Greetings all,
I stopped by today to simply pose a few questions in regards to the new format of Showtime at the Apollo. For the past couple of weekends, I happen to catch the show and noticed that the format of the show has totally changed. I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but I've observed the following changes that may have taken away from the overall sustance of the show:
1. Where the h*ll is the REAL sandmand? Now-a-days, they have some joker jumping off the balcony area in street clothes, tap dancing like somebody's fool???
2. What the h*ll is that "whomp-whomp" noise Monqiue often prompts the crowd to yell, instead of the original Apollo "boos" that we've all come so familiar with?
3. Where the h*ll is KeKe Shepard?
4. Why does each performance in the amature competition seem like you're at real live concert. Band and all (though I am fond of the Ricky Minor band...
5. I'm not racist or anything, but why did I see a slew of white people out in the audience...constantly throughout the show? Nothings wrong with it, but....IMO, something don't seem right?
6. Where's is that lady that ALWAYS sat in the front row of every show? I looked forward to see her each Saturday
Overall, I guess it's cool one way or the other, but you can certainly tell the difference. My room-mate watched the new format for the first time last night. His response to the changes were "WTF?"
Just wanted to get a few opinions.
