National Step Show On ESPN2!!!!!

[Bluboi1]

Does Any1 Know the Chapter name or what School the Sigmas and Zetas who won is?

I didn't like it. The documentary part was GREAT. The camera angles and editing on the performances were all wrong.

I expected this to be filmed how they film cheerleader competitions, with maybe three cameras, NOT SEVENTEEN MILLION! Too many transitions were missed and you didn't get the sense of uniformity.

And Keshia Knight Pulliam's voice is worse that the sound of cats having sex.

I watched it but they didn't show the AKAs nor the Alphas....

The Zetas and Sigmas kicked it hard and deserved to win

They did show the AKAs. Theirs was an AKABarbie theme. They chose what has to be the most freaking annoying song ever for their entrance: Aqua's "Barbie Girl". If I'm not mistaken it was their Alpha Phi chapter? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I didn't get to see the Alphas.

I saw it all. The airing started with practices and preps and then went into the competition. Basically I thought it was boring, although I do agree with who the winners were.

I would like to know how the competitors were chosen, because if they represented the best than lawd help us.

Ejaffe was that you in the middle of the front line of the military step team? You all were good!

And Shid, leave my soror alone.

I'm thinking this was really shown as promo for the movie Stomp The Yard.

Yes, that was me. We were not in the competition. The army(Stomping on the Yard) sponsors us.

I know you had mentioned that on here and PP. So it was the Unknowns being sponsored by the Army? .

I agree!! I stopped watching in the middle of a performance. I know some off the chain step teams that really know how to put it down, primarily on the DST wavelength.

I am convinced that by 2020 someone will try to make stepping an Olympic competition.

Rashid!

The doc was cool, but watching ESPN's version of a step show reminded me of watching the Bayou Classic halftime. You just shouldn't cut things out. Why couldn't there be a whole two hours so we could see great transitions, an entire show, etc.?

I watched part of it with soRHOrs at a Christmas party, and we were shocked that we didn't see the Zetas' tribute to the Sigmas (because you know there was one), but the tributes for Omega and Iota was featured. Who dropped the ball on editing?

Loved the Alphas with the movement, and the Blue and White were excellent! I've never seen "Africa" done so creatively before.

Co-sign on the editing part, especially with the Alphas. It looked like the cameras couldn't stay still for them.

And you never seen the Sigmas do the African steps before? The unknown Sigmas (which I thought it was Army members doing the intro) have been doing that for years.

I've seen it too many times too count. That's my absolute favorite traditional step out of all of the fraternities. I've never seen it done as creatively as "Dem Boyz" did it because I've never seen the steppers being used as drums, especially the two in the middle...leaning back...with no hands...looking like a wide African drum. Were there two? Maybe four? Never seen that before, and I loved it.

[YouKnow]

I agree, that Africa step was BANANAS (no pun intended)....I've saw Africa done before, but this team TOTALLY REMIX IT....

This team is the future...

Zetas were from Philly and Sigmas were from Jersey, I don't think they stated the chapter just the location
