ROUND 1
1. ~D.N.A~ - Moto (BoA)
misz___xjay: Once again, your personality shines through in your performance. I really like how you put so much attitude in your steps. You are one of the few people, in my opinion, that can make this dance almost as hot as BoA. However, you lack a bit of accuracy in your steps. Meaning, some of the steps you made didn't quite look similar to what the original choreography had presented. You did, however, had a lot of energy going throughout your performance. You remained consistent with your steps without making one step weaker than the other. Also, the outfit worked out great with the song. It gave your performance a little more personality. There is not much I can say about this clip. You're truly a good dancer.

knickstorm:
Well not much has changed. The sign still looks good and the dancing too!! I think you definitely took it up a notch. Everything looks to be in sync, the energy, the movement, I dig it all. For a 3 plus minute clip I like the variety. Nothing bad to say really…
pinkjenn: Hey YOU! haha
Ability: I really liked the freestyle! you didn't mess up! what are you talking about!?! Even though you mess up, we can't notice because you are way too good. Anyway yeah but I think Moto doesn't really have much moves except just bunch of body waves. You did well still although i don't really know how Moto really looks like
haha You are very smooth on the transitions and it makes it flow real well considering that you are very flexible.Overall Performance: I blame the capris...i think it makes you look shorter and less energitic. But i still enjoyed the performance well. I liked the big movements throughout the whole clip. You memorize so well! I love how you show emotions, not just the moves. Even your walks have some personality and emotions! Another great clip from you. I'm happy.
2. FLiPSiDE - (untitled)
misz___xjay: I really like the choreography here and the song remixes. I saw various moves that weren't repeated many times. However, towards the ending, I kept seeing several moves being repeated. If you start off with a strong opening, you should also have a strong ending. You had a lot of power, but that only stayed for some parts. While some parts you gave it your all, other parts just wasn't as great. The energy quickly vanished and reappeared. You had great timing for your transition to the next song, which showed you had improved from your previous clip. At some point, I didn't think you were really on beat. Even if you have great choreography, if it's not on beat with the song, it downgrades your performance a little bit. Besides all of that, I have to admit, you are a good dancer.

knickstorm:
A little bit of a slow start for me, and I’m not a real big fan of the long pause in the middle. But I think you really picked it up after that point. If the beginning had the umph the end did then this would a very formidable clip. Yet still a very good job nonetheless.
pinkjenn: love the musics you picked!
Ability: I really liked the third song and your moves! It seems like you used some unique and different from the last clip. The waves are looking good but I think if you wore a shirt that was a little tighter then it'll show more of your dance. It's still a bit sloppy here and there but it's improved.
Overall Performance: I felt a lot of engery and big movements! You make me want to jump up and down haha I liked this clip more than the last clip. Nice job.
3. james - (untitled)
misz___xjay: I was pretty disappointed with this clip. You showed us how great you were at popping and locking in your first clip, but with this second clip, that's all you showed us. The steps were the same movements I saw from your first clip, with an exception of a few moves. I was hoping you could showcase more of your talents with newer and fresher movements. Also, the fact that I couldn't even hear the music made the perfomance that less enjoyable to watch. This clip was unorganized, from what I can see. The guy, that was doing hand-stands in the clip, was very distracting. Near the end, you stopped pop-locking and just started dancing. In my opinion, it was not a great ending at all.
Mishxmish: (will be updated ASAP)
knickstorm:
Well after his first clip he set almost unreachable expectations. It’s not that this clip isn’t all that great but it’s just that the first clip was a such a surprise we’re left expecting more. Still loving the waves, pop locking, though I’m not sure about the topless guy, and you ended the clip when you were about to pull something off!! Haha, but I’d stil say he gets to the finals based on both clip and not just this one.
pinkjenn: O_O this clip kinda freaked me out
Ability: Who is that half naked guy!?! ahhh lol anyway hmm it felt like you already showed me those moves. I wasn't really impressed as the first clip. Just because you used most of the same moves.
Overall Performance: I thought that the music didn't match again
lol yeah i'm very picky with music because I want the music to match your moves. It felt like some of your moves were out of place from the beat. I have to say that it was rather disappointing.Personal Favorite and Why:
misz___xjay: I personally liked ~D.N.A.~'s clip the best. Of all the entries, she's the only person I saw that had a lot of charisma in her performance. She was very consistent in her movements and kept the energy she had from the beginning, all the way to the end. The performance she did was nicely put together; from the outfit to the choreography. She did a really good job.
knickstorm: No doubt this time, DNA has the best all around clip.
pinkjenn: ~D.N.A~. I was stuck between her and FLiPSiDE but I picked her (once again). More because she seem very confident in what she's doing. She holds up the coolest sign and walks down then starts dancing. She says she messed up but I see no flaws what so ever (i've watched it more than 5 times)...so that means that she loves making perfection. Effort and emotions were deep throughout the whole clip. She's always ready to dance into any song that we ask. You go girl!
