I much prefer the less busy and laid back dance choreography of 2nd gen live stages to todays. Back in the day it was all about song quality and vocals. These dance routines allowed for way more live singing cause the performers weren't constantly out of breath. Now days the choreographies are so hectic and non stop with 5000 moves that it makes live singing almost impossible. This is done for two reasons. To distract the viewer from how bad the song actually is and to keep their idols from having to sing live cause most idols can't sing. Perfect example. Wonder Girls are actually performing a song instead of training for the Olympics like todays groups do. https://youtu.be/am3wvhy3PR4
