The legend vs the other butch Queen ate down
It was a good 3 or 4 that had potential
Ranika should’ve told them kids they vogue a mess! 🙄
The judging was reallyyyy kind cause lemme tell u it was givin beginner
isnt this in canada? they have to be kind in newer scenes otherwise the girls will just get disencouraged
It’s def giving beginners because Chile I was chopping left and right performance was subpar and the looks weren’t giving

green shoes gave tamiyah antics DOWN
Everyone in this gave virgin beside dude with the locs in the pink🤷🏾♂️keep ballroom in the states 😊

For real
Actually ballroom over seas is fantastic. France is great, Asia is great.
It takes a certain time for a scene to create excellence , let them grow
Old way where🙁
It says performance
@@brooklynmona5780 I think the comment is more, "The old way showcased was NOT old way". And tbh, it gave virgin old way, ns to the lady.
The kick sent me (to hell)
@@AlexLopez-hn5ru well it all was virgin 😌
@@kaosss7950 LMFAO
Omg is this THEE kevin mc in beyonce renaissance
no this is kevin jz at what he does best and been doing before beyonce
@@brooklynmona5780he literally has a bigger audience now because of Beyoncé. I think it’s a beautiful thing!
@@Scandalous_behavior yes i love that for him ..... but ballroom is hot rn and who wouldn't want the voice of philly <<<<<<<<
I thought Big Fredda did the beginning of that song
