Bring It On the Battlegrounds

Fast paced action, 

Bright Lights,

Cheering masses,

Smooth guys,

Beautiful ladies,

and equally beautiful hosts.

All these and more were present when 

Astro Battlegrounds burst on to the scene at Sunway Pyramid last weekend.

I've heard of the competition over the past two years,

but this was the first time I was able to witness the competitors as they take to the stage.

I was particularly motivated by a group that I recently discovered

at the Hennessey Artistry at mist club

These group of girls were the backup dancers for ZE

but in my opinion they stole the show...

these girls are known as SoulKrazy

and living up to their name is what caught my attention

after all who is not attracted by characters who are not afraid to have fun

even if others may think of them silly

forget all the haters..

after all, how many ladies you know are confident enough to dress up as men

even though they look good enough for a coca-cola ad,

or to bring the Scottish jig into style

Aside from my bias, I was greatly impressed by the other crews

as they came out to play

they were still dedicated 

to the point that they even gave the shirt off their back

and endangering their health with acrobatic skillz

and despite trying to blow away the competitors

each crew perform with perfect grace and passion

 

they displayed perfect sportsmanship by 

showing love and respect after their battles

The dedication of the audience was as equally admirable...

not only did they come to enjoy the show,

they didn't even want to risk missing a moment, not even to eat,

 

 and they came armed to record the days event...

be it small

or big camera's...

The success of the event was not only due to the battling crews,

but also a great deal to the eloquent emcee's

Gan Mei Yan (just found out she's a radio DJ)

and Serena C

not only were they professional when the camera's were rolling

but they made things fun for themselves and the crowd

(not sure what's with the skirt swaying here)

And the judges not only judged 

but put on a show of their own to the thrill of the crowd

Marcus

Loose Joint

and Aga Swiftlockers

and all would not be possible without the DJ to spin some phat beats

But end of the day, the event has everything to do with the crews
as they strut their moves

and moved as a team
 
 whether they chose to have their settings 

in the past

or rock and rolling it in the future

and at the end of it all, the crews anxiously awaited their fate

do they battle to be the best

or they had to bust a move

to be the last ones standing

At the end of it all, it was a nice way to end the weekend

can't wait for the finals on Dec 18th!
