The Dancing Floor and the Crazy Horse..

They are two unrelated things, one is the commercial adult show and the other is a reality TV shows (instant voting by phone call or SMS to determine results), but they are common in one thing - DANCING.

The unfortunate news is, The Crazy Horse was shut down on 31 Jan 07 due to poor turn out while the Dance Floor is having its rolled out in the same month on TV.

It might just be co-incidence that the 2 things happened in the same month. But is it really something about moral, ethics; free Vs $; or the easiness of attending to watch?

The Dance Floor as thought to be created in Singapore. But I couldn't stop thinking it is a modifying version of the American reality show "So you think you can dance'". The American one showing talent on individual dancers in versatile in different styles of dance whereas this local production are more team-work from different styles different people which make the judging difficult..

Moreover, this kind of reality show never show up figures on how many votes they got. There might be percentage, there might be proportion but I never heard of official numbers announced. The media did make a mis-count in vote once in last year Singapore Idol (for contestant Maltida be in wild card show). The reality is, the richest the people the higher the chance to get back in since there is no limitation in how many times you can vote.

Well, is just a commercial decision for sure. Don't be too manic about how that would reflects the reality of democratic voting ba...?! -_*
