OMG!!!!
I DVR'd it saturday. Watched my first episode yesterday. My impression?
OMFG DO THOSE DJ'S SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY ISH! If I were not sick I would be ON that show. No question in my mind. I don't toot my own horn often (I would go blind if I did), but man.... I am better than every DJ I saw on there, except DJ Paul. To be fair, I haven't seen the other 4 yet, but if the first group is any indication, I am not looking forward to seeing them.
Their mixing was terrible, and that is the highest level I can give it. I can't think of a word low enough to describle some of them.
Their scratching was good on a couple of them, but again, the mixing was so horrible that it detracted from it.
They played the WHOLE SONG most of the time, when explicitly told NOT TO (and as a club DJ you shouldn't do that anyway as a rule).
Some guys just played a song, scratched over it, next song, scratched over it.
Their song selection was amazingly bad.
Their ability to read and interact with the crowd was basically non-existent.
Overall, I was thoroughly unimpressed with their lack of talent as a whole. I was literally upset. If this is the caliber of DJ that gets on that show to compete for $250,000.... I might just attempt to do Season 3, sick and all. I can DJ better than most of them even while I am sick. That in itself should show you how sad some of them are.
Man.... just.... wow.
