Their all very talented, but it would have been nice if they would have stuck to the original dance style and singing of the Temptations. I agree that the Temptations Movie was on point, they never changed their dance style or singing into something else, because this is what they were known for.

[@jaqui1401]

Broadway performers are trained to use the healthiest technique possible to preserve their voices since they are performing every single night, sometimes 2 shows in certain days. In a way, it makes it seem so "Sanitized".

As a "baby boomer" who grew up listening to the "Motown Sound", these performers have the sound down pat. BUT the "moves" are all WRONG! Btw, I can't complain because they were MUCH better than most of the performers AND the "music" I've seen/heard these days. 👏😁👍

[@countrymorningmusic1]

Exactly! The Temptations are smoooooth, baby. These guys are too jumpy-jumpy.

[@sbender3787]

I came to say exactly this! I grew up with the Temptations. They have modernized the moves, probably to suit an audience that would find the original choreography too tame. The Temptations were iconic for a reason. Plus these dudes were definitely not singing live.

@@sbender3787 they sing live during the Broadway (theatre) performances.

[@captainkeyboard1007]

I grew up on Motown and other soul music, but I am more of a "listener" than a dancer. I like the choreography, but I feel that the music was more important than the dancing. However, the dancing is much better than the rap and hip-hop performances which are cheap. Also, The Temptations dress and look better than those hip-hop artists.

I have this too. Bought it back in the day. Loved the actor who played David Ruffin. Temptations came to Bloomington normal back in mid 2000. Otis Williams last original member still was performing. They went to a local nursing home to give Christmas gifts. They didn't want any press for it.
