Hines Ward wins DWTS Season 12

Hines Ward wins DWTS Season 12

Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver Hines Ward won Dancing with the Stars Season 12 earlier this week. With his dancing partner Kym Johnson, Ward won the disco balled trophy. He adds another championship under his belt, this time on the dance floor. Amazingly, Johnson powered through a neck injury, which she got while practicing a few weeks earlier. The pair dance their way to a win with their energetic samba to Fantasy that scored the perfect 30. The song was dedicated to Ward’s mom, who watched in the audience. Ward’s win now puts him alongside former Dallas Cowboy star Emmitt Smith as the second NFL player to win the competition. The former Superbowl MVP compared the 10 weeks of the show to the intensity of NFL training camp, and said he was ready to get back on the field because the dancing kept him in such great shape.

McDonald's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade commercial : Asian American edition

Former America’s Best Dance Crew contestants Victor Kim (Quest Crew) and Yuri Tag (Kaba Modern) show their new dance moves in this McDonald’s commercial for Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Victor Kim wears yellow showing his break dancing skills, while Yuri Tag sports the red demonstrating her ballet moves. Together they make a great combination. It’s the sweet taste of strawberry and the tart taste of lemon. I’m lovin’ it.

Blackout Step Team : Kollaboration Boston 1 Winners

Blackout Step Team : Kollaboration 1 Winners

Blackout, Tufts University’s all-male step team, took first place at the inaugural Kollaboration Boston 1 competition on Saturday, April 16, 2011. In front of over 1000 audience members at the John Hancock Hall in downtown Boston, Blackout performed a crisp, high-energy routine that ultimately beat out the eight other competing acts in combined audience reaction and judges’ scores.

As the members – Kyle Carbone, Groom Dinkneh, Chris Owens, Ekow Essel, Drew Bibby, Fernando Fiorentino, and Karl Wang – stood backstage after the show, all that they could say at first amidst their shock and excitement were words of gratitude. “It’s for everybody, not just us,” said Owens, in reference to their win. “We appreciate the help and the cooperation everyone’s given us and it’s just amazing.” Added Dinkneh, “It’s the greatest thing that’s happened to the group, that’s for sure.” The step tradition has roots in African culture, and Blackout was founded in 2004 under the Tufts African Students Organization, according to their website. Today, the diversity of the group – which Fiorentino likened to “a Gap commercial” – is a testament to how successfully the team, in its short history, has been able to bring an appreciation for step to a much larger community.

Their diversity also illustrates how far Kollaboration has come as a movement in the entertainment industry. Eric Nam, the executive director of Kollaboration Boston, thought that Blackout was very deserving of their win, despite the fact that the team doesn’t exactly have the look of a typical Kollaboration winner. “Kollaboration Boston is about uniting and empowering,” Nam said. “We sought to showcase the talents and abilities of Asian Americans across all forms of the fine arts.

At it’s core, Kollaboration should rise above racial bounds; this is why we exist in the first place. The men of Blackout put on an outstanding show and in the end, I only have to say, ‘Congratulations!’”

The team, in return, credits a lot of their success to shows precisely like Kollaboration, shows that help to get people to “look at you,” which Bibby described as another key factor in becoming successful. All of the current members had little to no experience with step coming into Blackout, but through hard work, dedication, and a lot of performance, wound up loving the dance form. The team used Wang, whom Fiorentino called one of the team’s best steppers, as an example of someone who worked through his initial intimidation on Blackout by continually putting himself in front of audiences.

“For anyone trying to make it out and trying to make their big break,” Bibby advised, “just go out there and keep trying.” For their first-place win, the team received the Kollaboration trophy and $1000, as well as a trip to Kollaboration in LA later in the year.

Lyrics to Don’t Stop The Party by Black Eyed Peas

Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t stop the party.
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Stop, stop, stop,
The, the, the, don’t stop the party.
Don’t stop the party
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,
Stop, stop, stop,
The, the, the, don’t stop the party.

(Verse 1)
This is the original,
This has no identical,
You can’t hack my digital,
Future Aboriginal,
Get up off my genitals,
I stay on that pinnacle,
Kill you with my lyricals,
Call me verbal criminal,
Send you to that clinical,
Subscribe you some Chemicals,
Audio and visual, can’t see me
invisible.
i’m old school like Biblical,
Futuristic next level,
Never on that typical
Will I stop I’ll never know…

(chorus)
I ain’t gonna stop until I do (don’t stop it)
I ain’t gonna quit should I show
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it, stop it
You can’t stop us now…
I ain’t gonna stop until I do (don’t stop it)
I ain’t gonna quit should I show
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
Even if wanna to, you can’t stop us now…

Don’t Stop the Party

Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t,

(verse 2)

You could cause me crazy man,
Everyday I’m partyin’,
You could find me at the club,
Poppin’ bottles, minglin’,
Ladies dancin’ to the jam,
Actin’ all day, man o man,
Got me in the mood again,
At the party, partyin’,
Yeah I get that happenin’,
Takin’ shots, whatever man
Party like a veteran,
Music is my medicine,
You won’t find me settlin’,
Can’t be stopped, I’m steppin in,
Keep it goin’ till the end
Yeah that’s right here we go again.

I’m that one that lights it up
We red hot like fire trucks,
Burn that roof, ‘cuz that what up.
Tell that DJ turn it up.
We droppin’, that music, for people all around
We Rockin’, Head Knockin’, Coz they can’t shut us down.
Ain’t Ain’t no stoppin’
We gonna keep on rockin’,
Baby ain’t no stoppin,
You cannot stop us now..

I ain’t gonna stop until I’m done.
Don’t stop it!
I ain’t gonna quit until i won
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
You cannot stop us now…

I ain’t gonna stop until I’m done.
Don’t stop it!
I ain’t gonna quit until I won
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it
Now baby don’t you stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t stop us now…
