MT POP vs POPPIN C - TOP 8 POPPING - FREESTYLE SESSION 2023

[@AdrianCM]

Damn only 1 round?! That's brutal. I would've loved to see these guys go at it for at least 3 rounds. FSS is notorious for keeping popping rounds short.

[@Dreamz.Interstellartorium]

strong this

[@verbalase]

Yeah one round is tough, I wonder why they did that. 🤔

[@Skedooosh]

Glad you're still around Lobo

[@NamKyo1]

Lol Nelsonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@preciousnunique]

Poppin C did great and had immaculate technique. Here's why MT Pop beat him: - MT Pop had groove that matched with the song. Groove is rare in popping and it always wins the audience over. - MT Pop's energy matched the song - upbeat and playful - it made the judges and audience feel good and connected with him. Poppin C was stony faced the entire time and looked like he was trying really hard. MT Pop looked like he was just jamming out at the club. Effortless. - great technique, perhaps not as good as Poppin C in this round but good enough - creativity - he wasn't just doing moves - it felt as it was freestyle and went with the vibe of the song. Poppin C's moves could have gone with any song. it's a shame that these two faced each other so early

[@kermitthefrogg123]

You’re a judge ?

[@preciousnunique]

@@kermitthefrogg123 Nope it's my opinion.The comment section is here for a reason otherwise they should have just closed it. Am I wrong in what I said? Was MT Pop not more groovy?Did the audience look like they enjoyed MT Pop's round better? Was MT Pop not creative? Did his round not go with the song? Did he not show more character? Where was I wrong? If Popping C's round was better why did MT Pop win?

[@Gbg23345]

Hard agree but it was really close

[@SheriiFFF]

@@preciousnunique great analysis brother. looking at mt pop it was easy to tell that it was his 'song'. Felt like a clear win for him since i felt like Poppin C couldn't hold up his own against mt pop in terms of creativity and groove after the first 20 seconds.still, Would have loved to see these 2 juggernautz go t it for atleast 3 rounds

[@ivanbooroovooy6775]

Interestingly, Nelson has gone against MT POP, and Nelson usually goes for more groovy and song-matching dancers, putting aside creativity. It feels like MT POP won this because of his creativity, not for the groove. Even seemed like Popping C was both more technical and groovy a little bit, but was hugely lacking creativity

[@ManuDancer]

One round more for me

[@JericGambon]

Damn! good matchup! Good job to both!

[@tksbot1798]

one more plz~

[@Ryan_3gRi]

Popping C is more like doing his battle routine in comparison with Mt pop, his moves are cleaner tho.

[@archie7288]

Feels like needed 1 more round to judge and see a big gap difference, even tho i like more mt pop round because its more dynamic

[@beckyanderson1297]

I still remember them from Street dance of China

[@paulajames6149]

Both so good!

[@luizfrancisco5423]

demais muito bom os dois

[@gubiks]

Song?

[@GrowingDownUnder]

You can see where MT Pops hip hop groove benefits him in battles, he's able to use that hip hop groove with his popping. Haven't seen many other poppers really using the hip hop groove with their popping except for maybe Hozin, Gator & Nelson... But how do you judge it? is it hip hop with popping or is it popping with hip hop? that's a tough one for the judges to decide here.

[@nicolemartin1782]

Love franticks reactions tho!!

[@markreyna4209]

Fuuuu FFS this year was stacked af!

[@totalunconcern]

Nelson can not not vote for his frenchies lol

[@chavoloco91]

C took that

[@ozrolz]

Poppin C is from Switzerland

[@BassLiberators]

C isn't French lol

[@lilwest95110]

Loool again people who dont know what they're talkin about C is swiss and its was really close (best flow of 2023 vs best strong popping) can understand nelson judgement

[@windywindy9491]

@@lilwest95110 then why he was in France team at KOD 2018?????

Menno 👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾🤸🏽‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️

[@Dreamz.Interstellartorium]

when a popping clip leaves you satisfied and unsatisfied at the same time. 2 mins total?

[@dementiasama2349]

i see big diffrents between styles but for me mt pop take it for sure

[@lNiizz]

MT didn't have to do him like that, gheeeeeeze hahaha

[@johnlyly7142]

only time ive seen poppin c aint get mad/look at the judges after he lost is against MT 😂

[@cordellgibson6037]

MT Pop is too technical and groovy smh

[@caturmuharjab5947]

poppin c for some move feel too force on side note : nelson tried his best to become "france judge" LMAO

[@bbd468]

Nelson is over rated. MT POP scorched that fool.

[@dementiasama2349]

music ?

[@Ab-xk9nl]

Popping c wannebe Greenteck lol

[@preciousnunique]

Kind of but he's earned it now -he's at a high level. I'm impressed by his progress

[@KNullHypothesis]

What in the 3rd grader mentality? It's totally fine to take inspiration from. It's what every dancer does lol

[@Ab-xk9nl]

​@@KNullHypothesis i agree with your statement. But this isnt "taking inspiration" anymore. This is full on copycat. From the way he tries to hit, The exact same moves. The swag... etc... there is a difference between being inspired and impersonating. Dude has no own personality in his dance... its given "i wanna be greenteck"

[@2kesmo]

C killed MT

[@birh]

Poppin C took that for me. He hits so hard and so clean. I thought it wasn't even close.

[@imkotable]

Popping is not just hitting, go read about popping styles, if this the case then Jaygee for example shouldn't even bother battling. Popping C doing is like doing a choreo, MT Pop is grooving

[@birh]

@@imkotable Agree, it's not just about hitting. But I think Poppin C bested him in most areas. His footwork and difficulty of his moves was also better. Just my opinion, clearly not a popular one though.

[@mimo19ess]

Groove, musicality ever heard of that.

[@birh]

@@mimo19ess Thought Poppin C was better at those too.

[@mimo19ess]

I know but MT Pop was fully in sync with the actucal song music and lyrics. You can put any song on Poppin C round and he'll on beat. The feel for music will always beat anything. Anyone nowadays can pop but the feel is what makes the difference. @@birh

[@BirdStalker32]

Honestly preferred Poppin C's round. I'm not seeing what other people are seeing in MT pop.

[@Longvis04]

????? currently, everyything need to creative to that thing make happy and drifting along to the music for audience. Style popin c is too older

[@smallw2003]

Mt pop is generally way stronger than this dont worry. Here popping C definitely won though, he is no joke himself

[@kamau506]

One guy was actually popping. He didn't win

[@preciousnunique]

Isn't MT Pop strutting and sacking? It's not boog but isn't it still popping?

[@kamau506]

Popping is also actually hitting@@preciousnunique

[@syazanidanish]

​@@preciousnuniqueas long as you contracting your muscle its considered popping. Strutting,Boogaloo and etc just a style

[@wtfJunk]

Enjoy your muscle contraction exercise then

[@kermitthefrogg123]
