'World of Dance': Ne-Yo 'afraid' to score dancers more than 90, fans demand he be replaced as judge next season

Fans aren't impressed with Ne-Yo's low scoring and insights, demand for a new judge next season

'World of Dance' is a great platform for some of the finest dancers in the world to showcase their exceptional talent on the world stage and win the coveted title of "best dancer in the world" alongside a whopping cash prize of a million dollars. So when the stakes are that high, the judges too need to be really good at their job to be able to decide which dancer/ dance group gets to win it all. 

Unfortunately, fans aren't very pleased with the current roster of 'World of Dance' judges. Since the inception of the show, Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo have been the judges. While fans initially loved the trio, of late they seem to be observing some things about the judges which they do not seem to be fond of. The recently aired semi-finals round saw six exceptionally talented dancers competing with each other for two spots in the finals round.

While JLo and Derek gave the contestants scores based on their performances, according to fans, Ne-Yo however was scoring them based on their dance forms. He was also extremely conservative with his scores as he scored most of the contestants within the range of 80s, as opposed to his fellow judges who gave the contestants scores ranging from 80s to 90s depending upon the performance. Also, Ne-Yo had a critique for nearly every performance, which put off a lot of fans.

Several fans took to their Twitter to express their displeasure with Ne-Yo and demand for a new judge next season in place of him. A fan tweeted, "Yeah... Ne-yo has to go next year. Three 89's in a row and each dance was better than the last. He dont know dance.. #WorldofDance."

Another fan wrote, "I am so done watching #WorldofDance this episode. I will watch next to see if anybody gets some idea of what deserves to go through but Kurtis?? DEFINITELY. Savannah? Got ROBBED. And it’s honestly like Ne-yo is afraid to go over the Number 90."

"Please next year have someone else other the Ne-yo on #worldofdance he give no good insight," expressed a fan.

Another fan shared, "Can Ne-Yo not be a judge next season cause... #WorldofDance."

"Can they replace ne-yo already?  #WorldofDance," seconded another fan.

'World of Dance' Season 4 airs every Tuesday at 10/9c only on NBC.
