Okay can someone please tell me why........... all the girls lip sing to every song? This is not a lip singing competition it is a cheer competition! Dance, stunt, tumble, but why LIP SING? LAME! Also, why do most of the teams keep shaking their upper body (if you know what I mean).... aren't they kids? It is a little inappropiate! I mean the older ones, 18 maybe, but little kids? Come on!

It's part of the showmanship and for most kids lipsincing and "shimmy-ing" (is that a word? lol) is one way of showing that they're into their routine. Sometimes it can go overboard but I think most of us are used to it and even enjoy it. Lame is hardly how I would describe it but to each his/her own opinion.

Just curious, how long have you been in all star cheer???

I don't see anything wrong with it! I agree with CHEERMOMI2. I love watching the flyers do that too. Teams use certain songs/lyrics in their music for a reason.

Me too, I agree it is all about the show. I love it, the lip sing adds to all of the show!!

It also helps them know exactly what they should be doing in the routine at that moment. I feel it shows that they know that routine like the back of their hands so to speak. Imagine, remembering all those 8 counts, each motion/stunt seqeunce & tumbling pass performed perfectly all the while putting on a preformance. It amazes me frankly!

My favorite was Cali Sr Unlimited Co-ed 5! I looooooved their routine and energy. It was a great show!
I like that West Coast All Stars received a bid to Worlds. Their excitement was catchy and their parents?! Loved watching their excitement too!
I liked this comp. They did a great job considering how many teams they had performing.

i LOVE singing the routine. and all the shimmy-ing helps loosen up my body when i'm doing the routine. it's great. haha. and singing the lyrics shows that the girls are into the routine. i also think it looks fiercer than doing big facials.
i really enjoyed watching fierce senior 5 and ca unlimited coed. also, all the cheerforce teams looked amazing.

the junior 5 division is always a great one to watch too. :)

overall a great comp. this is by far my favorite one that we attend.

I LOVE the lip singing! Agree adds great showmanship! How boring would it be if the just did the routine...When they lip sing and get all into it, you know they are having a blast and that is what it is all about!!!!!

Just wanted to say that I thought this was a great run competition. Nice to have one run on time. It seemed so organized. My favorite routine of the day was Cali's Internation team. It was so exciting and nice to see all the different gyms out there supporting them. Also liked that they stressed sportsmanship at the awards. BTW, OC, how is your little flyer from Senior 5? Heard she broke her arm or something during warm ups and competed anyway? Hope she is okay.

Yeah they picked it up after the 1st day having all those drops in the stunts and the pyramid. But the second day was so good. Way to go! Congrats Cali!

SR. 2 was a very good division (LRG) American was in 2nd and dropped day 2 and dropped down to 4! it was crazy.

cali Sr. Silver changed just about everything including music.. they looked absolutely fab! Robbi and sr.silver deserved that win hands down (IMO)

i really enjoyed Fierce Legend those girls know how to perform they only hand couple touchdowns boths days if im correct!

nevada Encore i wish would have stuck they had really bad issues in the pyramid and in partner stunts they are such a talented gym/team i wish they would have stuck!

CALI sm sr. brought the house down loving the new dance those girls always give me chills with the way they perform. too bad they dropped but doesnt matter because they got their paid bid CONGRATS!!!

CALI COED was sick! no need to say more and cali girls for sure rock our world!

Apex looked good i liked the little changes they had in their partner stunts!

The one thing i noticed this weekend that Cali Coed has over Top Gun is that their girls work the crap out of their tumbling! Omg some of those ladies tumbling passes were amazing! It's great to see that they aren't only used to be flyers like majority of the girls on Top Gun. Can't wait til Worlds! It will be a showdown!!
