This act is jaw droppingly brilliant! Anna rocks! The fact that the so called "winner" has no video posted for comparison says so much more than words ever can.
Noone has said this act wasn't fantastic. 1st Runner Up is a massive achievement and a great honour. I think the judges deserve a little more respect from some of you, and should be credited with more intelligence and expertise than you give them. Who are you to say what they based their decisions on, or how valid those decisions were? They were chosen for a reason, they had several criteria to consider, and they are not all 'old school' or rigid in their views/perspective.
I'll let it go, it was an awesome show and there were some stellar acts, thanks for all your hard work Bruce in making all the acts available to everyone, incredible job.
No conspiracy, Indigo asked me to take it down because she commissioned a 4 camera professional shoot and wants that to be the view of her winning performance.
Personally I'm not familiar with the judging categories for the contest, or their relative percentage weighting, are the judging categories listed somewhere? "striptease expertise" sounds a bit nebulous, I just recognise a killer act when I see it. I notice the video of Indigo's winning performance has been removed, any inside info as to why this happened? If I were a conspiracy theorist I may be inclined to delve deeper...!
classic tease does not always win out. i really feel it was a matter of how this year's judges interpreted the category of "striptease expertise" which account for the highest percentage of the scoring for each performer. Roxi D'lite's winning performance last year was very modern. the judges are different every year and next year i'm sure they will interpret the performers in a different way. Just remember Anna was thrilled with winning 1st runner up and it is still a great honor!
If classic "tease" always beats innovation and originality, which it seems to at BHoF, then there's a danger that performers will increasingly err on the side of safety and we'll get cookie cutter performances in different coloured outfits essentially doing the same classic moves, I personally want to see acts at BHoF the likes of which I can't see at any regular show, decisions like this don't encourage this, just my opinion.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about why Indigo won over Anna. some of the judges this year, particularly Tiffany Carter and Billie Madley, are fans of the very classic style with emphasis on the "tease" in striptease. Indigo's act had lots of that. some judges may have also had a subconscious bias for indigo because she's competed several times. ultimately i stand behind the judges decision and i'm sure Anna will win the title in the next few year.
:-D Was wondering WHY WHY WHY it didn't win the first place, thought, maybe because she's from Europe, but yeah, guess you're right, could be the lack of frock-volume :-P
Hey folks first runner up in the competition that started with hundreds of applicants is a great recognition of talent. All the competitors were wonderful. I would have hated to be a judge.
This is the most original, unique, jaw-dropping routine I've ever seen! How the hell did this not win? Doesn't anyone notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!!!
Runner Up? I thought this show won Exotic Miss World as the winner on the night was outed as a fix??

Not the type of act the American Burlesque cognoscenti deem worthy I guess, oh well, maybe if she'd had a bigger frock....
