[Crystisland]

[imadeuluk]

she is cold! so young and talented I love that. Keep it up

[talent91is]

B.Yung's piece was better because of its depth, both artist had excellent delivery but it was the imagery that made his peice so memorable, his ability to take obscure instances and paint vivid pictures for an audience is what seperates him from most. In addition his topic was much more specific and less popular among spoken word artist, her poem was centered around women which is great but its been done far too often, this may win at Kps but not at BNV or any national competition, there are

[I4Chris]

B.Yung was cheated!! Clearly his was better. This was worthy of second place but now first

[SynQuisUnique]

yea others have gave the same message, but ive never heard that message given the way she just gave it....WOW!!

[mihowell09]

B. yung was a little better but she was good but not first place good lash after lash line in her poem is the same thing b. yung had in his poem on BNV where he said whips and chains...and whips and chains samething almost......

[truinred]

where can you get the lyrics to these poems i love them

[derangedLover1015]

you gave me goosebumps!

[BBALLQU]

rhythmic lines on their aging lines.......nice!!

[DezyOrtiz610]

OK first of all dis video is not of B yung. It iz of dis women & her amazing poem so stop commenting on dis video & saying something of some 1 else. It makes not sense. He poem waz beautiful.

[albertmuci]

[SvD3Y3z]

What is this poem about

[Datdude513]

The Judges were probably all women. It still was good though I cant take nothin from babygirl but B. Yung Killed it

[talent91is]

@MrMcmicheals i have no reason to hate i accknowledged she is an amazing poet i have an emense ammount of respect for her work but B.yung had the better poem, why would i hate, c'mon man theres no need for hate

[MesiahPoet]

@talent91is How did B. Yung have the better poem ? Do you even know how to win a slam, have u ever even been in a slam before ?

[talent91is]

@MesiahPoet Have i ever won a slam? I just flew back from London from an Invitation only spoken word festival,I've won every slam ive been apart of(over 20)i shared a stage with Black Ice a month ago and opened up for Shihan in October, im 19 and have been invited everywhere from Upenn Columbia and Spelman, Ive had personal conversations with the likes of Joshua Bennett, Jasmine Mans, Miles Hodges,Carvens Lissaint and more, Im headed to Cali next week ill be sure to ask myself that same question

[MesiahPoet]

@talent91is hmmhm yea yea sureee. U still didn't answer the frist part of my question

[talent91is]

@MesiahPoet a merriad of reasons that Yung had a stronger piece, not to take credit away from Ms. Simon, if you are serious about spoken word you can message me and i will explain in detail some of the important factors in having a strong spoken word piece, moral of the story, Yung had a better Poem, Janine had a more entertaining piece. It simply lacked the depth neccessary to win at a higher level of competion.

[MesiahPoet]

@talent91is Nah I think I'm serious enough to know about "spoken word". There are many factors that contributed to her piece that you and alot of people would not have realized with the naked eye. One cannot simply say another person had the better poem without analyzing every factor both visible and hidden in the world of slam.

[MrMcmichaels]

this poem is great haters need to stop hating

[MsKuki21]

loved it!!!!

[dellabrook]

this is my type of poetry

[ReliableLojic]

B yung should have won but she's dope. I'd give her 2nd place.

[Zaimah1]

Fairly cliche. I appreciate her stage personality, but I agree, I think B Yung should've won.

[precisethoughts]

she's dope no doubt but...1:55 and beyond= mystcism, peep she wins right?

[steffydub91]

I love this poem and her personality ;-) b yung did well but I know why she won first place !

[lexhotone718]
