Held at The City Club Alphaland Makati Place as a part of Bruno Mars 24k Magic tour on May 10, 2018. Jabba the Dawn - Jabbawockeez -TJ Lewis 2019 JBWKZ Records
I think the best thing about being anonymous as a dance crew is that when you’re dancing there really isn’t a “main one” and people can’t pick favorites. No one person watches for just one person that they think is hot, they watch for the whole crew. Also everyone gets a spot in the limelight.
Unless you’re michael Jackson in a mask, in which case everyone still watches just you. Bc... well.... he was michael jackson. Watch any clip of michael with a troupe behind him doing the same exact movements.
The mask and the outfits makes the performance look much cleaner and it somehow accents every move they make. Therefore your eyes are more focused on the body movements versus the face.
Alberto David Jr I really appreciate dance, considering i was a dancer for 15 years, and I still think the vibe changes without the masks and the costumes. And ur right, it does differentiate them which is exactly what changes the vibe cuz normally when u watch them it seems almost like one moving piece but seeing them each with different clothes and obviously different faces (lol) then it looks less cohesive and the cohesiveness is exactly what makes the jabbawockeez so dope. The dancing is exactly the same but the vibe and the atmosphere that the masks and matching costumes create isnt there anymore
The synergy with this group is on another level. To think that they had to put on a mask to get recognized int'l is mind blowing. In today's world, skills isn't just enough. Branding is equally important too(being mysterious in this case)
@Francisco Duran You know you can seperate words with the space bar right? Or if that is too much for your head.you.can.use.a.period. You putting in too much effort to be a salty troll is straight af. Stop being so straight, my God dude. Be you and be proud to be gay.
@Francisco Duran the fact that u exposed urself being dumb as shit is cool. Keep putting god damn unnecessary commas. Who the fuck cares if he wants to comment who were the originals, theres nothing wrong with that but there definitely is something wrong with you. Lay off the hate. Cuz bruh YOU want to be recognized
They have lots of chemistry. I absolutely despise watching videos where the entire crew isn’t in sync or you can just tell from miles away it’s amateurs who choreographed their first dance in like 20 minutes. There’s so much thought and hard work out into this and as hard as they weren’t tryna go in the beginning they still did because soon as it ended i was impressed
I forget how dope my old friends, teammates and mentors are. But this feels like a cheat sheet since I like finding out who’s who from their freestyles
They're dope with or without the mask. KB is one of my favorite dancers! I recognized him in a grocery store and my husband was looking at me crazy for approaching some random man. Had to let him know it was a jabbawockee :)
In my opinion when their mask is off.. Our eyes tends to focus on their faces more over their performance unlike when their mask is on where in the details in their dance shines
I'll never forget this day ^^ we really had a good time with them, they are not just inspirations but also brothers with the same passion. Can't believe I am one with the people being taught by Jabbawockeez in real life.
The whole debate on “If any other dance groups put on the mask they’d be the same” or “the mask makes them dance better” is false. Even without the masks, the Jabbawockeez proved why they’re the one of the greatest to ever do it.
@@marksun4292 The original seven: Kevin Brewer (Black), Joe Larot (Filipino), Jeff Nguyen (Vietnamese), Phil Tayag (Filipino), Rainen Paguio (Filipino), Ben Chung (Korean), Chris Gatdula (Filipino) and Gary Randall (Black) was the 8th original member who died the day before appearing on ABDC.
I remembered that was TJ's bday. When KB announced it we are shouting "Yo TJ! It's your Birthday" repeatedly. 😊 that talented guy. What a day dancing with the Jabbawockeez! 😊🙏 Hope it will happen again.
Amazing to me, all are one. I love the fact that they are ALL different races , color, and just having a good time showing their talents. Never seen them without their masks, Love these guys❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not really. They definitely have their theme down to a science - the full costume contributes a lot to the illusions the create in their performances, but its fantastic to see them without all that. Taking away the light show rave element their costumes contribute, you still have a group of technically interesting dancers with unique formations and unmatched synchronicity. It’s pretty cool to see how they actually move instead of just being awestruck by the glitch concept
@@powerpuff4ever thank you for this!! I'm seeing comment after comment of what I will assume are young people saying they don't look as good without the masks. I'm like, "did we just watch the same thing"? They look super technical and polished. It's actually really impressive to see the dance movements without all the glitz of the costume.
God these guys are so cool, as equally impressive as their dance moves, their costume design is so amazing. Their outfits always looks so awesome. Amazing!

Well my fav one is the one with the white mask😉
And this is the exact reason why they chose to have a mask on on the first place.
Yup you are spot on, that's how they explained it in their 1st week at ABDC 👍
Unless you’re michael Jackson in a mask, in which case everyone still watches just you. Bc... well.... he was michael jackson.
Watch any clip of michael with a troupe behind him doing the same exact movements.
Big Facts!!!
They're naturally in sync. No hesitation, no mistakes, all fun. They definitely have passion.
I think you are a world best judge in dancer, No mistake what a examination👏
They practice alot and they take it serious look where they at today...

@@DETERMINOLOGY i think in their own homes.
Exactly, even without their masks you know its them because of how unique their dancing style is .
The irony that no one recognized them until they wore masks.
Some of them are new and well known
Just not the same lol
"No one cared who I was till I put on the mask"
@@christiancrump6777 I put on the mask n still... no1 cares who am... they will
The mask and the outfits makes the performance look much cleaner and it somehow accents every move they make. Therefore your eyes are more focused on the body movements versus the face.
The vibes are different when they dance without using their mask on
If you really appreciate dance its the same thing with then without the masks just differentiates who they are but it isnt who they are
Alberto David Jr I must have Alzheimer’s because I do not remember anyone asking
@@blackicexll3719 Wow how original

The genius thing about the mask is that they'll live on forever, though the members may get old the mask can always be passed down.
Long live the Jabawockeez!!

Kinda like the globe trotters
*Every Filipino kid had that one point in their lives where they tried to be a Jabbawockee*
Lalo na yung Apologize nila putek hahahahaha
Sa totoo lang. ginagaya ko sila abdc palang. Lalo na ung pyt.

The CZcams Algorithm is getting more powerful. I was literally just randomly thinking about them.
Hahaha that was a good one
I have moments when I THINK about things that then pop-up! Kind of frightening actually...
I straight up saw a episode on a tv show where one of the characters was talking about them and this ends up in my feed! I am spooked haha 😂😅😬
CZcams is on some mind reading technology.
no, youtube algorithm - made you think - about them
Bruh found this just now and I was here in this event enjoying the whole moment 🤘🏼
Anyone else here watching this video that popped up just now but was posted a year ago
gg life same 😂
Yea
haha ! that’s a trip
gg life yeah
Shit, same.
It doesn’t feel right without the Jordan 1’s
@red sanford they usually wear 1s but have deff worn dunks too
And don’t forget the air max series.
The off-whites

The fact that they all actually look like a group of uncles makes me feel weird
Bro it's too obvious cause when they made their first appearance were about 11 years ago

@@deekay1306 what?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zam O'DEEN How many "uncles" of yours do you see that moves like the jabba? We will all wait. 🤭😎✌️
with or without masks, they dance their dance and everyone will recognize them for it
No one dances his song

The fact they were all in sync, is just beyond amazing!
They’re still such an amazingly talented group. I feel like I’m watching them rehearse for a performance. You know it’s them by their excellence☺️🥰❤️.
They wear the mask so often they don't have any facial expression when they dance
Uchimaki?
yeah and personally I feel like not having facial expressions is better then making weird faces
@@oscarz.3264 yeah but facial expressions also adds flavour sometimes if only used in the right way and in a right time
@@papapao8046 😂😂😂 r/whoosh I don't even know what your point because its not even relate to what i said. Like what fake news?
also they said they wear a mask so whoever is watching watch them as a group and not focus on just one guy !
Daaamn even without the mask they still so CRISP. When that beat drop oh boy.
One word........FLAWLESS.
💯
Phil standing dancing behind shows how humble he is. He lean on the wall and watch them at the end. Humble talended person Salute 👏🙌
The definition of "smooth" is all around this dance
the jabbawockeez's original 11 (members) consist of 4 Phillipinos (Rainen, Joe, Chris, SB), 3 latinos (Eddie Gutierrez, Randy Bernal, Saso Jimenez), 1 viet (Jeff "Phi" Nguyen), 1 Korean (BTek), 2 blacks (KB, Garry "the one" Kendall)

They're dope with or without the mask. KB is one of my favorite dancers!

Wish I could meet him at a store someday
Rebecca
@Francisco Duran dude, stfu with your comma stupidity bullshit
...who's KB?😅full name pls😁
Casey T you are sooo lucky
The amount of sync is more than the amount of brain cells in my head
The unison is sick … love there chemistry ❤❤❤❤
It's hard to notice the details when their mask is off
whattt. tbh, I liked no mask a lot more since I can see more details. but that's just me.
The purpose of the mask is to emphasize the "We"-ness in their group so each one can have their own spotlight at the same time
@@nargarex2390 yeah, but they've already established that. kinda nice just seeing all their movements without a mask this time.
In my opinion when their mask is off.. Our eyes tends to focus on their faces more over their performance unlike when their mask is on where in the details in their dance shines
TRUEE!
I'll never forget this day ^^ we really had a good time with them, they are not just inspirations but also brothers with the same passion. Can't believe I am one with the people being taught by Jabbawockeez in real life.
Ur name bro?

I can honestly say that these guys are amazing! I got to see them live with nkotb in Pittsburgh and their show was fire!
I was there, it was TJ's Birth day. 😊 I'm so glad I met my idol Phi and Joe and dance on the same floor 😊😊
This group has set their own history and bar so uniquely high.. nobody could ever replace them or beat their style of dancing !! 🔥🔥🔥
The whole debate on “If any other dance groups put on the mask they’d be the same” or “the mask makes them dance better” is false. Even without the masks, the Jabbawockeez proved why they’re the one of the greatest to ever do it.
Agree
These guys are supreme beings it’s hard to fathom that they’re human 😦
Their transitions are really dope. They know where everyone is going to be. So they are free to just do their thing. And be in the moment
Aka: Jobbawockeez Naked.
They dance great the mask is like adding cherry on top.
so smooth
the fact one of them is wearing a phillipine basketball shirt makes me a bigger fan
Without the mask, it really gave a different vibe. Even though the dance routine really represent them, it gave a whole new vibe.
With or without mask, still one of the greatest dance crew 😊👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There officially legends
You have to be an elite dancer to be in this crew...they are simply God like in their skill level
🆙
That was sick man they are my favorite dancers.
1:03 most epic group sequence I've seen in a longgg tiiiiime
Agreed! It was so robotic yet so smooth how they move in unison
I love how they dance without mask. Their movement is so smooth.
Everyone in the room feeling like they just unlocked a new character
jabba Wins
still one of the best dance crew ever 🙌🏼
without anything, they still dance sooooo clean 😭❤
I see one member of jabbawockeez wearing a gilas Pilipinas Jersey❤️

Oh maaaann they're always killin' it! I love Gavin and Tj ❤️ mygaaadd 😘
Wow. That was pretty mind blowing! I’m so aware I’m watching the jabbawockeez! Their flawlessness is so clear even without the masks 🎭
Still my favorite crew they are so clean and crisp
The sync and fluidity. Smooth as knife through butter.
the OG members you can tell by their synchronization
You know the dancers are just that good when ppl cannot nitpick who moves better than the other since they execute very smoothly and in synchronicity.
The forever legends. I remember being in high school and me and my sister waited all night to watch them dance in ABDC.
Hahaha so did I. 😁 Hard to believe that was 14 years ago! These guys are *still* phenomenal.
Kevin "KB Brewer still rippin' it!!!
guy in blue is always a step early 1:09 onwards. great dancing anyway!
Amazing to me, all are one. I love the fact that they are ALL different races , color, and just having a good time showing their talents. Never seen them without their masks,
Love these guys❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️
Imagine being able to tell someone im on the jabbawockeez
JABBAWOCKEEZ IS STILL THE GREATEST DANCERS
Their coordination and transitions are God-like!!!!!!!!
They have set the bar so high
Philippines 💖
Brings back memories of me and my bois copying them in every high school events 😅❤🔥
PILPINAS 1...🇵🇭....Eyyyy!
damn I always thought the same guy was at the front, just puts it into perspective how talented every single member of this crew is
They Highlight each members without us knowing which is which
They will always be the best dance crew ... ALWAYS !!!
finally doing what jokoy envisioned them to do 😂
Isko Cañas Jr lol
This was in my recommended and for a split second I thought they were about to catch backlash for dancing without masks during corona season 💀🤣
I love the “OG’s” with a couple newbies! Always 🔥 always on point! Xxoxoxoxox Canada 🇨🇦
How did this ended up in my recommendation and it's a year ago😂😭
The masks really did make a difference

Some of them are asian and I'm pretty sure to the guy wearing Pilipinas Jersey
I think one or two of them is filipino
