Kanda Kid Battles It Out With Kanda King

By Geoffrey Korio

Pulse: On dancing styles

Kanda King: Has a more established dance trademark and because of over confidence, would probably think of himself as a better dancer than his son.

Kanda Kid: Has that surprise up his sleeve strategy and would probably conjure up a new manoeuvre to woo the crowd and defeat his father. 

P: On wowing the fans…

King: Is likely to grab the attention of the fans for an adequate period of time but will likely to lose them if he extends his performance.

Kid: He will get noticed from the get go, with the ladies going ‘awww, he is so sweet’. His baby face on stage is a definite shoo-in and a chip from the old block.

P: On reversed roles

King: Would probably be a rowdy belligerent kid who wants everything to go his way.

Kid: Would probably play the ‘innocent kid’ and come across as a bit serious than his father, but that would also not prevent him from getting his own way.

P: On likely role model:

King: Most likely admires boneless role models from the ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ generation like Charlie Chaplin to Kanda Bongoman Michael Jackson and even Mr Bean.

Kid: Obviously apart from his father, he is from the ‘Angry Bird’ generation likely to be influenced by stars such as Jaden Smith, Justin Bieber and Chris Brown.

P: Fashion style:

Their choice of threads would probably be similar, with both going for the same colourful, tight-fitting clothes and rubber shoes.

P: When in a vulnerable situation:

King: Would dance his way out of it

Kid: Would plead for dear life

P: On heeding advice:

King: Trust him to be the one paying close attention to the advice only to do the exact opposite of what he was told.

Kid: He is likely to heed half of it and ignore the other half.

P: In another world:

King: Would be a loan shark running havoc in some rural town

Kid: Would grow up, do some business studies and settle as some colourless accountant 

P: Future trends:

King: Is already successful

Kid: His early exposure to a plethora of showbiz opportunities and a better developed industry might just make him more successful than his father, if he plays his cards right.
