America’s Best Dance Crew: A quick recap

Okay, I am kind of pissed off about tonight’s show. Plus, I am kind of tired so that’s probably why I am a little irritable.

This week was their “bring the beat” challenge, where the crews had to make “beats” to dance to. Kind of like “Stomp.”

Anyways, here’s my take for tonight. I’ll keep it short.

Fanny Pak: It was fun, quirky, silly and sassy. I liked it. I especially like how those two were boinking between the lockers and the fat boy. Fanny Pak is hot.

So Real: Cool performance, but I don’t understand why the judges love them. They have great choreography, but it seems like they don’t have an element in their bag of tricks that make them the it crew. And I need to say something about that girl who keeps complaining about her parents not supporting her. (warning: I am about to become an asshole – I’ve had a bad day, forgive me) She needs to stop throwing her parents under the bus and just PROVE that she can make this a career – and with this show, she is already doing so. Do you know how many Asian kids aren’t doing what they want because their parents aren’t supporting them? I was one of them and my parents eventually stopped hounding me once I proved that I can do this writing shit as a career. I feel like she’s using this little melodrama to win sympathy points because they keep on regurgitating this shit over and over again. Please – get a real story that has real issues (like being homeless, being deaf, having a dad in a coma). This problem pales in comparison to what other crews on the show are experiencing. Don’t use this cultural conflict as an excuse. Just do it and if your parents don’t support you, it should make you work harder. Stop complaining about it and do your thing. Okay, my rant is done. Bottom line: they were pretty good.

Boogie Bots: It was fun and creative. Funky and they brought some great moves to the stage. They didn’t necessarily “smash” it, but they did put a nice big dent into it. I liked the whole “benchwarmer” idea of the routine and that “Flashdance” reference was top notch.

So the bottom two were Super Cr3w and Supreme Soul…

Something is wrong here. These two crews were far better than anyone else on the show tonight. Like Shane said, people need to vote. I have come to the conclusion people aren’t basing it on talent. It’s become a popularity contest or people are just voting based on the crew that lives closest to them.

Pretty much unfair, but what can you do?

Super Cr3w is really talented and I don’t know why they keep on landing in the bottom. They killed it tonight with their high flying basketball routine. As for Supreme Soul their rank in the bottom is less surprising, but surprising nonetheless. Their position on the show has been oddly erratic. I thought their hockey routine was inventive and trademark SS – but in the end, they had to walk it out – it was very unfortunate.

Ah well, my Bay Area homeboys had to go home – even though they were better than some of the others who weren’t in the bottom two.

Lesson learned: VOTE.

Wow. I felt like a big ol’ blogging asshole tonight. It’s been a long day. I’ll be happier next week. I promise.
