Just got back from Sungei Wang for a dance competition. It was the 3rd annual THop Dance Master. This time around, the few noteable crews weren't competing ie. Fundamental, Evo-I and Twister. The reason is that past champions or runners up are not allowed to compete.

But the biggest twist this time around is that these winners can participate but to a different name. Of course this bunch of group wouldn't want to trade thier household names just for the sake of winning the prize money of 2k. Or was it not?

Apparently last years winner, DT4 came back to compete but to a different name. So they started as favorites.

The 14 finalists were chosen from two qualifying rounds, and from my perspective these finalists could have been splitted again in two. The best bunch, and the losers. The best bunch are those who showed potential, or at least had an entertaining routine to perform. While those losers, were those who perasan that they could be as good as Rain in the video clip and Beyonce. Oh please.

So the result was out, my girl friends from Rogue came out champion. Second was crowd favorite Explicit and third was defending champ with the different name, Don't Touch Flame. Irony.

Rogue was 2nd runners up at last years National Hip Hop Challenge and a Top 5 Finalist at the Dance Supremacy. A new hip hop group that battles on tunes mostly from Beyonce, Destiny's Child and BEP. Anyway, Rogue consists of 4 girls from Sunway College but today has expanded thier wings to I think if not mistake 8 girls. The former leader was Sri KL's cheerleading captain Aina but since she left to UK last year, Rogue is now headed by Fara.
