OMG THAT END !!!!! I just saw the company before... and when I start this video.. I'm like : why they win?... The End comes and I'm like : OK I understand now !! SO SICK !

This is hands down the most incredible thing I've ever seen at a dance competition.

ending was out of the world 🌎

As much as I might have preferred 2nd place performance- a bit easier on the eye- this was by far more creative and complex so I'm not surprised they won. We have to remember it's a dance competition, where being good is a prerequisite, so these guys pushed boundaries and I would say, again, I prefer second place, but these guys are deserved winners of the competition.

That last dance was amazing but The Company deserve 1st Place

awesome and innovative ideas - thx for the great entertainment..!!!

i prefer the style of 'the company's' performance but i understand completely why the judges picked these guys.. i would have too. You can't argue with the sheer content and scale of creativity in this performance even if you prefer the style of 'the company'. Unbelievable talent all round.

It's 10 years later and this is still the greatest dance performance I've ever seen.

wow that just blew my mind! Pharside on behalf of the east coast and all street dancers we are super proud of you and your team.. Continue to push that bar!

The ending was pretty crazy.

Wow that ending was crazzzyyy, definitely super creative. Glad they won.

Ga ada obat gilakkkkkkkk nonton dari 2015 sampe sekarang kg pernah bosen cuy

Their costumes, their techniques, their ideas, long & hard practices, etc. So many wow factors. They totally deserve the 1st place.

Once again, Pharside and Academy Of Villains raise the bar another level. Best performance I have ever seen.

What's up with all the haters? The Academy won because their performance transcended dance alon. They absolutely should have taken 1st. The Company brought nothing new or special in terms of dance, the only thing that makes them significant is the precision of their dance. Skill wise, they were pretty standard.

My mind honestly was blown by this performance. These people are smooth and epic at the same time. In my opinion they deserved first.

the company's dance was cleaner, but this got some more technical movements.

This just wasn't a dance set nor was it performance……This Is Art & It was an experience I'll never forget. Beautiful Work AOV!

I think these guys won because they took risks and a clever use of props. 2nd place, was much cleaner with sharper movements. If it's strictly dance, The Company should have taken 1st place. But add in creativity and technical difficulty, these guys defo take the cake. But I'm an engineer, what do I know about dance, I can only look at things objectively.

everyone likes the company, but the fact is AOV placed levels more complexity in their dance while still maintaining comparable technical prowess. The company's was cleaner, simpler, and technically amazing but AOV wins because they applied greater complexity over the entire stage

You can't bite a culture. Congrats AOV.

LOVE YOU GUYS! The most incredible, precise, and theatrical performance I have seen! So insanely talented--ALL OF YOU!!

I prefer the Company but the Villains definitely deserved 1st place. Here are some reasons why: 1.) You gotta admit, the strings part was cool, I also liked how they were able to do all that quickly without any entanglement 2.) Of course, the shadow part, it was cool and told a short story while it was at it. 3.) I feel like this "tone" of dancing is for more mature audiences while The Company can be easy to watch, with their complete synchronization and fluid motions, while the Villains were fairly complex and varies from time to time. Literally, the only thing I particularly disliked about all this hoopla was the music

I jus can't believe this perfomance, they're amazing

To all you guys saying they bit Attraction from Britain's got Talent. THEY WEREN'T THE FIRST ONES TO DO IT EITHER. Shadow theater has been here for more than a thousand years starting in China going all across the globe. AOV was just the first to do it in a DANCE competition and they did it well. GREAT JOB TO AOV. Don't listen to the haters that don't know what they're talking about.

Like many others, I watched The Company's performance first, and had to find out who beat them. You guys did amazing and definitely deserved to win!

Exactly how many of you people are actually dancers? If you're not a dancer then you really can't judge a dance competition where there are various factors when it comes to judging a performance. You are all titled to your opinions as to who y'all wanted to win, but at the end of the the judges selected were selected for a reason and they called it how they saw it as to who was the better crew. I was blown away by both Academy Of Villains and The Company. I honestly wouldn't know who I would have picked to win out of these two amazing crews but that's why we have officials who know how to decide who was better. Just keep supporting y'alls favorite crews and showing them love, because they do this for their fans.

Still one of the coolest concepts I've seen during a competition piece, well deserved

Good Job Pharside! Keep up the good work!

CRAZY & EPIC!!!

so glad aov won, they're not as well liked as the company but pushing creativity over technicality is a good thing as long as you don't look sloppy while being creative, which aov never did. the company was more technical and cleaner, not by a lot, but aov was leaps and bounds ahead of them in creativity. i felt like i already saw the companies performance on my first watch because it was the same stuff you always see, when i watched aov i got goosebumps several times. aov won this one by a landslide imo, nobody was even close to them for an overall performance.

This performance is beyond amazing, loved every part of it

I understand now why they won!

Most of them don't really strike me as dancers, but I mean I understand why they won- because the choreography and music is amazing. They put on one hell of a show!

Absolutely stunning

I have watched this so many times. Regardless of who should've won, this was absolutely incredible. Never a dull moment.

One of the most incredible performances I have ever seen. I am not a dancer by any means, but I love to watch. Keep on keeping on guys, Love it.

Man, just when I thought it would take forever that there would be a new Vibe dance competition, here it is, in all its choreographed glory with some new killer sets! ...oh my god AOV was tight and amazing to watch once again! I can't wait to see more! Let's see if other crews has made major progress ;)

absolutely amazing.

Are you kidding me?!!! They deserve #1! The creativity! They are true entertainers I love the theatre! I tapped my screen half way through just to make sure it wasn't almost over and then was blown away during they lyrical-ish Evanesence bit. I loved it. Bravo!!

HOLY. SHIT. THAT. WAS. AMAZING.

They were amazing, here's what I think IMO, The Company had the best song choices and AOV's creativity was immense and told a great story, both of them were amazing, they are both winners IMO

That ending was the truth. So freaking creative! Best dance choreograph I've seen to date. 👏👏👏

The last part was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm so overwhelmed right now. I can't breathe.....

Wow just an amazing performance and the ending was so creative. Well deserved first place great job

The fact that people are coming on here just to say "I think the other group was better" is just so low. Regardless of whatever group won it clearly shows they put their ALL into their craft and all you guys do is ruin someone else's success.

I am floored. That silhouette bit was so awesome. So creative. It will stay with me for a long time. Keep up the creativity.

Its untidy to watch.. Love love the company.. They're great! So clean performance :)

The "shadow" part killed The Company, but The Company surely won the attention of million people. They've got like 7 million view now.

Wow you guys are amazing. I just love everything about your team. I loved the ending and I dream everyday about being on a team like yours.

Wow...I've watched both the 1st&2nd position performances. & I think this guys deserves the 1st place. Why because dey've gat most mixed creativity in it...and that's what gave them the upper hand...simply brilliant!!!!

these guys did great. favourite dance crew and best routine ive ever seen

People should realize that it's not just about the appeal itself or popularity among the crowd, but how creative and sophisticated their moves are. I, too, enjoyed watching The Company's choreos more, as it had more swagger and good musicality. However, you seem to miss how amazing AoV was with their group choreo and transitions, uniqueness, and complexity -- some things I would never have come up with. And the shadow dancing part was performed superbly even though it is much easier to detect mistakes.

holy SHIT.

Just wow its incredible !

after so many years still came back to watch one more time :D

these dancers missed the point.. just because the music is LOUD and transformy doesn't mean the dancers are going to be good... creatively it struggled..the dancers were all over the place...the group that were dressed in their school attire were ABSOLUTELY amazing... they popped to carlos santana and classical and it was AMAZING!!!! kids today feel like everything has to be high energy. Oh well.. good on all the dancers for being out there.

this was well deserving of first place.. it was just dancing, it was a full on theatrical performance. they went for it and the result was awesome.

Can I just say ALL of you have AMAZING talent!!!!!

This crew was absolutely amazing!

It's like I'm watching Step Up street battle. The costumes, the choreography, the flow from one song to another not to mention how synchronised they all are. Fanfuckingtastic!

When I saw the silhouette dance at the closer, the first thing I thought of was "Ohhey that's like silhouette shows they do in China with the paper cut dolls and hands" not "Oh hey that's from Attraction from Britain's Got Talent" so unless Attraction have secretly been around for like 10 bajillion years doing silhouette dancing, they definitely were not the originators of this style. So to those who keep on saying "Attraction did this first"....learn a little culture pls thanks Also this was really sick I love this set so much :D

They were great and I love the music

OMG this was absolutely amazing every move, detail, part was so on point ya'll killed it too dope I love this so much!! I can't stop watching it over and over! I wasn't even there and watching this made me feel as if I was there!! Academy of Villains ya'll are sick!! Much Love and Support I'm Inspired so I keep on dancing!! -Jasmine Robinson aka Jazz

Always impressed with that AOV dubstep choreo

WOW! Amazing! I can tell they really dedicate their time and effort into the dance since it was SOOO good! I see why 1st place was given to them :) great job!

This was brilliant! WOW I completely see why they won! Extremely creative!

You gotta admit the shadows were cool though but your right 2nd was the most in sync group ive ever seen

I watched The Company's video first and was like the group that beat them better be freaking awesome. They are.

I personally think second place did better than 1st. I know they one but I would like to point out that they are not as on cue like the second one. And I should know because I teach dance. If you are not going to get it right, don't do it at all.

That was an amazing performance, the creative element was what made the difference

There isn't even a competition here (not even close!). I watch this after The Company's performance but this is far more entertaining and (from an outsider pov) more creative and difficult to pull off. The dance during MJ's song was sick! The last part was definitely the winner..

Lmfao all the people who can't do this actually critiquing and coming down on this group is hilarious. Seriously the entertainment factor of this performance was astounding and after being around seeing dancers for as long as I have I can find as many groups that are just as clean as the company and dance that same exact style but lack creativity. But then again dance is subjective. It's what you like but if you can't do don't bash. I'm not saying don't express your opinion but don't be ignorant because your preference wasn't the top choice.

Being on a dance team myself I can honestly say that was literally the best dance or production I have ever seen... Amazing

amazing crew

I honestly didn't think they deserved first place until they pulled out the silhouettes. That was actually pretty frickin amazing

ohhhh my God

They are amazing

That was incredible!!

It's sad to see how The Company fanboys and fangirls have to come up to this video to disrespect the dancers of Academy Of Villains by saying they should not have won. Just because YOU liked The Company's piece more than this piece, does NOT mean they were better. I bet 80% of you don't even know anything about dance. Still, you're here calling them amateurs, talking about 'plagiarism' and criticising what dance SHOULD be like? Get out of here. Congrats to both Academy Of Villains and The Company for killing it.

Woahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I jus couldn't BELIEVE what i SAW......... WOW..........

소름 돋을 정도로 멋있네요. 특히 악마가 천사로 변하는 장면에서 정말 울컥할 정도로 전율이 일었습니다. 잘봤어요.

That wasss amazingggg like It was flawless . My Jaw Was Dropped the whole time .

I feel like they really did deserve to win, everyone is calling them sloppy and all over the place but their moves were so sharp and they transitioned beautifully. I thought it was really well done. With that many people coming on and off of the stage I'm surprised at how smoothly they went from one routine to another. They always had my attention away from those exiting and those who were beginning their part of the routine. Granted they did get fancy with the strings as well as the light show but it added so much. They're performers so they're going to put on a show. Not to say that The Company isn't but the styles of dance each group chose were quite different in that The Company was a lot more fluid and rythmic than AoV was.

So I was looking at the company and thought why didnt they get 1st place, so I went and look on this video and now I know why its sooo much better!.

you guys did great.. west coast style is definitely unique and i love it... keep doing what your doing

this was the best dance routine i seen in a long time... y'all trippin

I still think the one in 2nd place is better

Love the last part!

The ending was amazingl. Loved it. Thank you for such creativity. Inspiring

one of the best things ive ever seen

so perfect... just perfect :')

JUST AMAZING IS COULDNT BE BETTER!! THEY DESERVED THE WIN!!!

that was absolutely amazing!!!

that was beautiful

i can't believe people are not giving them credit where credit is due. they did amazing. levels, layers, tutting, on point choreo, cohesive, smooth transitions.. and the puppet string props were TIGHT. I wasn't a huge fan of the shadow dance, but they deserved to win. i seen the other team, the second place one, and I think they were great too.. but this team was a little better

Villains just had flashy choreography which gave them more room for mistake. It was much more of a circus performance than a dance. Hell, if you just look at the AoV's track list you can tell it was pretty much gonna be all hype. All of their songs had beat "drops" where they could go ballz out for the crowd's screaming. On the other hand, The Company was clean and their choreography showed much more musicality, especially since they had fewer songs and went deeper into them. They executed their illustration of the music exceptionally. The Company's performance was much more well rounded, and if judging systems were consistent, The Company would've won.

I watched both first and second place videos in the competition. The results were fair. The competition is based on multiple factors not just dance. Judging is also on presentation. Dance is just the medium and not the only factor. Great dance surprises the watcher.

10 years later and I STILL don't know how any other squad could've beat this choreography.
