Harlow!! Its been some time since I posted something...really sorry...haha...been busy with school. Anyway, just to correct rebecca...I din really think that SFB is the best lah...But I seriously thought they are the one of the better ones that nite.

To be honest, the four groups that I really like that nite will be F4, Platinum, SFB and Soul Fusion. The first half of the dance is okay...it is the second half of the competition that saves the nite, especially with F4 kick starting the whole thing and hype up the audience.

I like how Ewan impersonalized the geeky role from the start till the judges give their comments. I think it is really funny. Dancing involves acting and what they convinced the audience in believing and enjoying what you are doing. Really proud of them...as they stepped up and brought their performance to another notch as compared to last week. They are one group which I believe will be able to emerge as the top 5 not only because their excellence dance ability but also their strong stage presence...which I always feel is important. When I tok abot stage presence...I am not referring to whether they are good looking (well, I think they are actually...haha), but most importantly, it is how you carry yourself and the x-factor that you oozes when you dance. Keep up the good work my dear friends! ~lolx

Platinum is definitely one of the consistent competitors in this competition. Their dance performances are always of a certain standard and never fail to disappoint the audience. Well..what can I say..they are a bunch of 'power' gals!!! I think from this rock n roll item, they not only show that they are able to dance, but they are able to do what guys can do-stunts. I was really impressed with that. Haha...initially I thought only Marianne is the only one who can do so...guess I am wrong...cos most of them can...

SFB...haha...their performances neva fail to disappoint me each time. Although they might not be technically the strongest dancers in this competition, they make up with their creativity and their clever interpretation of the music. Their performances are always refreshing and I am impressed with how they choreograph their moves to the slightest beats. Well...I foresee that it is gonna be tough for them in the competition. Not because their dance is no good, but I think they lack a bit of 'stage presence' which probably explains why they are in the bottom three.
They have to think of ways to make the audience like them and ultimately vote for them...

Last but not least, soul fusion...what can I say??? Haha...they are definitely the strongest in this competition. In fact they are the potential winner in this competition. I cannot find any fault or flaw in them at all...lolx. Each round they performed, they surprised me...Initially during the shuffle round performance, I thought they are just technically strong. But after their disco showcase, I was totally amazed by what they performed. They did locking...which is O-school hip hop. Think if there is a hip hop performance round, it is definitely gonna be nothing to them!!! I am also impressed by their knowledge in dance when they mentioned about the history of locking and popping dyring the disco round. This is important because dancing is not merely about execution but also understanding how the dance evolves. This will help in the execution of moves. Then next will be their creativity. I never expect them to be so funny...haha...their disco and rock n roll items brought joy and entertainment to the audience. They have hence proven themselves that they are not only technically good, but also as creative and funny as their fellow competitors. SOOOO....there is no reason in where they are in the bottom three...

Or maybe there is....because this is after all a dance competition...not some singing or talent time competition whereby you will have hardcore fans who will keep voting for ya. Not to mention that the voting period lasts one whole week. Come on, dun talk about yr fans, even yr close friends and family members will not keep voting throughout the whole week. Even if they really do, I think you will feel paiseh and heart pain to see them spend money like that rite. Remember when I was still in the competition, I din dare to ask my friends and family members to vote for us, because each call is not cheap and if we din get in, their money will be wasted and we will feel bad that we disappoint them. So somehow we always have a 'leave it to fate' mentality and hope for the best....


Anyway it is good to have such competitions in Singapore to promote the dance scene in here. But I thought the system shuld change so that everyone have the ability to vote for the team they support and not based on one's financial ability so as make this competition fairer. It should not be used as a revenue to earn money. Otherwise, this competition will be dependent on who have more friends and fans that are more willing to spend money on you and not people who really like the group. Nevertheless, all the best to the teams out there k!!!

Hmm...for those that I have not mentioned anything..it is not that they are no good...but they have to work harder to stay in the competition. There is no point in me saying politically correct things here like 'everyone is so good' or 'all of them are my favorites'. Because if I do so, I am just being a hypocrite, and not helping them but making them worse. As a dancer, I think we must be able to accept criticism and if we keep indulging in your own 'world', there is no way we can improve.

Remembered on wednesday when I saw Melvin and Sharon at adam road eating, they asked us how is their item. I hesitated a while before I reply. I dun know if I should say the truth. Theirs is not no good because it lacks of flavor and not so interesting as compared to others. They are definitely much stronger in doing a slow item. Well, I eventually told how I really feel cos I do hope they will go far in this competition. Actually...we cannot really blame them because this competition itself is not fair already.

Have you ever wondered why they restrict the group members to be from 2-6? It is probably because they wanna people doing different genres of dance to enter the competition which obviously include dancers doing dance sport because it involves only 2 persons. This put duos, irregardless doing hip-hop, ballroom etc, into a great disadvantage because compared to a bigger group, they definitely lose out in terms of energy level, variation in formation and using of stage space which will affect their dance performances. So the beginning stage of the performance round, groups naturally fare better than the duos. However, this situation will change when we progress into the 'contemporary' and especially the 'ballroom' round. The greater number of members you have, it will be more difficult for ya to execute the dance.

Well, thats all from me...haha...Rebecca always complain about me that I do not know how to blog...my style of writing is boring etc, thats why hardly people comment. Yup, I do agree...lolx...come on..give mi some time lah, I am still new to blogging and I am not so good in writing and present myself..haha. I am doing all these for people who like R.E., and appreciates us. I do not want to be someone whom just fades off after exiting from the competition. We have to think of people who like us and wanna see more of us rite *hehe..that is if there is still people who like us lah! =)

Hence we will constantly give update about ourselves through this blog, and hope our fans continue to support us! Love you all!!! Every single msg means a lot to us...muacks =)



love,
El from R.E
