CHOREOGRAPHER #1: ANGEL GIBBS
ANGEL: Hi, my name is Angel Gibbs.
I've danced for Mariah Carey,
NBC World of Dance with S-Rank,
and America's Best Dance Crew with 8Flavahz.
My general thought process was just to have fun..
It felt good just to let it all out.
[lion roar]
My typical style of dance would be
in between like, hard-hitting
and then, a little bit of girliness.
Some moments that I would say highlighted my style would be this part-
Tck-tck-tck-tck
boom, boom,
ya, ya,
skiddit, skiddit,
ya.. YA..
It went from like, hard-hitting
to like, "Oo I'ma slow it down and get a little-"
"a little girly for ya.."
[laughs]
I don't know.
I think the lyrics said something about fish scale.
When I go side-to-side..
you know, sort of my girly side.
The chill part at the end where I go
do, dee-dee,
my wrist, so clean,
la-la, la-la,
and I just had, fun, with, it.
You know, just having fun.
Really just enjoying my life.
[laughs]
GORDON: Ooh.
Ooh..
HUGH: Oooh!
Go!
Oooh–! She's na–
she's a BADDIE!
That's what she is!
Woo!
Ayee!
Wooooooo!
Whoa..
YEEEE!
OOOHhhhhhh!
She's nasty..
She a BADDIE!
GORDON: She's fly!
She's got a heavy bag.
It's like that pocket was like, "ooh!"
I want to learn that.
[laughs]
HUGH: I think some things about her piece that really surprised me,
was that it was a lot of masculine movement,
but at the same time,
she added her own feminine flair into it.
GORDON: I've never seen her dance before,
so, the whole thing is like, "AH!"
Oh, oh, oh, OH!
Oh–!
No I'm- take that out.. [laughs]
HUGH: She's just one of those girls
that you DON'T want to mess with,
but at the same time, you DO.
GORDON: The moments, the sauce, where I felt, like, okay,
you're like portraying that artist.
HUGH: She's like a-
she's like my zaddy..
[laughing in background]
"Hey zaddy~!"
GORDON: This stood out to me,
this like, bling because- I like choices like that.
HUGH: The bling part. THAT was fire.
GORDON: She's like, "bling!" I'm like, "dang, she got the sauce!"
HUGH: She said, "KICK.."
"call me,"
"yeah.."
GORDON: "Fish scale, no scale."
It's like, stuff like that, I j- I LOVE that kind of stuff.
Little moments when I'm like, connecting with you,
you know what I'm saying?
DaAaang!
CHOREOGRAPHER #2: GORDON WATKINS
GORDON: What's up, guys?
My name is Gordon Watkins.
Some people that I've worked for-
is Gwen Stefani,
Ariana Grande,
and I just recently did the Super Bowl with The Weeknd.
My general process of choreographing this one was
to be more conversational.
Young Thug, he's rapping,
I just wanted it to be HIM.
I wanted to be Young Thug as much as possible.
He's like, got this attitude about him.
And I was just trying to like-
"Ah-!" like-
find his little attitudes so that was fun to do.
When I usually choreograph something, I love to go BIG.
I like to move and travel.
But for THIS piece, I decided to be a little more conversational
and keep it tied together.
The first half of it, I choreographed in the shower..
I was like comfortable.
[laughs] No-
My general inspiration for THIS specific piece was Johnny Erasme,
aka J Blaze.
Dude is one of my like, ah.
I love the way he moves, and I want to channel that.
He's one of my AH!
My AH!
Whatever that means!
[laughs]
AHhHhH!
[laughing]
ANGEL: AHHHHH!
Okay..
Sorry, we're still recording..
HUGH: WOOHOOHOO!
Go!
It's so steezy, baby!
[laughs]
What? Huh..
ay, ay, ay, ay..
Okay!
He rockin' that Super Bowl hat- okay I feel you!
Oh, God..
How..?
What.
ANGEL: Ahhh! "It's that go–"
Come on!!
That was SO good.
Can I watch it again?
DEVIN: Yeah?
ANGEL: Yeah!
[laughs]
HUGH: I wish I was cool like him.
[laughs]
He's so chill, but then like,
up and then like,
"Alright, I'm going back to chill."
HUGH: Gordon seems like that type of guy where you're just like,
"ehhh-" he was like, "oooh-"
he's–
he's steezy, you know?
He just kind of, mm.
ANGEL: The part that surprised me was the
"yeah-yeah, da-da."
HUGH: Huh..
da-da,
da-DA,
da-da.
ANGEL: I don't know if he was going to go hard or like,
ooey gooey-
he went ooey gooey, and I like that.
HUGH: That was a really cool switch up
because everything that he was doing before that was super like,
backbeats, like- bases, snares.
ANGEL: There was one part.
It was the part with the like, "ta, ta, ta!"
I never- I..
did not hear that in the song.
HUGH: If I saw Gordon..
if I just saw him,
like I was driving by,
and I was just like, you know, chilling in my car,
and I see him over there like, dancing.
Honestly, first reaction, I would be like,
"What is this guy doing?"
Roll down the window,
you hear the music, you see his dance moves and you're like,
"OOOOH!"
"He's nasty!"
I think that's the best way to explain it.
DEVIN: Nice.
CHOREOGRAPHER #3: HUGH APARENTE
HUGH: What's up, guys?
My name is Hugh Aparente.
I've danced for artists such as Billie Eillish,
Jennifer Lopez,
and Jolin Tsai.
I think my general thought process for this was musicality.
I had a really difficult time just because it was something that was very different.
I typically gravitate towards Contemporary Hip Hop,
and I usually like more toned-down..
you know, sexy vibes.
I had to trust my freestyle instinct,
and then, I structured my piece off of the freestyle and what felt natural.
He was talking about a girl
and talking about how he wanted to go get her.
There was some moves in there where I was like, "Ooh!"
Running because, y'know, I'm trying to-
grab that girl but she's just so far away.
I'm super happy that it was a challenge,
and I think that it was really good!
Probably shouldn't say it was really good
because I'm making myself sound really like-
I'm the s**t,
when I'm really not.
[laughs]
GORDON: Come on.
[yelps]
Hey.. come on..
Heyy.
Yeahh! Come on!
WOOOO!
Yeah yeah!
What??
Ughh!
I love that part!
[laughs]
Oooooooo..
Ohp!
Unh unh, mm mm, ah, ah..
Ughh..
Repeat!? Go in!
OOOH!!
Aye!
GORDON: Come on, come on, come on come on..
That was long!
[laughs]
He did that extra credit, bro!
DAang!
Dude, he's so CLEAN, man!
He's so clean.
He hits everything. He really brings out the music.
I'm like, "Ah, I didn't even hear that!"
[laughs]
I'm like, "AhHh!"
ANGEL: Like how can someone be that intricate,
but look so clean?
Intricate. Clean.
Hugh!
GORDON: He just stops, and picks, a pose, and picture-
and it was just clean to me.
ANGEL: I don't know how he did this,
but like, the beat's like, "guh-guh-guh-guh,"
and then the "gunh-gunh!"
It's like, I think I heard them,
but I knew I couldn't hit it.
I could DO it, but it wouldn't look that CLEAN..
[laughs]
GORDON: From what I KNOW of Hugh,
I mean he's super clean, so I- I wa-
I was looking for something clean.
It's the cleanliness for me.
I'm, like okay, let me see the clean.
Let me the cleanliness, let me see the cleanliness.
And he always executes.
ANGEL: And the fact that he's so clean with everything is-
I don't know what to say!
It's so good!
GORDON: If I would've saw Hugh's piece and not like, knowing him,
I would actually think he's funny.
I just feel like his choices like-
of what the musicality was and what the wordplay was,
it's not that he did funny choreo but I would just think he's funny.
ANGEL: I would be scared of him,
if I didn't know him and I saw that video,
I'd be terrified!
I'd be like, "Hi..!"
"I'm Angel.."
"You scare me.."
"but you also seem very nice-"
"and funny."
[laughs]
