57 Responses to “Justice “D.A.N.C.E.” on Jimmy Kimmel Live”
What just happened? D.A.N.C.E. live? With people! I suppose it is OK but it’s a bit weird seeing people do stuff to D.A.N.C.E. – especially the singer.
it’s “lip syncing” and you do see the two of them at the beginning…they’re the ones messing with the antenna on the boombox. i think it’s pretty cool how they have impersonators of michael jackson, prince, rick james, rod stewart, and [whoever was playing drums...was that stevie wonder?]. i bet the people in the audience had no idea what was going on though.
Justice is a band of celebrity impersonators??….I am so confused…oh wait (end of clip rolls) “these are the real guys right here” thanks for clearing that up Jimmy.
So in twenty years do I get to see a band use Gaspard & Xavier, Diplo, Oizo, Tiga etc. DJ lookalikes to front their song?
haaaaters. i agree, mainstream america wouldn’t understand it without the gimmick. just roll with it and keep in mind how awesome they are live. i saw their coachella act, that shit was fucking crazy- so what if a stupid television three minute segment doesn’t match up to your expectations. get over it.
That was a terrible idea…
2 dudes standing behind turntables and pumping their fists is a bajillion fucking times cooler than that pantomime of crap. Granted – it’s Kimmel, and that in itself might be an embarrassing experience for any self-respecting artist, but let’s be honest – celebrity impersonators are creepy and weird. Especially ones that impersonate Michael Jackson. And even more especially ones that impersonate Michael Jackson and perform songs by a French electro-disco duo instead of the person they’re supposed to be impersonating. It’s all very clever and meta but it’s not very funny. Or entertaining. It’s like paying to go see Transformers, turning up to the movie theater, and finding out a group of dicks in robot costumes are going to act out The Nanny Diaries.
A testament to the way America’s clueless about ‘dance music’ When the fuck are we going to catch up???… everyone is so behind in this country. I bet they felt forced to do this instead of DJing live. Anyways I think it was pretty funny I’m sure 90% of the people who saw this had no idea and more then likely wont catch on…but they probley dug the tune a little bit.
man o man, they did it because, they have no rel live show, they dont perform the music they recorded on there album in any live way whatsoever,, they are not a band, just 2 dude making trax period!,, might as well come on stage and put there cd in the cd player and just press play.
i think they just want to show that this sort of electronic rave music has reached popmusic(!) status nowadays in some parts of the world and how could they do it better than let their song sing and play by their yesterdays popicons?! if they would´ve dj´d or apple´d, no one would talk about it, cause nobody takes that shit serious. but performing live is something that even the def dumb and blind understand. so whats the deal anyways? around 30 HATERZ in this comment section… that´s what i call a good promotion stunt! and they really don´t give a fuck about YOU YOU and YOU! think about it!
WHY EVEN GO ON KIMMEL? WHEN HAS ANY OTHER “DJ ARTIST” EVER PERFORMED ON A LATE NIGHT SHOW? NEVER. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS BORING AS FUCK IF YOU DON’T HAVE A REAL LIVE SHOW. EVEN THEN IT DOESN’T TRANSLATE INTO A 3 MINUTE PERFORMANCE.
I ALSO SHAKE MY HEAD AT ALL YOU FUCKS SAYING, “THEY SHOULD HAVE DJED AND PUMPED THEIR FISTS”, BECAUSE THAT WOULDN’T BE JUST ABOUT THE MOST PATHETIC LOOKING THING TO EVER BE ON TELEVISION.
JUSTICE IS LAMES. THIS IS SOME MINSTREL SHOW SHIT.
I’m sorry – but if you’re a good performer, then you can stand behind a fucking sign that says “I just shat my pants”, pump your fucking fists and get people energized. Justice may not be a band, but it’s not like Kimmel surprised them in their homes and was like: “Hi, I’m Jimmy Kimmel. I have a TV show. Now do some of that music stuff you guys got goin’ on because the show starts in 20mins” LCD Soundsystem (comprised of a full band, granted) performed on Letterman and sounded legit. D.A.N.C.E is equally capable of being performed live. Could Justice have laid down a backing beat while live musicians played the rest of the song? Yes. Would it sound the same as the recording? No. But at least it would have taken an ounce of effort on their part. And if the way they want to be introduced to mainstream America is by having some guy’s dad dress up in a Rick James costume and pretend to play bass for 3mins, I guess I’m completely out of touch with what’s cool or entertaining…
I think they got the desired effect. all you motherfuckers on here having an opinion. since you care so much, congratulate yourself on putting more money in their pocket and making them more famous. The Justice backlash is inevitable and predictable. but stop fronting, this song is dope and still has legs. these dudes deserve all the money fame and accolades they can get. really talented and nice guys… carry on.
It is a little weird, but its cool to see them gettin out there and presenting their music to a broader audience. What I dont get it why would you bother to even write such negative comments. Remember that old adage “If you dont have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut…”. Anyways I think it would have been cool to have those little break dancing kids Missy Elliot always uses, up there breaking and lip synching that would have been way better…
Fact of the matter is they’re fully capable of putting on a blinding live show. And I DO wish them all the best. But this was an univentive heap of crap performance and it bugs me out as a fan, not a critic. Break dancing kids are awesome. Out.
Good for them for doing something original. This “performance” will obviously resonate outside of the blog o sphere, giving them the greater popularity they deserve.
Also, “2 dudes standing behind turntables and pumping their fists is a bajillion fucking times cooler than that pantomime of crap.” Honestly?
word. I agree. I thought the performance was funny and stupid. and mildly entertaining. I thought it was great. obviously those complaining arent in on the joke. Justice is laughing at you, and so am I. it’s all about context people.
Justice are the most hyped thing since McDonald’s pizza. Please stop remixing dance. The French electronic thing happened a year ago and died. Post more Minimal!
No effort what so ever, they totaly could have done a live PA or remixed the shit out of it…wtf…I’m sick and tired of paying money to see a dj stand infront of his serato…how lame…justice is a fucking gimmick!
i think this was cheesy, and a bit strange too, but im american. it’s something only foreigners could do because we americans take these american artists totally for granted, or treat them as jokes. success and then ensuing failure is the nature of all american “superstars.” this is why justice was so powerful in my mind, seeing that they’re “french,” because it was my imagination that resonated an idea of foreigness, non-familiarity that legitimized this strange but ultimately very appealing sound.
this leads to my next point — i was totally disenchanted to see them in San Diego and could go as far as to say I felt cheated, when, to my knowledge, they probably didn’t press a single button during the almost 1.5 hour “”"set,”"” save the play and stop button on ableton. i may be wrong, but the show was immaculate, without the slightest trace any mixing. these two guys made me a fanatic of their music for the last two years, but this recent san diego show, like the jimmy kimmel show, was unperformed, unjustly.
ya the performance is somewhat funny. wish they would have performed with ableton live or something. i don’t know, maybe they could have tried to remix the track live (something like d punk)? though that seems almost impossible
and i like how kimmel follows fads. “tomorrow music from datarock”
that’s so hollywood. ask every dj to play electro.

so basically… justice hired creepy impersonators?! SO CREEPY!! hahahaahh I know that word has already been used fifty times. But really..
RIP RICK JAMES HAHAHAH .. er..
I love how bored Justice looks also.
October 11th, 2007 at 02:42
yeah that was…weird. they should’ve dj’ed and had a band made up of little kids, since that’s what the vocals are.
