Dance Floor Performance Round 3: Asian Pop


I finished work at 4 pm (starting off wif a very crazy order at the start of my shift), then i went to Ang Mo Kio Hub to 'recce' around... then had early dinner there, before taking Bus 165 to Mediacorp... was surprised to see Kendrick at the reseption area, and soon after, I was even more surprised to see Felicia!! :-O As in THE REAL Felicia... not the lookalike I saw on my way to Suntec on Sunday. Dont believe me? See the pic of me 'acting cute' wif the naturally cute (and very pretty) Felicia... :-)

Some of the teams from the Dance Floor came out as well (Batucadas, Styles From Beyond, J.D.I and E Squared)... and Haphiz was happy to see that Fel was at the same place as them... cool hairdyes btw, SFB guys!! And Azura, you're looking really cute and pretty wif those pigtails!! :-)

Soon after, I met Zaki, Darham, Ayu and Izzati at the carpark leading to the theater... they were also headed to root for Haphiz in this show :-)
It was rather shocking to know that Soul Fusion ended up at the bottom yet AGAIN... Batucadas and Fantastic Four also. The irony is, all Bottom 4 are quartet groups. In the end, it was the sexy + hot Batucadas whose Dance Floor journey came to an end. Man, the two hottest babes Connie and Rosanne are gone. And E Squared are still safe?!? >:-(
Anyway, as always, the show must go on no matter what, and here are my thoughts on the Final 8 teams tackling with Asian Dance... I would say only a handful of them stayed true to the tradition.

1. Soul Fusion- Great contemporary work on Arabic dance, but the ending seemed a little weak. Bill still wasnt too happy by the fact that SF ended up at the bottom 3 yet again, and decided to 'break the fourth wall' by telling the TV viewers to vote wisely. Lol, there was an albinom gorilla present in the crowd!! What next, a Michael Jackson mascot??? HEEHEE!!

2. E squared- their take on Indian dance was hilarious, and not even serious or earnest at all!! They may seem natural alright, but the fact that they haf their rich friends rooting for them is already starting to put many fans off. My advice to u? STICK TO YOUR BOOKS.

3. Melvin and Sharon - their take on Arabic dance was an earnest one, but chereography seems to be missing... the long thread of cloth tied around the waists of Melvin and Sharon seemed to be limiting their movements.

4. Platinum - Nice execution, great interpretation of change in music tempo for Chinese dance.

5. Fantastic Four - Good rhythm, great usage of props for Japanese dance. A strong comeback for their near-elimination earlier on.

6. JDI - Started a bit odd, but ended strongly. The four looked dashing like modern-day Sith Lords in red-and-black Japanese combat attire. Some of their fans seemed to getting way too rowdy though.

7.Batucadas- ELIMINATED!! The hotties were planning to do some Indian dance btw... something that could be more worth watching than E Squared's rubbish take.

8.Vas and Pris- A bit out of their league wif a Western interpretation of Chinese dance, but good try (esp wif Jay Chou's song in the background). Li Lin and Bill dont seem to like it, but who cares!! Vasily is looking more shuai, and Priscilla is definitely getting fatter...?

9. Styles From Beyond - Emulating Japanese dance, the group's creativity in music and uniqueness in dance truly shone here!! And Azura is looking prettier each week!! Bill was so hilarious... he proclaimed SFB his 'second set of homies'!! :-D
