8tv showdown 2011 final

Well, there you have it, the champion of 8tv Showdown 2011, Elecoldxhot!!!! Congratulations guys!! :D

So I predicted wrong. Elecoldxhot did have something up their sleeves after all. I like how they use different music genre, like dubstep in the first routine. But the show that blown us away have got to be the second show. The second routine was the best, I would say, of all the performances they have done throughout the show. They finally get rid of the annoying idle which they like to incorporate in the middle of the routine. They finally speed up, although still not much grooving, but fast movements really make the show a lot more exciting. So, kudos to the choreographer.

In the battle round, I really think that HMC Phlow did a better job. They seem much more prepared and focused. Their sets were also more neat and please to watch. Elecoldxhot on the other hand, idle a lot during the battle. Before they took their first move, they were sort of lost... They wasted some time scouting the stage while discussing for strategies or waiting for their song to come in, or something like that... It was obvious that they weren't well prepared. At that moment, I thought that was it for them. But luckily they managed to show some stunts before the time was up.

The next most anticipated competition would be Astro Battleground 2011/2012, which hopefully will take place at the fourth quarter of the year. I am looking forward to see more talents this year. It kinda went downhill after the third season but I still believe there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons...Please come out from where you're hiding cause we need to see you :D

Speaking of which I've came across a very talented young man, called Lee Hann Sen, aka B-boy Hann Sen. So far I only know he is or was a member of Famous Crew, he competed in a few B-boy competition such as BOTY and I-battle Penang (search through Youtube). Really hope to see more of him soon :)

Check out his crazy moves:

Wow what's this! Dennis is totally stressed out.. :( Through Dennis's confession, it seems like there's a lot of conspiracy in 8tv Showdown 2011 competition. He seems quite unhappy with the competition particularly with how 8tv organises things. From his words, it can also be deduced that Elecoldxhot is having some dispute with other teams... O.o

Prediction:

So... tonight is the night! Who will win Showdown 2011? First and foremost, I guess every team that goes into the final deserves a standing ovation. Great job and thank you for all the wonderful times ;D

Frankly, I thought Elecoldxhot would win this competition, but I was shocked when I know their votes weren't the highest. The votes they got could only earn them 2nd runner up. But they definitely deserve more votes yo, so keep voting..

For the result prediction... I'm definitely not as good as Paul, just giving some personal opinions here.. I think..

HMC Phlow would win the title,

Elecoldxhot 1st runner up,

2nd runner up, Bounce Steppers

Rokustep would stand a chance IF Showdown were meant for B-boys.

But the judges and the fans made it clear that this competition is NOT about skills and power moves all along, it's about entertainment...Cause face it, not all the audience know hip hop dances. Not all understand the level of difficulty of a move. Not all appreciate stunts. We normal people only recognise the entertainment value of a show. If the show if interesting enough, then you have our votes.

HMC Phlow would win because I think they showed very consistent performances throughout the show, you can expect good show from them during the final as well. To me, the only thing they lack is attitude...You know, all of them looked too friendly... Show serious faces and held your heads up higher like Faruq, you'll be more destructive.

If Elecoldxhot cannot get champion, it's really not the team we should blame... The judges like them, they've demonstrated high quality of performances every week, there is no way they could lose this competition, really.

But since the show is coming to an end, I guess I can at least voice out my tiny little disappointment about this team that I held so long.

Elecoldxhot, no doubt they can blow the stage, that is, if they let the right person to choreograph... ;D You can definitely figure out their style now --- LA style. But sorry to say...LA style is not interesting enough for an ordinary audience like me... I do hope that they let the one with true talent to choreograph the last and most essential show tonight! I've watched quite a number of their shows and I think, if I guess right, 'that guy' is too confident of himself. He doesn't realize that he needs to absorb more variety of styles into his routine. The other guys in the team who knew this all along, please voice out and help him realize his routine is getting boring. So all I can say is, good luck Elecoldxhot.

Tonight, 930pm, 8tv, 2011 final Showdown. Don't miss it.
