Disputing scores is not uncommon at these shows.

Who's to say they didn't?

That's true. They should have had a good ole 'step off' between the co-winners and let the most creative team win :)

.

Fixed that one.

Am I the only one who is still amused by people saying:
"I don't know jack about stepping and I don't know jack about step shows but ZTA was the best. They were totally awesome!"

Watching ZTA reminded me of KidzBopKids except KidzBop might be a bit more original. I mean at least they take songs made in the last decade. lol. I can hear their stepcoach announcing now:
"Next years routine will include hot new features like:
The Ivy Stance
Pretty Girls wear Crowns
The Duck Walk
Twirling Canes
That leaningbacktogetherinaline thing they do"

In summation: Next years Show will be called "Bring it On: Step up to the Challenge" lol.
AKA: You better bring it. (flips hair)
ZTA: Its already been brought! (rolls neck like a 1 month old baby)

Ahh, lovely debate

I know you're not pointing your finger at me for that one - you'd definitely be putting words in my mouth there.

I am coming at this as an outsider and I admit that. Do I think the Zetas looked great and was I entertained by their routine - absolutely. BUT, we are all going to naturally root for our own orgs, that's only natural. You can't fault GCers from ZTA and other NPC orgs for congratulating ZTA, especially those of us not familiar with stepping.

Go 'head and just stay in the corner LOL

It didn't sound like that was directed at you. You are at least acknowledging that you're not an expert and seem open to learn.

Some other folks on here are like "I don't care if I have absolutely no idea what's going on. The ZTAs were the best steppers ever! They were so unique! Anyone who thinks otherwise is racist!"

SPRING 91 REPRESENT!!!


*poof* (Disappear)

Perhaps rooting for your own org is natural, perhaps not. But the whole point is that people, not necessarily just you, keep saying ZTA deserved the win, ZTA was the best, the rules were unclear, there were no rules, when this has been proven not to be the case. If you and other NPCers want to root for ZTA just because, that is fine, no one can tell you not to. The problem is when after having admitted that you are unfamiliar with step shows/the process and being provided with valid information as to why the win was in fact "suspect" you're (general you) making claims about what should have happened with zero knowledge base to make said claim.

Thank you.

I feel like Sprite handled this all sorts of wrong and I hope they learn from this year and make some corrections in next year's competition.

At the risk of sounding corny... Don't hate! Educate! :D

There's a lot of educating going on. Several people choose not to read the information.

Thank you for being the exception :)

SEE! LOL, I was trying not to go there, I was being fair. To the bolded, please, just no.

The Bring it on reference is hilarious....that's my movie, though :o

Man, Im never gonna get out of here. Its cool though because there's gonna be a sountrack to next years show and they're gonna call it
"Step Up or Step Off: The Official Bring It On Soundtrack"
It'll feature tracks like:
Brick House
Got to Be Real
Atomic Dawg
Candy
Da Sigma Walk
Pretty Girl
Ice Cream Paint Job
**ZTA special request songs to go with their 90s routine:

And as far as the "I dont know jack comments" those weren't directed at you SthrnZeta.

No, no, no, no, nooooooooooo LOL

I'm thru.

As long as these aren't synonymous to you.

Ever heard of "Little Italies" that exist in many large urban centers? Large urban centers have places that are epicenters for racial, ethnic, and cultural identities (not for every group, but for those that have the largest concentration of members who wish to retain their identity). These places exist so that people wouldn't have to leave America to experience their culture.

When you read Ignatiev, you will be reminded of what a "ghetto" is, what "ghettos" meant for immigrant populations, and why this is different from what "ghettos" became for Black and Hispanic Americans.
