Getting real sick of all the Larry fanboys throwing a hissy fit and insulting the other dancers whenever Larry loses. Believe it or not, dance isn’t just about big moves and musicality, it’s also about rhythm, flow, and being in the music, which is something Alex is very good at, and Larry isn’t. Alex won this, end of story

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Something I realized years ago, Les Twins battle because they love it. It’s their passion. In addition, they appear at some of these events because some of the producers and promoters are friends and they know the presence of Les Twins fills seats and puts money in their pockets. It’s the same reason they feature on some of their friends music or videos and dance to their songs. They all know the Les Twins fandom will run up the numbers. I hope they’re smart enough to arrange for compensation and wages for some of these cause they’ve put quite a few of these competitions on the map returning year after year and we’re not even including merchandising and vendor support.

Friends … you maybe mad, sad and disappointed but !!! Instead of that try to understand… but be ready that it will be not short trip. As the gentleman in the video said few times: “I don’t understand” , “I can’t understand” and that’s basicly it … and I am not offensive. Just don’t staer too much, listen more and feel more … Alex looks maybe too simple for you but that’s the key element … becasue to look simple on this level is not simple. He is just another level … it takes time to see that and you are not able to understand it just from watching it. First at all: Try it !! Spend some YEARS with trying it, practising and studying of foundations of hip hop dance. Am not saying try to be same as he is ( becase after all those years you probably still will be not able to catch his level ) but try too be that clean, have that flow, transitions, rythms and variations of basics, that musicality … bro than you maybe understan why this was fair desision. Mad respect for Lary …Twins are one of the greadest dancers but remember they not alone in this shit …. and Hip Hop has some rules you can do tricks and have beat kills but you got to be more than it … or sometimes less …again respect for Twins …but don’t be mad and don’t say that those people …another legends and great masters of their crafts, desided wrong. Try to just be litlle more humble and say ok maybe I don’t have it yet… Peace ✌🏽 and have nice days Brothers. Love.

One place they haven't given their name to is America. Our press has renamed them "Beyonce's dancers". Grouped (with the rest not the best) with the regular dancers, nothing special, no names, no identity. Is this what they worked 20 years for, to be known as "Beyonce's dancers?" That name is probably going to stick in America. Some people say they should stop battling. I think they should quit f***** with USA. They are more appreciated in Europe.

Y'all...Larry lost here. I been a Les twins fans since like 2011. They are my favorite dancers, but Larry's style right now doesn't do well with the judging criteria. Whether you like his style or not, it makes sense why he's losing rounds. Alex is better than Larry right now.

[@SmallPound]

I wouldn’t say Alex is better than Larry, I would say after reading through comments that Alex gave “those” judges what they were looking for. That’s what I’ve concluded, but he’s not a better dancer as I’m sure you might agree.

@@SmallPound they have criteria related to the style of dance. It's criteria that has evolved out of the roots of hip hop. Depending on the type of tournament (hip hop, popping, krump, all styles, etc), they're going to have different criteria.

You could be right sir, you could be right. I wouldn’t say I fully focus on moves even though I spoke about it in the video, it’s more so excitement in what a dancer is doing and how the music is interpreted through the dancer’s performance.

Alex...no emotion...no movement...no Musicality.... Larry has creative and frantic movements and always wears the music and dances with her ... While Alex: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJrNpquPrNusmdE

[@T_money808]

Larry was only being animated, incorporating dime stops and crazy control, with no groove and bounce that’s not dancing. Alex the cage had better foundation. Musicality isn’t just about hitting beats, alex took a certain flow and had many variations within his sets for the particular round. Look at his first round against majid in the battle bad 2021 finals, he took the heel toe and had many variations based on one move there’s more to dance than just animation and body control. That’s why I see Laurent as better than larry because he actually grooves and is more free within his sets. Larry has many cases of throwing signatures out of nowhere and having many resets whilst Laurents remains connected to a greater extent.

[@tiffanyblack6911]

You said it...I was thinking it. No disrespect to Alex though but it kinda seemed like he was still in the cage... Maybe of his mind or movement but not as free as Larry... And, animation is a big part of the Freedom of Les Twins...They have said that. and people like it as opposed to other dancer's choices of dance. It is what it is... Respectfully 💕

If Larry doesn't dance hip hop then please name the style? It is hip hop, Its just Evolution he created his own style within hip hop which is legendary and thats what everyone especially dancers as teachers say to their students... "Have your own style" "If u know a move change it up and make it your own" "Try to be different" So then you see someone like Larry who does things his way no matter what anybody says and IT IS hip hop just *Different* Then BOOM everyone is like oh thats not hip hop soo hes gona lose thats very ignorant in my opinion people need to be open to change and evolution just because its not done how it first started doesnt mean its not the same core. And Les twins's style is more eye catching to watch which is why they one of the most successful dancers, its not easy to get on the industry as a dancers and they been all over it thats cause they are different, i can rewatch a same les twins video multiple times and literally unbiasedly not get tired of watching it and thats not the same with every damcer. with that being said, I can see Larry losing this i just dont agree with the Les twins dont do hip hop thing thats stupid af

[@bboysergiorock]

It's about how the fundamentals of hip hop are incorporated. Having your own style is cool but when you have a dancer that strays away from the traditional form of hip hop that's going up against a guy who's masterful at doing exactly that, in a hip hop battle, it's pretty hard to give him the edge. I'm not saying Les Twins aren't hip hop, but they are so experimental that a dancer like Alex is one of the few that can actually compensate against the Twins' skillset.

When Majid lost to Larry it was way back in 2010 before he really found his style, it's literally night and day in terms of skill level. When they faced again in 2014 majid commited 1st degree murder against Larry and it wasn't even close. When Ukay battled it was a 2 v 2 with his partner Aldo that sold the whole battle trying to taunt instead of just battling and it cost them the round. Ukay did his thing against larry.

[@bboysergiorock]

Fact of the matter is, Alex looked just as if not more effortless and to be fair, that's not even 5% of the whole conversation. I love Les Twins, Les twins got me into dance in the 2010s when they were just on the come up and been watching their stuff since then and appreciating it whole-heartedly. But this battle was fair all throughout. Alex is just masterful at incorporating grooves, patterns of movement that are polyrhythmic, and is honestly perhaps the greatest hip hop dancer I've really ever seen in my lifetime and his approach to musicality is one of the most accurate I've seen. He doesn't just represent the beats in itself, he represents the way they go together all throughout the track and the story he creates is completely in accordance with that and his ability to stay on beat is unrivaled. He won the battle through his mastery of basics, variations, control and constant presence of all fundamental movements of hip hop, and he could be considered, to a degree, a sort of kryptonite to the Les Twins style that strays away from that traditional and fundamental form of hip hop. Now to be clear, it was such a tight battle that any other day, Larry could have compensated with the aspects that make his dance so amazing, but even then I would have my doubts. As far as true hip hop goes, Alex was the winner but it doesn't take away one ounce of how mesmerizing the Les Twins' style is, but that's the thing, Les Twins are so experimental that it's hard to judge when pitted against such a masterful hip hop artist. And I honestly think bias was not a factor. From the crowd to the judges, that tells the whole tale, especially since Kefton is a part of the same crew as Larry and still voted for Alex.

You are entitled to your opinions. I respectfully disagree with some of your points. This is the beauty of having different pov's. Alex always seems flat to me. I believe the twins have/are fighting hard to open the dialog about what hip-hop dance is and how we evaluate it. Groove, flow, transition, foundation... ok AND one day the dance must evolve past those traditions. Creativity, freedom in expression and truly hearing and showcasing the music is Les Twins. Let's have this chat again in the future.

[@jacquelinemiller6135]

What tha fuck was that?🤔🤯

[@LynLvs2Laugh]

Third round, Alex was back to the base dance and stayed on the floor too long doing nothing. His entire floor work was trash. Nobody dances like Les Twins but at least keep your best foot forward. Any judge that chooses what Alex did against Larry as a win is either biased or blind. He was literally doing a b-boy’s base without the tricks. Larry’s musicality is so intelligent and obvious. You could tell Larry was pissed and done with the competition.

[@許維哲-r9d]

I can tell why Majid won when against Laurent, cuz he really did a great job. But I just can’t understand this one. I know Alex has strong foundation of hip hop dance, but wasn’t it a freestyle battle? I thought we should choose the winner who has better understanding of music, better body control and flexibility, better creative unexpected moves. U can see Larry was totally freestyle in the video cuz he did some mistakes, while Alex just did his move in the same way. And he could even do these moves in every round of music in this battle. Even in the final when Alex against Majid. We are choosing the winner of the battle, not the teacher of the next hip hop dance generation right? No hate to Alex but the battle is really messed up

[@bboysergiorock]

Polyrhythmic movement is the highest level of body control, flexibility isn't a judging criteria, Alex's musicality is amazing and his representation of music is perhaps one of the most true since it's all based off the patterns of music and when mixed with polyrhythmy he rarely ever jumps off the beat, and honestly to me, as a dancer of 13 years, Alex has had some mad unexpected moves that felt right where they should be and that's what it comes down to imo, no purpose in doing unexpected moves if they don't feel like they should be there and forced, which to me is what i feel happened in the last round from larry, but then again, that's also not a judging criteria. Things judges look for is musicality, foundation, originality, technique, vocabulary(which can mean variations inside pre-existing moves), incorporating and the maintaining a groove throughout your round, story telling and so on.

[@tglo8251]

Hi my SP fam‼️ I want to but I can't watch. Not even under the protection of my fam! I'm reading these comments and it's crazy. I love Alex's style and he is Ole school so he knows the hip hop foundation. As I said b4, 2021 has been his year. But, in my opinion, the Twins have never followed the traditional hip hop foundation which is why they came up with the New Hip Hop genre. They don't have a genre for them. Before the Summer Dance Forever battle (really good/aggressive battle) between Majid and Alex, no one is winning, because they are supposed to be a crowd pleaser. That's my opinion. The Twins, to me, will never be like the rest. @Dawn Clements and @Bobby Molly respectfully, I'm curious to know who is so top tier that they haven't beat.?🤔 Alex and Majid, whom I really like, don't count. The Twins have been making money moves through 2020-2021 so maybe they need to get back in battle mode, although they look ready to me. But, again, whose big in the hip hop world? I'm just curious.

[@SmallPound]

You should watch it, so you can be even more confused 😐. I’m boycotting summer dance also.

[@tglo8251]

@@SmallPound LOL!! 😅🤣 I'll watch tomorrow. I'm not happy 😤 just knowing Larry lost! Fyi.. Alex always builds upon rounds. He has the nerve to wear a bucket hat now. He usually busts out shades in the last round if it's tied. But Majid wore a pair in the first round of summer dance. No words.

[@coastapop2303]

seems like people are just soo caught up in big moves and beat killing that they dont see the rest of what goes into dancing. Alex is a more complete dancer who understands different rhythms and timings as well as having a real foundation. if you want all the bells and whistles they you want larry. if you listen deeper to the music and know hip hop foundation then you see alex won. most people wont see it

[@T_money808]

Exactly Larry was only being animated, incorporating dime stops and crazy control, with no groove and bounce that’s not dancing in fact it’s not hip hop. The foundation that the dance was built off of have to be incorporated. Alex the cage had better foundation. Musicality isn’t just about hitting beats, alex took a certain flow and had many variations within his sets for the particular round. Look at his first round against majid in the battle bad 2021 finals, he took the heel toe and had many variations based on one move there’s more to dance than just animation and body control. That’s why I see Laurent as better than larry because he actually grooves and is more free within his sets. Larry has many cases of throwing signatures out of nowhere and having many resets whilst Laurents remains connected he grooves and flows within the music while showcasing his own freestyle.

[@lilfuzzballa]

I get that this channel is like a mini Les Twins fan club, which partly is why it's so obvious that pound and many of his viewers are super bias and one sided to Les Twins. Most Les Twins fan boys and fan girls have kind of been conditioned to only think good dancing is only made up of beat kills, big moves, and being super animated. But the reality is that the judges look for more than that. There's so many more pillars to the fundamentals of dance, than the average Les Twins fan is even aware of. Sometimes the judges do unfairly judge Les Twins, but there are also times like these where the judges vote against Les Twins because the other dancer was more rounded. It's ok to prefer a certain style and like the flashier moves and beat kills. But the fans really need educate themselves on dance, before they start assuming there's bad intentions or Les Twins are being played.

[@tiffanyblack6911]

So, educate me. What makes a dancer more rounded to you? Because I don't want to be biased or Simple and uneducated about dance. I want to be fair💕

[@tiffanyblack6911]

A mini Les Twins Fan Club😶 That was a Lil harsh don't ya think... SP does different genres of Videos... Not just Les Twins. We do beg him to review the Les Twins videos but we support his reviews of other dancers, vlogs, and funny videos like Family Fued and other stuff... Don't do that... Don't think we don't have open minds here. We are all free thinkers😊🥰💕

[@janicestevenson9471]

I am confused about what you are saying. Are you saying liking Les Twins or enjoying their style or appreciating that their style is appealing to a wider audience has super biased or conditioned their fans to not appreciate elite hip hop? I find the opposite experience. When I ask for information, education, and examples from folks who comment on @Small Pounds' page, my questions are met with sarcastic comebacks or silence or borderline hostility, as if the reactionary bias or conditioning or lack of open mindedness is with the contrary opinion🤔. Is there a pro-les twins /anti-les twins split in the hip hop world such that there is little tolerance for all dancing and dancers including Les Twins? I am new to this world, and truly don't know. I appreciate your comment as I am curious about the tension in responses and dialogues.

[@lilfuzzballa]

Just to name a few things: Flow, groove, technique, the way they interpret the song, storytelling, concepts, etc. But when it comes to some Les Twins fans, they tend to often ignore a lot of these core fundamentals that other dancers express very well, simply because they dont have Les Twin's style or have big beat kill moments in their round. Dance is deeper than beatkills, signature moves, and musicality.

[@janicestevenson9471]

@@lilfuzzballa are you saying neither Larry nor Laurent are attentive to or demonstrate elite elements of flow, groove, technique, song interpretation, storytelling, or /and concept development? Or they focus on signature moves, beat killing, musicality, etc. and drop out the foundational elements. Or they only dance for flash or show?🤔

[@zhalynmiles9290]

The dude dances like a toddler Larry obviously won that

[@AI.viewer]

This Alex dude Is so 'monotonous' and repetitive, he could put me to sleep with his dancing. Unlike Larry.

[@Lionelmachtvideos]

Which goes to show that your knowledge on foundation and the roots of Hip Hop is super small. Groove, Flow, bounce and rythm are the very foundation of Hip Hop Dance, Alex was consistent in all of those, he might not be the most flashy dancer out there but if you pay close attention you'll see how he attacks multiple layers in the beat while maintaining his flow, groove and bounce all throughout. Larry in the other hand is very lacking, in that and people tend to think that dancing is just about crazy moves and beatkilling which for some reason people call musicality nowadays🤦🏾‍♂️

[@theholyshrimp1012]

When I first watched Alex, I also found him boring. Until now I still do(sometimes) but the longer I watch his style, the more I learn more. To understand his style you gotta have an open mind and pay attention to the music closely.

[@efrainsantos2168]

les twins sendo roubado como sempre,... complicado.. nojoooooooooo

[@theholyshrimp1012]

Rubix sees something in Alex. If you look at Rubix the whole battle and the whole event he was going crazy for Alex. People gotta stop enabling this hate for other dancers. Even Laurent saw something in Alex and was voting for him in an event when he was a judge, . Even Buddha stretch one of the first hiphop dancers ever called Alex one of the best bboys in the world. Hopefully yall gain an open mind when it comes to other dancers, it is beneficial.

[@SmallPound]

My apologies, I didn't know Rubix and I were supposed to have the same prescription. Look, I'm just here sharing my thoughts like a free-spirited dance enthusiast, not everyone's gonna agree, and that's the beauty of diversity, right? As for the comment section, I'll consider it my personal treasure chest of diverse opinions, not a hate-filled abyss. I don't think there was ever a time I instigated hate towards someone for favoring their performance. There have been other performances by Alex that I have enjoyed, this was not one of them.

[@theholyshrimp1012]

@@SmallPound Glad to hear that bro, I also apologize for being rude in my original comment. But I do agree that there are performances I dont like from Alex, I mean same goes for other dancers. I personally dont like his judge demo in world of dance but you get the gist. Im glad to hear from your perspective, thank you. As much as I’d like to delete my comment, I wanna keep this here just for people to see and hopefully gain an open mind, Im just gonna apply some changes.
