3 hours before the big show I filmed Sam Kang, Million Dollar Babies, Quest, and Tier2 practicing on my crappy digital camera. The real performances videos will be all over Youtube soon.
Sooooo…..the show was a complete success. PK worked the crowd into a laughing frenzy and the acts and guest comedians wowed them as well. During the audience participation segments, we had black and white people coming up to perform for prizes. We even had this one black lady pretend that she could sing just so she could come on stage and tell how wonderful the show was. I could clearly see patches of other non-Asian ethnic groups in the audience.
However, I am disappointed in the judges and who they picked as the winners. There were so many talented song writers and musicians, like Sam Kang and Connie Lim, who could have benefited more from winning than a group of dancers.
While I know the show isn’t like Randy Jackson’s America’s Best Dance Crew, where mistakes hurt the overall point count…the two dance groups that won 1st and tied 2nd, were sloppy. I do admit that they did some exciting dance moves, but overall, they weren’t that great or original as the musicians. Quest, who who tied for 2nd, took a chair flare right out of Project Korea at UK BBoy Championship. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they didn’t try to do too much with it and mess up at the end by bumping into each other.
I saw a bunch of mistakes up close because I was on the back stage watching the show from the side…which kind of sucked because I couldn’t watch how the audience would react to what was on stage. I wasn’t allowed to stand in the back with the rest of the audience. The only reaction I did get a good idea on was when Sam Kang went out to perform.
As Sam came out to meet the audience, all the other performers were commenting that “this guy is really good. ” Then when he started singing the chorus for his song Dreams, all the girls in the audience starting melting loudly. I still think Sam Kang should of won. More so than a group of swing dancers…..swinging to first place.
So many orbs floating around my camera shots…I wonder if they were ghosts.
I had a good time up in the balcony! I agree with you on who should have or shouldn’t have won, but what are you gonna do. San Kang was ridiculous.
i think sam kang should have won too!!
