Alicia I love this movie so much
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
zaclambz Can be frustrating.Overall a decent show. Way too many commercials and I mean it's a ridiculous amount of them. More commercials than the actual show. Easy to tell who the judges want to win at times.
spottedleaflover I enjoyed this show for the most part. The judges, however, were EXTREMELY biased. Jennifer Lopez was the worst. She played favorites from the start, any Latino group or boy group she found "cute". She scored the groups she liked exceptionally high, even if they weren't very good. And if she didn't like someone, such as Eva who is an incredibly amazing dancer, she would score them really low. Derek was the only judge who didn't judge based on favorites. Yes, he had favorites. But he judged fairly. That is another thing- the scoring was not consistent. The "reasons" for the scoring changed every round and were not consistent between groups. Eva Igo should have won. The other group had someone injured who danced in a wheelchair, and somehow won because of J-lo. So they moved on, and because of Jennifer Lopez's favoritism they won the competition. Eva had an incredible dance, they did not.
natemoney Hope the hosts enjoyed their last season. All of America wanted Eva Igo (an actual American) to win and all of America now thinks the judges fixed the outcome. The fact that the twins who had a technically flawed routine with little to no synchronization yet still won has the entire group I watch with feeling cheated and having a bad taste in their mouths.
playnasc **SPOLIERS**I really wanted to like this show, and the lineup for Season 1 seemed pretty promising. However, the major flaw in this show are the judges (specifically JLo). The judges change their criteria for scoring every week and it can vary from improvements from last performance, innovation, or overall wow factor. There is no "set" scoring criteria for what the judges should base their scores off of, its basically based off on how each judge is feeling that day. For example, the Jabbawockeez lost because the judges were looking for "something new" since the Jabbawockeez have such a successful past and diverse portfolio. However, other dancers were scored off of how well they performed at the duel in question and not judged against their past. Unfair reasoning and judging like this is what makes this show lose all of its credibility. Now the reason why I called out JLo at the beginning was because she plays favorites. The most recent episode (8/1), had Swing Latino beat the Kinjaz. This elimination infuriated me the most because Swing Latino do not deserve to be in the division finals, but JLo has carried them to where they are today by continuously giving them high scores. On top of that JLo ACTUALLY EMPLOYED Swing Latino for her performances in the past (American Music Awards 2013,2015) and if this isn't blatant bias then I don't know what is. Now if you happen to think my review is bias then I think you should look at the polls and comments on the World of Dance Youtube and Twitter pages. Many viewers just like me have watched this show go downhill and expressed their frustration throughout these bias episodes.If this show had fan voting, the clear winners would move on every week and none of this controversy would exist today. The only credible judge here is Derek but Neyo and JLo gotta go.
