tessa April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owSIpLjtcVA - Kendall's new video. They have many videos on youtube of the girls dancing to it and there is no sign of Nia in either the video or during the tour of Ireland or Australia - who's the new girl and what's going on? She's calling herself Kendall K - of course Abby is involved with this as we've already had Mac Z OK - from looking further the girls in the video are Kalani, Addison, Payton and Ryleigh - one of which is Kendall's sister - funny that they went for older girls and not more of the ALDC. Found Nia's Melbourne performance but I can't hear the words due to all the screaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q37SfdXJvYo Jojo did well and I'm glad they allowed her to be part of the performance. But how soon before she gets her own video with autotune off course. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-1008794
sofiah April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 Oh god... where are the intelligent adults in these kids lives to advise them to stop with the crappy music videos. I can kind of understand why 12 year olds think they can/should be pop stars... but shouldn't they have mothers, fathers, publicists, producers, etc. around that let them know better? I will say though that Nia looks much more comfortable on stage playing the role of a "pop-star" then I think Mackenzie ever does/did. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-1009303
Tasya April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 It's going to be interesting to see if they drop this entire "Mack-Z" thing with Mackenzie soon. It's obviously not going anywhere and sadly to say I just don't think Mackenzie has that "it" factor. She's just a normal kid, which there's nothing wrong with, but her mother and Abby just won't rest. In addition while having more studio time seems to be working for Maddie with the homeschooling thing, Mackenzie hasn't shown any noticeable improvement. They should really let that child go back to school and just chill out. I also believe that being in her sister's shadow is starting to show; in that video re: JoJo in Ireland she was particularly nasty. Regarding Nia, her little song is cute but I just don't think that Nia has the following to make it solely on her Dance Moms fame. She's going to have to get really, really lucky and snag someone's attention to have any sort of "stardom" after her time on Dance Moms. I have to believe that whether or not Dance Moms continues after this coming season (which is already filming) Nia won't be along for the ride. Based on age ( 14 this year) and storyline I think they'll phase her out. In general I think that either Dance Moms is going to end after this next season (the one currently filming) or they are going to have to make some sweeping cast changes. Kalani will be 15 this year and Nia 14. Maddie and Kendall will be 13. For the next season the avg. group age will remain the same as this current season (since age divisions are calculated by 1/1 of the year) but after that they would have to move up to teen as only JoJo and Kenzie would remain juniors. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-1009675

It doesn't help that Abby wants to keep them in juniors. So unless they bring in some younger kids, the show should end. It's ridiculous to see teens act like this. Especially Kalani. She looks like a grown woman. She has a mature face and body. She looks stupid dancing with this team. Honestly, I think some of the moms will have a more difficult time than the kids when the show ends. Particularly Jill (she likes the perks of the show more than the other moms based on what I've heard re: behavior at the comps), Kira (seems to have alienated her son in her quest for fame) and Holly (she destroyed her career for this mess).I wonder how they're going to go back to normalcy. Probably not. Melissa and Jill will try to pimp every last drop of their kids out. Holly I could see taking a break but I still give her the side eye.

spanana April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 While I'm not excusing any of this mess and I obviously can't hear Nia, she looks pretty comfortable on stage there. Girl has some stage presence and performance chops, or at least potential. With Kendall I'm expecting the opposite. Kendall is lovely and gorgeous, but she fades into the background even in regular ALDC numbers so I really can't see her having the it factor for a pop career either. Almost seems like Abby keeps picking the children who have the least chance at being successful for the whole pop star thing. While I don't expect anything to come of Nia's venture either, at least I can understand why somebody would try and make her a pop star. Kendall and Mack Z are never going to happen. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-1010835

tessa April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 gim - most times when there is an minor injury to a growth plate - there is no problem but depending where the injury was and how severe - there is a possibility that the injury could have stunted her growth. No different if there is an injury to a growth plate of a knee that hampers growth - the child may always have a slight limp on that side due to the injury. It's great to keep your kids active, otherwise many sit in the house on their latest tech device. But parents often go to the extreme with too much activity and the kids end up hurting themselves - which actually can damage their sports involvement in later years - we see this more and more. I couldn't really understand the words to Kendall's video either - but it reminded me of Cher and "If I Could Turn Back Time" It's been done before. In my mind - better to keep the teen-age girl idea ( aka Britney ) than go mature at her young age.

RealityCowgirl April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 (edited) I've kept my promise to myself and not watched the show since Chloe left, but I follow the discussions (and links) here. What are these people drinking that leads them to think these girls have futures as pop stars? The "pro dancer" story is questionable enough, but singers? Really? Acknowledging they seem to be perfectly lovely, normal, talented girls with more drive than many of their peers.

It's a Disney show so it was fine and not remotely the end of the world, but she's not natural at all. If acting is something she is interested in pursuing, girl needs to get working with an acting coach.

I have barely been watching Dance Moms so I hadn't seen her in awhile other than various TV appearances. She looked really pretty and it was great to see her wearing more normal looking dance clothes, plus no creepy wig. It was interesting though, I know those who aren't big fans always complain about her "falling out" of her turns and I never understood what that was exactly. I finally saw it in her DWTS performance, after watching all the adult pros dancing. I still think she's a very good dancer, but I could see what people were talking about. I hope she's really enjoying all of these amazing experiences she's getting to have, in case they fade away for her. It seems like she does appreciate it.

I guess it's all subjective, but in the 5 years this show has been on, I've only seen a few times where the costumes were questionable or inappropriate. Although, I tend to view costumes for what they're intended for, and would be much more concerned if their street wear resembled their stage wear. I have a lot of problems with this show but I've never had the impression Abby, Lifetime or the producers have exploited the girls in a sexual manner. They, including their mothers, have really tested and pushed the limits, and crossed the line in other areas for controversy and to create a buzz, but I've never feared sexualizing the girls as a recurring theme of Dance Moms. Although danger exist, it exist everywhere.

As are most of Molly Long's inappropriate for age dances - I don't care what coast you are on, I'd have never allowed my dancer to dance that crap. Even as a senior. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-2718616
tessat November 6, 2016 Share November 6, 2016 Next - I watched your links and have to agree that despite the dances being winning numbers - they were totally inappropriate - especially for youngsters. Showcased to the side of the link were a couple of video's of a young Ukranian pole dancer - and despite that pole dancing is usually associated with strippers - both of her routines were done with class and were beautiful - especially the lyrical piece. I enjoyed them much more than any of Abby's pieces lately and couldn't see either Brooke or Mackenzie with such precision and beauty doing something similar.

Two pieces are common at dance comps. The electricity dance the dm girls did had similar costumes to the dingle ladies girls. On the west coast this is common. Now the dance moves completely different story. Grinding and humping isn't dance. It doesn't help matters when you put little girls in teeny costumes and have them dance as if they were performing in Vegas. The minis are gorgeous dancers and can pull off lyrical and contemporary with no problems, why have them do all those silly sexualized movements? Like it or not pedophiles are going to find that attractive. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-2723489

A pedophile doesn't care what a kid wears. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-3011025

It would be the parents, not the kids fault. But I don't believe pedophiles care about clothing either. It's just tasteless to dress children in bras and underwear with sparkles. Tacky, no better than toddler pageants. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-3015508

tessat June 15, 2017 Share June 15, 2017 Interesting - ty for that - pretty much what I've thought for years! It's so sad that she lost confidence in herself due to Abby! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-3376479
sharkerbaby November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 So has no one been watching Dancing w/ the Stars Jr? Mackenzie has been competing and Maddie has shown up to dance a few times. I keep expecting someone to mention it here but so far... crickets. I personally hate that Mackenzie is on and find her extremely annoying but whatever. She looks way older than any of the other contestants and then just to further try to tip the voting to her favor she brings out Maddie I find the blatant pandering appalling. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/548-future-dance-stars-or-abused-pawns-the-girls/page/3/#findComment-4868590
