DANCER CHOREOGRAPHER REACTS - [UNIVERSE LEAGUE] ROUND 3 FULL CAM OVERVIEW

[@SoraiaLMotta]

Jess's list of Seo Jeongwoo's fake crimes are hilarious. Let just admit that he steals fans hearts.

[@jess_holyfield]

@@SoraiaLMotta haha I also was delighted in framing him of 15+ crimes over the course of one dance haha

[@nickjose9692]

The song was butterfly yet Sirin was a bee 😭😭😭

Ikr. 😂 Just think of it as caterpillar

[@jess_holyfield]

hahaha not a beeeee

[@abigailv.9746]

Hahahaha

[@momshie5794]

😂😂😂 I thought it was just me who thought about yellow & black = bee😅

[@lovelyviolet1999]

it will really sting if he doesn't debut because he's talented 🥲

[@Mambo971]

Love the analysis always. Thank you for this. I'm a rhythm fan.

[@jess_holyfield]

@@Mambo971 thank you for watching alongside me!

[@nina70v3]

I'm not sure if he has already done so, but El Capitxn has proven himself globally through this program. Beat songs are so dope!

[@nina70v3]

I was so sad for him when Mamma Mia got stolen, especially since he made it for his team. SBS really did him dirty with that.

[@jess_holyfield]

I have really enjoyed getting to see him showcase his work representing himself! Super fun!

[@Nimski-p8y]

i just so love el capitxn's song ❤ i just hope he'll produce the debuting group's song

[@Bullet_SonOfZeke]

Hi! With regards to Shuaibo's Airplane, according to what I read on TikTok, not sure if it's true, but, it says that the Airplane throw of Shuaibo was not shown on the broadcast because of the recent Airplane crash that took lives in SK. SBS prolly being careful about it.

[@jess_holyfield]

Ah gotcha! Thank you for sharing!

[@mentaldetritus13]

Also your man at 1:04:51 is Groove's leader Jang Kyungho. He was in TO1 with Woongki and has a lot of great dance performances under his belt! My personal favorites include his cover of Taemin's Criminal, his performance of Sriracha with Chan, and his parts in TO1'/TOO's M2 Relay Dance cover of TVXQ's Rising Sun.

[@TFMCeb]

Personally , I like most of El Captan's songs, I also like Groove's emphasis on vocals but I think Rhythm's energy and swag on their choreo is so fun to watch and their vocals are great too, they seemed a balance group for me in terms of singing and dancing but song-wise, Beat got it! Rhythm needs a banger of a song.

[@jaycoronado8401]

Groove has a good final debut team as they do have someone who loves to write a song and obviously good stable vocals and even they dont dance much they actua;;y also can dance good its just that most of their concept doesnt allow them to showcase more of that side of their talent and also has great visuals with hot and manly vibes.

[@mentaldetritus13]

Regarding the raw vocals, there are fancams taken by the onsite audience showing how stable and loud Groove (esp Butterfly) vocals were, if you are curious.

[@JimFeig]

They released practice room performance videos, and in those Kairi did the reverb. Team beat live audience picked On and On then Groove then Rhythm for Unit 2.

[@jess_holyfield]

Proud of everyone for this challenge! Such fun!

[@kinchi_256]

great news! Team Beat won the unit 2!

[@jess_holyfield]

That's awesome!!

they won the onsite votes but lost when they included the online votes..

NOT A SPOILER JUST A THEORY FOR THE FINALE(EPISODE 10). I think they will debut a team (most likely team rhythm) if they win this is what I think the possibility of what will happen: 1. group of 7 in the finale (no twist) 2 group of 5 or 6 in the finale instead of 7(which means the the top 7 or 7 and 6 will not make it then the mvp/s of other group/s will be included) (bad twist for the 7 or 7 and 6 if ever.) 3. group of 7 in the finale+ the one or two mvp/s of the 2nd place or 2nd and 3rd place of the other group/s(groove(Park Han)and beat(Woongki). Is my theories believable? personally i like it if the 3 or 2 will happen (so Woongki and/or Park Han will debut)

[@nishijaja1113]

i hope it's the 2nd, daisuke is too young for the group image they are potentially eyeing

[@akmin1570]

i feel like the debut line up will consists of 8-9 person. the whole rhythm line up + they'd probably get park han and MAYBE woongki, or from Beat. like 1 whole team wins + 1 player each from the 2 teams

[@peterpaulvillapez4750]

In my opinion it's 8-9 members, and they prioritize Chemistry and star potential for growth, so Daisuke is in for me while park Han and wongki will be added

[@MissFortune123]

And you are right at number 3 ❤

[@jeromybatumbacal]

tama ako 😱😱

[@wizardsannie]

I really like your reactions, Jess🫶😉 They are very objective and you see things what others don't see, and you also pick things that people might be overlooking intentionally because they have their favorites. Some people might not agree with you because they are heavily influenced with the groups they like and that's completely fine, but I hope let's not spread negativity, everyone. I mean, I also have my preference, favorites even, and that is because I'm just more attached to this team because of how they resonate to me--- it's Rhythm by the way. All in all, I love your reactions Jess, I'm finally subscribing after watching your reaction for a while. I don't comment much because I like watching and giving a video I watch a like (if I like it), but I just want you to know that you gained a new subscriber here💜

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for your comment here and replies throughout these discussions! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and I’m really excited to see these final performances!!!

[@dclaire29]

Yes, Team Beat won this Unit 2. But unfortunately, they’re last overall. I really like TB’s Mamma Mia too, I hope El Capitxn will be the producer for the debut group.

no this for rythm unit2 , peformance base not only for music choice 😊 iknow el captxn good on music

[@dee-wc2hd]

I'm pretty sure El Capitxn was the only one who made a contribution on the team's song. They usually say if a coach helped on choreography or production and so far, I can't remember anyone other than him mentioned about hands on involvement. Possibility that coaches just chose the music available from their company. Choreographer is probably also from their company or SBS. And yes, there are still some script like any other survival/variety shows but we just don't know which are scripted. Woongki and Kyungho's issues during intercept was probably mixed with scripts and genuine words/reaction. I also think the way that coaches not choosing the ace of another team every trading scene was due to an instruction on them by the producers to continue the excitement of the competition. But these are just my thoughts and observation.

[@3inxane]

Plssssssss I really need to hear your thoughts about the performance at final of UL -

[@jess_holyfield]

Hey there! So I am waiting on full versions of the performances (I know they are shortened on SBS) once they get released I'll be taking a look!

[@LeahMaeManijaime-u3i]

YAYYYY

[@atooth4atooth]

Oh for sure someone will quote this lmao.

[@soodoiee846]

I think the full cam vid and the main performance are different because i noticed on the dhtb full cam JL didn't unbuttoned his shirt while on broadcast he did and also when shuaibo and steven threw jl on the full cam shuaibo was a little late to let go when they threw him

[@jess_holyfield]

Yes I saw that as well! Great observation!

[@Nimski-p8y]

@@soodoiee846 Im not sure on this but JL has a thing for adding his own flair to performances!He always sneaks in a little adlib,like in give me that..

[@user-UC1OoS4WOl]

@@Nimski-p8y it's called blocking, where they highlight the person performing

[@PTCannonFodder]

I rewatched their Are You Ready performances and noticed he only added the split in the later ones. I can't find more samples but I think he started around the Inkigayo performance and improved the split from that to later ones where Park Han hands over the Rhythm banner to him.​@@Nimski-p8y

[@SoraiaLMotta]

@1:03:00 the casting criteria becomes more visible on how the show prioritizes screentime, storylines and trainee spotlights. example: Chi en is very introverted/ reserved, but the show made very clear from the intro sequence until now to show case him even if his behaviors , out side the performances, dont "stand out" in it self but only in contrast to others. Not saying he is not a good kid / artist, but how narrative builds the audience focus. Or how most beat members didnt get storylines on the eps, important for online voting, but got some on the extra content on yt at least. Is one of my "enjoyments" of this kind of shows also see how much guiding there is for the final line up, because there is always more qualified artist then are spots. And how people pick up their favs, can they differ from the guiding? low screentime are able to shine? do starpower * + limited skills always wins? I was reviewing the first pick teams ep1 and the final 21 and how the differ. I was suprised of how much and little the teams changed and which 1st bench members got to the final. 2 directors mostly keep their vision / concept from ep1. *= personality, visuals, stage presence, popularity / charisma, entreteinement value. -- I prefer more balanced teams then just random favs. I also believe that every group must "survive" without their mvp/ center because is $ lost if they can't perfom or leave.. learned from work experience. --

[@jess_holyfield]

@@SoraiaLMotta fantastic points made here! Thank you for watching and sharing!

[@hahaha8737]

i believe idols + star power should always be together coz even if you have skills but don't have that star power, you'll always be in the nuguland inside the industry

[@SoraiaLMotta]

@hahaha8737 sorry for the Word count. yes start power is very important. As a huge pop fan before kpop it is their main apeal. and usually trainees don't receive training to improve it like stage presence is a form of acting. And start power is very hard to edit out of videos, I guess that why there is a bias. because exceptional dancers and singers( with lower/ perceived/ edited out as lower starpower) only shining in their few performace spotlights moments is always less secounds then there rest of the show, to build fanbase, and regular idol activities that is > then performances in time / products. But potential (limited skills) candidates over already skill- rounded and appealing candidates is somenthing that always will happen, where the competitive / people's voting choices makes it interesting. ( and where you have to be mindfull if it is in your line of work as is mine to not develop surpestion , anxious, frustration behaviors ) I am very bad at prediting final line ups because I don't understand some types of star appeal in them self, so try to learn how the other perceive / the show guides. That why the argument that people only goes for visuals / nationality is fundamentaly wrong because is a complex nuanced and cultural preferences context.

[@chenny2977]

Yuito (yellow guy from one and only) is sooooo underrated. SBS is not highlighting him :(

[@3inxane]

FEEDBACK FOR FINALS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@samkronoa3738]

Can anyone let me know how involve the judges r cause I don’t think survival shows aren’t tailored or have a script already from the start so I wanna know how involved the judges are in choosing songs and making the choreographies bc so far their songs has a kinda similar feel to their judges music and same for some/all of their choreographies so yeah if anyone have an idea of how involve they are pls tell me.

[@user-UC1OoS4WOl]

For Rhythm this is the case. When Dir TenYang choose a song, they also do the chroreography. It was mentioned by Dir Ten during BTS, mostly SM or NCT coded songs.

[@soodoiee846]

Still can't accept what the onsite voters did to DHTB.😭

[@akmin1570]

Hmm I'd say Beat always get good songs, since the beginning. but let's be honest, some players of beat team performance / skills are too underwhelming for the songs. Woongki and Kairi did great for the 2 units. As much as I like Jinho, but he just can't keep me hooked, and his parts are not that impactful to viewers (at least to me). Other beat members are (sorry) just.. really like blur on stage. Because their parts aren't really that memorable, you know, easily forgettable. Now, if Team Beat have players with good skillset, say Hanseo, or Steven, maybe they'd could really ace this round.

[@daisyreyespana3682]

Can you reacts on practice cam ? Cause it's much better versus the actual performance there's something on to it. The storytelling of chores that didn't really delivered well in live perf.

[@blvesoul]

i want yuito to debut so bad but i just know its not close to happening

[@ß-ethanzhan]

13 people is already eliminated.

[@jess_holyfield]

That’s what I saw in the episode 😭

[@angelamanuel2645]

Voting is tricky with a live audience! You never know how these things go down! Luckily they have a strong global voting pool!

[@celticfire1175]

I have watched your reactions on UL groups since the start and I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you truly have biases, especially for Groove. You do not seem to like the Rhythm much. You have a passive-aggressive tone against Rhythm. You know what, in the end, the global fans will negate everything you say. A dance expert and educator should have a sense of "the pulse of the zeitgeist," capturing the essence of what resonates with the collective heartbeat of online viewers/voters. I'm done watching your reactions.

[@jess_holyfield]

@@celticfire1175 Hey there! So firstly I appreciate you taking the time to providing some constructive feedback to my videos. I try to be a listening ear and I am always open to hearing feedback. Regarding your statement about me having biases towards groove and being passive aggressive to rhythm, I wanted to ask where specifically in this video I was giving that impression because I do remember me stating that groove will most likely be placing last and rhythm would be taking the win and that they had great competitive routines here! I’m super hopeful for a fun finale and I know I tend to provide a more refined feedback with episode viewings but I know I’m not able to provide that for you at this time. I also disclosed that my perspective here would be more subjective than normal since I had sbs influence what I saw from the regular cams and episode of unit 1 so I tried to be more vocal about that. I would like to know what specific examples of being passive aggressive have taken place so I can study those behaviors, because to my knowledge I have tried to remain team everyone and not bias towards a particular team , so I apologize if my intention did not read as such. Looking forward to hearing back.

[@wizardsannie]

​​@@jess_holyfield The commentator might have just been under the sorts of all opinions happening online right now between teams, especially because the finals is just around the corner. What I like about your reaction is that even though I don't completely agree with everything, I also don't think you are wrong because they are anchored with you being objective with regards to your experience and background. You don't have your favorites but you have a preference, and that's completely fine--- I mean, don't we all have someone we favored more over the others? Mine is JL, Han, Steven and Shuaibo as of the moment--- my top 4. I also agree with the people that you think will debut. Because objectively, they are the the strongest contenders in this show. With JL, the chances of him not debuting is low but not zero. If SBS will suddenly drop him--- the internet will go wild🤣

[@wendycueto8614]

[@soodoiee846]

I checked video and Shuaibo actually had and maybe threw the airplaine on the broadcast too but the camera didn't caught it coz it was focused on other members😞 now i get why you always complain about the camera featuring it annoying and disappointing and i feel sad for Ibo cause he had little lines and he maybe did that to make his part atleast memorable and they didn't showed it to the broadcast.

This ep was shown after the airplane tragedy so that part was intentionally cut out to respect the victims of the plane crash.
