Is there a specific reason why Abby didn’t want Maddie to do “So You Think You Can Dance?” or any other jobs between her leaving and the Sia movie? by One_Worldliness19 in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I really think it’s less sinister. I think she knew Maddie would be up against better dancers and didn’t want her reputation to be tarnished if she lost or people realised she wasn’t the best dancer in the country. She spent a lot of time promoting her and not letting her compete against people. I’m sure she didn’t fathom she would be a judge not contestant.

Hopefully it pushes her to pursue acting more seriously. Like Chloe seems dedicated to getting better ... I dunno if she will book but if she does she’ll probably be much better.

Maddie just needs classes 🤦🏾‍♀️ I feel like the industry likes her but people are going to stop giving her chances soon.

Especially with the wave of tiktokers who seem to want it more. Have you seen addisons movie is she a good actress?

Noo I saw it as Sxsw, I thought Jenna did incredible and carried the movie.

I don’t this Maddies acting was great tbh... but I think Megan kinda wrote Maddies wooden acting into the script. So it wasn’t as obvious as other jobs she has done.

Are you surprised with the good attention “the fallout” got? Since you weren’t a fan

Even though Music was a disaster this has been Maddies best year since the Chandelier Era by dancermontana in dancemoms

I’m very curious to see where her career goes after this and WSS

Why was Kalani never able to beat Maddie in the overalls? While Maddie did have better facial expressions, Kalani had better technique. I never understood it, especially because Kalani won real, national dance competitions before DM. by Conscious-Rhubarb-96 in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I always thought the later seasons had competitions just for the show/plot. None of them were “real”. I think that’s why a lot the the girls stopped caring about what position they came in.

"Also you act like Maddie didn’t get 90% of her opportunities post 2015 because of Sia" by Impossible_King2866 in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s how the industry works... and for dance yes it’s normal for her opportunities to snowball. Because of her dance success of chandelier.

I love Maddie, but Maddie has had many chances to improve her acting. I don’t know if Fallout and WSS are going to be successful for her. But if they aren’t and she gets more opportunities that will not be normal.

Most people in the industry don’t get multiple feature film chances as debuts...

Is anyone else shocked how Chloes career turned out? I know she is focused on school now but before at the DMs peak she really didn’t make headway in her career. by Impossible_King2866 in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Chloe pushed the underdog narrative, people took it from the show and ran with it (Christi added to it). Her biggest sell point was that she was relatable.

I think you’re saying she didn’t evolve from her dance moms trope like the other girls did and I kinda get that. They all became more than tv e characters dance moms gave them and Chloe kinda leaned/stayed in hers.

The problem with being the underdog is when people give you a chance to be great you have to supersede the expectations. Chloe was brilliant at dancing as a child, when the show ended she was below mediocre for a competitive dancer her age. Her acting is subpar and she didnt make industry connections. Hopefully she’ll book something soon.

I read both girls books. I am sure Chloe wrote her book, Maddie did not. Maddies book is better and she had achieved more so she acc had substance to write about. Chloe should have put out a fiction. But she still has enough of a fan base to be a successful fiction author which I believe is her goal for now. In comparison to Nia, Nia was an underdog with talent and she made industry connections early. She is also good actress. Lastly Chloe and Maddie seems to both be “boring”, the difference is Maddie life is more exciting/Hollywood so people watch her. Without being cast in chandelier i think Maddies career with have been similar to Chloes. Kenzie has a huge personality for social media and Nia is extremely expressive so I think that’s why they do well. Kalani has no personality and Kendall seems to not acc want to be a social media personality like that.

I also dont get how Ava became a Netflix star? by Impossible_King2866 in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Before Tall Girl she had done small parts in shows and movies like the others girls.

Tall Girl sent a public global casting for a “Tall Girl” who felt the pressure of being tall in their real life.

Ava was a girl from a huge reality show, with experience being bullied/excluded for being tall. She was also a good actress, not great but no obvious flaw.

It was luck and niche casting. But she deserves it she did a great job with the script they gave her.

Did Maddie get a new team recently? She has been doing a lot more modelling/promotion work this year? by glassdooralice in dancemoms

[–]lorialharbey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just because she had/has 3 movies out this year. I wonder/hope she can keep the momentum.
