126xx]

jabbawokiez and ESPECIALLY u-min kill shift-1. im in no way hating on them, but they are no match for jabs and u-min. those guys are in another planet.

[iceman9737]

We just try to entertain and have fun totally different to when we pop outside this style of routine.

Put your crew and routines up yeah ??????
