Was the Lux Music Video Orchestrated in Dance Moms S1E12?

[@SleepyKiwi73]

I’m so bothered by everyone telling Kenzie to stop crying all the time. She was what, 6 at the time? 6 year olds cry. They’re still learning emotional regulation. Maybe if they took the time to get to the root of the problem instead of calling her a baby and telling her to stop crying she would’ve cried less. It honestly a miracle all the girls are as well adjusted as they are.

[@ckilbarger01]

I feel like Melissa caught on early that if the kids cry on camera it will most likely make the show and that it wouldn't be put in a favorable light and that's more why Mackenzie was being told not to cry. Christie and Kelly have mentioned that Melissa was notorious for herding her girls to the bathroom if they seemed like they were going to cry so they wouldn't do it on camera

Nia went through so much racism at a very young age

[@Black-Cat1127]

She did. I don't deny that. But for this video they wanted a little girl that Lux could have looked like as a child. Nia wouldn't have obviously fit. As young as she was, she was aware of that. She was so mature for her age and the most self aware out of all the girls.

[@simplystreeptacular]

Yes, but not getting picked for the video wasn't it. Acting, singing, dancing - it's not about who's "the best", but about who's the best fit for the part. If you don't have the right look or the right energy, you don't get the role - that's showbusiness.

Oh God i literally physically winced when you read that they said Nia performed *the BEST* but didn't have _"the look"_ . Kind of understandable in this very specific instance since it was supposed to be a younger Lux, but her whole childhood she endured a teacher who had already dismissed Nia's potential bc she didn't think Nia "fit in in Hollywood" & i think we all know the coded message in that was (cough cough* RACISM). Nia was a freaking trooper on this show man.

[@natk4017]

@maevereynolds6344 so... you wanted her to be lied to? She was being prepared for the roles that were available to her at that time (remember this was YEARS ago). Dance is still very much segregated, and it goes both ways. I'm sure white dancers have a rough time making it into Beyonce videos. It's just a reality these young *professionals* have to be *prepared* for when they audition. I think they shouldn't have had her audition at all, if it was real life she would have skipped the audition and auditioned for a role more suited to her. They set her up to fail, but that doesn't mean it's unfair, it's an uncomfortable reality they forced everyone to confront.

I can’t imagine how bittersweet this must have felt for Chloe knowing she won the part; but nobody actually wanted her to get the part. No wonder Christi said she looked miserable. It seems like every time Chloe got any good opportunity, she could never really enjoy it bc everyone else always had some negative feeling or something to say. Poor Chloe.

[@corimoon3360]

@journee🧚‍♀️ No she didn’t. Paige’s overall look was a little too “bright” for Lux and Chloe’s looks just seem closer aside from their makeovers. I already know they chose Chloe to continue the Chloe v Maddie rivalry and I know Lux wasn’t an actual artist lol. Doesn’t change my opinion that it still made the most sense to me to cast Chloe as Lux and she deserved that role because she’s talented no matter if they only chose her to use it for a storyline. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I suspect that the production had the final say and ultimately went with Chloe because they had spent the whole season pitting her and Maddie against each other, and edited Maddie into more of an antagonist. They needed a big Chloe victory at the end of the season for their story’s sake. This is probably also why this episode aired last.
