I'm white and I choose shows, movies etc. that are interesting, funny, spooky, whatever I wanna watch. I honestly couldn't care less about the skin colour of the people in the show. I care about their personality, their attitude, their sense of humor and all that jazz, sure, but skin colour..?? Maybe it's because I'm South African, so for me it's normal to see people of all kinds of different ethnicities, both in daily life and on YT or television. Maybe that's different in the US. Where I live, white people, are in the minority, so I guess many things are different here. They should just make shows for human audiences and then everyone can choose what they like. Shows 'for black audiences' just sounds so weird to me. What's next? Shows for people with brown hair and blue eyes? ...😂😂😂

I remember when Kayla spent a weekend at Grambling State, trying to decide whether she wanted to try out for the team. It was in Season 5 of Bring It! and right after she left her co-coaching position with the Dolls. She did a lot of soul searching, and I'm so glad she did. I'm so SO proud of her. GO Kayla- and what a great new show. This will fill my DD4L void! :D

@jasmine2thamax 4 жыл бұрын

It’s to keep you on your toes so you don’t get complacent and start to half ass, you are still able to build a strong sister hood during practice and practice outside of main practice. Ultimately it teaches the girls that in life there is no security and if you fail you need to work hard to bounce back

@Yuna-vi2iz 4 жыл бұрын

As someone who has danced for a dance company, weekly audition are unnecessary. It’ll make dancers anxious for no reason 🤦🏾‍♀️ Edit: I didn’t finish the video when I commented this. I thought they were auditioning for the team but it’s for the performance. 😂

@ohdamnman 4 жыл бұрын

My mother used to be a ballerina and she told me for anyone going into performance be it an Actor or dancer or singer you need to be on your game at all times personally I think weekly additions is the same thing you would do if you were trying to do your thing as a performer in New York or LA you would be trying to get into an audition every day that you could at least once a week on your A game all the time.

Awesomeness TV you have always been my favorite but now even more so! Thank you for putting a spotlight on HBCUs. Cheer isn't limited to pom poms and stunts and Beyonce didn't invent drum majors and dance squads for entertainment at Coachella. It's a huge deal in black southern culture and sometimes the competition between the bands and dance squads are more anticipated than the game. There's kids who don't live in the south who have no idea about HBCUs which are open to people of every ethnicity. As a mother of kids who were involved with competitive cheer and tumbling while growing up I would have loved for them to be exposed to a different form of cheer on a popular channel besides BET. It shows that black culture is American culture. And I hope more kids see this and get inspired to attend a HBCU. Representation is important. I apologize for getting on my soapbox but there were a couple of comments I saw that touched a nerve and I felt the need to educate.

@boomboom6577 4 жыл бұрын

madree p as an east coast black woman, I have always been aware of the HBCUs. I don’t know a black person in philly who is unaware. This is all a part of black culture.

@madreep 4 жыл бұрын

@@boomboom6577 as a west coast black woman I can assure you that it's not a part of black culture here. When I was a young child in Seattle it was, my cousins in California also had some exposure. But as all of those cities have undergone multiple rounds of gentrification and we have lost our predominantly black neighborhoods things have changed. I live in Portland Oregon which is my mother's hometown and it is a very large city and the black population is not quite 6%. For the whole city. The state numbers are just as bad. So believe me. There are plenty of black kids out here who know nothing about black culture.

@boomboom6577 4 жыл бұрын

madree p: lol, I live in the Southwest now, and I thought when I was writing my comment “except for some parts of the west coast.” But I haven’t been here long enough to speak to black culture out here, so I chose not to point that out. That’s why I said “east coast.” I didn’t want to assume that west coast black folks may not know about hbcu’s, though I suspected that was the case. I was trying to give benefit of the doubt. But I hear you. My point stands about it being a part of black culture in places other than the south, however.

@@boomboom6577 I probably should have specified west coast. As well as some of the midwest. I guess I forget about the rest of the world sometimes lol. It was hard moving here as a little girl.

I just think since Awesomeness is California heavy programming that it will maybe show some of the youth what HBCUs have to offer.
