A MASTERPIECE
Honestly this show was amazing. Besides mnet and it's (surprisingly minimal) evil editing this seasoned shined with new and amazing talented dancers. I really appreciated the fact that they added foreign crews to the mix. Bear with me as I say a few things about the judges and the crews.
Judge Monica: I got to know and love Monica through swf1 and I got to say that she is extraordinary. She's an experienced dancer and choreographer and her judging was absolutely on point. I loved how she considered both technical and emotional aspects during judging and most importantly she gave great feedback to help other dancer grow.
Judge Shownu: We all know and love him which is why it saddens me to say that he wasn't fit to be sitting in the judging chair. We all know that he can dance but I believe that his lack of experience and advanced technical knowledge were holding him back. His feedback were mostly nice generalities I believe mostly because he wasn't confident to judge in such a high level. He certainly brought the star quality and I loved seeing him have fun and enjoy the dancers. I could see him as a future MC of the show (in case Daniel steps down which I hope he doesn't because he's amazing).
Guest judges: All of the guest judging brought something unique to the table but I think the one that stood out the most was Mike. I new off him before the show but I really got to explore his personality more and I really appreciated his fun and hype-y but also somewhat technical feedback.
Wolflo: Honestly I'm not really a big fan of hip hop but I've always admired how great hip hop dancer move their body and ride the flow of the song. Although their choreography occasionally lacked in ways they made up for it with their fierce battles. Their maknae really grabbed my attention with her fun but fierce personality.
Tsubakill: Not much to say. Amazing dancers, smart choreographers. They brought something new to the table but unfortunately they came off as somewhat arrogant and I think that was the reason they got eliminated first. I wish we could have seen more off them. My favorite member was Rena(if I remember her name correctly) I really liked her choreography for Twerk and her dance style.
LadyBounce: I didn't find them appealing at first to be honest but as the show progressed they grew on me more and more with each episode. They were really hardworking with witty choreography and great flow. My favorite member was definitely Capri. I just loved her bright attitude.
Deen N Dap: I really found the obnoxious at first and especially their leader Mina but slowly but surely they managed to prove themselves and have fun instead of trying too hard to be tough. I really got to appreciate Mina and her story and she quickly became my favorite among the crew.
1 million: Like everyone I follow and obsess over their choreography on YouTube. They are always smart and trendy with catchy moves but also highly technical. I think they were the best choreographers out of all the groups. My favorite member was def Redy since I've always enjoyed her dancing even before the show.
Mannequeen: I have no words for them. They were always on point. Their battles were jaw-dropping and their choreography was always smart and thought through. Their style is one of my favorites overall. I really like Redlic even before SWF2 but Cera really grabbed my attention within the group. Her battles were literally showstopping.
Jam republic:
I only really knew Kirsten bur I was the most excited for them when they got announced. I always loved Royal Family choreography (duh) and JR certainly didn't disappoint. Audrey was literally a revelation I think. Idk how she can be so powerful yet so tiny. I was mesmerized by her dancing since day 1. I'm excited to see more of her in the future.
Bebe: What can I say. They definitely deserved the victory. Their choreography was always smart and satisfying to watch. Their themes were catchy and their sync was out of this world. Although advertised as Bada and the girls I think that every single member proved themselves in the process. Tatter really grabbed my attention. Her dance lines were totally my cup of tea and she showed resolve and determination.
Overall I'm really excited for maybe another season in the future.
