Online Previews Dance Moms 3x1 The Battle Begins
We're in dance withdrawal over here at Wetpaint Entertainment, Free Download Video Dance Moms 5th June 2012 Episode On Lifetime Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Dance Moms Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV. so we've been checking out Lifetime's Dance Moms to fill the void. Don't judge!If you're hooked on the sequins and not afraid to admit it, check out last night's finale recap for Season 1, Episode 12: "There's Only One Star."At the end of last week's episode, we learned that even though winning multiple titles at Nationals felt like the grand finale Glee's never seen, we still have one more golden hour of our favorite new obsession tonight.And, honestly, we're psyched. Could this show be any more addictive? Yay for a second season pick-up!Anyway, Abby jets the girls back to Los Angeles, where she surprises them by nixing the pyramid for the week and instead putting their adorable headshots in a straight line across the board. Aww, because they're all winners, right? Not exactly.Actually, it's because in L.A. talent is irrelevant and it's all about luck. Right. For a second there we actually thought Abby was going to make all the girls feel special ... we're so silly.So, the big treat is that the girls are auditioning for a real-life Hollywood music video. (Man, they sure are casting them younger and younger, huh?In preparation, Abby works on a hip-hop routine with the dancers, as she predicts that genre be a huge part of the audition. Little Mackenzie observes, "Abby is funny looking when she tries to do hip hop." Seriously, if this show were just an hour of Mackenzie talking into the confessional cam, we'd still watch it.Meanwhile, Maddie is worried because she's "not very good" at hip hop. What? Maddie not good at something? Impossible!The competition is fierce, but all of Abby's dancers are cast as a girl dance group in an up-and-coming pop star's upcoming video. Cue the glass-shattering shrieking.OK, fine, we may have let out a yelp or two ourselves.Yay, so they are finally all winners, right? Not exactly. Turns out that even though all of the mini-rinas will be in the video, there's only room for one super-special star. And, once again, the competish is on!
After learning the dance for the video shoot, with only one small hiccup (Mackenzie bursting into tears and begging her mom to not make her go back in there), the whole gang enjoyed a fun day of mother-daughter bonding, where the moms got their girls nice and hoochied up for their screen tests.
Then, the competish really started to heat up (between the moms, of course). Chloe was sent to a local acting coach to brush up on her dramatic skills, while Maddie clocked in extra rehearsal time at the studio.
Meanwhile, Maddie's mother was determined to do whatever it took to get Maddie that lead, which included rendezvousing with the video's producer. Ugh, is it just us or was Melissa trying to flirt with him? Needless to say, the other moms were less than impressed when they got wind of their little coffee date.
Later at rehearsal, Mackenzie breaks down again, insisting she can't do it and she's not ready. Luckily, both her mother and Abby are on hand to basically tell her to suck it up already and get back to work.
In true future-diva fashion, Mackenzie mugs at the camera, explaining, "I just cry sometimes; it's no big deal." Like, whatever.Next, the girls get to meet Lux, the supposed rising pop star whose video they're shooting. (We've never heard of her, but hey, maybe we're just not hip enough?)
Anyway, it turns out that the "star" of the video will actually be Lux back in the day, so a mini-Lux, if you will. Oho, now the tables have turned, indeed!
Sure, Maddie seems to have the upper hand because of her mother's brown-nosing and because even we can admit that the kid is amazing.
But here's the kicker: Maddie looks nothing like Lux. What's more, Lux is a dead ringer for Chloe in 10 years! Could this finally be Chloe's opportunity to beat her archrival?On the bottom this week are: Chloe (“You need a challenge,” says Abby. “I need to light a fire under her butt.”), Nia (“You have the style and the sass but the rest of it is a mess.”), and Paige (“You did your job. I want more.”)
In the middle are Mackenzie (“You continue to improve. I don’t want it to be all about your gymnastics.”) and Brooke (“Watch the chin in the chin-stand, no more hickies.”). Maddie’s at the top for the zillionth time in a row.
There’s going to be a scout from the — oh wow, has there ever been a more glaring error in a voice edit? We see Abby, she’s talking, clear as she possibly can in her throaty, scrape-y voice to the girls about what’s coming up this week. And as soon as the camera moves away from her, we hear a different Abby. A tired, sick Abby who has lost her voice entirely, and makes words come out of her mouth by summoning all of the saliva lingering at the back of her throat, thrusting it forward, and making shapes with her lips. Egads.
Anywho, this week there will be a scout from the Joffrey Ballet scouting kids to go to an audition. “Its reputation is unparalleled,” says Christi.
Abby describes the group dance for this week’s Michigan competition: “This is a message about our body image, people that do have work done.” Maddie makes a grossed-out face. There will be two trios, a sort of Varsity and Junior Varsity separation. Mackenzie, Paige and Nia will do a high-energy jazz routine. Kelly is all, “Paige is being downgraded.” Now Brooke, Maddie and Chloe will be the heavily favored trio team vs. the feisty underdogs.
“I don’t understand why she was in the bottom,” says Christi, referring to her lovely Chloe. And we agree. Chloe is a beautiful dancer, and now that we’re nearing the final stretch of our journey with the Dance Moms this season, it’s time to “get real,” which is reality TV speak for “be honest.” Chloe and Maddie are stars. Nia will not be a professional dancer. She can star in the Glee remake on The CW in 2025 as the dark and moody shy girl with the big stage personality.
As an odd explanation for why Abby is having the girls do a plastic surgery-inspired group dance, she says, “I keep hearing the moms talk about the ‘work’ they want to have done,” says Abby.
