He's phenomenal, I remember seeing this audition back then. Plus he was comedic and had so much poise, it's definitely not easy. Cool twist on popping, definitely inspiring!!
Everything about this dance is still priceless. The look on the judges faces. The laughs are legit because this was truly difficult to comprehend at the time.
I remember watching this audition on TV. It was so insane to watch this guy perform. He didn't go very far in the overall competition but his animations were so sick in that day and age.
For the people who are saying this isn't dancing, look a the definition. dancing: move rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps. "their cheeks were pressed together as they danced"
+Anthony L it's dancing. it's popping. this guy is ok, but there are way better. look up for pacman, mike song and di moon zhang. then you will notice why it's dancing.
+Bunnylambe yes you're correct - it is technically dancing - but it's old. this is yesterday's news. I was actually expecting intense progressive performance art. this is just breaking and popping - it's a little to 1980's for me.
You guys are forgetting that this was in 2009.... Back then that was so sick because nobody danced like that before, now everyone can do that and way more but you got to respect the old dancers cuz they the ones who started it
+Darrell Beausivoir popping started back in 1970's maybe even earlier its called G-style. and after that the electric boogaloos created the boogaloo style. those are the real Old dancers which you should respect. search it up bro.
+Darrell Beausivoir 2009??? dude you are WAYYYYY off xD its been going since the 70s and was huge in the 80s especially died out in 90s came back late 2000s xD its not new and hasnt progressed like you think it has
Oh the memories...seriously, one of the best auditions of all time! Wish he didn't give up on himself in Vegas, or wish he came back a season or two later after training other styles.
It may not seen as impressive now but back in 2009 when this was made , these were fresh and new moves. Now many of these moves were overused, everybody does them. RESPECT to the pioneers.
Joyful Amoeba Not necessarily. Greenteck is the best popper in the world right now and he only has a few thousand subs. Robert has the SYTYCD exposure, but bboy is just a thing of the eighties ,as far as mainstream culture is concerned. The thing about poppers is that they are more about the battle, and the prize money that pays the rent. It's a way of life, more than just a form of art. This is what Robert is about. That's why I love popping and not modern fluff dance.
This was old youtube days, where back then, he was considered the best dancer ever, or could've been. Nowadays though, there's now tons of great epic dancers in videos on RUclips, so now alot of us have gotten accustomed to seeing stuff like this on epic levels.
What I loved about this is its entertaining and comedic. There aren't a lot of dancers who can make you laugh just with them moving their body to music. He's a legend for sure.
What I just HATE is having a dance act on, you know, something where you have to watch the performer, but the director thinks it is more entertaining to watch the judges. If that is the skill that is required, I want to be a TV director.
I don't even dance my thing nearly as good as he dances his. But I dance, he doesn't. What an artist, for sure, a choregraphist even, but that is not dance.
This would’ve been more appreciated with some other judges I know who these people are and the show but he paygrades way above them but ultimately we knew he was just on the wrong kind of dancing show 😅😅😅 they don’t know half of what this man was really out there doing 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not sure how *you* play chess, but most people play it sitting down. So no, you wouldn't be dancing. If you was doing an interpretative dance and THEN moving your piece, then yeah you'd be dancing.
This may have been pretty amazing at the time, which it still is, but now there are other animation dancers that are much more impressive than him. You know, like Kida, JujuBeatz, Jaja, Fik-Shun, Les Twins, Phoenix Lil Mini, Poppin' Jun, Lil Motormouth, Merrick, Tekboi J, etc. There's a lot that are on a whole other level now.
This was amazing 7 years ago, at the time people would've said he was the greatest dancer but now? Times changed this is nothing now, still good but not world class
+Antoine Dennison Brother this is not a unique style its called Poppin and Lockin originated and performed by brothers (blacks) prior to this performance. I give him props though for putting his own little spin on it.
Wow, you guys. Why so much hatred and animosity towards a guy that doesn't have any negative effect on our lives, but is in fact incredibly talented in his own right? And why hate those who enjoy it? One of the major causes of our world problems today is that we won't put petty differences aside and come together in the spirit of unity while still allowing each other our individuality. Man, we complain so much about war, hatred, racism, violence, etc. yet here we are keeping it alive by commenting in such a negative manner simply because the guy doesn't dance exactly how each of us defines dance. If we ever hope to survive and leave behind a world worth living in for those that will come after us, we've got to stop being this way. It's a person's right to not care for his style, but to respond to it with such animosity towards him and others accomplishes nothing. I'm not attempting to be controlling of others' opinions or thoughts, but I would like to encourage everyone to be a little more open-minded and see what love and respect can do for our world.
I seriously dont have an attitude but what I find humorous is other countries constantly trying to put us down or make us look stupid in some way like its validated. " Ohhh my gaaaaaaaad". Please,if you ask me its you that has the attitude. "Jealously doesn't look good on you" Face it if we didn't exist this world would be a lot different and not for the good either. Another thing its pretty easy to make fun of the way I look when you dont post a pic of yourself, whats the matter you afraid of what the mean American will say about your appearance.
Haha, you mean what good? the divisions your country has caused in the middle east and elsewhere, you think your all that?? come on, anyway the message was tongue in cheek, hence the smile at the end, you on the other hand unlike everyone else, decided to reply in a pompous manner which I must say looking at your face wouldn't surprise me, they say genetic features and vain self importance of worth go hand in hand....believe me, you ain't all that

So many dancers have taken his moves and used them in many years after this audition.
Amazing skills, and i love coming back to watch these moves 👌
It may not seen as impressive now but back in 2009 when this was made , these were fresh and new moves. Now many of these moves were overused, everybody does them.
RESPECT to the pioneers.
Good lord. Watching this guy dance on LSD would be unfathomable. It freaks me out.
Wow haven't tried that yet ,😹👽
I feel like a challenge has been set.
Though some might not want to admit it, I believe this to be the modern mime. Art is art. This is wonderful. Simply brilliant.
2020 and still as amazing as the first 323 times I´ve watched the legend!
I was mesmerized, both by his moves and his interpretation of the music. To the nay sayers, he is an entertainer in the purest sense of the word.
To all those who say that's not dancing: Dancing is Art - and this guy is a brilliant artist.
I swear he looks like spencer from icarly
