2018 NHK Free Dance

[Colonel Green]

Woo, Misato and Tim not last!

Alright, Baby Russians, this can hardly go worse than last time, right?

 

[ancientpeas]

You're the greatest, ancientpeas.

Like in the Sia song? or like Mohammad Ali? Cause I'd love to be 1/10th as confident as Ali was.

Anastasia's hair is super impressive, especially since she probably did it herself.

 

[ancientpeas]

I am seriously envious of Anastascia's braids. I want hair like that. I had to cut mine off because it was driving me crazy.

BTW.. I do not understand this version of Bad. It's pretty bad.

 

[SnowWhite]

That straight line lift seemed very deliberate (not in a good way)

 

[Weathergal]

Well this cover isn't as bad as Brendan Kerry's cover... So wish they would have used the oeiginal -or at least a much better cover.

 

[oly2018]

I really hate these MJ covers. The original songs are so much better

 

[ancientpeas]

The stream is very pixelated tonight. I'm going to try a refresh in case it is me.

 

[Mrs. P]

There are so many slow paced MJ songs they could have done if they wanted a distinct tempo difference. Oh well.

 

[WeakAnkles]

I think the problem with S/A is they wanted so badly to make a BIG splash, that they created two dances that are almost unbearably cluttered. It's like they said, we better throw in EVERYTHING we can do and really show 'em. And that's hiding some really solid technique under all that busy busy busy.

At least that was much improved from their previous outing.

The music remains too dreadful for words.

 

[Colonel Green]

This cover is Bad.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm, much better than last time, but I still don't buy the program. The mediocre covers don't help either.

 

[lala34345]

My God, this music is absolutely terrible, like my eardrums are bleeding. If you're going to do a Michael Jackson medley, why use horrible covers instead of the actual songs? This woman wailing, "I'm baaaaaaeeeed" is just cringeworthy.

 

[SnowWhite]

Yeah, not on board with the music choices here.

I don't know if the issue is speed. Because if you can't keep up with the speed, then it looks very jarring. But yeah. I rather have the actual versions.

 

[Sabrina]

Eurovision stream is pretty bad tonight

 

[ancientpeas]

cbc stream is better than the isu one tonight.

 

[blue_idealist]

Come on, Lilah/Lewis, entertain us.... zzzzzzz.

And the result, for me seeing them live, I don't remember a SINGLE thing about either of their dances. Except the bad cover. :/

Same for me and I have refreshed twice.
