ABDC Week 5

This week’s episode wasn’t that good.  Probably because Janet Jackson’s dancing isn’t that fun to watch.  Impressive sure, but not very entertaining for a show like this.

• Lil’ Mama always ceases to amaze me.  Wait…that doesn’t sound right.  Oh…that’s because it’s NOT right.  But that’s what she said (…) to Fanny Pak.  Great job.  (On a side note.  I just found out that she’s 18.  One small part of me now can understand why she says so many dumb things.  Another part of me is even more bitter as to 1) why MTV hired her in the first place at the ripe old age of 17 and 2) why they even kept her after the first season.  Amazing.
• It’s funny how Shane and JC never agree with Lil’ Mama when she’s the first to comment.  Then she gets all pissed off when they disagree and interrupts them when they speak.
• Boogie Bots always seem to get the biggest cheers.  They got a lot of fans.  No wonder they made the top three.
• Pathetic Vitamin Water product placement attempt.
• Pretty crazy that the best crew all season long and the best crew from last week (and the crew that probably should’ve dominated the most this week) were in the bottom two.  Highly unexpected.  It would’ve been a shame if Super Cr3w was sent home tonight (and it’s arguable that they should’ve been) and I think the judges realized this.  It was unfortunate for ASIID though because they did put on a good performance and they’ve been good all season long.  I think politics was the reason ASIID lost.  The judges would’ve picked them over every other crew.

Only five crews left but I had a real tough time ranking them.

1. Boogie Bots (#5 LW) - Though the top spot may be undeserved, I actually really liked their performance this week.  They did the Janet thing, they did the robotic thing and they were REAL creative with the evolution thing.
2. Fanny Pak (#3 LW) - I did not want to put them here.  I had them #4 at first because I wanted to hate on them.  Their performance was good but 1) I haven’t seen anything really 80’s in their performances and 2) they’re trying too hard.  They are going for shock value and trying to do things to get people to remember (and vote for) them.  But I can’t use those to take away from their dancing so I’m gonna put them here as much as I don’t want to.
3. Super Cr3w (#6 LW) - I wouldn’t go out of my way to praise them as much as Shane did, but I appreciated they listened to what the judges wanted from them and put some more dancing in.  They did a good job with that and the breaking was, as usual, incredible.  The end part wasn’t really dancing but still fun to watch.
4. Supreme Soul (#2 LW) - I was a fan of their performance.  Not as much as Lil’ Mama was but I didn’t hate it as much as JC and Shane.
5. SoReal Cru (#4 LW) - Someone’s gotta be last.  I just put them here because I think they’ll be eliminated next.
