There's a recent outrage over Danking dance item.

I wanna give my two cents or.. One cent? Hehe on the whole issue

Since I'm kinda a opinionated person~

So I will start from a dancer view.

Yes they did not deserve to win.

Not one bit.

For reasons

One : repetition

I don't think the audience realized this as much as a dancer did. The steps were so so so so similar. So much head swinging and attempts at groove.

The chorus was entirely ripped off for the second time. About 25seconds was the exact same step for the next 25 second

I mean no no no no dance show EVER does that.

The last time I did it was for my talentime in primary 5 I performed Oops I Did It Again. Yeah that was the same when I was 11.

I figured they got the same choreo for chorus idea from our mass dance and some kpop idols? But mass dance is for the masses. And kpop idols choreo is so damn good nobody mind seeing it a million times. Not a chorus without any energy and steps that seemed like it was taken from ndp.

Second reason

Copied from the net

It wasn't a dance cover. It was attempt to be original in dance without any acknowledgment then it was ripped off from the net.

And yes the dance was so damn similar.

Even the "climax" the scream

The steps

And third reason

The other contestants were all better dancers than them. Of course this is assuming that they judged based on dance skills.

But on the other hand

There are strong reasons why they should win

One: they had the guts

Which is seriously a lot

Which 18 year old without any dance background would dare to stand right in front of his schoolmates and wait to be judged by them? Especially the lead guy. I could tell he was fearless. Which is something I respect.

Two: they are inspirational

To non dancers of course

It is concrete proof that non dancers can succeed. Non dancers can be acknowledged. Appreciated. As long as they have enough hardwork determination and drive. We could all see their hardwork

Three : zero experience

Which kinda "shoot" back the copy argument

Dancers can scold them all they want for ripping off a video of great widely known dancers.

But what experience did they have ??

Nothing.

If they don't copy off the net. Or at least gain some ideas from the net. How can they know where to start? How to start? The basics of dance. How there must be a climax. How is being neat important. How to be confident on stage. How to get some groove and the audience cheering.

And thus

My final conclusion is no conclusion

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I can sympathize with both sides

On one hand it does seem very disappointing to all dancers that a group without originality or skill.. Can win a group with girls who are lead dancers in their schools.

But on the other hand. They are so inspirational and determined and they succeeded in entertaining and engaging the audience. Which is commendable for non dancers

Soo... Taadaaa

So much to study hehe

Goodnight !!
