(EXCLUSIVE) Joseph Sikora Dishes On New Season of ‘Power’ [Interview]
I’m really not here for the gay stuff, but I watched the show and saw the way that Freddie treated his mom -the amount of love he has for his mom and that made me like him. Freddie’s mom was so cute and feisty. My condolences on your loss, Freddie.
Hey Tootie! I see you. Keep doing your thang, girl. Break them windows.
So, was your man gay before he had that baby with ole girl? Is he always high or does he just have dreamy eyes?
Why you have that new ugly chick on the show? She looks so out of place and she’s not that good of a bounce dancer. ijs
Keep your head up – good show. As a final note, I can’t stand that light bright dude that’s always wearing the hoodies. His voice erks my soul.
i loved watching his relationship with his mother!
So did I! Great show! That new chick does seem our of her league with the other dancers. She has nothing to bounce!
Shelby, you hit the nail in the head..I agree with everything you said. I wish the original female Steph was still on the show. I really don’t like the guy with the hoodie either. He’s very unprofessional and starts a lot of drama. I don’t know why the ballet dancer is in a bounce group…she definitely can’t compete with Tootie…Freedia is the Queen of Bounce and light bright w the hoodie want to change that by adding that salsa dancer… I hate the way this is changing and seem like they trying to water down bounce music and dancers!
