The award ceremony is about to start.
We competed in Creative Dance category,
and we competed in Stands.
It is now time for our Creative Dance category.
It was a long, hard-fought battle.
We had a lot of teams showing a lot of creativity.
The Creative Dance routine, ours was horrible.
And I know that it could have been way better than what
I'm used to seeing my kids do.
But I'm at least hopeful that we'll place.
The judges may have actually liked some parts
of what it is that we did.
Coming in third place, Virtuous Divine, third place.
[audience cheering]
Coming in second place, from Quitman County,
The Dazzlin Stars.
[cheering]
In first place, from Miami, Florida, YCDT Superstarz.
When the girls didn't place, I kind of expected it.
There were so many different aspects.
The girls could not remember half the steps to the routine.
That was a mistake that I made.
When my girls walked off the floor, it was a done deal.
Point blank, period.
The judge did not have to tally up anything,
because I already knew that my girls won.
In the Stand Battle category, there were only two teens.
The Dancing Dolls did not place
in Creative Dance today, which means we had better win Stands,
or I will snap.
Coming in first place, from Miami, Florida,
the YCDT Superstarz.
[cheering, applause]
The Dolls' faces were so, like, shocked,
and mouths were wide open, jaws to the floor.
It just felt so good because we beat their ass.
Ladies and gentlemen, it was a hard-fought battle.
Make some noise for all the teams.
This is the first in Dancing Doll
history that we came home with zero trophies.
Nothing, no nada, not nothing.
We need to get this fixed right damn now.
[chatter]
Shut up, shut up.
Shut up.
I'm pissed.
Y'all got beat by Virtuous Divine, and the Dazzlin Stars.
You should feel some type of way.
Y'all's routine was just that bad.
You're going home with no trophies today.
On the inside, I'm pissed, because I feel like the girls
could have done a better job if they
had just listened to what the hell I
was trying to tell them to do.
I feel like everybody in the room should be crying.
As a team, I just want us to get back to what we used to be.
Dancing Dolls was, like, unstoppable.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody getting lazy.
I ain't used to not winning.
We didn't win nothing.
That hurt my feelings, because this my team.
I argue, fight, fuss, and do whatever for y'all.
Not for me, and not for her, for y'all.
I take up for everybody.
And for us not to leave with nothing,
that hurt my feelings, because that ain't my team.
It just seems surreal that the Dancing Dolls is
walking away with no trophies.
We didn't win nothing.
That's a hard pill to swallow.
So I need us to get back focus to what we is,
because tonight, that ain't my team.
I don't know that out there.
This can't happen again.
It can't.
It just can't never happen again.
I hope Miami is our wake up call.
I can't let this happen.
I never want to see this happen again
as long as I'm on this team.
Sometimes you gotta fall and bump your head.
Wished it hadn't have, but I'm glad it
did, because maybe that bump on your head will wake you up.
This don't feel good, do it?
Y'all gonna take this loss, and y'all gonna suck it up, and we
gonna move on to next week.
One thing I know about the team, one thing I know about me
is that we don't take losses very well.
So I really feel bad for whoever the next team is
that the Dancing Dolls battle, because the wrath that they
feel and the anger that they feel behind this loss,
that next team is going to get it.
