Mar.08.2008 // America’s Best Dance Crew Recap: Episode 5

This week on America’s Best Dance Crew contestants had to imitate, as well as implement their own, dance moves from Michael Jackson’s Thriller album in honor of the Thriller 25th anniversary edition that is in stores now. Status Quo had ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, JabbaWockeeZ had ‘P.Y.T.’, Kaba Modern had ‘Thriller’, Fysh n Chicks had ‘Billie Jean’ and BreakSk8 had ‘Beat It’. Everyone danced well and executed this challenge phenomenally. My personal favs were Fysh n Chicks for their well choreographed dance sequence and creativeness and BreakSk8 for their coordination and perseverance. But let’s keep it real now, NO BODY can be like Mike, I often cringed at the judges for making such blaspheme comments such as ‘you gotta do it better than Mike!’

I digress, I guess. But if anything I thought BreakSk8 represented Mike the most, being from Indiana themselves, not to mention they danced on skates! God bless ‘em … It was sad to see Fysh n Chicks go, but I suppose it was their time, I hate to admit it, but I strongly agreed with Little Mother here: about how the ‘Love interest’, or lead girl in the pink, was portrayed too masculine for such a feminine role. Over all this week’s episode was exemplary, MJ would be ever so proud, ever so. I’m quite curious how contestants will do on next week’s show, though. Since they’ll be “out of their comfort zone” portraying Broadway, and all. Sounds stellar.

Mar.04.2008 // Reality TV: Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew

Okay, so my current favourite TV show is America’s Best Dance Crew with Randy Jackson on MTV. One thing I don’t get is Little Mother, why is she there? I mean … I know Shane has been B2K’s choreographer for awhile and JC has choreograph with N*SYNC but … ? I digress. Anyway, I haven’t really been into the show until just recently, my home team Live In Color got the boot y’all! I think LIC did a pretty good job tbh, they were totally out of their element with this weeks challenge, so I do believe they deserved another freakin’ week! Guh! Now I’m rolling with the Asians cos they be killin’ it, and I’m anxious to see what they come up with next dance challenge, they’ll have to make up their own choreography to Michael Jackson’s Thriller! This will be very interesting!
