I personally don't believe rap is singing but more of a poetic expression. OK - lets say for arguments sake it's singing - should you be required to dance ? I bring this up cause I believe Justin Jacoby got a free ride in the dance category. I guess rap stage strutting is dance, and group dancing don't count !
holy cow! hello! so agree! i personally dont think that he was singing, but whatever...i watched him in the group number at the end...it was modified for him. the song and his specific dance moves! what's that? i know it's mean, but i didn't really feel he should have advanced on. but look who's on the show, him and not me. may the best...whatever...!
Hmmm... I think he danced well in his solo number... I don't think I saw him much in the group number since he was in the back most of the time and I wasn't paying close attention to the TV at the time.
What I like about him is his confidence... he just seems to be a little more "self-accepting" than a lot of the other kids... I dunno, something I just picked up on, based on their interviews and just their stage presence in general.
Plus I like the fact that he's kind of "different".. and yes he's easy on the eyes, as well as having a funny & very outgoing personality... I can definitely see why he was picked...
i dont understand why justin advanced. he obviously wont stand a chance with the likes of shannon bex. i think he belongs in a totally different arena. rapping doesnt require hitting the high notes and commanding low ones. all he had to do was get on with his rhymes. his dancing wasnt really showcased either. i agree he is different and he adds diversity but he will be more appreciated and equally compete with other rapper talents.
