  • oh my..so cute...~

    nt bad...they are so creative

  • perform only, don't shoot those monkeys

  • Want perform,perform properly,if not fk off

  • WTF

    

  • I don't like. Really shameful and painful to watch. I think you taint the art and give LD a badder name than triads. Disgusting.

  • execution needs improvement but i give credit for creativity and hardwork ! keep it up !! 不要灰心

  • I give credit for the creativity. But i'll still go for the traditional lion dance anyday. It just doesnt seem right. Some things should just be left the way it is.

  • Shame on you..Singapore! Lame..

  • Anyone has any idea where can these hip hop lion dancers be hired from?

  • I like experimenting with fusing things together, but I have my limits. I've attended many lion dance ceremonies and I find this really sad. Keep it traditional!!! There's a reason why the movements of the lion dance is like that, and to taint it that way is an insult. Hope they didn't get the red envelopes.

  • The dancers are innovative, however I think it is not acceptable, you guys should preserves the traditional, and implement the dances for certain segment only. Lions still should be doing the moves as though how a traditional lion dance should move!!!

  • i feel like this is a disgrace. Lion Dance is about bringing good luck and taking the bad spirits away. not hip pop dance. this is simply wrong.

  • Fucking Shame..

  • those masks are freaking me out

  • great

    

  • đỉnh !  ........ very god !

  • Haha well someone had to do this someday. Some of the big lion dance tournaments have already turned into dog and pony shows anyway.

    But I agree this team needs to keep the tradition going and practice real lion dancing along with hip hop.

  • Wow, who knows that just by wearing lion dance costumes this group of untalented dancers can get so much applause??

  • i mean i guy droped a baner lol at 4:12 hahaha

  • lol a gug droped a baner at 4:12 lol

  • quit filming the fucking crowd i just want to watch the fucking performance not the fucking ppl who are very boreing and are not filling up my hunger for entertainment LEARN TO USE THE GOD DAMN CAMERA YOU FUCKING NOOB!

  • so funny

  • Quit filming the crowd!!!! -3-

  • this is so funny ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no.1!

  • this is more like watching audience...

  • Furthermore, the so called lion dancing we see today is very different then the ones that was done 20 years ago. Nobody even do high post lion dancing then but now it is standard for all lion dancing competition. Can we say high post lion dancing is "not traditional"? Also, the styles of lion heads went through many changes. What we call "traditional" of anything are constantly evolving and changing. Don't mistake "rigid" as being "traditional". One have nothing to do with the other.

  • This is great! Modern, ballet, Hip Hop, lion-dance, tango, all in one...good job!

    For those who oppose to this clip: I have been practicing Gung Fu for over 40 years and teaching for over 20 yrs, so I may qualify to say something about lion dancing. Lion dancing is and art form traditionally for celebration of holidays and festivals. The main purpose is to bring joy and entertainment to the people. So what's wrong with this style???

  • @2redstick so you don't mind when they do hip hop gung fu then? I might agree that it does bring 'joy ' but not really ' entertainment',,,maybe for the northern lion but not the southern lion...I would have joy and entertainment too if they done it with babes wearing bikinis. What's wrong with this style? What style?? All it is just a mixture of all non Chinese dances done wearing Chinese Lion Dance costume. BTW I have been teaching lion dance for 20yrs.

  • I think he loves those girls beside him, thats y..

    He is so pervert!!!

  • dis is not how a lion dance which is suppose 2 b.. sad..

  • I'm a lion dance lover, I love watching lion dance since i was a kid until now i saw this video....maybe some of you is agree and likes this ,i'm not offense with it too, but seriously i really feel upset and think that the tradition of Lion Dance had been spoil after watching this =(

  • @JorJorArmany so why ant do that

  • guy in shades looks like his on drugs

  • It seems like... he/she is not recording the dance but on the man or the woman beside him/her :D

  • The idea's unique, but the execution is horrid. Kinda is a sad attempt at it. If you wanna do a fusion like this at least make it good. And its under the channel uniquelysg? What a joke.

    Oh and camera dude... wth are you doing.

  • Hiphop with Lion dance, that 's creative but our tradition will be gone away xD

  • @Nickof24 if the old doesnt go, how would the new come in?

  • Comment removed

  • @FuriousGrey I agree that e new generation must come, but e new generation still need to depend on the old generation in order to surpass the old generation. The new generation is always better, but not changing the whole traditions that was first started. E.g.you learnt a martial art call wing chun & you say you want to put some wing chun moves with some boxing skills &calling it wing chun stances? It really don't make sense. same to modern day & lion dance, both are different types of dance.

  • Kawaii!~~ the lion so cute!~~ 2:26

  • If the creators were to add ballet movement and tango SHARP snaps of the head and portray the loose shoulders of hip hop by flapping the sides or whatever, it would have made more sense. This is typical of the current value of "instant" culture - with no study; mix everything and rojak the whole thing and call it art - what are we degenerating to?

  • Like many others, I feel that this, though entertaining, is too uni-dimensional to be considered art. It is just hip hop with Lion Dance costumes - just like doing a Malay dance in tutus. Also the mix of music was too mixed - from the dance of the little swans to tango.

    Now the Lion Dance originally mimics the movements of a Lion - catlike and elegant - and interpret an animal with 4 legs performed by 2 "animals" with 2 legs - imagine the coordination involved

  • @pujipojie Gong Xi Fa Chaii. Why is that Chinese dont invite other people from other countries to their CNY even when this people recognize the celebration, Is it part of Chinese culture not to extend hospitality to other people?

  • Cool! Gong Xi Fa Chaiii!

  • @pujipojie Gong Xi Fa Chaii. Why is that Chinese dont invite other people from other countries to their CNY even when this people recognize the celebration, Is it part of Chinese culture not to extend hospitality to other people?

  • @mj2j46 really? where are you? i am not sure about that because I believe in my country; Malaysia, we celebrate all festival regardless your race and religion. That's what make us as 1Malaysia.

  • @pujipojie ...yeah am in Malaysia and i felt so disappointed that I didn't go out for Chinese new year this year. I have been there for some 4 yrs now...i gave hang bao out in the last two yrs like ten envelopes received none so last year i decided to give out only oranges, this year i gave nothing bcs I just felt it seems the Chinese see it as there own celebration by not inviting other people for the celebrations. l felt its just to the Africans they do this but they even do to other people.

  • Ppl who can't appreciate it and discrimates this performance has no taste. This is Singapore, please be more open minded and screw ur comments about how much it disrespects lion dance and hip hop. This is fusion geddit.

  • While this is nice, it's just hip hop with lion dance outfit.

  • Wat the F_ _ _78 u all doin!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • try doing ballet dancing in a hip hop street wear, imagine how it feel? You cannot see the essence of ballet at all. understand wat i mean?

  • stupid camera man

  • I thought that this was going to be a real lion dance performance to a hip hop beat....

  • cool

  • retarded. but just abit.

  • kinda nice but somehow there's too much of hip hop side and the original concept of lion dance is a bit too little... or i should say both the culture is not well balanced enough anyway this is from my point of view only!!!!

  • =_=

  • NICE! Those who dislike are close minded people. A performance is intended to makes people happy and they did it!

  • this is not not creative at all. no respect not only to lion dance but also to hip hop dancing.

  • @raspecs

    How is this a lack of respect to hip hop dancing? This IS hip hop culture itself. The entire concept of taking something everyone knows, and injecting flavour, attitude, passion and energy into it. That is hip hop.

  • FAIL!!! one of them dropped the poster. and this is lame.

  • this is the most stupid and disrespectful street performance ever

  • LJ lah....

  • you see this with other cultures as well. people are fusing the east and the west in attempts to make peace with both. take the good parts and put away the bad, that's not such a bad idea isn't it...i've seen malay dance "mixed" with some "hip-hop" and even the westerners are learning asian stuff too. This is happening with music and visual arts, i don't see why not for dance too.

  • god stop complaining abt this insulting or disrespecting anything or what not,enjoy the bloody dance as a performance,you people complain abt everything,sheesh

  • Its a JOKE !

  • bodoh orang orang ni...mempersendakan tradisi...

  • lion dance and street dance is totally different u bananas. if u r ang mo wannabe juz go for ur street dance and dun insult tradition lion dance !!

  • 讨厌反传统!!!

  • don mess with chinese lion dance..go for ur own street dance

  • oh jeez, its difficult 2 enjoy tis cuz i f*ckin dun care wats d reaction of d crowd! anyways, luv d 2 big head dancers. full of energy when dey dance! cool!

  • I like the part when the lion dances the swan lake!

  • Entertainment-wise, it's cool. I'm surprised that there's no sifu or grandmaster barging in, kicking their ass off for it. hehe.

  • dont do this kind of china shit at orchard road la knn. get those fucking flag donation people out of orchard road too. seriously embarrassing.

  • @jping83 Singapore can showcase versatility as a creative and hip hop place without being an insult to a few millennium of Chinese tradition. U may call it fusion of east meets west or tradition meets modern creativity, I see it as "5354", it's neither here nor there. None of sections of the dance are particularly impressive, relying instead on the novelty of putting on lion dancing costumes. The audience do like it but how many Singaporeans really knows, observes and respect tradition? How m

  • i loved the lion tango

  • i used to lion dance and i loved it. my troupe guys would try all kinds of crazy shit. the guys used to tell me the sifu would even make his lion swallow the firecrackers like OM NOM NOM NOM. loved this vid! thnx 4 sharing!

  • 4:15 epic haha!

  • This is a disgrace to traditional lion dancibg yrt to your lion dance association. Lion dancing was one of the mostrespected performancea. No matter hiw bad, horrible or good it is still respected. But dont treat the lion this way that gives bad luck for you, the lion and your troop. Dont disrespect the traditional way of lion dancing by hip-hop

  • 4.15 the one on top accidently drop one of the diu lian so sad!

  • Fresh approach, if you treat this as a dance, yes its rather well done. But to say it as a modern day Lion Dance, its insulting. Just like a cultural dance, if you learn lion dance before, one will know that there's a particular meaning behind every moves, you cant just simply modify it, for fun & performances.

  • LOL , wow , those are great dancers ^^b TUMB UP ! GO LION DANCER ! so cute =x

  • Fuck la. Dman thrid world leh. stop all these things to do with traditional nonsense. what lion dance. 7 Month come also dont burn all the fuck thing la cb. air pollution la knn. cant believe 21st centuary got all this stupid shit. what will the angmo think when they see this. tmd

  • 1 word,nice

  • yup bits cool man

  • why you kept comin back for that lady's face?

  • WTF what lion dance is this? what your lion dance name? go for traditional ma. hip hop lion dance.. your Throw all Lion Dance face.

  • @xkovan96 cmon now, you gotta admit this is the shit, we been doing the traditional lion dance for as long as people can remember, why not try something new

  • i love it so cool, specially at the "Swan's Lake" part.

  • i actually like this better than the traditional one, especially the tango part

    this is much more enjoyable and less noisy :)

  • yea x) lol the modern lion dance lol damn cute

  • wtf is this

  • stupid people making fun of lion dance!!!>=(

  • i think its creative

  • pat those lion dance do not beg for money ok at least they do is pay respect to the shop and take the money leave ok? have you ever tot of those very poor people that cant hire lion dance ? I know that they dun have licence to do that but sometimes it's a good thing

  • Lion Dance is a traditional art in singopore doing this will just make this troupe a joke don't you think so? have you seen a lion do that kind of stuff b4? no right? LOL

  • what the nonsense is this???!!!you think funny??!!!

  • This was a cool idea. Whoever thought of it should get recognition for doing something creative and entertaining. The crowd in front of Ion seem to be enjoying the show so I am not sure what the negative comments here about. If traditional Lion Dancers want to be angry about something they should be angry at the crap performances by the groups that go around to the hawker stands and beg for money. haha

  • as a huge fan of Lion Dancing and Breakdancing. Both which I've done in the past and respect....this is just so cheesy!!!

    Maybe its just those giant Buddha heads and Lion Dancers doing terrible choreography to some cheesy techno music.

    I don't know. I'm not feeling it. I wouldn't be so proud saying I hip hop dance in a Buddha head or a Lion Dance outfit.

  • This is not lion dance performance. They created to perform in this way, so let it be. It's not practical. It's entertainment show, not lion dance. You don't get to see this often than lion dance.

  • Comment removed

  • Lion Dance, is a traditional art form that incorporates physical training commonly associated with martial arts and ascetic expressions. those people who in lion troupe see this must be angry and upset...

  • creative, yet disrespect.

  • Fuck the cameraman DUDE! QUIT SHAKING! Whats his problem!? i want to watch the performance and you let me watch the audience for? Improve your Camera Skills what the fuck.

  • @JuicyWubby sorry... he was wanking

  • @JuicyWubby sorry... he was wanking

  • @JuicyWubby sorry... he was w*nking

  • @JuicyWubby where did you get the impression he is doing this for you? have you paid him? don't complain when its free. give thanks. he can do whatever he wants.

  • @JuicyWubby I feel ur frustration ...this is one great vid...the shaking kinda spoils it...XD

  • ahahaha..this was so awesome..i was in Singapore for cny and i saw this perfomance too...i was laughing all the way..thumbs up for the creativity in this =)

  • cool man, I wasnt in Singapore for CNY and I really enjoyed this clip! hugs & loves from Germany.

  • IM FINALLY SEEING CREATIVITY IN SINGAPOREANAS!!!!!!!!*cries with joy*

    =P

    AWESOME idea!!!!!!!!!!

    it'll be better if they can incorporate those lion dance feel/moves into their tourine tho....

  • hot gal @ 9 o clock

  • just don't like it.

  • haha this is damn good!

  • Comment removed

  • well from the evidence of the video, it seems MORE people enjoyed this than to take offense! i must say this is a very refreshing idea to mix tradition with modern elements, i don't think they are looking to put up a traditional liondance show, it looks like it was done on purpose to showcase the city's versatility where east meets west to promote the country as a hip and creative place.

  • @jping83 it is mot a mixture of tradition with modern elements(Ballet and tango modern??) but doing a medley of non Chinese dances wearing lion dance costume laced with minute traces of lion dance. Maybe corruption rather than mixture is a more appropriate term.  Bring on Line dancing Lion dancing...

  • meh dont disrespect lion dancing .

  • this is not lion hip hop

  • This is sooo cute!!!!

  • Hahah, modern meets ancient. Awsom!

  • THAT IS SO EFFIN COOOL lol

  • I like to see how lion dance is incorporated in hip hop nowadays. others will disagree and complain about not following traditions but the heck with them. seems like hip hop lion dancing is becoming popular.
