FINAL RESULT: M.J.C. and FREE are eliminated in this round.
Astro Battleground 2009 Preliminary 4 (Broadcast: 21 Nov 2009, Saturday, 7pm)
The competition gets more intensifying after the previous preliminary round. After having to see Shadow Emotion and La Bella Trio eliminated last week, audiences will have to be prepared to see 2 more groups face elimination. Due to poor performance, M.J.C had the lowest score and was eliminated. On the other hand, Twister XF and FREE had to battle it out in order to remain in the competition.
Alike with Preliminary 3, the theme for Preliminary 4 is Asian Hip Hop. Contestants have to perform to songs from the Asian region, in terms of the artiste’s or composer’s origin. The main aim of having this theme is to present the uniqueness of Asian Hip Hop and how these teams are able to combine their skills and creativity with the songs. The teams who are in Preliminary 4 are Katoon Network, FREE, M.J.C, Twister XF, Dancologist and Wakaka Fever.
Katoon Network used a comedic and theatrical approach in their performance this time. It was a pleasure having to watch them in their Kungfu attire and applying Kungfu elements in their dance routine. Hence, they were best in show. Marcus said that they managed to entertain the audience by telling a story through combining different dance styles. However, Bobby felt that they could do even better. As for FREE, Rambo felt that they lack in portraying their emotions when performing. On top of that, Bobby claimed that he could not see any Asian Hip Hop in their dance.
M.J.C received negative comments from the judges today. Marcus could not understand what message the team was trying to convey. In addition to it, they were not in sync with the music. As for Twister XF, they managed to capture the audiences’ attention by using classic tracks from Sam Hui. Marcus felt that they carried the theme out very well. Bobby suggested that their movements must be neater and more synchronized.
It was a Shanghai affair when Dancologist appeared in their bright red outfits. Bobby and Rambo were delighted to see the girls being playful while they presented an excellent routine. They were good in their dance, emotions and even had excellent eye contact. As for Wakaka Fever, they have only used percussion beats throughout their whole routine. Rambo praised them for their ‘universal’ dance steps and that people could relate to it easily. Apart from that, Marcus felt that Wakaka Fever’s performance was very entertaining.
Who will be eliminated in the battle segment? Will it be Twister XF or FREE? For more exciting dance moves on Battleground, remember to tune in to Astro Wah Lai Toi (Channel 311) on Saturday, November 21 at 7 p.m.
《舞极限》 选拔赛（四） (播映时间：14 Nov 09，7点)
Twister XF 和 FREE 首次跌入 Battle 环节
M.J.C 表现差被淘汰
随着来到最后一场选拔赛，比赛状况越来越激烈，当中参赛队伍更是“劲心劲力”呈现出街舞的精神和精湛的舞蹈动作。上星期被淘汰的Shadow Emotion和La Bella Trio之后，这星期将会再有两队会被淘汰出局。曾进入Battle环节的M.J.C因为表现最差，直接被淘汰，而Twister XF和FREE首次跌入Battle环节，以“轧舞”方式决胜负。
第四场选拔赛与上星期主题相同是“亚洲嘻哈”，參賽者所選用的音樂必須為亞洲區域的演藝者或創作者，呈现出亞洲嬉哈文化特色和再加上各别队伍無限的創意。第四场选拔赛参赛队伍为Katoon Network、FREE、M.J.C.、Twister XF、Dancologist和Wakaka Fever。
Katoon Network 再次发挥鬼马特色，运用老爷爷角色串联舞蹈内容，加入功夫元素和身穿唐装，绝对是“先声夺人”，再次获得最佳的成绩。Marcus表示Katoon Network以不同的舞蹈动作呈现出故事，并且具有娱乐效果。不过，Bobby老师则认为这并不是他们最好的表演。被蓝波老师评为舞蹈内只有动感而少了感性部分的FREE，而Bobby老师看不见这星期主题的呈现。
平均年龄最大的M.J.C.这星期评审给于的评语较差，Marcus不明白该队伍所要表达的讯息是什么？再加上音乐不搭的情况，造成他们直接被淘汰。另外，选用经典歌曲像是徐冠杰的《打工仔》等音乐的Twister XF让Marcus觉得惊喜之外也有带出主题，Bobby老师建议他们在动作上要更加利落一些。
鲜红色性感的服装，有着妩媚、浓浓上海风情味道又“耍坏”的Dancologist到让Bobby和蓝波老师直呼喜欢。舞蹈呈现相当不错，表情也很丰富，还会放电呢！而全程只是使用本土敲击乐呈现的Wakaka Fever水准依然保持，他们说创作的舞步更被蓝波老师称赞“很世界性的动作”，也很有魅力。Marcus老师认为Wakaka Fever的表演很有娱乐效果。
Twister XF 和 FREE在 Battle 环节中谁会步上 M.J.C. 的后尘，被淘汰呢？还是谁的Battle功力最强，能够晋级半决赛呢？更多精彩的舞蹈动作就要留守Astro华丽台（第311频道）在11月21日，星期六傍晚7时播出的《舞极限》。
