They changed the music to modernize it for the people who don't understand tradition but I like the traditional way

[@Kazooonoo]

i think they also modernized the music due to the lack of man power because all of them were in the lion costume TT

[@briann2329]

Boo!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! I always love lion dance! Booooo the judges

[@kimmo9127]

the first judge kinda just wanted to get rid of the culture and style of lion dancing

[@anonymous-ui5el]

[@Starkatt]

Ye

[@Kazooonoo]

the fact that he wanted a bts of how lion dance is and said america thinks its lame but proceeds to continue sitting in a damn chair saying a moving a message to talented singers, magician and dancers🤥

[@giantasiansticker8068]

I think that they should’ve showcased their martial arts skill as well

[@BlackKitty73]

I really miss the traditional chinese music.

aviici's levels was perfect for this audition. Loved the end where all the lion heads snapped toward the judges. Such a unique audition.

[@BLACKroseGABRIELLE]

i love the dance rally much only thing is the song it's such a shame

[@trust5977]

Was reminded of this today. Searched it out and found it. Watching this on AGT brought me great joy. You are all amazing.

[@LeeXiuLing]

The judge is so rude af for what? For the culture and the style of the lion dance,what di they expect the lion dance to do a break dancing? The performance is incredibly awesome!! Can't they even see or at least know the lion dance is actually hard to do because of the training and the head also not that easy to hold it's really heavy

[@LeeXiuLing]

Also the first judge keep saying "this is American" like what? Seriously man? So what when it's American, people aren't allowed to perform other/any culture to perform in America? Pretty lame to hate on Lion Dance for it.

[@LeeXiuLing]

But hear me out the music also didn't match it they should atleast use traditional music to fit with it the lion is too much and make it hard to interact they should at least make the lion 3 or 2.

[@Kazooonoo]

THIS IS FACTS!!! this needs to be heard

[@Kazooonoo]

@@LeeXiuLing FRRR The fact that they don't go saying "ah its the 10th time on this show and singing, dancing and magic acts are boring" and the lion dancer are bringing good luck/chase away evil spirits show they don't realise

[@Kazooonoo]

the lion dance* the fact the first judge told them to do a bts is utter bs already the whole point of lion dance is the costume and the way its staged out not seeing the bts☠☠

[@setofirons7539]

I like the performance but I would have been really excited if they added traditional music and an actual jong routine

[@Pwof]

Set Of Irons that would also be pretty good, and don’t forget to add in martial arts

idw to be those people who like say white people like this, but like i have seen lion dance(without the poles)for 10yrs so far and is still amazed by it but like asking them to dance without the costume and saying it was boring was kind of off already..the whole purpose of lion dance was the lion costume not the bts, wouldn't say im too disappointed but YALL DID SO GREAT!!(i was looking forward to the drums and not like some upbeat music)sometimes i wish people gots to appreciate lion dance and the dancers because all of this is dangerous especially when with polesTT

[@peternguyen1321]

It was amazing

[@ethanliew2550]

Bro, americans judging the culture of what they are suppose to do. They cannot just judge a culture and making it change NO. They are lucky they got this performance. Most of these performance seen in Malaysia is often but they have 2-3 lions most likely. They're lucky they ain't the culture and get to see 7 lions at once. Especially the first judge, he is not respecting the culture. He said it as if he owned the culture. UNGRATEFUL

[@Michaelcham93]

Ok the music sounds deferent

[@misterhill5598]

3 things: 1. They have too many lions on stage, which reduce the uniqueness of the lion dance. They should reduce it to 2 lions only. The 2 lions interacting with each other in different ways would be way more interacting and something American audience can get into. 2. The music should be traditional music as well. 3. The first judges have no historical context. This is the wrong show to be on. The group could have done some martial art group exercise then as they progress, keep the lion as their last act, their ace card. Even the Chinese audience in China would be bored of the same lion dances are being done over and over, with increasing difficulty / dangerous level. This is the effect of having too much of the good thing that it no longer special.

[@giantasiansticker8068]

I’m going to be honest I really don’t see how they stepped it up

[@timo3458]

mau ikut belajar barongsai dimana belajar nya

[@eyegan485]

they shouldve used traditional chinese music

[@Kazooonoo]

idt they could have played the traditional ver because of lack of men power TT

[@ahnnhi8433]

I think for a show like AGT, you would need to start by teaching the audience the cultural/ historical context of what they're doing, make it interactive and funny educating and then showing the performance with a few lions at a time. There's too much going on all over the place with all those lions, I think the audience looses focus. It looked like they were all just jumping around with no particular "plot", story line, or purpose. Also, terrible choice in music... needs to be more traditional. I honestly thought I was watching down time during the performance but maybe it's just bc of the camera work? It reminded me if telecallcenters when the cameras pan out with no particular focus and showing all the callers on the line before they actually bring up a person for on the air interview or to share their progress with gaining financial support.

They stepped it up a whole notch but to untrained eyes, it looks just like another lion dance. They trained for all the right move but showed it to the wrong audience.
