  1. What the?? These all suck, how did they make finalists? What happened to the girl that played the piano brilliantly? She had way more talent than any of these. I’ll vote for #3 because that looks like it took the most practice and skill.

  2. #1- Coldplay Remix!!
    #2- Breakdancing
    #3- Yo-Yos
    #4- Beatboxing kid (very cool but I’m sure it took the yo-yo kid alot longer to learn that stuff!)

  3. Brian is the most amazing talent on this page; this involves a combination of skill and hard work, as well as creative choreography and sense of style. He has the most elements of difficulty; i.e., the other videos only have one aspect that makes them interesting or difficult, this video has many different elements, including the choreography, style, hard work, and skill that I mentioned, as well as bringing in an Eastern-based art form and presenting it to a Western culture. All this is very difficult to do, and Brian pulls it off wonderfully.

  4. Alex “Boogaloo” Kao is auwwsumm! If only his moves had a little ARCHAEOLOGY, Chinese-style — or am I JADED, like Youde! Now hit the books, kid!

  5. #1 Brian’s yo-yo performance is flawless. It shows great choreography, skill, and hand and eye coordination. A lot of time, dedication and practice must have been required in order to showcase such an amazing solo performance.
    GREAT JOB! YOU ARE #1

  8. #4 that body beat boxing is extremely unique and it’s so interesting to watch. The other things, we’ve seen already before, nothing special!

    I hope #4 comes out with newer songs maybe a little RnB spin off would sound really nice.

  9. #1 HAS THE BEST TALENT. IT TAKES A LOT OF SKILL AND PRACTICE TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THE YO-YOS IN THE AIR. GREAT PRECISION AND COORDINATION!

  10. brian chin in video #1! that’s the most amazing yo-yo performance i’ve ever seen. not only is it entertaining but it’s incredibly artistic as well!

    good luck to all the finalists!!

  11. Kao is pretty amazing. Number 4 all the way!

    I heard he’s a hot mama in the bedroom.
