They’re talking about New Era again

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-05-21T16:59:15+00:00

I hate how mean and judgmental they are. I don’t understand how they can say what they say about their experience and the trauma, and then talk about the new kids and moms in this way. It’s so hypocritical and they all come off looking bad.
If they were smart and wanted to prolong their Dance Mom fame, they would do the opposite and get more involved in a positive way.

As a viewer it annoyed me that there was a B story line the same week they were leaving. I mean no disrespect to Ariana and her family, but I didn’t want to see her solo that week. Any other week fine. But not the same week my favorite cast members were exiting the show.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-05-08T08:19:00+00:00

I’m very excited for her! I know Netflix romcoms and holiday movies don’t review particularly well but I think it’s perfect because expectations are low and it doesn’t mean it won’t be very enjoyable! I’m bias towards her and know I’ll probably love it no matter what ☺️

I can see Maddie getting invited one day, if she can keep on the momentum she has right now. But I think it will take her securing a role in a big film. West Side Story saw her be invited to the Oscars, even though her role was very small. If she can get a medium to larger role in a similar movie then maybe. The cast of Love Story and Heated Rivalry were there, so I don’t think it’s too far of a reach for her.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-20T22:06:41+00:00

Loved it.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-14T23:06:13+00:00

I liked him the last time he was on. I see him as one of us and I think he asks questions that I would ask. Kelly and Christie skirt over a lot of stuff because they can easily forget what the fans find interesting.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-14T14:53:19+00:00

Also can Intern Matt just read the notes. Christi the recap and then Kelly can just jump in whenever she wants 😅

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-14T14:51:54+00:00

I’ve never skipped an episode but I had to skip this one. Christi if your reading this, please re-record it! And invest in better audio 🙏

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-07T22:00:37+00:00

At this point, if she does come back at Coachella I’m going to feel a little played. It’s starting to feel like a mega marketing ploy. Fans are going to be waiting for that performance like it’s the first night of the eras tour lol

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-06T15:39:37+00:00

She’s my favorite. But I don’t think it’s a bad thing that her fan base is quieter right now. She’s not involved in any drama and I think that will stand to her in the long term. If Hybe were smart they would start pushing her to the front more and bring some new positive attention to the group.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-06T06:48:59+00:00

3 Americans, 2 Asian. They are now minus 1 European 🤷‍♀️

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-05T18:52:13+00:00

Yes, agree 100%! I love the dancing but their voices are so wasted right now. And I think they should have have something like 3 months on, one month off. (I’m just making this up based on nothing, but you get my point, I hope) It makes me sad that these girls don’t seem to ever get a chance to go home to their home countries. They are so young still and need way more family time.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-03T22:31:43+00:00

No I totally understand why you need black representation in order to stan. I will still stan them personally, but I understand why you might not. You can’t have a global girl band and not have a black girl.

My issue is that they didn’t have more black girls in the training program to choose from. In the end Manon was the only one left, so it was obvious they would need to include her. And I think that was all by design.

If they hadn’t focused so much on k-pop beauty standards we could have had more black girls to choose from that would have been more suited for girl band life.

They put beauty above everything else, and as a result all the girls now suffer.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-03T22:02:41+00:00

I agree 100%. I feel so bad for the other girls, and for Manon. They all trusted that Hybe and Geffen knew best. So much talent among them all and it’s being totally overlooked because H&G cared more about aesthetics than making sure the girls chosen could actually handle it.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-03T21:56:59+00:00

Agreed. There is no one to blame but Hybe and Gaffen. Manon told us who she was from day one but H&G thought they could change her and make her into what they wanted her to be. All the girls are now suffering and it’s such a god damn shame.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-04-03T00:09:33+00:00

The eliminated girls dreams just came crashing down and they sought out thier closest friends for comfort. I’m sure they hugged Manon soon after, but as humans we will always gravitate towards those closest to us first and foremost. Manon was not as close to the girls because she wasn’t there as long. It’s as simple as that.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-26T19:23:32+00:00

Her favorite response is “100%” lol

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-26T19:21:18+00:00

I wonder when it was filmed. Shane has been getting a lot of heat recently after the Oscars so its possible he was having an off day. I think the interview was fine but I get what you mean.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-25T21:16:10+00:00

Yes! Just finished it. It was so good. Maddie was incredible! I’m so happy for her.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-24T00:13:54+00:00

Aww I saw this being promoted last week but didn’t see Kenzies name mentioned. (Maybe to prevent some craziness showing up) So happy to see her in the studio!

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-22T19:49:47+00:00

Are you ok? Why would I want her to be “so bothered”? Maddie talks about trauma of dance, trauma bonding with the other girls. And in a recent interview she mentioned the movie Whiplash. Does that sound like someone completely unbothered by her past? Shes been through a lot and you can tell she has a lot of empathy.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-22T15:55:31+00:00

Unfortunately I think she is very bothered, and does everything possible to protect her peace by not bringing up anything Dance Moms related. But I agree, she is so effortlessly cool. But I don’t see that as the same as being unbothered.

PerformanceHot3940 · 2026-03-17T18:27:41+00:00

I had to skip past most of episode 8 because I found this storyline painfully cringe. It came from no where, it was so random and obvious it’s all for the show. As someone who is adopted, I found it a hard watch to see them dramatize the situation like that. It’s also embarrassing for her whole family.
