Ok, this week was very interesting, it was a good show, alot of good talent, but... dissapointing in some parts i guess, so heres my input / thoughts etc
Mindtrick:
He was really good, i guess his first performance was better, this kind of felt the same but he added some other bits in there, his tutting looks the same as the tutting he did in the first audition, I love this kid but it was a bad move, make do more tutting where you stretch your arms a bit rather than the close to the chest type tutting, then he did it again on some slow part of the song, but hey, for me, the slow part worked better than the faster part.
Juicy:
Best kid crew this show has ever had, I was impressed with it so much, I didnt like much of what they were wearing, but they hit hard, it was dumb of Ashley Banjo to say about their syncing seing as... he's part of diversity, but yea, I was impressed, they danced to hip hop, like a crew should.
Gymtasia:
I dont... even remember much about it, but yea...
Leon & Dotty:
they were... really good, i dont usually like this sort of stuff, but it flowed well, and their performance was really strong, I really liked it.
Shun:
Really good, I dont usually like watching Bboy stuff, SuperCrew is my least fav crew out of the abdc winners, but this was really good, he's really creative :3
Ruff Diamon:
Ok, when i watched their HHI performance from 2011, I wasnt that impressed, and then their HHI performance 2012, which was used for their first audition really impressed me, THIS routine... was... somewhat epic, alot of tricks, maybe too many, but it was done in a way that i thought "Wow, they could go to HHI this year, and win" and would be really happy if they won GTD2013, much better than Antics, that double flip was crazy, i know he fell on his butt but, oh god it was epic, while watching I remember just thinking "wow, this crew would be able to to compete on ABDC and go far" aswell.
oh god i hope they win.
Ruff Diamond went through good.... Gymtasia... really? was expecting Shun or Mindtrick =3= kinda... meh =3= whatever, right i'ma add Juicy & Ruff Diamond to my list on the side :3

Got To Dance Semi Finals Week 4.
Ooo pretty long post this week.
Ok, this week was pretty interesting for me, first, on the ad break before the show started, I was pretty impressed with something diversity did in the ad, I didnt like the tutting they did about their head because I was doing that well over a year ago, and with them doing it, it just doesnt look right, but the part after the over the head part was pretty good.
Anyway, on with the talent.
Antics:
I'll be honest, they're strong, athletic but... alot of the routine felt like they were trying to be like someone else, one did a drop onto his back, and it wasnt that smooth, it felt like a rip off version of what Ryan Conferido (Quest Crew) usually does, and the other parts seemed somewhat messy, and i knew the one direction thing was coming, it was a bit predictable. and then they jumped off stage like people use to do in ABDC, so for me, It wasnt that great, and last year they were tutting, which felt like I was watching white guys do Poreotics, but not as clean, or as fun.
Amour:
This was prerecorded, I cant remember why, I thought it may have been an age thing, like, the girl was out passed her bed time or whatever, but then it showed her in the audience after they showed her prerecorded routine, so it was odd, the routine was nice, made me happy, though I did go to the kitchen and get more pizza D: and missed some of it. She's adorable and really good for an 8 year old, probably the best of the night i'd say :)
Gaana Rajas:
I cant remember everything in this routine, but it was interesting to watch, it wasnt the typical boring bollywood stuff that i've seen over the years on BGT / GTD, it was more powerful, however, i dont think it was as powerful as other stuff, It did have that street feel to it though, maybe because of the power they had or whatever, was pretty good.
Javier & Julie:
I agree with what Aston said (i think it was Aston that said it?) Julie is uch better, Javier is a bit sloppy and not as elegant as Julie, but it seemed nice, its a bit odd that Javier looks like a nicer looking version of her husband / boyfriend, javier is sexy o3o it was pretty good also :)
One Step Ahead:
It felt like they were one step behind tbh, dont get me wrong, I really appreciate that they're in sync, and i loved that they were in sync, the cheesey smiles though put me off, and the routine wasnt that great, however, I think if they were a street crew, with the right choreographer, they could be a powerful street crew because of how in sync they are.
Godson:
_______O: He's nice, always i'm on my blog, i'm going to compare and stuff, he's like the british version of tight eyez, but Tight Eyez is much better, Obviously because Tight Eyez created Krump, and ever since that video i watched that he did with Jaja (IaMmE) I really love him now, so Godson's routine was interesting, the slow part he did though was a bit odd for me, he's athletic, sexy, got a nice body :3 ya, I'd like to see him in a crew, mainly because that other krump crew wasnt that great, I think Godson would be good at Chreographing a crew.
So Godson & Antics were voted through, I knew this would happen tbh, I predict next week that Mindtrick (which is my fav dancer) and Ruff Diamond will be going through.
Now the special part of the night, when Ashley said last week "SuperCrew" I thought he meant ABDC 2 winners, but he said "A Super Crew" with Methods Of Movement, Unity UK, Boadicea from Got To Dance Season 3, and Season 1 winner Akai.
So firstly, the routine was good, Boadicea have gotten better, their parts were nice, girly parts in a routine is always good coz i can be all "you go gurl" Unity UK's stuff was good aswell, they've also gotten better imo, however, I still really dislike Methods Of Movement, having Crazy Popper in the middle and 5 others BBoying around him just looks weird, It's like giving your newphew a bag of action man figures and putting one barbie doll in there, It doesnt fit.
Ok now for the best part... Aka... I was very impressed, take out methods of movement and i would have been very very very happy with this routine, take off 2 of the very's and thats how i feel about it. Akai has gotten much better, He's better than Ashley Banjo, and i think he could give Adam G Sevani a run for his money, the way he was moving was very slick, and the tricks he did were really cool, I was really impressed by the whole routine as a whole minus MOM.
tbh, If others like MOM, fair enough, its just not for me.
anyway, thats this weeks done, goddamnit I hope ABDC gets taken over or something, Jabbawockeez get alot of money, cant they like... take it over and have a member from crews judge, so like, maybe 1 of the Jabbawockeez as a judge, have Dtrix as a judge too, one from SuperCrew i suppose, and then the 4th judge could be special guests from each winning crews, so one week they have Moon as a special judge, next they have Jet Li, week after Hiro, week after that Chachi... you know :)
I usually look forward to ABDC starting a few weeks after Got To Dance but kinda sucks that I dont have anything to look forward to over the next few weeks <:
anyway, thats all for now :D

Got To Dance Semi Final 3.
Didnt watch this sunday as i was tired and couldnt be bothered to go
to my sisters, I instead went monday and watched it, I have to say, this
show was a pretty good one.
so lets begin.
Poison:
I said i liked these, but I've gone off them, after watching their first audition again and seing the girl do the one trick on her back while the other girls just stood there doing nothing to "where have you been" it was pretty dissapointing, they're all in heels... and they kept saying heels, and Davina said heels, and the choreographer said heels, and Ashley said heels, and Kimberly said heels, and Aston said heels, and we also heard the word heels about 10 times in the VT, and then after, when Davina showed what people were saying on twitter, we saw the word heels about another 5 times >_> geeeh, the choreo for the semi final was dissapointing, it didnt have nearly as much oomph as the first did, they're from the same county i'm in (essex, so i wont shut up D:< ((essexjoke?)) it just seemed... odd, and the syncing wasnt that great.
Hash Tap:
seing as the program was recorded, my sister thought it'd be a good idea to skip through these girls performance, sorry ladies D:
Rory:
Now, I didnt think he was that great in his first audition, but this was Veeeeeeeeery impressive, his tricks were good, but too many tricks can be bad, because then the performance feels more like a stunt than dance, but he was good, had some good bboy stuff in there, he did a peice of tutting, the tutting was ok, it just seemed like one of those tutting peices where people havent done alot of tutting and dont know where to put their hands next, but i still liked it alot, probably the best routine in a semi final ever.
Wild G:
yeaaaa, i didnt like it, It was... odd, the waving he did in the beginning part felt weird for me, it wasnt really wavey, it was more like... I dont know, I cant remember much of his performance.
IMD:
NOW THIS was ALSO very impressive, Wild G helped choregraph their peice, which was much better than his own peice, there were a few syncing issues, and some bits where I was like "those people are doing that, what the hell is that kid over thar doing?" but it was still good, the tricks were done nicely, there were probably too many for my liking but i still liked it.
G-Nome:
again, another my sister skipped, sorry men :V theres nothing more a guy like me likes than guys leaping around shirtless ___O: but yea, she skipped.
Kimberly Wyatt:
Ok so i gotta judge the judge, her new song is catchy, and i thought her choreography was better than diversity's so yaar :) job well done Kimberly :)
I'll try and post sooner with the next, does anyone actually read these? ionno... but whatever, i'll continue anyway, some point in the future I want to have a dance crew, or join The Royal Family / ReQuest / Misfits, either 3 would be a dream come true, maybe one day.
so lets begin.

Got To Dance Semi Final 2
again, short decription of what i thought of the routines and stuff.
Buckness Personified:
pretty odd name, I'm not really a fan of krump unless ReQuest are doing it, it would have been nice to see actual hip hop than a routine all with dubstep, maybe thats why i dont like many UK crews, they dont usually dance to hip hop =3=, anyway, some of Buckness Personified's visuals were good.
Mechanikool:
the routine wasnt that great, i didnt like his first audition or this, but this seemed somewhat sloppy, he didnt really move correctly to make the broom look as if it was pulling him about, It was more like he was just swinging it about to the track, could have been done better, wasnt really a good animation peice.
Mini Moves:
I thought these were amazing, i usually dont like kid groups / crews because the judges judge them by cuteness (even though they sit there and say they dont) the way their routine was done was really cool, i cant remember what song they danced to, but they hit sounds in the song that were what i'd expect from a dance crew / group, It felt somewhat like more of a crew rather ... ionno... whatever they are :)
Rhys:
I cant really remember what he did, but he's really talented, I'm not much of a contemperary fan.
(had to check the site because i forgot who else performed)
The Pulse Collective:
tap / street... yea... nothing says street more than the song they picked to dance to, goddamnit, someone dance to some hip hop D: <
again, another routine i cant remember much of.
Momentum:
again... another crew who uses the word street and doesnt dance to hip hop, instead... lets use a movie soundtrack (is that whut it is? ionno) and not be a street crew atall, believe it or not... you can mix theatre and street together, and dance to hip hop.
hmmm, Diversity's performance... ashley banjo in the middle mostly again, i guess they've got better... it seemed more clean or whatever but yea, ionno, it feels odd with how tall he is, i guess thats why he puts himself in the middle, the singing part was weird, and the silly moves with the microphones were incredibly cheesey, to any who like diversity... go watch street dance, then go watch step up 3.
Buckness Personified:

Got To Dance Semi Final 1
So i forgot to post aboot this, so i'll just type up what i thought
of each performance, and in short coz... i cant be bothered to type alot
=3=
Lukas Mcfarlane:
He's pretty nice, his performance was good, strong, I'd like to see him doing more street type stuff rather than James Arthur's "impossible"... ugh i dislike that version of the song =3=
Dance For Joy:
watching them dance makes me feel happy, Its different and kind of cool, prooving that people with dissabilities can achieve alot :D
Molly & Vitally:
meh =3= I dont like this type of dancing, it could be done to a point that i liked it but... I cant remember anything of their routine.
Notorious:
they're trained by some chicks from last year, I think they're better than the people who taught them, or atleast... the choreographers gave them better choreo than themselfs last year, It was pretty cool, i liked.
Collective Ent:
boring, It was more commercial than street, but... ionno, Sorority's performances are like commercial but feel more street because their choreo is very tight and hard.
I cant remember much of Collective Ent's performance apart from alot of people standing in a line across the stage.
Tom:
I'm not suprised he got through, he's young... and with any show ever "OMG YOUNG KID, MUST GO THROUGH COZ IS YOUNG WOO"
for me, I didnt like the performances either of time, Its not that i dont think he's talented, its just... I wish he'd listen to sounds in the song and make up choreo to those sounds, rather than it feel like a freestyle to a song he's not heard before.
thats ma input V: opinions :V

Got To Dance 7 (week 4)
So there was only one episode last sunday, and there wasnt really anything i could remember that was worth posting about, then remembered that was some tall, bald guy... fierce... very fierce, he was all "vogue vogue vogue" and awesome, other than that, nothing else :3 I'll probably post later because i think its the final episode and we get to see who's going through to semi finals :3
