There’s something about season 7, it just doesn’t feel like the tns. It feels really childish, a vibe which I didn’t get from season 1-3 and even season 6. It’s really disappointing, especially after season 6 where tns was getting really good again. I also liked that there was character development of people like richelle and ozzy but season 7 just seems to chuck all of this development away. And where are the dances? And the dancers??
It is disappointing because ozzy was my favorite character and had one of the best character development in season 6 but that just all got thrown out for this alwful thing with richell.I just hope he gets better and be friend with heath. The best thing would be a trio with ozzy heath and izzy
@@danieln2102 i know what you mean it's kind of like "huh?...what does that have to do with anything like...that has nothing to do with their personality...why are their descriptions their relationship"
Season 1: We vibing Season 2: Add some new dancers so new flavours Season 3: You know, some go some join SEASON 4: *thanos snap* half of the team gets yeeted out, new dancers are mediocre except richelle and amy Season 5: There was no competition this season and there was only 20 episodes? Season 6: The last time a dancer is still here from the holy trinity of seasons one through three: noah. Season 7: wait this show is still called tns?
Video suggestion- you could pick your own a-troupe if u were a studio head. Pick from all the dancers that have been on the next step band choose based on their dance strength and personalities. Love ur vids lately x
Video suggestion: talking about your favourite character storylines and character development. You can talk about what you would’ve wanted to happen for the character and what you wouldn’t have wanted happening. This is just a suggestion not sure if it has been done yet 💓
I laughed so hard when you mocked the s7 talking heads😂 it really annoys me too Edit: I also agree with all your rankings like I see a lot of parallels between s1 and s6
I’m really not a latroy fan. He could only do street dance and he couldn’t do anything else, and even his street wasn’t super impressive. There were so many stronger dancers that season who didn’t get in, and I think they should have instead of latroy. There are some other dancers with the same situation (west, Sloan etc.) but they did still have some technical ability, while latroy didn’t have any
Wait, if the next step won't send B-troupe to the national competition, absolut will take acronation? Then they will need Amy, and if she won't come back then it will move to Ankor - Miss Angela's studio? And then Lily will join them ?? (I think it makes no sense if they skip this information)
@@E3g4 Yeah me too. I didn't mind the Regionals loss at the end, as it wouldn't be good if they won everything all the time, but the season could have at least had nice storylines and well-developed characters. The Bangers and Mashups plot was inserted just because they had no faith in the new characters and instead decided to heavily rely on the old ones. And don't even get me started on the romance. There was too much romance for the new characters and not enough dance. And don't even get me started on the James-Riley-Alfie love triangle. This just decimated the character of Riley, who used to be level-headed, kind and understanding. In Season 4, she became cringy with how she always relied on someone else to help her. Kissing, Alfie, who was her student, when she had a boyfriend was ludicrous, even for Season 4 Riley. However, I don't blame Brittany Raymond (her actress) for this, I think it's just the way they chose to write her in Season 4. By the way, the writing has been all over the place on the show.
As ever, I agree with pretty much everything - I initially hoped Season 2 would be higher but that was more or less based entirely on their chemistry in the later episodes, so I think I’m OK with where they are - and everything else makes perfect sense 😄 I completely agree with Season 6 being at the top, but I just wanted to say that I thought everyone’s chemistry was really great at the start of Season 7 - very specifically in The Comeback Kid, there was this moment I had when I really just felt like the whole ‘family’ thing was an accurate way to describe them again, in a way I don’t think it has been since before S3. They like to toss that word around a lot in reference to all the A-Troupes, and I felt it in S1 and S2, and not so much from then on - but S7’s just had these moments for me, where I’ve got this strong feeling of ‘yep, they’re a family again’. Even with Lily there and Noah and Jacquie gone, it just felt like they were the most connected they’ve been in a long time - and The Comeback Kid’s literally become of my favourite ever episodes as a result. It’s all got a little rocky since then, which isn’t ideal - but if I thought they connected that well onscreen once before this season, I can see it happening again - so fingers crossed :) ... oh, and I have nothing to say in regards to the captions. There’s nothing to justify there. I don’t know who’s in charge of those things, but I’d really like a word with them.... And access to their editing software...
Omg, the beginning and the S7 Talking Heads scenes you put in were so funny they made my day!! Btw, it is actually "You win some, you lose some". I fully agree with your ranking and wouldn't change a thing. Here is my ranking of the A-Troupes, from worst to best. Worst - Season 4 In Season 4, I don't feel like the characters had that much chemistry. They just had broken-up groups of friendships, like the 0% Club and Latroy and Sloane. Their dancing was great but some of the dancers, like Latroy and Sloane, weren't as versatile. 6th Place - Season 5 This A-Troupe was better than Season 5, and you could tell that they were pretty connected, otherwise, they wouldn't have survived the merge. But I don't feel like they were as much of a family as some of the other A-Troupes. The dancing was great this season. Almost every dancer impressed me, but some of the dancers, such as Josh, Ozzy and Kingston, lacked a bit of versatility. 5th Place - Season 7 There was so much drama this season that I really don't think the chemistry is that great. There has been so much fighting this season that I literally can't count how many friendships and relationships have been ruined. However, the dancing is really great this season and I feel like everyone has a lot of versatility and they're all at the same level. 4th Place - Season 1 The dancers had a lot of chemistry this season and you could tell everyone belonged. Sure, in the beginning, Emily was threatening to kick Michelle out and stuff, but after that had been worked out, they were a family. They worked to help get Chloe back and they didn't want to lose anyone. West even said that if you took out anyone, it wouldn't work. The dancing was pretty great but there were a few weaker dancers, such as Emily, Stephanie and Tiffany. But everyone was striving to learn new styles and overall, this A-Troupe was pretty great. 3rd Place - Season 2 This A-Troupe really was a family and you could tell from their semifinal Nationals dance that they all belonged. However, I agree that bringing in Thalia, Hunter and Amanda pulled back the chemistry a bit, but not majorly. All the dancers were pretty great but some of them were weaker, like Emily and Hunter, no offence to them. Everyone was pretty versatile and did lots of new styles. It was definitely better than Season 4. 2nd Place - Season 3 This A-Troupe was so strong and you could tell everyone had matured and they were such a family. Everyone's dancing improved so much, however, I think bringing in Cierra and Max pulled back the chemistry a bit, just like in Season 2. You could see some people doing new styles and new friendships forming, so yeah, overall, this season was pretty great. 1st Place - Season 6 This A-Troupe was just amazing and they were all connected. All the dancers cared about each other, no one was left out and you could see this on stage during their dances. Just like some of the other seasons, you could see people doing styles they normally wouldn't do. The dancing was amazing this season and everyone improved their versatility. Richelle and Noah did a ballet dance, Richelle learned to use her emotion, the girls did a hip hop dance, Ozzy improved his dancing . . . The list goes on and on. That's my ranking of the A-Troupes. Remember that it's just my opinion and if you disagree, that's fine but please don't hate on me. Btw Alishea, I'm so excited to see your blue hair in hopefully your next video! See you on Wednesday 💖💖
Paskalis Glabadanidis Is season 7 in your country? My country doesn’t have S7 but TNS says there gonna put it on tv some point this year so I’m currently watching it by youtube
One of the problems that season 3 had with chemistry was that most of the team neglected Noah. I felt like Cierra and James were the only ones that paid attention to him.
Season 4 felt like all the dancers had separate drama and separate storylines. They never had any stand out moments that showed they were a true connecting family
-react to my perfect landing -Q&A -expand lulus story line -ranking the dancers clothes -Q&A and a get ready with me -workout or stretch with me -recreating the next step hairstyles -edit with me -being ________ from tns for 24 hours -ranking tns makeup -ranking the behind the seances videos Which ones do you like and which ones do you dislike
Video Suggestion: Can you do ranking tns hairstyles like for characters on multiple seasons ranking their hairstyles in talking heads like Riley’s bob compared to long hair and Piper’s straight hair etc.
6:01 That soundtrack always cracks me up😂! I agree with your opinions, especially for Season 2 where you said Emily wasn't as strong. I've never really seen her as an amazing dancer or a strong one either (no offense Alexandra). I think it would be cool if you did one of these as videos: ●Ranking dance battles (I'm not sure if there are enough to make a video on this though) ●Listing the saddest moments (I cried when Chloe left because of money isssues in s1) ●Or just listing your favourite moments. If you read this Alishea, thank you and have a great week!
I don’t think Stephanie had the same level of dancing as the other dancers in season 3 that is the only thing I didn’t agree. The video was really good and totally agree in season 6 being in first place ❤️
Ok the talking heads that made me want to face palm was Amy with lyrical, Piper with jazz, and Summer with funk. LIKE WHEN HAVE THEY DONE ANY OF THOSE DANCE STYLES! DID I MISS AN EPISODE OR SOMETHING. DO THESE DANCERS DO THESE DANCE STYLES IN THE BACK ALLEYS AWAY FROM THE CAMERAS!
For me this was a really great commentary and seems to tell the the story of TNS on two eras; First off, if you look at seasons 1-3 you see a close knit community group faced with an outsider (Michelle obvs!) who becomes slowly one of them, that leads to more and more joining was once watertight. As a consequence, the family aspect gets jettisoned, dramas increase and because, not in spite of, the shared difficulties there is then a massive increase in talent. Secondly, in my opinion after season 3 the production team lost steam and faith in their show and characters - this led to fallings out and cheatings that weren't plausible (Jiley for example) or even necessary to ramp up insider tensions as this lot had already acheived all they could and it's only by Season 6 that the return of we're all in this togetherness returns with the apex of the Emily-Michelle friendship which is truly the glue that held these guys together so again their talent and interactions feel the norm and not to suit the plot of the week. In season 7 its back to dramas again as the focus for the show is beginning to wane again and I hope can be won back in 7B.
I think it's cause we still saw her and they rehearsed in studio for most of the season, if she'd properly left and we didn't see her, it would've had a different effect
I agree 99% with this video The only thing I would change is I'd put an extra mark on season 3's chemistry for Noah. He got moved up from J-troupe to A-troupe and although overseen at first, the scenes with Noah and Eldon's duet/battle, the blindfolded dance at Internationals and his duet with Cierra progressed his chemistry with A-troupe and fitting in. I especially thought the Noah and Eldon scenes were amazing as that's the start if the best dancer on A-troupe passing down his legacy to someone on basically the same level as him which progressed the story in later seasons such as Noah getting dance captain in season 5, him getting picked for qualifiers in season 4, him literally being a part of every dance at regionals in season 6 etc and it gave him a storyline til the very end when they've shown that he's outgrown TNS. But that's just my personal opinion.
This video was hilarious and amazing and a video idea is a talking heads evolution so talking heads through the seasons and who had the best talking heads looks Or Ranking charecter pictures that are on the wiki
I would rank Season 5 lower because there were 2 Next steps, and they were rivals. They had a dance battle and Tns East won. After, Kingston and Ozzy discovered that Elliot was a professional dancer and that he shouldn't be joining a dance troupe. Then, Tns West believed that they won because Elliot got kicked out the studio and that since he was on the dance their win didn't count. After them fighting about which team should go to Reigonals, Miss Kate said that no team will be going to Reigonals. Then, Amy and Piper decided to merge Tns West and East. They created a dance to show that they can actual work together. Which is really pointless because they didn't go to Reigonals that season, so all the work they've done just went in the drain. Season 5 was pointless to me overall..
Yes totally agree with all your rankings especially Season 6! I honestly have the exact same feeling when it comes to Season 7 because it just feels very different to past Seasons and I can see that the writers are starting to lose ideas and Honestly I hate to say this but I can see The Next Step coming to an end after Season 7 or Maybe Season 8.
I got my best friend to watch The Next Step for the first time during quarantine... And she tells me she ships Ralfie. I virtually slapped her through the phone 😂😂😂😂
@@mockingariana3 Hello do you sometimes just reminisce around your channel and watch some of your old vid' s and just see how you grow or is it cringey for you to watch yourself? me I tend to see my vid's a bunch and how i get a lot of compliments you know? just see them once more or some sort?
I've watched the whole of tns avidly (all seasons) but after the first episode of season 7 I stopped. I don't know why but I didn't want to watch more. Even though I had also felt seasons like season 5 started a bit weird (like everything changed and all the characters left) I still wanted to watch on and ended up enjoying it but season 7 just isn't like that (even though not that much changed from season 6) Edit: seasons 1-3 are classics which I can watch again and again (season 3 might be my fave tho) season 4 I really really enjoyed in a weird way, it was different to the other seasons but unlike you I loved it. season 5 started weird (as I said) but ended up being quite good even tho it felt different to the other seasons. season 6 was really good and I enjoyed it but the season 7 I just can't, I really don't know why but I feel no desire to watch on (but I watched the whole off season and really liked it)
that's sad! maybe give it another go now that the whole of the first half of the season is out. I totally get what you mean though, its not been my fave at all
In season 7 they aren't growing up because they going for now a younger generation of kids instead of the people who have been with it from season 1 which is stupid it needs to be more mature I have stopped watching the new season as is so stupid and childish
I mean quite a few of the actors are from CDC including Richelle, Noah and Presley. It’s the studio of the actor playing Lucian. Elite and TNS are both fictional.
Wait.. did Emily not get back together with/apologise to Hunter after breaking up with him? If so, it slipped by me. It doesn't make sense that she wouldn't patch things up with him since they got along so well...
I really do respect your decisions but I dont think s6 should have a 10/10 chemistry level because we have the whole sesson kenzie was talking about having no close friends and also kingston and pipet barely spoke
Season 4 brought out the worst in a lot characters Michelle milking her seniority and being rude, Riley kissing Alfie etc. but I will say season 4 piper is my favorite Piper the zero % club was a great idea
You should do who's the best dancers from each season video I would love that Like if you agree My list is Season 1- Eldon Season 2-Amanda Season 3- Eldon Season 4-Noah Season 5- Rochelle Season 6- noah Season 7- summer
How about u do a dance a troupe report card for this season (season 7) so u rank Each dancer on five things Technique: Versatility: Skill in their genre of dance: Tumbling/athleticism/Acrobatics: Overall Value to team: Plz like for mockingariana to see
I have a suggestion for a video!! Would you be able to rate your favourite and/or least favourite songs from each season? Like for example, my favourite of Season 3 is Hotel.
I’m sorry, but I disagree with you about #1 because without the boys there, it doesn’t feel the same. There was a weird chemistry in season 6. Overall season 3 should have gotten #1.
I absolutely agree with the howl season 4 thing!! It was a bad season. Like every episode was all about Riley, James and Alfie! Like seriously I don’t know what the writers were thinking!🤦♀️
Can we just discuss how Jake should have gotten into A-Troupe already from season one. And that he kept auditioning until season four (I think) , and still didn't get in even though he was better than a lot of the dancers that got in to A-Troupe.
Why has someone taken the time to dislike this video, first up this videos great, second if you didn’t enjoy it don’t watch it don’t take the time to dislike it or say something negative about it!
(Mild Spoilers below) Honestly, Seasons 1-3 were the best. Season 4 was just a ???? (like seriously wtf happened in Season 4) Season 5 was decent, although the East West divide was a lot, but when TNS East and West joined together it got so much better. Season 6 is definitely on par with Seasons 1-3. There was characted development, the troupe meshed like a family, and Emily and Michelle were reunited as co-studio heads after the taking down of a bully studio head. Season 7 started off strong, and the off season in between was nice, but it's going on track to be another Season 4. I haven't watched the whole season as it's not all available in Australia yet, but I hope it gets better from here (also there has to be more Richelle!!! She is criminally underused)
Season 2 was the absolute best in my opinion, I loved how the boy band had a new friend which was hunter and they all got along well it also really showed the rivalry between elite and tns
You could do ranking how the original characters look in there talking heads through the years or just ranking the whole seasons’ talking heads based on different factors. Btw I love your vids.
I love seasson six. My first favourtive is season 6, my second favourtive is season 5, my third favourtive is season 7, my four favourtive is season 4, my five favourtive is season 1, my six favourtive is season 3 and my seven favourtive is season 2. I really like season 6.
season seven has really disappointed me ngl because there’s hardly ever all of the dancers together like where are they half the time? and the vibe is just thrown off it feels different and it just feels like the show is being dragged out at this point and they could have just finished on season six which was a high and tns got better again
season 1 was probably the only time it felt like an actual family to me, S 2 came together at the end but the team was too divided most of the time, season 3 the troupe changed way too many times so you couldn't get used to it, S 4 there was way to many new people to be introduced to, it wouldn't be so bad if they focused more on the team being a team and a family instead of annoying rivalry, flat chemistry and comedy and just messing too much with Jiley, seriously couldn't riley have at least grown up a bit after the first qualifier, she seemed way too inexperienced, and also alfie could have been a really likable character if he fell in love with literally anyone else, anyone !
it is kind of true now that I think about it with Emily getting weaker as a dancer in s2, cause I swear if she didn't have that injury at the end of s2 leading to s3 she would have lose to either of the elite or next step dancers in the competition to be on the internationals team
Your videos are so good. You are so positive and I love it. I always agree with you video and I love how you give your honest opinion in everything. Can you do a makeup video, I don’t know if you do a full face or just the eyes but you always pick amazing. How long does it take to edit and find all the clips. Also what do you use for editing. And I think I speech for everyone when I say thankyou for releasing amazing content TWICE a week. It is amazing :)
Season 7 is definitely different from previous seasons, with Dancemania and all. There're too many characters in this season as well since B Troupe is placed at the forefront, two-thirds into the season. For me, it lacks structure. Nick is the saving grace of this season because he's just such a sweetheart
