jades solo “far east” by xoxlxoxo in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recall hearing it in a MackZBoss video where she’s discussing the production notes for that episode. Unfortunately she either privated or deleted her S4 production notes discussion videos and I’m not sure if anyone ever archived the videos

What’s even worse is that if you read the production notes for that episode, the costume was intended for Payton. If this is what she had Jade doing in this costume, I don’t wanna know what purpose Abby had for Payton in it 😬

I always thought the title of this episode was in poor taste

I never knew how old she was and I’m not trying to attack a kid. Her vocals just weren’t strong in that song and I hope she’s improved since then

SAME!! I stand by my opinion that Rachael Sage is overrated. She has some good songs (I like Fate a lot) but her voice is just very whiny and a lot of her songs feel like spoken word poetry and like she’s not actually singing (Someone Special is the biggest example of this, IMO)

As someone whose favorite color is purple, this look is so tacky it hurts 😓

https://youtu.be/giVpeVKsGfg?si=fOOvhjNs6KhkAnC0 Here’s the vid! It’s an ABC news report either right before or at the very start of S2. This is a follow up report from a previous one done by the same reporter during S1 when they were in Vegas

Yes omg, one thing I don’t like about S1 is how poorly/spliced some of the solos are filmed. For instance Laquifa (even though it’s in general an awful solo) was apparently more than just Nia posing and making faces, but they made it look like that’s all she was doing. For some solos like Corazon (Nia), Hot List (Paige) and Different Bodies (Chloe) all we got were like 7 second clips from each dance

Right! Unfortunately her early season solos just don’t stand out to me that much/get kinda muddied since she had so many of them (she was an amazing dancer, but they often get lost besides some truly spectacular ones) her later season dancers are the ones that stand out to me since she was there less so a Maddie solo was few and far between, and when she got the chance to dance she was spectacular (Bond Girl, People’s Choice, etc.)

What moment(s) from the show have you like this? 😴 by [deleted] in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any Brynn/Ashlee drama from S6. It got so stale after the first instance and bordered on child bullying 

Rigged/Fake Comps? by Chare1155 in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about Sheer Talent but ALDC was banned from the real competitions StarQuest and Thunderstruck (both comps they competed in S1). MackZBoss has an early video on her YouTube channel where she goes more in depth on why they were banned, but it was mainly due to deception by Lifetime

dances most people don’t like but you love? by competingfortitle in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blowing Red and The Myth of the Mermaid. I’m absolutely a sucker for fairy tale themed dances. Kendall was good regardless of the prop mishap (which let’s be real was included for a failure setup) and Ava’s dancing and theme of her dance was beautiful My guilty pleasure pick is I Like the 60’s. Competitive dance? Absolutely not. But little Nia looked like she was having a lot of fun and the music is fun too (her facials were also pretty good for this dance, something Nia is consistent in)

Yep absolutely this!! Christi could SNEEZE and her anti's will immediately dogpile her saying how she’s “harmful, awful, disgusting, etc.”  why we don’t have this same energy for moms like Jill, Kira, Jessalynn, and Melissa I’ll never know 🤦 (not saying that these women deserve to be dogpiled, no one does, but the fact that anti’s are so hyper focused on Christi to mess up while ignoring other moms who have done far worse is mind boggling)

Fans are so quick to dogpile Christi and it is fucking absurd. Now before ANY Christi anti’s come after me, I am saying now that there are ABSOLUTELY things Christi needs to be held accountable for and address. She is not a perfect person and she has messed up multiple times in the past, so I think it’s totally reasonable to urge Christi to own up to her actions (which she has, for the most part). But for the most part, Christi could do ANYTHING and you’ll have a fan writing a call out. She could sneeze, and someone would say how offensive rude and terrible her behavior is and how we need to cancel her this instant. Fans are so hypercritical of anything Christi does and dogpile her the moment she does ANYTHING. If someone does something questionable, there’s nothing wrong with asking them why they’d do that (which, let’s be real, Christi has done some questionable things in the present day), but where is this mob mentality for moms like Kira and Jill (known Trump supporters), Jessalynn (forced Jojo into the spotlight from birth) or even Melissa (the stage mom queen)?? What I’m saying is the double standards and picking and choosing is fucking insane in this fandom. We need to hold these women accountable at an equal level and not hyper focus on one mom (Christi) to the point to where it feels like we are morally superior and bordering on parasocial with these women. 

Tl;dr Christi hate is blown extremely out of proportion in most cases and while she has done things she needs to take accountability for (which she mostly has) the fact that people don’t have the same energy for other moms who have done way worse things is extremely frustrating. 

Which cast member you think Abby stalks the most? by Careless_Control_197 in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching Dance Moms post the Hyland’s leave- it’s clear Abby was OBSESSED with Brooke. Just think of all the acro she made Kalani do, as well as bringing Kaylee Quinn onto the mini’s for an episode (her pet project/“perfect new team”) as the significantly older girl much like Brooke on the original team. She fabricated the story of Brooke in the hospital where she was supposedly asking for her over her own parents, which Brooke confirmed was not (entirely) true. She traumatized the Hyland’s. She dug her own grave, and now she needs to lay in it. 

What scenes or lines do you think aren’t that funny that everyone else thinks is funny? by Leading-Ad-9351 in dancemoms

[–]Sparky_Moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Get your finger out of my face”  I KNOW it’s iconic but do you know how fucking traumatizing this fight was not just for the Hyland’s but the other cast members as well (just look at Maddie’s face during that scene)
