2024 and i cant forget this moment

[@MrWillafortune]

When Josh put the hat on I knew it was over

[@AlexBAlixir98]

Yes it was wrap!!

[@siirdynamiictv]

The DJ knew what he was doing lol this was a setup lmao 🤣 but CandyMan Definitely Snapped

[@Prinxelockk]

I agree brooo

[@bobbynelson8399]

He snapped alright,he snapped his wrist doing them AK(African Karate) kicks!

[@kayilla6413]

100% lmao but he deserves it tho

[@DonnieCain-r1x]

How can anybody beat Joshua ????!!!! He moves soooo smooth and fast !!!! And his moves are perfectly timed to the songs !!!

[@DbeeM]

My boy Joshua’s favorite show as a kid was soul train

[@jOoH3602a]

Joshua dançado é de arrepiar, que ENERGIA!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mochaabeverly]

Joshua was on the money! What!!!!! And you know that! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@abrahamhawkins1754]

Incredible both of them 👏👏

[@MilitantX1]

Joshua is a BEAST!

[@PreppedANDStrapped]

It was a coincidence that they chose that song for the last round because Joshua had a routine on that song but he is amazing !!

[@cristiane__terra]

WOW!!! Just wonderfull! 😍😍😍

[@lunaivane]

He did it!! he did it!!

[@charlettea.p.kealoha8050]

Mahalo ( thanks) for sharing your moments with us coming to You from Honolulu, Hawaii, well done Joshua.

[@annagriffith4047]

Joshua enjoyed himself...gotta enjoy the music!

[@pcdgamess]

Joshuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa simply floated above the music, he was the music.

[@ericrobinson7184]

Can't explain it, but Candyman is just one weird dancer, the way he carelessly groups his moves, is just entertaining!

[@soulstart89]

His got interesting ideas. For me personally his approach lack funk and he comes across rather straight back. it felt rather housie to me. Joshua embodies the era of funk dance.

[@borisklashkenov1122]

​@@soulstart89 i agree. Since Candyman is more of a house dancer, I guess he focuses more on his footwork than actual Locking. But his style is still fire!

[@soulstart89]

@@borisklashkenov1122 oh that makes sense. Yes bud a great dancer. I kinda reminded me of when the great icee explored house and entered battles. He was good but it didn’t sit in that style all that much.

[@yanisazzaro]

@@soulstart89 i'm agree with you

[@latmaniussef]

Gotta love watching Candyman getting humbled

[@volcomfreak111]

Candyman was doing fire stuff and crowd was sleeping on it.

[@BassLiberators]

The crowd were fed up with him by this point in the night, wasting so much time. He came across as disrespectful to the people there.

[@chapter404th]

@@BassLiberators what happened?

[@PauloPiccoly]

@@BassLiberators |I do not agree! He was actually developing. This is how true freestyle is born!

[@areacode215]

Joshua snappeddddddddd that last round

[@rickybrown4745]

Joshua remains me of MICHAEL JACKSON! and that’s saying a whole lot‼️

[@sonyalynn4407]

I'm just saying when Joshua comes out he it's like the music talks to him he just have the moves and looks good doing it too be young

[@powerinprayer917]

I thought the same. MJ vibes

[@latmaniussef]

MJ/JAMESBROWN

[@goobiethegreat_2484]

With the second song, I feel like it was such a setup, now I love Joshua, but I feel like the DJ was giving him the one up with the second song considering Joshua is so funky when it comes to dancing, and Candyman was busting some killer ass moves, but Joshua took the crowd with his whole vibe, I love them equally, and it’s just my opinion 🤷

[@sonyalynn4407]

Candyman wasn't really doing nothing come on me for me right Joshua was boogieing down

[@goobiethegreat_2484]

@@sonyalynn4407 well remember the song they played probably isn’t something candyman would dance to, but for Joshua it’s a song that fits him perfectly. That’s why Im saying it was a setup and they were giving Joshua a one up

[@KhyreseH]

It definitely wasn’t a set up just certain songs suit certain dancers more just via style and it happened that it suited Joshua more but this song everyone knows it’s a classic

[@classicharlem3952]

Salute to both of these brothers and their talent! Josh is my guy though!

[@jeremyvanbriesies1940]

Damn ....this Joshua boy is awesome 😳😳😳

[@yanisazzaro]

Candyman beautiful energy with beautiful performances that follow the sound well but funky steps to accompany the phases of lockin it's more like house or african dance

[@mitchvalentine9988]

Candyman has some really slick footwork. Joshua bringing all the flavor tho, the crowd reaction says enough.

[@kindface]

Two different leagues. Joshua is untouchable. It wasn't even close.

[@Kissy-Suzuki]

Joshua is the shiz! ...Always will be!

[@DAVIDranas]

Both were amazing!!! But candyman won to my eyes... why? I dont know... the last song was a big coincidence... that song was used for a video where joshua danced... what a curious to choose that song in semifinals where many people can vote online... in addition, this is about freestyle... and some joshua's moves are almost the same of the video... dont get me wrong... I loved both dancers... Joshua is so funky... but in this battle candyman was the winner...just my opinion... ✌

[@Haosama7]

You tottaly right bro’ for me Candyman deserve to Win this one !!!

[@p.l.p.l.6141]

lol EVERY locker knows that song perfectly

[@Haosama7]

@@p.l.p.l.6141 yes it’s à Rick James Classic but it’s not about that the thing is about Joshua dance vidéo hé Dieu exactly the same routine he did on it, i love Joshua and his style but Candyman deserve to Win he came with more things than Joshua et clearly Win all his round

[@DatBoiKilln]

He lost go cry about it😂

[@PauloPiccoly]

Gentlemen, for God's sake! Is Joshua good? Yea! The boy is great! I don't want to belittle his victory. But let's go! Did you know that the DJ at the event is from Crew Ghetto Funky? Same Crew as Joshua! Candyman is sovereign! He knows how to develop in any urban dance like no one else. Joshua wasn't going to stand a chance! The boy only won because the DJ put the song that gave Hype in his video on Instagram. So much so that he makes the same moves in battle by copying the video. That's why everyone went crazy.

[@bobbynelson8399]

Joshua! Is the winner!Candy man(😂)what in the hell,CM was doing African Karate moves!he almost hurts somebody in the crowd!

[@yochapo5449]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@trillcanada]

ahahahah!

[@gorkehthebeast8375]

Candy man was 🔥

[@ramonfontoura8166]

Funky! ❤️

[@cordellgibson6037]

This was a legendary battle for real. Candyman is one of the best dancers alive PERIOD, let alone lockers. That being said, Joshua is a LOCKERS LOCKER IMO. The funk was undeniable and he had the moves as well as the musicality to go toe-to-toe with Candyman. The decision was fair to me and I loved this battle.

[@PauloPiccoly]

Joshua won because of his Crew DJ. He released the song that gave him Hype on Instagram.

[@sonyalynn4407]

But Candyman was only squatting Joshua was up boogie and popping locking just doing the whole nine come on now give Joshua his props

[@cordellgibson6037]

@@sonyalynn4407 if you actually read my comment you'll see that I gave both dancers their props and said that Joshua was the better dancer/locker in this battle.....smh

[@sonyalynn4407]

Thank you gentleman for not being hard with me I guess Joshua is the youngest out of them all and he's just really awesome to be that young

[@PauloPiccoly]

@@sonyalynn4407 Ah... Is he amazing just because he's young? HAHA HA! Please! 🤦🏿‍♂️ The boy is good yes! But he didn't win that battle alone. His Crew DJ helped you. I knew it wouldn't be easy!

[@JaredTSM]

candyman is great! new fan

[@alonzttavanduyne1831]

[@harzer99]

Happy to hear the second song Boogie on by the afrofunk legend Rob!

[@eduardosantoscolodel8742]

Candyman got that come on!

[@sonyalynn4407]

Yes he do

[@jotadavidojeda]

No doubt about it.

[@BenDuhTaurus]

*6:12* Let’s gooo Joshua 🪩🕺

[@bboyritchy]

Robery of the year 🤣

[@SerpentineWisdom]

L take. Candy man is fire. But Joshua was on a whole nother level all night. Man was in his bag and just walked through the competition. Everyone here had technique but that man brought the funk and soul from all his ancestors into his rounds. Recognize.

[@mustafamahmoud4997]

The third song had me questioning man ..

[@mustafamahmoud4997]

Jushoa made a video with song before and he knows it buy heart .. he even did the same moves he did in that video lol

[@BassLiberators]

@@mustafamahmoud4997 every Locker knows that song by heart lol. It's like the first track everyone hears in their first locking class, clearly Candyman knew it by heart as well.

[@mustafamahmoud4997]

@@BassLiberators I know that but you get what I mean .. he really almost didn't do a single new move on that song lol .. but if I was judging I would give it to him as well

[@sonyalynn4407]

No Joshua won that Fair and square Candyman wasn't really doing nothing

[@justpde]

Jumping around like an ass is how I saw it. Agile, okay footwork, but it didn't take him anywhere. No real musicality.

[@cbfbmc]

The only thing I don't like about this is some of these dances do not dress to pay homage to the ones that was before them

[@kylinmooney167]

Song at 2:46?

Joshua just has too much funk...💁🏽‍♂️

[@dnicefilms8550]

Joshua has his inspiraton straight from Flockey

[@mmbm6279]

Crowd sleep on Candyman. Candyman’s last round was insane. Joshua’s rounds lacked variation, but politics gave him the win. Joshua is sick, but yes, Candyman won this one. Candyman is definitely on another level here, but this just is a popularity contest now. Smh.

[@sonyalynn4407]

What do you mean Joshua is sick . The contest was about dancing and locking and Joshua did both and done it damn good

[@PauloPiccoly]

Yes, my friend!

[@PauloPiccoly]

@@sonyalynn4407 | You are wrong! Candyman won this battle indeed! Anyone who really understands, studies and experiences dance knows clearly what happened in this battle! And I say again: - The DJ of the battles is from Joshua's Crew. He put the song that gave Hype to the boy in the last round. He just won for that! Just for that! Because the movement was the same as the video that gave Hype! The end!

@@sonyalynn4407 Absolutely agree

Pretty disappointing move from DJ and Joshua. This was straight up a set up by them
