Ernest
This is Definitely AYOBA.
Chuck Bass
Ah man, where the coloured guys??? Its nice, but they just didn’t realise the HUGE potential this video has…
Krackerr
Is Ja! Where’s the brasse wit the gaps – the toothless wonders?! The ouens burning ‘donuts’ while the kinners are gooi-ing… there’s so much they could have done for this video!
Athanasius Kruger
The toothless wonders with the gaps are hopefully smoking buttons in Hanover Park and does not represent the whole of the coloured population.In case you haven’t read the t-shirt this is a Eldo’s vibe and in Joburg we do not gooi with kinners with gaps .
Jason
Agreed Ernest… this is AYOBA :)
Smilez
Nooit ma bru, whoever uses “ayoba” got no lyn, sies man.

Athanasius Kruger
Joey is a baffoon and a media *****.He’s the only bad thing about this video.The guy most certainly isn’t funny if you have the intellect higher than that of a 7 yr old

Krackerr
This video could have been so much more duidelik if they had to wys mense dancing at old school house parties or functions – where the ‘make the circle beega’ came from!
Kay
I luuuuuurve this track!! JR, you showed them!
J-Girl
That song is sooo Ayobaaaa!!!
Ayobaness its Awesomeness
wayde
Nice one you rock JR
Heads up bra!!!
cheeseboi
VUIIIIILLLLLL my ou make da circle bigger ma se chop !!!!!!!!
Phoenix
Show Dem is a great song to get a party started and the video is cool and very well done for South African standards but i do get what everybody else was saying about the crowd being a bit small. To make it a great video there definately should have been loads extremely hot babes grinding in the open spaces, just to make it feel like more of a vibe. I don’t think that anyone has even noticed that all the people dancing are JR dressed up in different outfits dancing in different styles according to their character. Cool concept but it really could have been executed better, so props to JR but i think a little more budget from the label would have allowed them to do so much more. JR, you rock, keep up the good work and “MAKE THE CIRCLE BIGGER!!”
T 'zzo
The track is banging for real! But JR shouda(woulda-coulda) shot his video up in Eldos or Eesterus or Eden Park(Awe honde!) for that authentic feel and credibility. The graphics make it corny.
denver
cool song, there should be more south africans making songs like this… its the ****!!!
Clarissa
Like the song but should have more coloureds dancing. Thats what the song is about.
Cilla
Thats what i call Ayobaaaa you rock
Tania
Eish guys I cant get enough of this track….its all dat…..the music…well done!! it makes me wanna get up in da office and just dance…
Bruinou
VUIL !!! DIRTY !!! VUIL VUIL VUIL !!!
Misskay
bakwakwakwkawa, FINALLY i hear the song…Its nice i guess.
OfancyMcGape
NIce song but what is it hip hop or KWWWWAAAAAIIIITTTTOOOOO #justasking
Zuki
just to clear the air re the originality of the song, the “make the circle bigger” commotion comes from the “blacks” party/dance moves of “vula sekele” which blatantly means make the circle, what, bigger….
also i don’t know why everything should be labeled in this country, if its a nice song, then say its a nice song without any buts…i suppose you must also be strategic about these things if you want the by-in of the mass market which i think has been brilliantly done by the composers, producers and creatives etc…
with that said….lets make the circle beega..(with that coloured accent)
Happy Friday ;)
Athanasius Kruger
Make the circle bigger to coloureds comes on about a decade before “Vula Sekele”. Its part of Coloured clubbing culture and has its origins even before the “burn” in the eighties,in which participants challenged each other in a dance off in the middle of a circle.Definately more of a coloured thingg
Athanasius Kruger
Who is this JR PERSON? And were is he from?
LALA
this song is off the chain, ok the chorus is, the song is about coloured but this oue is slaaning zulu also, not all bushies understand zulu so its hard to understand but pickups for using our club & party moves……this video would have been better if there where gang bushie by a housa or street bash mos, screaming “MAKE THE CIRCLE BIGGER”
RIAZ
BEST song represent.We are talented and hip as well.It would make to no1 on the dance charts.
SHANE OU
Is this jr a bushie ou? They need to go back to the drawing board and get a better video..nonetheless gr8 song! 2 thumbs up!
Jboy
the track is off da hook but wheres the hot bruin cherries??? Kullid women are hot like Sylvanna …this is a sausage fest whatkind JR? you really needed Show dem what da kullids can do but i think the video falls short of that…but neva da less big up on the track!!!
Bronwen
VUIL VUIL!!! The video could use a bit more professionalism but otherwize it off the hook
Nkosana aka Armani
Hierdie een is vir my ouens in Rustervaal!!!
Skye Tamia
VUIL !!!!!! JR WA ROCKA PAPPA !!!!!
Paco
i have to agree with warren had to have more coloureds dancing its a dull video but song is not too bad
JR must think of a remake video or sumtin.
KiMo69
I think that this song is K@K…
Stace
Oh Lekke no!
Michelle
Good song, video does not do justice for the song, where are the coloureds???
Wing$
ay this numba makes kuk
Disappointed
This song is Ok, not The Best that SA has to offer though! Video was Pathethic, Hardly Dancing, no-one going in the CIRCLE and doing any Styles!
No Coloureds!
No Indians!
No Whites!
NO HHP!
Yet, WE ALL LIKE TO MAKE DA CIRCLE BEEGA!
And lastly, the Primary school Kids from Eersterust and Da Blocks used to say this Phrase: “Show Dem, Show Dem, Show Dem F@#$ing Show Dem” Ages ago before this song came out! So I would like to know where url got the idea from?
Anyways, hope You guys can make something even better than this soon!
Good Luck!
