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:
