Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew - Thursdays at 10pm on MTV - Page 27

ClosetRTWatcher · 08-08-2008, 12:27 AM

First challenge (80s dance move):
SoReal Cru (kid & play) did not do well on this one at all. I just do not think their style works with the retro music they had.
Fanny Pak (ice ice baby) and SuperCrew (humpty dance) were both solid on this challenge.
I found myself getting annoyed by the fact that they were selling this as an 80s music challenge. I think at least half of that music was from the early 90s. I vividly remember this period because I was in my last couple of years of high school and was regularly dancing to this music!

Second challenge (80s dance movie):
SoReal Cru (breakin') did great on this challenge. I really liked it a lot. The bits with the mirrors and the brooms worked well.
SuperCrew (footloose) was ho hum on this one for me. It may have partly been because I was VERY distracted by the weird remix of Footloose. There has got to be another dance movie out there that is more conducive to hip-hop translation!
Fanny Pak (flashdance) was fantastic on this one. They completely rocked it. It was creative, interesting, entertaining, and funny. It also showed a level of dancing that no other team on this show has ever tried.

Bottom line: I completely agree that Fanny Pak was robbed. How can the judges give the critiques they gave and then get rid of Fanny Pak!?!?

SuperCrew may be athletic, but they do not bring the level of performance and creativity that Fanny Pak does. Not even close.

Now we have two of the most boring, overrated (with cocky names) crew on the top two. SoReal and Super Crew are not a dance crew at all. They are just a group of people who likes to spam on tricks. Fanny Pak is THE definition of a Dance Crew. They got the choragraphy, the creativity and they got the movement. All the other two are just tricks, tricks and more tricks. *YAWN*

I am soooo MAD! What were the judges thinking?! Did they not hear the audience praising Fanny over and over and over?!?! More then Super Crew?!?!? I am no longer a fan of ABDC. Season 2 is obviously the WORST. And with the rumor about the voting situation about SoReal, im not going to be suprised if they win the entire thing.

ABDC is LAME!

I honestly think the producers forced the judges to keep SuperCrew. Because of tonight's results I strongly shake my head and fist in disapproval at Randy Jackson and his crap show. SHAME ON YOU RANDY, SHAME ON YOU!!!

I CANNNOT believe that Fanny Pak is out.

Fanny Pak is the most consistent crew.
I can't remember a judging where more than two judges gave them a negative critique. I thought consistency (sp?) was key. o_o

On the other hand, Super Cr(insert ridiculous 3 or E here, IDK which)w had basically a roller coaster ride, they were good, then bad, (mostly bad, in my opinion.)

I honestly think that Fanny Pak was the most robbed crew, both season one and two.

They ARE America's Best Dance Crew

are you comparing based on style? cause of all crews i think SoReal crew is most like kabba modern and its pretty obvious that super cr3w and jabba know each other.

No, it was toward the person who originally says the spoiler. You were just posting a quote of a quote.

No, i was comparing based on the way how they were eliminated. Since Season 1, we all expected Jabba and Kaba being in the top 2. But Kaba, being the most detailed crew, got eliminated. And this one, "most" believed Super Crew and Fanny would be in the top 2 but that didnt happen. And Fanny, being the most creative crew, got eliminated.

Its deja vu...

Lets not stretch it here. Fanny Pak were creative but not THAT creative. You could pretty much guess what they were going to do with "toy soldier" and "wind it up". The Missy E challange was kinda cool though I admit. Take their 80's clothes away and they are a dance crew like all the others, they do similar moves and whatnot. i don't see what's so creative about doing something that people did before, you know, two decades ago.

Between SoReal and Fanny Pak, SoReal are the better dancers, and against SuperCr3w they didn't have the stunts so I think the way people were voting it went based on how they placed weight more on dancing or stunts. In both cases in my opinon, Fanny Pak lost to one or the other.

By most I am assuming you mean most on this board because I know other people who watch the show who think Fanny Pak are just "ok". Then again, this board tends to root for the underdog awkward types. I don't see how soreal sounds cocky to you, actually, all of the groups left seem pretty grounded and like nice kids to me.

After last week's standing ovation I don't see how Fanny Pak ended up in the bottom two, that was just so un real. Of the mixed crews (boy/girl) there was a better crew than SoReal that was sent home what 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think that the judges or producers really want to have a beat boy crew in the finale and they got that with SuperCrew unfortunately because of the voting they will be going against SoReal instead of Fanny Pak. Who wants to bet that SuperCrew is being groomed to win this season?

Part of it could be that FannyPak is from So Sal and thats where the show is taped. SuperCr3w is from Vegas and SoReal Crew are from TX.
