RazzleberryPie May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 The only think that doesn't 'look DCC' with Saundra is her natural hair. I think she's gorgeous, and like the curly hair, but they seem to want to relax all the AA girls' hair. 4 Link to comment

Guest May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I heard no fan vote this year either. It's a fun way to get to see the girls but probably not a great way to judge them when they're wiped out from back to back 12 hour days. As someone else said, it's not a true reflection of who fans want in TC, it's a social media contest. 20 minutes ago, Kitkatkitty said: Chenise Johnson!

M1977G May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 The fan vote may not have been a true reflection of fan choice and more about social media popularity/savvy, but I'm with those who liked the advanced glimpse of the rookie candidates. It's what first put DCCs like Mary, Heather H, and Heather O on my radar. I also liked actually getting to see some of the girls dance who didn't end up being shown dancing on the show. Plus, it did kind of reveal which returning candidates had or had not improved significantly in their choreo retention or "performance power and projection." Sigh. 6 Link to comment

I've loved the fan vote for that reason every year. Not because of the actual voting aspect, but it helped me pick my candidates to watch each season. I'm really disappointed that we aren't getting videos of the combo this year, and it's actually a good combo this time around! Sigh. 7 Link to comment

Im bummed too, I used the fan vote videos to do my own kind of judging thing. Watching them and recording my thoughts and opinions and then comparing to who actually makes the team. Like you said, it's a good way to get to know the girls and their style. 4 Link to comment

I've followed this forum for about year and a half, but never got the courage to join until now.... ;D Ansley is very cute, but I'm pretty sure in one of the DCC twitter videos from auditions you can see her (second right to left) and her kicks are super low for what DCC wants... Yeah you are right about Ansley!! I figured they loved her because she was one of their featured pics BUT her kicks were terrible. Link to comment

sleepyjean May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I like her too! She is really fun to watch. I almost don't even care if she's doing the dance well. She just looks like she's having fun in a totally UN-self-conscious way, like she'd be having that much fun whether you were watching her or not. It's a big contrast to some of the other videos that seem like "Look how cute I am, do you see this? Do you see how cute I'm being right now? Look at this sexy move I'm about to do right here. Did you see that? Wasn't that sexy?" 4 Link to comment

Maybe because only one winner went on to become a DCC? Maybe family and friends were voting to help certain girls get in who quite frankly would not have made it into TC without the fan vote. To me, it was like a high school popularity contest. Plus the fact, in my opinion, a girl should make TC on her own merits, not because family and friends voting her into TC. Link to comment

Smplsimon May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I'm glad -- the fan vote is so stupid. It only rewards the girl who goes out and gets the most saps to vote for her, it's no reflection of the talent level of these girls. 7 Link to comment
RazzleberryPie May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 No fan vote is disappointing. It was fun. I don't think it ever knocked a better candidate out of training camp, or pushed a bad one onto the team. I guess I always saw it as a fun, interactive marketing tool, not anything that actually mattered or had any weight as to who made the team. So I'm disappointed, but will survive. 6 Link to comment

Season 5 had all the returning vets making it to TC, but Amy R. was cut in TC. Season 8 I think had 30 vets trying out again, but three were cut at finals, Courtney Cook left before TC started and of course, Chelsea was cut during TC. Link to comment
sleepyjean May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I don't miss the fan vote, but I do wish they'd post photos of the finalists. Even if there's no voting, it's still a good way to engage the fans. 5 Link to comment
