It was a consensus win by both judges and fans alike. I wouldn't go THAT far—it's not as if no other corps have had genius show designs with massive crowd appeal. This superlative still belongs to Star '93, Frameworks (02), The Zone (05), and Felliniesque (14), IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we had the ability to just plug and play them on the FanNetwork. Now, it's hunt for whatever you can find on YouTube. Ah, those were the days! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've had this conversation before. Crowd reaction should play into a GE score so much as the sheets indicate. Period. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newseditor44 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) For what it's worth, I think GE might be to subjective and we're seeing the results of that this season. For the first time in a long time, the corps that is technically superior might just win a championship.

If so, there is a paradym shift in the making - and may be happening right in front of our eyes. Though, I think it is too early to buy into that one. This will leave to interesting discussion as we move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough question, honestly. But yes. Have you ever noticed that some comedies are funnier when you see them in a crowded theater? That definitely matters to your experience of the movie as a consumer: audience reaction helps you like it more. But judges aren't consumers; they're closer to critics. And whether a show flows or not, or is sophisticated and complicated or not, has nothing to do with the audience.
