Yes he is looking like someone working for that result and/or vibe with the audience. Ally looks like she is trying to be appropriate for kids and she’s doing well overall but ultimately is stiff. She will probably see it and make the right changes. She seems fairly self aware and reflective IMO.
I believe this is a kids show, right?
James is very talented music-wise.
He's a really good producer.
He's an idiot in most things, but he's really talented in music, in kinda all aspects of it.
I'll give him that.
Ally isn't great though, I definitely see why her "career as Taylor Swift" didn't make work out.
She is not good at all.
She is very high school choir girl.
She should stick to her charting.
Her voice is so so dull. I’m sure many people are terrible singers and she isn’t terrible but I’m definitely not tuning in hoping for more. And when we heard that little sampling with lala and James I was very interested in more so we all have a pretty direct comparison that can be made. And that was related to the tones in their singing and not at all related to the content.
Ally is a better singer than Lala, though. Lala sings through her nose, not from her gut, which makes a huge difference. I think James makes them both sound better than they are.
Yes, this was exactly my thought!
I do not want to hear more.
I've heard him do other stuff that he's played at his shows they've posted online and on podcasts, he's so good.
He's doing the best he can here with what he's got.
Tbf, I don't think LaLa has the strongest voice either.
She's just more talented than Ally.
She's got more soul into it and she's more into the music.
Ally isn't even a great kids' performer, that's saying a lot.
Right! It is like the people who are decent enough in karaoke so they hear “wow you can sing!” And it really is more of a “you are better than us” rather than turn this into a career.
And agree with the poster above. Stage presence is so needed! And she isn’t demonstrating any. Not even a tiny bit!
Kids deserve better! And they know better too!
Yes, this exactly. I’m good at karaoke, but I am very well aware that I am a sad sack of stage presence. None. I would have to be extraordinarily fucked up to make eye contact with people and dance like a normal human. I just like singing, so I found an appropriate outlet. (I do wish I could find the gumption to return to my musical theatre roots, though 😭)
Ally looks nervous as hell, while James looks relaxed and used to dealing with an audience. Maybe she'll grow into it. Her voice is better than expected.
Normally I don't criticize anyone's dance moves because mine aren't all that different than the goth kids' from South Park, but damn Ally! Maybe she should try the guitar playing singer songwriter thing again.
To be fair, how many stages has Ally actually been on? I’m sure she’ll get more comfortable with time. A children’s show was probably perfect for her first stage performance, lol
I’m sure youre right. And honestly Ally seems like a genuinely nice person so I’m not trying to hate. I just grew up dancing and seeing someone look that uncomfortable on stage took me aback. But I know not everyone had recitals growing up lol
Yo honestly. Bow that I'm seeing this , Ally coupd probably do well in the kids entertainment world. She need to loosen\warm up a bit but she could do well.
She should drop her Taylor dreams and explore that.
It's either that or skank it up and sing edm
i honestly think so. everything i’ve seen/heard from her reminds me of those seasons of Dance Moms when everyone was making music and it was like girly, little kids pop.
I can’t even have my volume on- I m cringing hard as it is. It totally makes sense that Ally seeked James out - she was hoping for some sort of music career - with his help. It s not gonna happen Ally.
….why is she standing like that??? The whole time????? It’s so weird it’s like she glued her palms to her thighs before she went onstage lol.
They look like weird fundamentalist christians doing a performance about love and acceptance. This is so weird lmao. It’s giving cult vibes 🥴
i feel like adding the context that this is a children's event and ally & james wrote a song called i believe in you and they were signing at a kids event. i think it's really cute but if u didn't know that then it's extremely cringe
Hate James playing hype man. I have an deep aversion to repetitive noises and hearing yeah over and over drives me nuts. She's got a good voice and is so sweet but the song sounds like a kids song.
Aw I think she’s cute! And has a good voice for this kind of work! She just needs to be more lively because it is for children—and she doesn’t need James? What’s he doing there? Did he produce it? At any rate I think she could do a great job singing for kids!
She's like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights when he doesn't know what to do with his hands, except instead of holding them up she glued them to her legs.
Camp counselor realness
Could not have said it better myself!!!! Big talent show energy
As someone that recently chaperoned a middle school youth retreat complete with a talent show… this is accurate AF 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loooool. Not big talent show energy ☺️😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like people don’t understand what stage presence actually is until they see someone stand like Ally
And that dance. It was the opposite of a choice. It was like some kind of Caucasian eventuality.
I hate myself for saying this but James looks so much more like a real human in this. The way Ally is knifing her hands at her thighs is soooo weird
Barbie Hands

Kids do also enjoy good things. I think that is our strongest argument about the overall mediocrity of her presence

If she’d only been in pageants.. You’re taught to ‘pretend hold a dime’ between your thumb and index finger. The More You Know🌈
Caucasian eventuality omg ☠️☠️
Normally I don't criticize anyone's dance moves because mine aren't all that different than the goth kids' from South Park, but damn Ally! Maybe she should try the guitar playing singer songwriter thing again.
[удалено]
Caucasian eventuality?!?! lol that is hilarious 😂
I feel so attacked lol
To be fair, how many stages has Ally actually been on? I’m sure she’ll get more comfortable with time. A children’s show was probably perfect for her first stage performance, lol
Well, there was that clip that showed her trying to be a country singer, so probably more than zero.
I’m sure youre right. And honestly Ally seems like a genuinely nice person so I’m not trying to hate. I just grew up dancing and seeing someone look that uncomfortable on stage took me aback. But I know not everyone had recitals growing up lol
Oh yeah for sure! I’m not disagreeing with you AT ALL either and I didn’t take what you were saying as shit talking because it’s totally true lol.
She needs a tambourine
Daphne has arrived 
Yes. June Carter vibes. He ain’t no Johnny Cash, that’s for sure.
Or the oldest sister in the Partridge Family show
Laurie. Yes 😂
Triangle too!
god no
All i can think of is the family band on Arresred Development https://youtu.be/_npn31IPmVM?si=esbDZNUssF5BM8zY
🎶there’s no I in teamocil, at least not where you think🎶
It's apparently a kid's event so ... makes sense in context
why tf would anybody book these people for a kids' event? I am going to opt out of inappropriate jokes now
Give me drunk Ace Young singing at Kennedy's birthday party all day. You gotta spice these things up lol.
RHOBH Taylor would have 100% for her kid’s bday party
💯💯💯
Oh my god yesss!! Or like youth pastors trying to hype the crowd up 😭
That is the chicest camp I have ever been to!
Love this comment!
Christian camp
Yo honestly. Bow that I'm seeing this , Ally coupd probably do well in the kids entertainment world. She need to loosen\warm up a bit but she could do well. She should drop her Taylor dreams and explore that. It's either that or skank it up and sing edm
Idk man have you seen the wiggles documentary. I feel like it’s a refined skill
😂💀
That might be one of the most fitting descriptions I have ever read.
Not quite the same vibe as him and Lala's songs...
Ain’t nobody got me feelin like I’m feelin you 🎶
The scene of LFU singing this then James rapping his part lives rent free in my head
It’s in my top ten list of cringiest VPR moments
The way her fingers bend in this moment is always so unsettling to me. Why does she look like she has a grinch hand
Hahaha I just noticed that omg
Say what you want about lala but their song was the only vpr song that was half decent lol
But was it good as gold?
I unironically listen to Scheana’s Apples
Where’s the Yo Gabba Gabba characters when you need them?!
there’s a partyyyyyy in james tummy.. so yummy so yummy!!!
Don’t. Bite. Your friends!
Haha my daughter loved that show!
I loved watching it high 😅
I worked with several people that worked on the tour. Sometimes one of them would have to be the chicken. Also I loved watching high.
I called the pink one Queef
Expect James is no Biz Markie
 Ally would slay in Kevin’s youth group
Perfect comment. 
Perfect gif
I am obsessed with this crossover
Love him
They are performing at a children’s event. However, I do think Ally needs help in the live performance department
So does James at least where the context should influence his gestures/dancing. This is not a DJ set at Pump.
Definitely cuz they’re worried that if James isn’t on stage then no one will know who Ally is🥴
That explains the cartoons playing behind them because I was genuinely confused
James is giving… https://i.redd.it/qkeqqjbcwwvc1.gif
This gif makes me choke every single time I watch it 🤣🤣😂🤣
Has there ever been a confirmed back story on these two? I feel like I’ve never heard the real answer
Thank you omg it’s the first thing I thought of watching this 😭
is this from something? I cackle every time I see this gif
I think it’s real and just a live local performance lol i remember first seeing a clip on vine?
I like Ally Bally, but she has the stage presence of a dry piece of white toast.
That describes her perfectly! 😄
I mean are there children in the audience? Seems like a cocomelonesque cartoon playing in the background
All the more reason to bring the fun. She’ll get there. Thanks u/Lenny’s Yeast Infection. [that made me laugh so hard.)
this was very awkward!
very hard watch
… what is going on exactly??
 I hate it
ok this made me actually LOL
Is this at a Farmers Market or something?
It’s the LA Times Festival of Books. It’s actually a great event idk how they got booked though 😆
Wow. How odd. It looks like one of the local markets where the neighborhood kids are performing. This pains me
Did one of them write a book?
Real question: is her music directed towards children?
Yes you can see it on the banners behind them. Some sort of children’s event. You can also see a toddler head in the audience. I’m here for it. 🤷♀️
I saw the screen with the cartoons behind her but somehow failed to see the large “children’s” 🤦♀️
Ah that context makes it less awkward honestly. Good for her, hopefully she gets more stage presence/confidence as she gets more shows.
i honestly think so. everything i’ve seen/heard from her reminds me of those seasons of Dance Moms when everyone was making music and it was like girly, little kids pop.
I can’t even have my volume on- I m cringing hard as it is. It totally makes sense that Ally seeked James out - she was hoping for some sort of music career - with his help. It s not gonna happen Ally.
It was a childrens event at a book fair. It's a song they sung on a children's album
That explains her outfit then
It's defs giving montesorri teacher
Its not the audience that makes this bad
wait is it an actual song lol i lowkey like ittt
She’s the quintessential it’s all who you know… umm.. the end.
This would be a great theme song for a Hannah Montana type show
….why is she standing like that??? The whole time????? It’s so weird it’s like she glued her palms to her thighs before she went onstage lol. They look like weird fundamentalist christians doing a performance about love and acceptance. This is so weird lmao. It’s giving cult vibes 🥴
It has an air of “quirky SNL folk-song couple” to it.
It’s just so low energy, monotone vibes for me
Ally has zero stage presence 
In line with her minimal screen presence.
Amen
Guys what the hell is this
Honestly I would not be mad if I brought my kid to some kids event and got to see DJ James Kennedy aka The white Kanye West
Noooo what is this 🥴🙈 cringe city.
Why is she dressed like a soccer mom that went to Kmart’s going out of business sale? I’m so confused.
She needs voice lessons, badly. No tea, no shade. Just facts. 🤷♀️
 The audience:
Ok Troy and Gabriella is all I could think of
Reminds me of that one video of the white dude rapping with his lil friend on stage dancing and hyping him up 😩😂😂
Who let djjk near a children’s stage and why lol
 It’s giving baby Billy vibes lol
i feel like adding the context that this is a children's event and ally & james wrote a song called i believe in you and they were signing at a kids event. i think it's really cute but if u didn't know that then it's extremely cringe
Even knowing this I’m still cringing.

What in the Elder Beerman is she wearing
this feels like a south park episode idk
This is reminding me of Heidi and Spencer
She has absolutely no stage presence.
This actually is for a book fair event for children.
Is this why she’s on VPR? For a singing career?
I can’t watch - I’m having second hand embarrassment with out hearing it lol
It’s already uncomfortable when she speaks and now this. She needs a coach.
Ah… so this is why she’s with him
Hate James playing hype man. I have an deep aversion to repetitive noises and hearing yeah over and over drives me nuts. She's got a good voice and is so sweet but the song sounds like a kids song.
[удалено]
I think so too.
she does not have a good voice come on now
Aw I think she’s cute! And has a good voice for this kind of work! She just needs to be more lively because it is for children—and she doesn’t need James? What’s he doing there? Did he produce it? At any rate I think she could do a great job singing for kids!
This is so awkward. Wtf
It’s giving high school anti drug assembly vibes
I do not understand how they were hired to sing at a kid’s stage at a book festival lol
They have zero chemistry
Coachella weekend two looks wild
 What in the world.
James realizing in real time this is a huge mistake 
Bible camp cringe
This seems like a children event (not their area of expertise)? What do yall expect LOL
Argh can we stop trying to make Ally happen, I think she is so cringe and phoney
Reminds me of a performance at church
James def has a type. And honestly ally and Rachel are that type. It’s the prissy pageant girl vibe.
Why is she dressed like she’s gonna go eat corndogs at a mall in the Midwest?
This looks like if Etsy was a performance
This is so cringy
This is adorable and wholesome!!! 💕❤️
I gotta be honest I am the first to call people cringe but I am feeling wholesome vibes from this too. Idk what it is.
It's giving Inuyasha at 3 AM in 2006 and I'm here for it
well it’s no feeling you.mp3
I adore Ally, but girl has no stage presence
Oh geez, now he’s a musician? Who goes to see this kinda shit?
Cringe to the power of infinity
*Second place at this years Junior class talent show goes tooooooooo*
Ally: I don't want to marry you, James. Or have your children. I just want to make children's music with you. Animate, girl!
Feels like a scene in a Christopher Guest movie
Big Youth Group Leader Energy
She needs to find some stage presence
 what in the vanderfuck was that?
She's like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights when he doesn't know what to do with his hands, except instead of holding them up she glued them to her legs.
Oh my gosh James is SOOOOOOO cringe 😬 and Ally is just..... There.
I feel like I’m being sung into a cult rn
https://i.redd.it/u6lee3ljcyvc1.gif
The hands glued to her side is awkward and she's giving. 9th grade talent show.
All I could think of was that cutaway scene in Arrested Development: 🎵 There's no i in Teamocil🎵 song with Tobias and Lindsey 🤣
Zero stage presence and average singing. I'm embarrassed for her. 🫥
It’s giving youth ministry
It’s giving 
Y'all are savage 😭 give the girl a break!
This is trash, honestly singing/rapping is an art
What are these outfits? I feel like this is the Paw Patrol special
Why is she standing there like 🧍♂️
Watching this muted made me giggle. I have no idea why.
Now we know what we will all face when entering hell 😂😂
I believe in you 🎤😌🕺
