Just got back from watching Overdrive finals at the Esplanade... I skipped Forensics lecture to go watch it... And BOY was it worth it!!

The 8 solo and group finalists were all damn good!! Interesting concepts, moves and very entertaining... And having Sheikh Haikel as the MC was just as entertaining...

But the highlight of the event will always be... WADE ROBSON... He's AMAZING... His moves are damn good, sharp when they have to be, smooth when its called for... You really can learn a lot from him by just watching him and listening to his comments for the other contestants... And the comment for the day was... "Make yourself different from the rest"

The solo winner, Daniel, from O school... had an amazing choreo... His fusion of remixed classical music with street hip hop, jazz and 70's locking was just damn nice to watch... I initially wanted to try something like that as well, mix classical with hip hop, but back then, I didn't have the skills to yet... but now I'm slowly learning more and one day, I might just have enough to do that...

The groups winners, Fantastic Four, were just damn creative and very coordinated with their choreo... The moment I saw them perform, I just tot to myself... That's the standard right there... The other groups are going to have to top THAT...

Of course, the crowd went wild when Wade performed... And WHAT A PERFORMANCE!! Him and his 4 dancers... performing SEXY BACK!!! before the intermission, and RAMALAMA!! after the intermission... Seeing the choreo on Youtube was one thing... Seeing Wade himself performing it is another... And the crowd just soaked in all of it...

His moves are so different from others I've seen... when he was teaching the top 2 finalists his choreo, everyone tot that it would be hard at first glance, but as he taught the steps, I realised that it wasn't the steps that was hard... It was the delivery and groove that was hard to get... Anyone can catch choreo, but its how you inject it with your own little flavour, that's whats different...

Even Wade himself said that... He looks for people that have a certain natural ability to bring themselves out into the choreo... No two people can dance the same choreo the same way...

All in all... it was a VERY enjoyable show... even if I had to sit on the 3rd floor, the view was actually quite good... Could see the dancers, their choreo and their formations as well... Heh... So if someone was out of place, it was quite obvious... Hee...

Heh... that makes it two shows I've watched in two weeks... Last sat, I went with my sis to catch the HILARIOUS RUSSELL PETERS!! He's so famous that he had to extend his one show to 5 shows and with minimal advertising, they were all sold out!!

Of course, as usual, ppl cheered when he used "Somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad" and "Be a man"... Who wouldn't?? Even his opening act was just as funny... I was literally laughing non stop for one and a half hours... And yes, his jokes are all new... just took a bit from the New York show... But it was still funny...

I wished they had a recording of that show and sold it... I would definitely buy it... hehe... His jokes came hard and fast, some were a bit crude even... but hey, thats Russell Peters for you... Haha... I wouldn't have it any other way...

Gotta go sleep now... finally finished my essay and CA, can take a slight breather.. Phew... Hehe...

This blog is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced reasoning inherent to the thinking of the mind. It is the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mind and body. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led me, inexorably, here. (Yeah. It's edited from Matrix Reloaded, so bite me)
