Okay, so my local youth group may be having a talent show soon, and I was wondering. What would be a good song to yo-yo to in front of a lot of non-yo-yoers? Just wondering, I would like suggestions. Thanks, ~Shadowz143 ---

Anything upbeat would work. If you can keep up with the tempo Dubstep or any techno is always popular for better or worse. I used a Legend of Zelda Theme remix at my last talent show and will be using Derezzed from The Tron Soundtrack at the end of the year talent show at my school. ---

Agreed with sirnaq need something upbeat and fast paced like the songs he used tron legacy etc. I used Beggin by Madcon for my last talent show everybody loved it ---

I think Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas would be a good song. It has a lot of good spots for eli hops and I know non yoyoers love eli hops. There’s a couple of partially slow spots where you could fit in a couple of technical tricks. ---

Haha, there was not many people. There were two guys singers, a comedian, a guy who could make a dolphin noise, (lol) and a group of girl singers with a guy guitarist. I may be able to get a vid up later, not sure if one was taken… But, I made so many mistakes. 😛 I barely had a routine. My 4a yo-yo fell, my 5a messed up, and my first 1a yo-yo got a snag. But, the judges liked it because I did eli hops at a great time in the song, and I also did a lot of body involved tricks. I even jumped off the stage (over a trapeze) Oh yeah, I also did a grind inside of my fedora. So, easy to impress non-yo-yoers. 😃 ---

I’m actually doing something quite similar on the 8th (If I so choose.). I’m hoping I can sling together something I can’t screw up (I suck in front of people.). For songs (If I can use one.) it’s going to be something from Miike Snow, Daft Punk, or Hudson Mohawk. ---
