OK here I go again on the subject of Dance Moms. I have to say its plenty of food for fodder for blogs and seems everyone is talking about them.   But now they are “Triple Threats” Or so Abby says.  Lets look at these triple threats work.

1. Kendall has become Kendall K.  Abby Lee Miller produced a video for this beautiful little girl that all of a sudden got yanked down because face it this thing was horrible. Absolutely insanely horrible.  I don’t know what Abby has about auto tune but she is making enough money off these kids now she should really hire out the music part of it because she hasn’t got a clue.
Abby shows the making of the video where allegedly military are lined up and she is throwing water in their faces and barking orders at them. Good way to show respect for the military Abby. NOT.  I think they are actors myself.  I don’t believe it was shot on a military base either. Looks more like a bunker or a private airport or deserted warehouse.  But never the less. The choreography just sucks. Plain and simple it sucks. The scenes flash around  so much what little you see of the dancers suck. The singing is horrible. AUTO TUNED TO DEATH. You cant understand a single word this child is saying, Wear em out on the floor? Let me give you a clue here Abby. Wear Em out on the Floor should have been a competition elimination scene, one by one dancers dropping and Kendall being the victor.  No you went Military that has not one damn thing to do with the song. Why? To make this child fail? Why so much Auto Tune? To make this child fail?  You cant ever allow anyone to outshine the star in your eyes regardless of who the fans show they prefer.  But Momma is so brainwashed that Abby will make her kid famous she wont budge and get her with a real producer. Why?  Abby will always make her second best if that high.  Don’t forget there are two Zeiglers. So maybe third. If you pay her enough.

Now lets talk about this child so excited to have her video released and crushed when the public hated it. Wrong message. You never disrespect the military and this entire video did just that. You never have music so loud you can barely hear the chipmunk singing in the back ground. And you never have the dancers portraying sexy divas in a child’s video. NEVER. Plus you missed the mark with the song and the scene. Dance. Kendall K is known as Kendall from Dance moms. Dance. Wear em out on the floor. As in DANCE floor.  Duh. Didn’t think of that did you. So now the child takes to twitter asking everyone to delete the video that it was not ready to be released yet. Hello Abby, Did you make her say that? Do you realize how incompetent that one little tweet made you look. Not ready but released as the official video.  Now Rumor is it is being remade with a marching band. Oh Majorette style? Are the dancing dolls going to be in it. Bring IT!!!  Still missing the mark. Your show is not about Majorette dancing. That’s already on Lifetime. Don’t you watch TV?

So Kendall once again gets let down and made to look second best when Nia’s video comes out looking professionally put together, oh maybe because it was, and Kendall has to pull her video and remake it to try to beat Nia’s. Once again making the child look bad.  This little beauty has a beautiful voice but Abby Auto tunes her to sound like a chipmunk singing. Why? Only one winner kids get used to it. Its not you.
Kendall’s dancing is starting to show her as a better dancer,  The sad thing is there are videos out there of Kendall when she was at Studio 19 much younger and a much better dancer with strong technique. Ummm what happened when she came to ALDC? Dancing bad for the camera so no one knows she is a great dancer?  Sure looks that way. As for acting, first you must be able to read simple words. You could have knocked me over with a feather when they aired this child reading from a script and mispronouncing words.  Really? Put her back in school.  I guess they all act to a certain degree on this fake reality show but Kendall’s true emotions show on her face. Like she said she doesn’t love dancing her mom does and my bet is she does not want to be in this situation at all. But her mom is loud overboard and determined to hog as much camera time for herself as possible. Go pitch a real housewives show already. You are on the wrong show.

2.  McKenzie is a living doll , Her talents are not being used to her best on this show. Can she act?  She is a natural and any producer with a vision should be able to work with her to teach her to act.  The camera loves her natural beauty. If they had started when she was seven years old she would be all the rage today. But she was not the one mom wanted to be a star. So she is pushed to the side and given baby dances to keep from showing this girl is an amazing dancer and out dances her sister with technique and emotions. Just go to one recital and watch them dance side by side to see the real McKenzie dance. To see the real not faked or forced facial expressions of a child who wants to be noticed and is pushed in the corner. She is the star in this family being allowed to wilt away.

Can she sing. Yes she can. Thank God for leaked videos they are not supposed to put out there we all know Kenzie (and Kendall)  has a great voice until Abby gets her fingers on the Auto tune button and ruins it.   If you don’t believe Abby punished these kids just go find the video of Kenzie singing on a local news format show where she is singing over top the music instead of lip singing and her voice cracks numerous times. Last one she was allowed to put out until now. Now Nia puts out a hit and Kenzie is working on a new one too.  Please Abby stop making these kids compete against each other and put each other down. Let them all shine for their own talents and stop using auto tune to make them all sound terrible so they don’t out shine or rise above your favorite. The whole world already is saying your wrong so why are you still fighting it instead of admitting you put all your eggs in the wrong basket? Let Kenzie Shine on her own.  Girl Party, Maddie dancing front and center in front of Kenzie, Shine, Maddie dancing when Kenzie could have done the entire video.   This is Kenzies Career and Abby has to put Maddie front and center to take away from her and their mother allows it. Why?  Oh and the damn name Abby tagged on her MackZ Music. She is not a little boy she is a beautiful little girl and the world knows and loves her as McKenzie not MackZ. Its a stupid name and degrading to this little girl. ANYONE OUT THERE? Rescue this child. Show her mother her worth so she will suddenly have a shot. Get her out of Abbys controls. Hello Kurt Zeigler the whole world wants to know where you are and why your not stepping up to protect your daughters.

3. Nia Frazier- She has been portrayed for five seasons as the underdog on the show. Everyone loves a good underdog story right?  She isn’t by any means the under dog. Not by a long shot. She is multi talented and could have a long career if her mom would stop acting like she is upset over how her child is treated on this show and prove it by removing her and putting her with someone who will appreciate her. Face it. She was sold down the river. My bet is Kenzie and Nia are the ONLY true triple threats on this show. That’s not bad for the rest of them. No one has to be a triple threat to succeed they just have to be the best at what they are the best at.  Nia was not allowed to show her talents on this show.  Why? Well she has now aged out of the Jr Division so I guess they are going to let her show her talents  and let her expand out to other areas because her usefulness on the show is over. She is to big to dance with this team, she is shown to not have any improvements in dance. Please people. How many years are you taking your child to the same dance studio if they are not improving? hmmm? think about that for a minute and then realize we are not talking about the simplest mom on the show we are talking about a highly educated woman lining her waste basket with her PHD for reality TV. I am sorry Dr. Holly , you and your husband can write all the motivational self help books in the world but who will buy them when your on National TV allowing it to appear your own child’s self esteem is being stomped into the mud every week? There are those who believe reality means its real.

4. Maddie- What can I say. She is getting the work. We have all seen the magazine spreads on the internet. European magazines just love to sexualize this kid.  I am not sure how proud I would be to see my innocent daughter spread on a bed looking like a sex kitten and having people say she is the tween sex symbol. But then again she is not my child and I am not raking in the money for her doing these spreads.  Sia. oh yes, she danced for Sia. Sia is an acquired taste of deviants. Again sexualized a child.   Is Maddie the triple threat the producers want to convince everyone she is? Judge for yourself.  How many other girls on just this show do you see fall out of just about every turn they do? None. Is Her dancing improving? She can follow choreography and she should be able to. She had done the exact same moves since she was nine? Different song same dances with a few change ups. Why does Maddie go to rolling on the floor after her turns?  How else will you cover up she is falling out of her turn other than having her immediately go to the floor out of the turns.  But the fans wont notice. After all she has the dance world in a spin because she did Sia. After Chandelier she was known as the girl from the Sia video. Then she runs around in a cage climbing all over a filthy man who tweets his own issues daily. I never saw any dancing in this video. Then that third mess where is doing hand movements and making faces was not acting or dancing she did what any three year old could do.  I think I get the maddest over Maddie.  Here you have an amazingly beautiful child whose mother decided she did not like the way braces looked on her so she removed them painted up and dressed like a freak from horror movies to make a buck from a spread in an European magazine that has set the US on its ear.  Portrays freaks in videos and has not  done one thing that shows her true beauty.  She is a shell of a girl now with dark circles under her eyes. The whole world knows that the competitions they attend now are invitational events put on by the show and they show her winning. What they don’t show is you can go online and get the real results of these events They don’t always win.  Did you know that every single show she has ever appeared on TV is affiliated with Collins? She has never appeared on any network not in their affiliation. Why is that? She is his Shirley Temple. His money maker and as long as he can convince the world she is all that and a bag of chips she will soar because no one is checking what is really going on in the real competition world.  Yes, there are hundred of girls in her age bracket that can dance her in the dust. But they are not signed up for reality TV. Its not a world their mothers want for them.
Can she act. Well not according to any polls I have seen. Always stiff and robotic. Like she is reading a teleprompter for her lines. In Austin and Ally the acting was horrible but it was the best I have ever seen her dance. Again someone gave her good choreography and she can follow it and mix it up as long as she doesn’t have to make turns she cant fall out of.
This show has taken a talented little girl and exploited her dreams and wishes and killed them. She has gone from wanting to dance to now wanting to act in horror films. Is this because she feels ugly inside now?  Because she knows the truth of her fame is not what the public is lead to believe it is? Her so called mega troll fans don’t care. All they care is that they hate other girls and want Maddie to beat them all. At what cost?  Do improv, Yes, Maddie did a girl who hates herself. Why? Do three videos for an Australian pop star and wham its ugly and does not one time show the beauty of Maddie. They stole this from her. The smile is forced and her words in interviews are well rehearsed now.  Maddie is their puppet to destroy of succeed and they are not helping her to be the best she can be. Why? She is making millions and her dreams don’t matter to them. Do magazine layouts and look like death warmed over dressed in freakish costumes. Even the lay out of her modeling clothes shot in her own home this child is looking at the camera with such sadness in her face that she is screaming this is not me. White face makeup to look washed out? She wears better make up to dance class.  Go to the fashion review and the only picture the publish is a girl leaning over out of her seat looking down where the Hyland’s were sitting looking totally washed out and confused. Like “Why are they here, I thought I was special”

Everyone says Maddie has things handed to her and I have fought this notion for years but recently it was leaked that the kids choice awards were rigged with fake accounts voting. As of today Chloe Lukasiak is beating Maddie by over 20,000 votes for Teen Choice awards new category of Choice dancer. So what is teen choice awards doing? They are advertising to get people to vote for Maddie and Chloe is still winning. We shall see when its announced. Will the fake accounts come out at the last minute and vote for Maddie or will they just give it to her because it gives them publicity on this child’s back too? I guess the proof will be in the announcement.
I am not a maddie hater. I am a hater of the adults who have ruined this child. Who throw her at any thing to make a dime and who have allowed her dancing to suffer because of it.  The adults who stole a child’s dream. The ones who never allow her to dance beautiful videos. The adults who allow her to dress up like a 40s hooker for magazine spreads so they make money off this child. I hate that Maddie is no longer Maddie, She is a tween sex symbol Mini Sia but never just beautiful Maddie who only wanted to dance. I hear now she is also going to put out a singing video. Momma Mia we shall see.

None of these children need to be triple threats. Let them be good at what they are good at.  And give us back the real Maddie we fell in love with in season one not the faked out imitation who ever they can make a dime off of. Give Maddie back her life and her dreams and go live your own.

Disclaimer: Just so we all understand these are just my opinions and rantings of frustration over seeing talent wasted.

I started out writing this blog all serious and junk but now this show has become a joke and comedy so decided its time to call a spade a spade. Jill you are not now and never will be an original. You came along in season two and bought your way into the group. Maybe you should have been paying some of your old studio bills first and they wouldn’t be cropping up on the internet now that you were sued for huge amounts of money by a former studio.
Jill is the one who amazes me the most on this show. What grown woman goes on national TV and shows the world that she is a back stabbing tattle tale whiny excuse for a woman? Jill does. Abby no sooner walks in the door and wham there goes Jill’s mouth.  Is there a string on that door knob? open door, open tattle tales mouth.  But that is not the worst of it. Jill talks about Maddie like a dog yet she runs to Melissa and tells her what the others said and never what she said.

Did any one else catch the reunion show where Melissa said Jill told her Holly said the kids had sub par education and all of a sudden Jill is waving her arms like a drowning person saying “I don’t want to talk about it, we don’t need to bring that up” Why Jill? Because you lied. Yea that’s my take on it.

What woman constantly hears her child say on National TV I don’t want to do this anymore, I don’t want this you do. Yet she continues to push the child to be on the show. Missing the mark completely. She should have gotten this little beauty into acting and modeling and left the dancing to those who wanted to dance and can dance. I love Kendall but the child will never have the body of a dancer.  NEVER.  She is built like her mother.

Now lets explore another mother who makes me shake my head. Dr. Holly Frazier. HELLO! She worked hard to get her doctorate and immediately threw it in the trash to be on reality TV? HUH? I understand there were contracts and she wanted her child to have the opportunity to be on TV but come on Dr. Holly. You are not one of these moms. Well you were not. You sure are pulling off the act pretty good now. If they hand out awards for best actor on reality shows she gets my vote. Holly tries to get all down and dirty this season to help LifetimeTV ratings by bringing the viewers back to see her do battle against Abby Lee Miller but it comes across fake as hell.
Nia is a beautiful well spoken young lady who has been held back since day one on this show. Holly has said Abby has her start routines on the wrong foot to make it look bad. Why are you allowing it? Tell that girl to go for it and sooner or later they are going to film her dancing well. How many times are they going to retake a shoot because your child is dancing well? Are they going to fire you? Contract.  One word answers all. Contract.  They cant fire you because your child dances well. But none the less this season Holly allowed Nia to be used to bring ratings back up for a woman and producers who have shunned her for five season. Oh that’s right she got a video paid for by the producers. But yet on the show Holly yells Abby is not supporting Nia.  But the fans without a doctorate are supposed to believe Abby and the other mothers are jealous of Nias video because Abby did not have anything to do with it. mmmm ok the fans don’t have a doctorate in our trash and I guess that makes us to dumb to read the writing on the wall. Admit it. You sold out for reality TV to get your child ahead. Nothing at all wrong with that but like you always say. Own it.  So just so we are clear Abby had nothing to do with Nia’s video. umm OK. How much stock does she own in Collins Entertainment?
What can I say about Kira? Well Kalani is a beautiful dancer who I will never understand why on earth someone her age is wasting time at ALDC dancing on a reality show.  She should be out getting jobs not sitting back watching dancers of less quality training get them all.  I guess it has to do with who needs money by having their child work at what ever comes along first.  Kira is destroying her child’s career with this show. She looks like she cant win. Oh hell yes she can win. The girls is head a shoulders above the other dancers on this show and I don’t mean in size either. She is just one hell of a dancer. Period. Get her out of there and working real jobs before you ruin all chances she will ever have. There is not much more to say except this show must pay really good money to go on national TV and have it told you stole credit cards and misused money. Come on.  Really?  That hurts your child too.

Now there are supposed to be two Zeigler girls on this show.  One is the star and the other isn’t. Lets see. McKenzie is a natural born star who if she had been put out there when she was seven would be the mega star now. But what happened to her career. She did a cute video called Girl Party with her sister dancing front and center stealing the thunder. She did a cute video called Shine where her sister steals the thunder.  Who is the tone deaf one working on this child’s videos? My God is she doing repeat auditions to be one of the girl chipmunks on Alvin? Stop it. This child has a beautiful voice and it is auto tuned to death and destruction. She is a beautiful dancer but all we ever see on TV is her standing on her head or shaking her butt to kiddie dances way beneath her talent.  Why? Oh that’s right she is not the designated star. She is in my book.   I wont even go into Maddie now that is an entire blog on its own.
But that’s just my humble opinion and how I see it for now.
