VOGUE, HAS IT BEEN A TRUE EVOLUTION?

THE DEFINITION OF EVOLUTION IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH SOMETHING DEVELOPS GRADUALLY INTO A DIFFERENT FORM.  DOES THAT SOMETHING NECESSARILY MEAN BETTER?  HAS VOGUE IN LETS SAY THE LAST 5-6 YEARS... IS IT BETTER THAN LETS SAY 10 YEARS AGO OR 15 YEARS EVEN?  IF THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED TO ME IF I WAS TO ANSWER HONESTLY I KNOW I WOULD SAY NO.  YES PEOPLE ARE FASTER, MORE DRAMATIC, AND CAN MOVE TO ALL THE PRESENT CHANTS AND SPIN LIKE HELICOPTERS, BUT CAN THEY TRULY VOGUE?  WHEN I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO PERFORMANCE WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THE MOVEMENT, THE GRACE, AND MOST OF ALL THE ORIGINALITY.  IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE HAD THEIR OWN STYLE THEIR OWN NICHE THEIR OWN SIGNATURE MOVES.  BACK THEN IF YOU HAD CLOAKED EVERYONE OR CONCEALED THEM FROM HEAD TO TOE THE WAY YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO TLL THEM APART WAS BY THEIR PERFORMANCE.  YOU COULD TELL SINIA'S CATWALK, YOU COULD TELL ASHLEY'S DUCKWALK, ANDRES HANDS ETC.  IF YOU HAD A CAMERA AND TOOK DOZENS OF FILM ON THEM AND DEVELOPED THEM THE PICTURES WOULD DEVELOP INTO PICTURES FULL OF POSES AND YOU CAN ALMOST SEE HOW PALPABLE THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS.  NO ONE COULD VIBRATE LIKE EUGENE OR SHAKE AND VOGUE TO "SHAKE YOUR BODY" BY JEANETTE THOMPSON LIKE LATICIA.  NOW IF YOU WAS TO CONCEAL EVERYONE HOW WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO TELL THEM APART.  MOSTLY HOW COULD YOU TRULY JUDGE WHEN EVERYONE IS ALMOST IDENTICAL!  MOST OF THE ORIGINALITY IS EXTINCT I DONT THINK EVOLVED.  EVEN WHEN IN THE LATE 90'S AND EARLY 2000 WHEN PONY AND ALLOURA WAS TAKING DRAMATICS TO A NEW LEVEL YOU COULD STILL SEE THAT IT WAS THEIR PERFORMANCE AND IT HAD THE ELEMENTS IN THEM.  NOW MOSTLY YOU SEE SPINS, DIPS, CHOREOGRAPHED HANDS FOR A FEW SECONDS, SLOPPY CATWALKS, ETC.  WHEN DID PERFORMANCE BECOME A DIP FOR DIP MATCH OR A SPINNING CONTEST?  WHAT CAN THE BALLROOM SCENE DO TO ENCOURAGE ALL THE NEW TALENT IN ALL THE VOGUE CATEGORIES TO FIND THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE TO BROADEN THEIR OWN.  VOGUE WAS NOT JUST ABOUT THE DANCE OR THE TALENT, IT WAS ABOUT THAT INDIVIDUALS IMAGINATION AND HOW MUCH OF IT COULD THEY DRAW ON TO MAKE THEIR PERFORMANCE AN ART.  I FEEL LIKE THE OLDER GENERATIONS NEED TO PASS ON THE HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION TO MAKE THEM TRULY VOGUE.  WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TODAYS PERFORMANCE, HAS IT EVOLVED OR IS IT NEAR EXTINCTION?
