We Are Heroes' performance from week 6, the VMA challenge. With rehearsal and judge's comments. Song: Vogue by Madonna. America's Best Dance Crew Season 4 champions.
Sad that I didn't realize that Madonna did not introduce vouging to the world nor did she invent it. The vouging scene was introduced to the world by black (men of colour) in a documentary called 'Paris Is Burning' and the vouging scene pre-dates that documentary by a lot of years. These men don't ever get credit for a culture that they started; Madonna capitalizes on it and never pays homage to them in the song 'Vouge' but she never fails to celebrate and mention a slew of all white actors/actresses and models.
PazazzEmperor I’m glad you became educated on the history of voguing and the ballroom scene. It’s true that a lot of young people are not aware of its originations and don’t even realize a lot of this culture and lingo is borrowed from the black/Latino gay/trans community. While Madonna failed to acknowledge its roots, I am at least glad to see that she used her platform as an icon to introduce this to the mainstream and publicly fought for the LGBT community in other ways.
I think it's unfair to say that she didn't give credit to those people. She had found out about them and liked their style so she incorporated it into her music. If she were asked about it back in the day, she always would've mentioned that she discovered the whole voguing scene in the gay clubs, so she would always tell that part. Plus, she also released "Truth or Dare" which really was a documentary about her life and her touring life, but just as much the life of her (mostly) gay, black/latino/arab backing dancers, who were really familiar with the voguing scene because they experienced it first-hand. Furthermore, she also really promoted safe sex and stuff - especially because of the whole AIDS crisis going on back then. She even wrote a song in freaking 1992 about two of her gay friends who died of AIDS. So I wouldn't say she didn't give credit, I think she did her part. She just didn't focus on the color of their skin but much rather on the fact that it shouldn't've mattered who they chose to love, because I think that while those clubs that voguing was invented in were filled mostly with non-whites, they were completely filled with drag queens and gay people.
@edro51188 personally I think MTV would sometimes rig the polls toward the end (possibly throughout the whole season) to ensure that their preferred crew wins. They knocked out Kaba Modern to make sure Jabba won, knocked out Fanny Pak to make sure Super Cr3w won, and did the same in season 4, although this time with Rhythm City. Season 5 was just all wrong. Season 3 has been the only season so far where the 2 best crews made it into the top two
I liked it, but I have to ADMIT, THAT I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVED TO SEE INSTEAD OF WAH, I WOULD LOVED VOGUE EVOLUTION TO DO IT! THEY WOULD KILLED THAT SONG TO DEATH!
@chichi13091 child plox, we are talking about vogue here. But it's kinda ironic the week after they leave the show the other group gets vogue. Did u see me talk bad about we are heroes? No! I was just making the statement that vogue evolution would werk it, even more! So don't come for me
Wow this is a really hard slap to the face. Not cool. Dancing to vogue by madonna RIGHT after vogue evolution was kicked out? Who picks the songs and why would they do that? o.o
I don't know, I think WAH did WAY better with the choreography than 8F, and there was a perfect balance between tricks and choreo to me. BUT the energy was kinda stagnant, which made the performance kinda bleh in certain spots. So I'll say 8F had the better energy, but WAH had the better choreography.
Just a random fact for you guys: Have you guys noticed that the crew that is voted to the finals in the top three has never won. Let's review: Status Quo- lost to Jabbawockeez So Real Cru- lost to Super Cr3w Beat Freaks- lost to Quest Crew Afroborike'- lost to We Are Heroes Blueprint Cru- lost to Poreotix How odd is that?!?
It's hard for home viewers to really judge this routine as far as the fans go, since the performance is so heavily edited, you can't really tell what's the actual performance and what's the rehearsal.
@quick123ish before you insult we are heroes, learn how to spell afroborike. and afroborike was all about tricks, they were alright, but they should'nt have been in the top 2.
@@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594 first of all 8 flavahz had a professional choreographer and already used the choreography before the show and it wasn't a vma challenge tell 8 flavahz to brang banging like we are heroes they choreo was more creative and difficult🤙🏼
@RamonThabomb please dont go there u know we are heroes is better thats why they won.by the way is u thaught that vogue evolution was better then why did u see this video.
yes its true...we can all see about the fan...at 2:01 she has no fan then at 2:02 she has it then at 2:03 she kick it away by her left leg...this competition is totally rigged...

They did really great, but it's kind of a slap in the face that they did this the week after Vogue Evolution left
AGREED!
YYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! they deserved the title of best dance drew!!
They are the best
❤❤❤
best performance of season 4
I think vogue evolution would've gotten this song
they could've killed it
JUST okay? Seriously Jc? They were amazing.
I wish the judges for the next season (season 7) is Shane Sparks, Kid Rainen and D-trix. Someone who actually know about dancing
How can even 5 users dislike this?!?!

Amazing! ♥ Loved it. Greetings from Italy : )
@kdcuad2010 He was all "everything is great, this was great, you guys were great, but the performance was ok." WHAT? Boo
I liked it, but I have to ADMIT, THAT I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVED TO SEE INSTEAD OF WAH, I WOULD LOVED VOGUE EVOLUTION TO DO IT! THEY WOULD KILLED THAT SONG TO DEATH!
Vogue Evolution would def smash it!
How convineint they got this challenge after beating vogue evolution
I can imagine that We Are Heroes got some choreo help from Vogue Evolution.
i automatically thought of ICONic Boyz wen they said 'iconic'
Sorry but 8 Flavahz KILLED them.
@chichi13091 child plox, we are talking about vogue here. But it's kinda ironic the week after they leave the show the other group gets vogue. Did u see me talk bad about we are heroes? No! I was just making the statement that vogue evolution would werk it, even more! So don't come for me
And then 8 Flavahs did this 10 times better on the show
Julianne Storms i do like WAH but i definitely agree with you!
Julianne Storms yasssssss
Lol in ur dreams may be!
Julianne Storms they really did,that performance was one of my favorites from them
.....but this one is more classical....and the routine, especially 'vouging' with the fan, is way better than 8 flavahs😎
Wow this is a really hard slap to the face. Not cool. Dancing to vogue by madonna RIGHT after vogue evolution was kicked out? Who picks the songs and why would they do that? o.o

Not bad.... I think 8 Flavahs would like We Are Heroes to hold their juice.boxes though.
Notice Ali's fan from 1:59 up to the screen where she's at the back of nichelle. It was gone.
Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution Vogue Evolution
they are in home while we are veroes killed this🤙🏼🙌🏻
Acutally, Allison doesn't hold up her fan at 2:01; at 2:02 she has it when everyone tosses theirs, and at 2:03 you can see her kick it away.
Just a random fact for you guys:
Have you guys noticed that the crew that is voted to the finals in the top three has never won. Let's review:
Status Quo- lost to Jabbawockeez
So Real Cru- lost to Super Cr3w
Beat Freaks- lost to Quest Crew
Afroborike'- lost to We Are Heroes
Blueprint Cru- lost to Poreotix
How odd is that?!?
edro51188 interesting observation🤔 i didnt know that.
no, its a catch.
try to pause every second from 2:00-2:02. it just bounced from her hand, but she still caught it.
@tp2005
I hope that wouldn't be the case, but it sure seems like it. As far as season 5 goes, I agree with you. It was definitely all wrong.
@RamonThabomb Vogue Evolution would KILL this. :D I agree. I Love WAH, but I totally get what you are saying. :D Omg that would have been awesome. :D
@thewontonboy lol no one is better than the Queen Miss, Leyomi
It's hard for home viewers to really judge this routine as far as the fans go, since the performance is so heavily edited, you can't really tell what's the actual performance and what's the rehearsal.
@MotionCitySoundtrac2 that would be interesting and i totally agree with u
werk sista
@PhReShx10
I already noticed that, I was just wondering if anybody else did. And on a serious note, there's no need for the name calling.
IDA Hollywood
She actually puts it on the floor at 2:04 to do that leg move I think :S
didnt it sound like hiro said personna 4 instead of madonna vogue
Signature Move Back Head Spring
@bethwater lol same !
@jackiej114 i think that's a scorpion
sorry the fan was at the audience...i stand corrected...
then at 2:13 to 2: 14 you can still see the fan at the right side of the sofa...
@jackiej114 I think group tutting
@quick123ish
before you insult we are heroes, learn how to spell afroborike.
and afroborike was all about tricks, they were alright, but they should'nt have been in the top 2.
@RamonThabomb wat ever..
