As a dancer. I love how Jam Republic shows variety of dance throughout the competition. I love Lady Bounce but Jam Republic has been consistent and gives unique performances that are unexpected.
Both are good teams, but when we talk about versatility it will be Jam Republic. It's like before I even watch LB's perf I know it will be like that based on their performances before. But JR always gives us new and unique performances. Which I really love about them. It's always new. You just don't know what to expect when JR performs.
I feel like Lady Bounce has become my second favorite crew on the season. Second to Jam obviously, but after watching their Hwasa choreo. I am really noticing them and their diversity in theming, as well as seemingly adapting the best to whatever the challenge is.
I absolutely get you. Only 1 thing tho, they do have a reaaaaally bland choreo sometimes its hard to remember them or any impact from their dances. They're really good teamwork and cleanliness wise but i dont know their moves really just blends out with the rest and I dont rreally remember much😢
I just loved how Lady Bounce used the bags as props, it was so well done! It was definitely my favorite from them, they weren't really in my radar before but this one was IT!
If JR were not on the show we’d be getting more of the same. No different to last year. They are dynamic and take risks. As a viewer that’s what I tube in for. To the people who say that Afro is simple or doesn’t look that sharp try replicating their moves and you’ll quickly find that trying to replicate that essence is no joke. The footwork and how quickly and powerfully they exert themselves is no joke. When the tables are turned JR could probably do what the other contestants can do, but the other contestants can’t do what JR do with such ease.
So sorry for this long comment but had so much to share! Haha! I found it so interesting when you talked about JR taking risks to basically do more simple things/take more time to set something up. Earlier today I was watching a swf 2 reaction from the Just Jerk crew from SMF and one of the dancers was talking about his experience in meeting Paris G. and he asked her something like "what's a code/how does she run her practices?" and she said something along the lines of doing the simplest, the best. And when he told this story, I immediately saw that direct translation/influence in Kirsten and Ling. And once you pointed out how they take risks to not be as complex, my immediate response/thought was exactly that- they could definitely kill an intense/synchronized/complex choreo that maintains creativity, but they tend to keep it simple. And with what they do bring to the table/how they dress it up, it's actually impossible to call what they do "just simple." There's that umph to them every time! And while it may be simple, once they get me locked in/ in the pocket with them, it's always a smooth ass ride. Do you know what I mean? Like I see that influence of keeping it simple but absolutely EATING it from all of JR members and it's definitely one of the many things that keep them refreshing to look at. For example, yes, that is 2 8-counts of walking...for you (as in someone not directly you)... I see an almost intimidatingly long stretch of time of 5 women stalking back and forth in front of the camera in the most swaggiest of ways that literally no other crew in this competition could most authentically pull off. Doing the simplest the best lol. Same with Kirsten and Latrice starting off as a duo. Is it niche for the context of where they are performing this live (S. korea)? yes, but have we seen them care about that when it comes to performances that rely on global voting? nope, they bring something fun to Korea, every time, that while simple is enchanting to watch and maintains a professional quality. And it can't really factor in judge's opinion but as comfortable viewers, I think we can note for all of these crews, this was filmed within 3 days of the Hwasa filming. Very impressive for all of the crews!
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective on this!!! You are 100% right on so much of it and I’m appreciative that you took the time to share it all! I’m excited to watch todays excerpts because I feel we will be able to experience more of this!
@@jess_holyfield right there with you! I'm excited to see how or if any changes were made/ how things were improved for the live performances for all of the crews.
Personal opinion - I feel like JR is more captivating since they are showing something new every mission, not sticking for one style entirely. It got me waiting for their next moves. LB showed their strong group color, but it feels like it’s something we’ve seen from them throughout the missions. So JR’s performance stood out more for me for this mission. But regardless of the strategies they chose for this mission, both team slayyy!
This would be my exact viewpoint if I was determining who should make it to the finals! I wish it was more than just the challenges isolated but a combination of all the challenges and how each group approached them!
In Japanese films there’s this idea of ‘ma’ which are simple scenes where the eyes can rest and contemplate between more active scenes. I’m starting to realise more and more through this show how frequently New Zealanders and jam republic utilises this in hip hop dance in general. It’s a risky tool to use when Korean hip hop values density in a set though I’m happy that jam republic is taking that risk and how it’s being received in a Korean setting.
I feel like both crews started off strong especially Lady Bounce with their witty disses and attention to detail was great. Even though JR gave us just Kirsten and Latrice in that first part, it was still amazing and both filled that stage nicely, their choreo was still putting out wow factors. Afro dancing is so not easy to pull off and be in sync with one another but they did really freaking good considering. As always their stage presence is insane. However I feel like LB in that first part just had a little more edge in my opinion. Now for the second parts of both battles, Lady Bounce unfortunately lost me. I really think it would’ve been smarter if they didn’t try and replicate and diss one of JR most cleanest and captivating performances that had amazing footwork, formations and isolation. JR did that song so much justice with their dance. It was one of the most memorable crew performance in the whole show to me. The energy they gave was everything too. Lady Bounce however once again tried using the same tactic and kept sticking to being witty but it just fell flat this particular section to me, cause I feel like they actually needed to match JR energy while still maintaining their wittiness to be able to pull off that diss in a spectacular manner, like they needed to just go harder on the choreo and be cleaner in order to give more of an impact but it just paled in comparison to the way JR did that dance. Lady Bounce somehow ended up just looking messy. They did end on a solid note though. While JR in the second part was captivating, they know how to play to their strength and always add new stuff to grab their audience attention, they execute and mix many styles in a fun manner while their facial expressions are on point. The stage presence of theirs too keeps you on your toes with their choreo, that ending part though was really nice. It looked like they were dolls being pulled by strings with Emma being the puppeteer
I don’t agree about second part at all. JR did worse then LB in their crew performance with that song and that’s why. Have you watched LB’s performance? In order to win the second part of this video you need to be more powerful than your competitors in their crew performance (because they took the same song). JR are clean, yes, but not that creative and VERY repetitive. For example, 12:12 they are doing the same thing FOR TWO EIGHT COUNTS 😭 giiirlll… or here 12:39 they’re just walking for the whole 8 counts. Do you remember what LB did with the same music in their crew performance? They were much more creative and interesting with moves and MUSICALITY. I really recommend you to watch it. Because now your comment looks just biased towards JR.
@@natalie9796 The thing is unlike Lady Bounce, Jam Republic made a whole new routine to that song. On the other hand Lady Bounce reused some of Jam Republics choreo as a tactic to once again do mock/diss play in theirs. However it was messy in some parts. That’s precisely why Jam republic did amazing in the second part, they made a whole new choreo that was clean, the transitions were smooth and yet every member was still hitting their movements with power & precession at the same time. Even their footwork and body control was done nicely. They focused mostly on dance play/storytelling with their facials. That’s what gives a choreographed battle performance routine better impact on the grand scheme of things. You can have creative tactics or quirky diss/mock moments with an added old choreo from someone else in your routine here ( like a skit ) but if your dance moves are slacking or not up to par or if you focus too much on prop work rather then the dance then it becomes either dull or too much. The composition in the dance choreography/routine needs to have a BALANCED structure, that’s all I’m trying to get at and why I didn’t like their 2nd half as much as their first half
@@1313__Shinobi why are continuously talking that JR have original choreography when they don’t? Again, have you seen the LB’s performance video? JR also reuse a lot of LB’s moves for exactly the same purposes. Actually, one of the time stamps that I pointed above is LB’s choreography, but JR did it for 8 eight counts (too long). Actually what threw me is that in your original comment you said, “JR did that song so much justice with their dance” - please watch LB’s choreography for this song again (or for the first time idk). I pointed some of the weakest moments of JR with that song but can find so much more. They are good but not better then LB with that song who show MUSICALITY, technique and very interesting concepts (I’m talking only about performances with the same song)
So Jams first section was a diss to Nob cos she says her main dance style is Afro, but jam was showing was Afro really is. 2nd part with the tutus was dissing Lady Bounces video where they wore them
And to add to your comment the amount of detail jam republic put into it.. the white clothes was a hint on LB colorful esthetic like saying we keep it simple and still have your attention.. And the last part Emma doing the L .. if you see LB made the L while dancing and Emma putting the L on the forehead was just a chef kiss 💋 not only doing reference to LB but calling them losers 😂props to EMMA!!!
For me. Set A mission Lady Bounce and in Set C Jam Republic. We'll wait for who will win in the Set B mission because there is a live audience, the Jam Republic on the critical side, but we know they will win the Match battle. LET'S GO Jammies!!!!
Some of you saying that it's unfair because JR is so Famous in Global Vote but you need to consider that in Knetz or Korean Public Votes they're always on bottom because Korean Public always vote for their fellow koreans so i don't think there's an unfair system here.
It's a super tricky thing to navigate when popular vote s involved, because a lot of times it isn't normally associated with objectivity. (hence why we normally have judges for competitions) I'm super curious about the results of this and we are also unaware of who got the extra bonus points (besides 1 million) with the Hwasa challenge. That can also really shake up the rankings too!!
@johnlloydballa3822 THIS! Jam Republic even get ZERO vote in live audience during their KPOP mission before! and it happened again they say during 1v1 mission with audrey. The 1v1 will be air next week. 3 judges voted for audrey in 1v1 and get ZERO vote from live audience! So yeah global vote is a MUST
@@Kalmabess What on earth are you guys talking about? As a Korean I can tell you Jam is mad popular in Korea, certainly more than LB. There vids from mega mission and hwasa mission trended 1st-2nd places on Korean youtube. Jam lost the audience vote in Kpop mission and, according to spoilers, this battle mission. But they did not receive zero votes! Also from what I heard(I checked multiple Korean communities) they only won 2 of the 3 judge votes so I really don’t know where you are getting this info from, or why you are choosing to believe Koreans are so unfairly cold towards them. They are beloved
@@쿠키-f7d Well results aside, you can't blame them if they think of like that though. Just MOST of you guys are judging subjectively instead of being objective in stuff like this. That's why the efforts of the group are being disregarded because of your preferences and biased judgement towards your korean representatives.
@@xpensivedirt8748 I just told you Jam is super popular in Korea. Out of all the contestants, Kirsten is probably the second most popular one after Bada. Are you saying I’m lying or that the Korean public liking Jam is a subjective judgement? No one ever disregarded Jam. Just what are your grounds for these random accusations? Just that they lost the audience vote twice? Did you really think their opponents did so horribly that this result must be biased? And yes I can blame them for spreading wrong info such as Jam receiving zero vote. It is simply not true. Seriously, where the hell are you guys getting your information from?
Lady Bounce’s performance was my favorite I love the creative energy and the bags truly gagged me, my head eXPLODED!! I love Jam Republic and I hope they win but honestly LB blew me away 😔 ofcourse I’ll keep streaming for Jam Republic to win 😅
But Jam also always have a disadvantage with the Korean public, no matter if they try to do it in the Kpop style, the public just doesn't like their choreographies.
It doesn't even matter considering the weightage of points Live audience: 70 points Judges score: 30 points Global vote: 500 points It is absurd and ridiculous and JR will definitely get the global vote as usual. I feel bad for the lesser known crews.
@@MultiSmiley007 the point values really caught me off guard for this one…. I’m very curious how much things will switch up once the points are all calculated
@@MultiSmiley007It is sad but honestly isn’t it nearing its end? 2 groups are going and they kind of can’t be letting it go on so this is probably the only way to let it go. I remember someone saying though it’s unfair to the lesser known groups, you can’t expect a unknown group to get to the finals.. It would also heavily rely on popularity for you to win against the other well known groups getting nearer to the end.
EFFORTLESS AND SIMPLISTIC often get meshed together when they are both completely different. In order for things to look effortless a full complete understanding of the dance is needed to achieve that. The genre they do isn’t supposed to look robotic and overly clean and boring. It’s simple until you have to replicate it and all of a sudden you look like a whale out of water 😂
I completely agree!!! Hence why I mentioned the beauty of their effortlessness in set 1! I will say that we both know not all people will view it this way, but I’m glad we are able to see more music exploration from JR!
I bet to disagree with some of your observations since Jam Republic did apply elements of dance( levels, transition, tableu, canon, etc ) and composition in their craft. It's not all about how clean the movement is but rather than how they portray it in an expressive way. Furthermore, I would rather say that they critically showed what technical dance is all about. And on the other hand, you were right that they had dull moments like lack of BOOM thing which supposed to add some gimmick factor
I actually agree with you that they had transitions and other elements that you stated! My viewpoint regarding their risk of operating their first set with just two dancers will naturally come at a disadvantage compared to the other group operating at full capacity within those elements, but it doesn’t mean they are excluded or absent in and of themselves! I’m sorry if my feedback read that they were neglecting key elements of their set because they are one of the more consistently strong presenting crews we have seen ever come across the series! I also want to state that how they perform this live will read SO DIFFERENTLYthan the analysis here. I can’t freaking wait!!
@@jess_holyfield my pleasure. It's nice to have a person like you who critically analyzed the videos well and you did absolutely worth to watch for. More power to you!
It's not my fave JR performance of all the ones we've seen so far, but I also give a lot of merit to those taking risks to show more versatility. 😊 It'd be pointless if shows only rewarded crews based on how in unison they are, and how many tricks and props can be forced in. As a viewer, I don't love the all white outfits on a nearly all-white stage, but we have no way of knowing if that was unavoidable (as a woman with curvaceous hips and booty myself I basically gave up trying to find pants that could fit me well in Japan and SK 😅). I hope the crowd were still able to see all the details from their vantage point. We know these TV networks like to go in on the drama to build up hype and anticipation, but I'm curious Jessica what you think of the cliffhanger at the end of the current episode? Esp the comment by Trix that was filmed with the audience there
I actually know that Mnet LOVES creating drama, so regarding Trix’s comment on the episode ending, I feel we are missing KEY context regarding it 😂 I also know he is one of the best battlers to ever Grace the Street fighter stage so his feedback I’m truly excited for! Mnet always gotta start drama you know? 😂😂
I felt like we are all so used to seeing Jam bringing fast paced dynamic Afro choreo which is what Lady Bounce was also expecting thats why some people might have been underwhelmed by Jam's different approach. I personally liked that theu decided to show something different this time with some tricks in there. I did prefer Ladybounce's section A this time because it felt stronger but the C i preferred Jam. I just felt like Ladybounce didnt match the same energy in C compared to A for me so it ended up feeling meh for me towards the end.
Completely understand This and honestly it makes me so excited to see how these routines look when they are facing each other and dissing each other IN PERSON …. Cannot wait 😩
I think Jam Republic planned to give each member screentime . Part A - Kristen and Lactrice duo Part B - Audrey solo battle Part C - Emma and Ling highlighted
Love JR so much but their performance here was kind of underwhelming. I really like the fact that they're exploring different textures and the consistency of their overall flow but at times the composition becomes somewhat bland in certain parts due to lack of movement variety and sticking onto simple and repetitive steps that instead of it being an eye-catching part, it just feels mediocre. Ladybounce on the other hand is popping off. They really have some of the most witty and fun routine which i personally think kinda did better than JR on this mission. The composition of the whole choreo was fun and transitioned really well to each part. Their performance just kept me entertained the whole time while with JR they have some really strong moments in the beginning of each song but it progresses into a less attractive routine gradually i feel like. So props to Ladybounce🎉
Agreed, even as another JR fan I was thoroughly impressed with what LB brought to the table this time, very clean and well thought out... only this time I kinda felt like JR was underestimating what the opponent (this time LB) can do 😅
If kirsten has some crews who can move like her, like RF ? kirsten dances with Ling for a very long time. Unlike Emma and Audrey , they have picked just to complete the crew. We knew that they are good but it does not fit how Kirsten and Ling moves.
Lady Bounce is actually my fav crew side by side with Mannequeen. (Mannequeen is the one that I’m rooting for because I have been a fan of Wackxxxy and Yoonji after I had seen their battles on fusion concept a year ago. 🔥) When I watched Lady Bounce performing their crew song video before ep.1 was aired, I really like their creativity of the choreography and the concept they chose. However, when the show began I was kinda worry about them since I feel like they weren’t really shine enough, but after this video released, I was like, yesssss! This is it. This is the vibe and energy that got me falling for them! It was satisfying.
LB they are dancing as a group for 15 years, maybe that is why they're so in sync with each other ...while JR, they are formed just for this competition... JR have strong global fans... I'm not worried...overall JR deserve a spot in the finals...
everyone on tiktok is too biased to see how great a team lady bounce is espicially on this mission so im glad im hearing someone with a neutral position speak their words with actual dance knowledge and not just a full search history of jam republic 😭😭😭
Don't lose hope! Personally I feel they have a great shot at the extra points from the Hwasa challenge that hasn't been announced yet, as well as the global voting may work in their favor as well! I feel they have a decent shot at Finals based on their track record of the whole season!!
@@jess_holyfieldDidn’t Hwasa choose 1Million’s? I have watched the MV forChilli and Im pretty sure 1M was chosen😭😭we’re in trouble😭and remembering how in the Kpop challenge they didn’t get a single vote from the live audience and it was the judges that saved them😭😭
@@tey5471 you are forgetting that there are still votes for the global voting, views and likes plus the challenge. Its all going to contribute so there is a good chance they will make it to finals
@@tey5471 I believe there is another set of bonus points that will be given out from the Hwasa challenge that they haven’t disclosed yet!! It’s not over until it’s over!
This mission has 3 concept A- is they can choose any song, with any members/number of members, any props (30sec) B-there is also 1v1 (30sec) this is were the live audience matter(70points)+ judges (30points) C- this part is they're gonna perform their opponent's crew song (1min) (5x5)
I will say I WISH we got to see Section C choreo when they did it to each other face to face... There is adrenaline and extra level of aggression that comes with that environment that a camera exclusive run through will not show. SO looking forward to next week!
@@jess_holyfieldit will be shown next week. This is the recording for voting purposes but the live battle will be aired next week which will have no cuts and they have to execute all 3 sections one after another as 1 whole battle performance :)
As someone who dances and has dance in her day to day, I agree that the scoring is interesting. I’m hopeful for a more balanced scoring system moving forward, but we never know with these things 😂
I just felt robbed by only having 2 members of JR basically so i feel pretty disappointed, I would like all of them on stage because i absolutely love watching all of them dance and how unique they are. I watched the Hwasa challenge so many times and each time focused on a different member of the crew and got something fresh out of it but how many times am i going to watch this 2 person stage? Not that much.
I can understand this hence why I stated what I did in the analysis! I’m so happy that people are able to be exposed to Afro and other street styles outside of the ones that are applicable to social media platforms through JR and the show!
When it comes to Jam republic just because they make something look easy doesn’t meant it is. It’s just they are that good! So it looks seamless. You don’t have to look like your straining yourself in order for your dance to have depth. Afro dance is not simple which was wahy more often than not when people who aren’t from that culture try do it, it just doesn’t look right. The Afro footwork Latrice and Kirsten incorporated in the first half was intricate and rapid. Most dancers nowadays are in a hip hop rut. If it doesn’t evoke a hip hop vibe they are familiar with they can’t process it.
I agree! Afro is one of those “implicit” learned styles that I wish I grew up being exposed to on a more first hand basis! I feel that I would be able to physically empathize with more syncopation choices and rhythmic executions by having that experience and knowledge! Afro is so tricky to do well and they really know how to bring an authentic pocket to the style!
True. Also love how in the K-pop mission they stayed away from Afro and still delivered. They honed in on the synchronicity that’s so beloved in K-pop and still delivered, Similarly Latrice Click Like routine wasn’t Afro and it was fun and dope. Again other dancers on the show said it easy but when dancing side by side with her they couldn’t keep up. JR are not a one trick pony
Lady bounce really brought there A game! They had really nice energy and choreo. I always become bored with their other choreo but this one was good. I got bored in some section but not as much. They had lots of highlights but the second part had lots of messy parts. I love Jam republic and their performance is always so good! Its so exciting to see what they do next. Its never boring but for me this performance had too many floor choreo. A bit too much. Overall very nice and i found it a bit better than LB. Maybe because i expected more from JR or that they did really good on the last challenge so i just wanted more from them.
Because this is a battle performance, lady bounce give more spice by adding jokes like that sike and jam with bread thing.. , the dance and choreo also so neat, and why they having fun in the end is a bit lacking, bcuz later there will be public watching thats why they having fun with public as their choreo therefore i would prefer LB than jr in this competition
❤ I love JAM REPUBLIC the way dancing, I love the way expression I love the new choreo.. I love all of them team work... Fighting 💪💪💪 JAM...army is always support in ur team❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕
LB started so strong, but frankly like their previous performances, they have a momentum issue. After the first 25sec (which is arguably the most lit out any of the performances) It dwindled then stalled when they lifted Capri up and they never got it back. If LB fixed their momentum issue they could easily be contenders for the number 1. They need intense study of flow and momentum. They have everything else imo. They style, skill, and ideas. Now they just need to flow them together properly without losing momentum. I have nothing to say about JR, except some minor syncing issues at the beginning with their hip movements, I can't find much to critique. This one and their last Hwasa performance got me having very little to say negatively. 1mil, Bebe, and JR are the only crews that pretty much had flawless performances.
Thank you for this analysis, I really appreciate professional opinion of every perfomance in SWF 2 - Now, while I am a Jammies - I still think this one should go to LB - they were consistance in their performance, it was funny and cheeky and really energetic throughout the performance. the teamwork is amazing and I feel like they have been more and more impactful as the show advanced - they were more hungry and it shows (if it make sense). I am not worried for Jam, If i give this one to LB, I know after watching other perf, they are doing stuff no other teams are doing with very different pace, choice and risk taking and it's why they are popular.
To me this show is all about dancing if I were to go with Dancing it would be Jam Republic and Creativy for Ladybounce sadly most people are interested then props rather than dancing so probably why a lot of people are disappointed in Jam republic and for me yes props are cool make dancing look better but if were talking about dancing RF mostly never use props just there Dancing and expression I feel bad for jam republic seeing that they don't have no props like Ladybounce that why Ladybounce dance look better to most viewers eyes.
For me Lady Bounce won this one. They showed more dynamics and variations in their battle performance. In a battle performance, a crew should focus more on showing their techniques. Musicality, variations etc. This is what lacks for Jam republic for me, they have a lot of 8 counts in their second performance which I think you should avoid since its a battle. Jam republics dance was good but I think the stage presence of the members carried the dance which made it effective but looking at it objectively, it is a weaker choreo compared to LadyBounce. It’s unfortunate for LadyBounce since global votes have a lot of points and obviously Jam republic will win again. I kinda hate this format where the popular crew always wins since it invalidates the effort and skills of the less popular good crews
It's such a toss up with the weight of points this season. On one hand, I feel that it's good to allow the public to truly be an influence on the show, because they are one of the biggest contributors to the show's success (and will help us keep getting more seasons!) but when crews don't have the same pull of influence, it gets harder and harder as the season goes on when popularity is working against you when you are against tough opponents. I will have to give it up to Lady Bounce with their rounds on this and they came to FIGHT! Can't wait to see how this all unfolds next week!
for real it’s so sad that lady bounce put so much effort on it and they’re not gonna win because of the views :( sadly this season is STREAM woman fighter
The distribution and weight of the points really caught me off guard with this challenge. I will say LB brought one of the BEST performances I have ever seen them do personally and I can’t wait to see them do this as the live version!
I think Ladybounce win because of the performance, but I'm so used to their performance style, I usually skip through them. I prefer Jam, I don't think they win this one, but I liked it way better than Ladybounce (personal preference, LB are amazing too)
Imma JamRe fan but seeing the context of the mission, which is "battle challenge", I guess JamRe is not really fighting against LadyBounce but showcasing why LadyBounce needs to show off their best. I'm afraid that the judge will choose LadyBounce. I will also choose LadyBounce, again, bc of the theme, the mission itself. They are more in fighting mode against JamRe head to head. Besides, JamRe always use Afro dance in battles due to its complexities but some of the judges, plus the asian vibe and culture, definitely, they'll look more om the stiffness, the angst on the choreo and such, and it's cleanliness. It boils down on the preferences of the judges. Besides, global votes are safe to JamRe. Maybe that's the other factor why they battle with Afro dance, strategically wise. I'm really thrilleeeeeeed!I'm looking forward for JamRe to fight with different style this time, with more of korean dance vibe on battles.
I feel JR’s choice of wardrobe could’ve done much better that that. 1. I think it’s a bad idea to wear fully white on a white floor. Especially for part A, as they did a lot of floor routines, I worry that it would be hard for the live audience under the ring to fully catch all their moves. 2. As a Korean, the pink skirt just reminds me of what kids wear on preschool talent shows. ( And I have seen several Korean comments also mentioning this.) So it had me wonder whether they had a hard time to get the outfit ready for this performance and just bought off something last minute…
The color was strategic actually. Ladybounce is always colorful with their outfits. They are stating that even without colors they can still catch your attention.
Also the tutus is due to ladybounces video. They had to use LBs crew performance song and in that video they wore tutus. Basically calling them children and silly
@@Payurain22 I am aware if LB’s crew mission outfit. But not that among the many things they can choose alternative to a skirt. It rather makes them look silly for wearing it. For me, both seem to work as a bad strategy.
Interested points made here. I have noticed that JR wardrobe has been different compared to other crews but I don’t know enough of the back end info to really know the full context of costuming and wardrobe with the crews. I will say, every challenge JR has a level of energy that can be super captivating so I’m REALLY looking forward to their live version of their battle! It’s going to be WILD
Thanks for asking! I am pretty familiar with JR style and training background because I have studied a few of them during their time on the HHI circuit with RF! I’m always glad to discuss further if there were any factors of my analysis that may have come across that I wasn’t familiar with JR overall aesthetic, cultural background, or genre preference!
People are often lazy when it comes to assessing JR (not saying you did that) due to their Afro moves. Apart from the fluidity required for hip movements they also incorporated intricate and rapid footwork. In the second section there was tumbling, a boy boy technique (Latrice), breaking and groundwork. At the core of this show it’s a dance competition. The props etc are cute but love that they just hone in on dancing.
I will say that the BEST thing that has come out of JR being in the show is the showcasing of Afro and other complimentary styles outside of what is normally seen on this series!! Mad proud of them for how far they’ve come!
Truth be told, I am so bored watching LB dances cause I have been watching Korean crews and they seem like LB. Pinoy crews dances like that too and got used to it. Even their tricks are not new to me. They move so neatly but it did not moved me. :(
Can totally see this! I will say this set they brought really elevated the crew and showcased them at their best during this challenge! It was strong none the less!
@@desireolugbenga3043 koreans love to use props :D Even during in Kingdom on their Rap Unit. iKON ,SF9 and The Boyz performed with Rap only while the other team has sooo many props hahaha But twas a Rap uniiit. Poor them they did not win, cause they prefered those who have props.
@@desireolugbenga3043 nonetheless, their song became popular and performed it in any plotforms. :D even though they did not win, the song got popular. Just like in SWF2, Jan Republic may not win, but still they are popular. Since episode 1 they show their rawness and swag, I will diffinitely play my role to put them on the finals. Hahahaha
Correct! That was part of the challenge which was to “diss” your opponent and so they utilized different aspects of what JR has done throughout the competition!
I can understand this with some of the syncing of the Choreo near the beginning, and I think that out of all the crews, they were the only crew that could have more than one person take on this style and syncopate it the way they did. Out of the performances with JR, my favorite Choreo they have with Afro influence would honestly be their section 3 of megacrew, (now I have a whole video load of thoughts with that set as a whole, but the sections separated really carried different energies and they handles those styles WELL) I really hope we are able to see good angles of the filming they did when they performed live…. All crews are going to go WILD 🔥🔥
I think they planned to take part seperately . Section A - Kirsten and Lactrice Section B - Audrey battle ( according to spoiler ) Section C - Emma and Ling highlights
MNET's voting process is rigged. From the on start, they know who they want to wind. When I watched Kingdom Legendary War a couple of years ago and how Mnet changed rules and budgets but didn't tell some of the other performers. Or how they picked certain groups to perform together --it was strategic. Hwasa picking the winner and the winner she chose just happened to be the group that choreographed for her on several occasions and a member who happens to be her friend. Was anybody really surprised who won? Now this competition, they matched certain groups against each other. It should have been a blind selection. Voting is rigged. Also, in the past, global vote didn't count for much. Koreans are not going to let a foreigner win a contest in their country.
The point distribution and weight value have really caught me off guard this challenge. Because I recently reviewed SMF and saw the point system they used, the huge growth of points awarded really makes me curious how results will play our. I’m hopeful that the groups who have been the most consistent and held their own the best make it to the finals, but no matter what the important thing is all the girls from SWF2 have been giving us their BEST! Can’t wait for next week🤩
Я не из Америки и я не из Кореи, сужу чисто по танцам! На сей раз LB реально выиграли этот батл, сужу как танцор. У JR было настолько скучное выступление, что я даже не смогла досмотреть до конца ((( это было их самое ужасное выступление за весь сезон и справились они очень плохо.
I’m pretty familiar with the overall genre and pocket Afro explores through its tonal color and Timbre, but it’s itemized vocabulary is still not 100% within my fluency at this time! My goal is to double check the specific techniques JR utilizes most effectively within their sets prior to the next performances so I can better explain the musicality and syncopation in real time. Was their something I said specifically that made this assumption?
