[@lwhite2152]

omg i love kaba modern!!!!

[@devivre10]

Amazing! They deserved that 3rd place!

[@dudepal187]

Ahhh that was hot. Huge improvement off last year's Body Rock performance. I think the 09 Kaba team really brought it together since then.

[@allibons]

i cannot believe how many times i've watched this over and over again by myself haha. you guys make me BEYOND ALL LEVELS OF PROUDNESS. it is such an honor to be an alumni of such an amazing organization. kaba modern is a beautiful thing, you guys have and will continue to inspire even with just this set alone...and thats on top of the fact that this was only your first competition as 2009. i love you guys all so much and i am yet a fan of kaba modern all over again

[@TheDannyPhamtom]

kabamodern is back. The tingling feeling going up my spine is back...... i know a lot of people had their judgements and critiques in the beginning about the 09 roster but you guys really have become your own. Apart from any other roster you guys still represent km but in an evolving way. I can't stop watching this video the hard work is evident more than ever =)

[@arpee1686]

the whacking part was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arpee1686]

hikari's so damn good at it...

[@djvonbonjerry]

that loud "YOSUKE" voice was an uproar!!! at 4:15 waaaa!!! i keep hearing his name on some of kaba's performances, way BACK!

[@bayb3ehoney]

whoa. love this video!!

[@letsdancehard]

indeed..major ab workout...the theme was a city feel..shawn came up with the theme and can explain it more.

[@pinguinkip0]

Ah thank you so much! I'm downoading the song right now and i agree, it is a dope song :D

[@girlzed]

AMAZING

[@Captaj12]

that.....was.........AWESOME lol

[@showstopas]

oh shit! they are back! YAAA KABA!!

[@yronimuz]

hahaha the kaba VIBE has returned!!

[@xobkced]

such great heights - postal service

[@dayyuumabby]

YEEEE! kaba modern is back on track :D

[@OutPuT]

Woot Choreo Cookies! :) Damn, wish I went.

[@GodofMediocrity]

I'm fully aware of that. In fact, almost all the crews on ABDC were full body crews that had a long history before the show. It's just that the natural crews are sold short and people on focus on the ones that actually show up on the show. That's what I really meant to say.

[@tinasuckssx]

i had a fucking heart attack during the wacking piece. SO GOOD! this is like the millionth time i've seen this video today and it still amazes me.

[@allistar34]

KABA

[@haneen]

KABA IS CRAAAAZYY!!! =D

[@mrstrangebrew]

kaba modern= kababayan modern...

[@arpee1686]

thumbssssss up!!!

[@individualiztik]

impressive set, i enjoyed it KM! great job! i like the mint royale track 1:04, nice selection of music.

[@girlzed]

Singing in the rain - Mint Royale

[@ThaSweetHart]

No. I recognize that shoulder move from the beginning of the part where they danced to "One Shot".

[@showstopas]

i understand the team changes from year to year, but peoples expectations don't. and why should they? kaba has AMAZING potential and this performance proves it.

[@Blaowser]

Great job you guys! hope hell week didn't hurt your finals too much. congrats on getting third.

[@djvonbonjerry]

as what that other guy who didn't like kaba now said, "its called evolution".... you can't always say its getting improved every performance.... their previous performance had alot of bad comments, but now they, if not perfected, mastered and adjusted to all the choreographies, try voguing and whacking... do you know how hard it is to move your arms 360 degrees in less than a second? or even swiftly move your body while at the ground? maybe that guy is right.... YES, THEY ARE EVOLVING....

[@arpee1686]

and hikari, and paul, and yosuke, and geo..

[@HannahPopArts]

The song at 4:03 is "c'est la vie" by martin solveig! one of my favourite songs!! haha ;)

[@orijinnal]

[@raccastar15]

[@GodofMediocrity]

[@horcoffgirl23]

[@arpee1686]

wowowowowowowowow..

[@djvonbonjerry]

Magic - Robin Thicke

[@MOOOVEitelle]

aww i like this the postal service one and i like the one that EVOLUTION HIP HOP did for their subway set back on May 2nd~! both are dope routines... look EVOLUTION UP~! you'll find it on the evoyouknow15 channel! they used Such Great Heights as their intro~! imagine the two together~!

[@ratchetb7]

agreed

[@Pcvstro]

i know right? you don't even have to press "HQ"

[@ThaSweetHart]

That shoulder move at 0:26 reminds me of the one during the "One Shot" portion of their 2007 performance at Fusion. Anyway, this is pretty decent. :)

[@pinkycheeks]

postal service choreo= O_O

[@arpee1686]

i just wanna point out a minor thing... the transistion from the whaking part to the finale part wasnt that good... but the hell.. their still my inspiration!! hahahahaha ... go Kaba.. it just keeps on getting better and better!! lol

[@arpee1686]

Yosuke has own fanbase... hahaha..

[@killah4]

soreal was long before abdc too. and so was boxcuttahz they jus went by a different name.

[@JonahAki]

haha for the record robbie, kaba's never done vogue. ^_^ love you.

[@GodofMediocrity]

They have

[@GodofMediocrity]

I like performances by Choreo Cookies and Kaba Modern because there's strategy in them, unlike most other overrated *ahem ABDC* groups.

[@impulsive]

kaba place third!

[@GodofMediocrity]

Good, because frankly, I think people are being blind-sided by the MTV crew. So much that they don't acknowledge the actual UCI team.

[@DANCE437]

there in km legacy who performed at that show your looking at the wrong video lol

[@scntillatedseed]

a-maazing. whos' that dude in white? Gotta know the hcoreographers for these pieces, specially those last peices.

[@pinguinkip0]

omg kaba modern is so sick every time! I just love their style. Btw does anyone know the name of the second song? I believe it's some remix of an older song right? Rain or something.

[@djvonbonjerry]

LEERRH!HH!!!!!! PROPS TO: espinosa, geo lee, darina, dana, jonah, the murakami's!, shawn, paul tiu, jaSON!!!!, deyo, jon aldanese, joyce!! of course, cindy! AS WELL AS, allison vicencio, kristina bui, geo lee, AND ANDREW SIMBOL!!! WOOT! -djvonbonjerry

[@8footlongspreggroe]

go kaba!!! that piece where they dancing on the ground musta been an ab workout during practice! btw, what was kaba's theme to this comp?

[@Drakk707]

This was way better than the Vybe (FAILURE) performance, this time my only coplain is that the last section wasn't impressive at all, other than that you did a great job congrats :D

[@rnovedo101]

can someone put song list up pls and thankyou =)

[@GodofMediocrity]

I know, mid-terms are killer enough by themselves! btw, all of them are students.

[@huynhalex]

choreo cookies came first idk who got second but kaba got third

[@n0time2spare]

Kaba modern always burns the floor up. but. IMhumbleO. They need more choreo with mixed sets that complement. In terms of teamwork there's nothing extraordinary throughout.

[@bn350z]

The Company got 2nd

[@thatdorkdennis]

work it out modern!!!! _deNnis_

[@JonahAki]

there is no song in between

[@ArthurTong]

TJ, I HATE YOU AND YOUR HD CAMERA!! lol, respect

[@aj44379]

i know this is annoying but does anyone know the breaking song at 2:28??? that intro guitar riff is SICK haha..

[@Soundwavextreme]

lol easy to see who shawn is xD allways got that hood on

[@yronimuz]

i think paul tui messed up in the bboy section?

[@djvonbonjerry]

there not ass good 'cuz they bring somethings that are new to the table... ever seen kaba vogue before? please respect them especially the current team,things change and if you want things as they were used to be keep on watching previous videos then maybe you'll get satisfied., if you were from kaba and you recieved so many bad comment despite your hard work... then it won't pay off... -peace out!

[@kwalkinz]

What's the name of the second song? (The one that starts at 1:05).

[@mfallejo]

watch the team as one instead of individuals.

[@PinoyPopper195]

whats the song that starts at 1:27? is that a remix???

[@dancerskater]

whats the name of the last song

[@johngo16]

What is the song that starts at 1:52?

[@djvonbonjerry]

i think its took the night??

[@danstervibe]

What's the song at 3:07?! The crowd went wild HAHA

[@JL0vely]

[@arpee1686]

or yosuke??

[@3wonka]

who came 1st 2nd 3rd?

[@DANCE437]

yes there is lol you very strange person 0_o

[@Grobbie.B]

OK PLEASE NO DISRESPECT! but dude really? I've known Kaba to be very original and always brought something new to the table. Yes this was a really good performance from all the choreographers bomb job! But its now getting to the point where its predictable... the styles are stapled.. Pop, Vogue/JazzFunk, Breaking, Locking.. I'd like to see more out of Kaba...

[@olweizbemyhalq]

sloppy?? wat the heck! is dancing a part of ur vocabulary or not?? just go to an optical shop and buy ur glasses! kaba's one of the best.. show us something better before you guys judge 'em.. ayt??
