To hotkarl (ya) and thebiglou (bet you are), have you even watched SYTYCD?! Do you ever get up from your couch except to go to your keyboard? You\'re making fools of yourselves. My family and I watch SYTYCD regularly and this kid is VERY talented, not only as a Krumper, but also to shine in other facets of dance that he never attempted before. Just to make the top 20 out of the thousands of very talented dancers is a major accomplishment, but I expect he will be around many weeks to come. Great job kid!

Congratulations and wish you well. Good for him! The same folks who go on and on about kids killing each other, selling drugs and our neighborhoods are the same ones who go off about kids who are actually trying to make a better way, funny.

Yayy!! Congrats to this young man! Keeping his dream alive and working hard for it! He is GOD's property so he can't and won't fail! He will suceed whether he makes the next round of this show or not! HotCarl, You're a donkey's rear! Maybe you will find something you love to put your energy into, instead of wishing failure on others! Best wishes to this young Man!! BRAVO!
