LaurenBrook May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 Another photo album from finals up at prodancecheer.com and while there I saw this article...trying to figure out when she wrote it.

Twinkle May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 The only thing "Miss Shelbi's Doll" said which made sense to me was the part about spending money on your solo costume. I absolutely noticed a few ladies ( hi, Madeline)clearly do NOT have the funds (or wealthy parents like Shelbi)who can stream endless dollars into trying out repeatedly. Their costumes appear downright plain next to some of the blinded out versions. That does have to be hard for a younger woman yet rewarding when you make TC on what actually matters = your merit, your TALENT. That combined with work ethic beats what parents try to do for a less hard-working or less-talented adult-child (who also sounds super entitled with an even more obnoxious bf). 3 Link to comment

tobeyoungagain May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 Where can I find the compilation of the dances at finals? Yeah I agree Melissa has huge propensity to be heavy... I don't know what it is but she definitely has thick legs, cankles, and hips. I can see post DCC when she hits her 30s, she "blossoms" into a larger girth. Megan seemed to have gained a little weight but she's so incredibly talented (and for some reason, I don't see it as much on her as I do on Melissa). Weird I know. Stephanie - sorry still scary. It annoys me to see her on the team. Kat and Caila - sucks they didn't make it but I applaud their positive and mature postings. It must suck to be Caila and to be cut after two years! I wonder if she hadn't gained the weight and if she hadn't gone partying, if she could have saved her spot. Her dancing seemed ON. I am surprised that everyone looked so happy during the TCC group photo. I guess they didn't feel that badly about Kat and Caila??? 3 Link to comment

MyFavShows May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 (edited) I could take a basic dancewear or bathing suit top and bling it out with stones to be an amazing audition outfit (a lot better than most of those tacky dallaswear tops) - years as a dance mom have at least given me this skill ;). However, stones are extremely expensive themselves (assuming one uses the better Swarovski ones). You can easily spend $200 on stones alone even when bought at the cheaper online discount site, and then you need to take the time glueing them on w/ smelly glue fumes all around you. If you want to look nice, I think you just got to count on spending a good $300 on an outfit (either stones on something basic, or a dallaswear costume). $300 is really not that much in relation to all the other stuff invested in the tryout out - dance classes to prep, travel costs just to get to and stay in Dallas if out of town, hair coloring, tanning, shoes, tights, etc. I'm not a Madeline fan (think she's spoiled and a crybaby/drama queen), but regardless, IMO she took a huge risk in wearing something so plain for her audition. She's lucky she can dance well and they knew her from last year cause it could have cost her. I remember her solo costume from last year was a cheap mass produced item from a catalog called dancewear solutions and it wasn't even blinged (another huge risk when she was dancing up against girls w/ mostly custom costumes) - I wonder what she wore this year for her solo.

Oranaiche May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 I agree with a lot of the stuff being said about Shelbi, especially if she was a part of the drive-by-commenting that her boyfriend did on Charlottes Instagram. However, I don't think it's fair to assume that she didn't work hard, or that she worked less hard than people who have less money for audition costumes or are less supported by their parents. Didn't Shelbi post a ton of videos from prep classes? Half of the videos that were getting posted here of other people at classes had Shelbi in the background. I personally think Shelbi worked really hard, but working hard doesn't always translate into getting the job you want. I think Shelbi could take ten dance classes a day and she still wouldn't be the best dancer. Some people just have more ability than others. Anyway, again, I'm not defending bad behavior whatsoever. 1 Link to comment
Guest May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 She went to a lot of prep classes but she was never really that good. There was a noticeable difference between her and one other girl, I forgot if she was dancing near Caila? maybe. Link to comment

All I'm saying. 1 Link to comment

LaurenBrook May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 I guess I didn't see anyone specifically saying Shelbi didn't work hard; I think most people here would agree she put in the time for classes and prep, etc. And heck, she has the money for a blinged out costume and top choreography - won't fault her for that either. I don't even know what to recommend for her...it's like she needs to do something where she is constantly having to learn a bunch of new stuff. Like Morgan, it's really the memory that kills her but unlike Morgan, she doesn't have the performance quality where J&K were willing to try overlooking it. People have mentioned Shelbi by name on that pic of Charlotte's at this point so yeah, I'd be a little surprised if she tried out for DCC again. Also interesting that Kat Dunn either deleted her comment defending the girls or it was removed. 4 Link to comment
bigskygirl May 25, 2016 Author Share May 25, 2016 I do not think Morgan had the performance quality to make the team. Judy was not happy with her at all. I think Kelli was the one who wanted her on the team for some reason. Imo, if three one year vets were not cut at finals, Courtney did not leave before TC started, and Chelsea was not shown the door, Morgan and Kaitlyn would have had a snowball chance in heck of making it.

Twinkle May 25, 2016 Share May 25, 2016 My dislike of Shelbi began during the last audition cycle of TC. I give many of the "criers" a break since I was also (&still am actually )a weeper. I'm emotional. ..always have been. If I had flown to Dallas at the tender age of 18 (Holly @ aged 18 lives with her Mom who moved to Dallas with her. Kinda wondering if these young ladies might now move out & get an actual apartment together?)I'd have been a terrified, crying, insecure mess. I don't think that makes them manipulative but I do understand why some dislike or are uncomfortable with it. I look at it like this; instead of moving away for college, they're moving away for a possible 3-month dance interview. The out-of-state or country women are basically alone. If you come from a family with limited means....well, you get my point. I recall seasons past when Danielle & Carisa struggled financially among several others. My point with Shelbi might sound petty but she is spoiled. Now, I have an adult son who we jokingly call the "Prince" - he's my only child & not exactly suffering in his life...its normal to want to give kids as much as possible yet still allow them to actually grow into independent adults. Shelbi's past social media has been whiney & uber-spoiled = waaaa, I got ink on my Louis Vuitton & now I'm down to just 2 "good" LV'S. I sh*t you not, she wrote this. Another instance she was moving in with obnoxious bf & showed pics of granite counters, flooring etc then complained about it to her Mom. I have yet to deduce either of these 2 as paying rent on their own. They sound too pretentious to be earning this themselves. If I'm wrong, I will stand corrected. In the meantime I'm not totally surprised to see this implosion on behalf of Shelbi's bf or family. 6 Link to comment

I totally get and agree with all of this, and wow that Shelbi really wrote that about her Louis Vuittons. That's nauseating! I have never been team Shelbi and never will be. I think she is an individual with some undesirable character traits, and while she has put in a lot of hard work on the dance aspect of the job (financed by her parents more than likely, and while it doesn't really show in her dance ability, she has still put in the hours), I personally think she will never be a strong candidate in the other things being a DCC requires. 17 minutes ago, Twinkle said: My dislike of Shelbi began during the last audition cycle of TC.

I would love to see what kind of man calls this entire group of women such vile things and then decides to single out Kelsey. It smacks of nothing but pure jealousy and entitlement. It also sounds 1000% NOT TRUE. He posted that it was a DCC sloppy drunk and kissing a guy in a bar. Kelsey at the time would have been an Ice Angel NOT DCC (yet). Also...Kelsey has an Alpha looking boyfriend. I know if acnyone ever said anything like that about me, oh yeah...my husband would NOT let that fly. I think Mister Shelbi Doll will have some explaining to do. And the fact that Shelbi defended him AFTER these comments says everything I need to know about her character, ever.

ccr5678 May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 I know I said I'd sign off unless something happened but I'm lurking lol. yes Kelsey is a little bit of a partier and goes out, BUT handles herself like a lady. Has a SINGLE drink and I've never seen drunk or tipsy. Plus she's 22 or 23? She's of age, handles herself well and she doesn't have a weight problem so I don't see the issue. I know Josh (her bf) is a minor local celebrity in his own right. Shelbi grew up in rockwall/Heath. Some people from that area are kind of country or a little snobby. Girls like Hunter and Michelle Keys grew up with a little money (just above average, nothing to brag about) so they have a good sense of grounding. Shelbi is just a spoiled princess. Her and her boyfriend started dating when she was 18 so I think he's almost 30 now? I know he graduated from SMU like 7 years ago or so. They're an odd couple... Amys solo was adorable. I loved it. 2 Link to comment

Kinda wondering if these young ladies might now move out & get an actual apartment together?)I'd have been a terrified, crying, insecure mess. I don't think that makes them manipulative but I do understand why some dislike or are uncomfortable with it. I look at it like this; instead of moving away for college, they're moving away for a possible 3-month dance interview. The out-of-state or country women are basically alone. If you come from a family with limited means....well, you get my point. I recall seasons past when Danielle & Carisa struggled financially among several others. My point with Shelbi might sound petty but she is spoiled. Now, I have an adult son who we jokingly call the "Prince" - he's my only child & not exactly suffering in his life...its normal to want to give kids as much as possible yet still allow them to actually grow into independent adults. Shelbi's past social media has been whiney & uber-spoiled = waaaa, I got ink on my Louis Vuitton & now I'm down to just 2 "good" LV'S. I sh*t you not, she wrote this. Another instance she was moving in with obnoxious bf & showed pics of granite counters, flooring etc then complained about it to her Mom. I have yet to deduce either of these 2 as paying rent on their own. They sound too pretentious to be earning this themselves. If I'm wrong, I will stand corrected. In the meantime I'm not totally surprised to see this implosion on behalf of Shelbi's bf or family. Just speculation, but sometimes, people like Shelbi, who come from privilege, think if they invest time & money into something then it should automatically be handed to them. Remember when she was crying in TC that it was "so hard on her" to see her friends make it on the team and not her? It was all about her. When you've grown up getting what you want, you don't handle rejection well. That's obvious by the BF comments and her backing his actions. Well, you reap what you sow, and that's probably going to blackball her in a few circles around there. Not a smart move. 3 Link to comment

However, I don't think it's fair to assume that she didn't work hard, or that she worked less hard than people who have less money for audition costumes or are less supported by their parents. Didn't Shelbi post a ton of videos from prep classes? Half of the videos that were getting posted here of other people at classes had Shelbi in the background. I personally think Shelbi worked really hard, but working hard doesn't always translate into getting the job you want. I think Shelbi could take ten dance classes a day and she still wouldn't be the best dancer. Exactly..... 1 Link to comment
Bailey3606 May 26, 2016 Share May 26, 2016 (edited) I'm looking at Shelbi Crawford's FB page and literally every single picture is a selfie. It makes me feel kind of bad because it seems like she has no friends. https://www.facebook.com/ShelbiCrawfordONLY1/ Her body used to look unbelievable!
