MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew
I stumbled across a new TV show this weekend that my son and I have gotten into and enjoyed watching. It’s on MTV and called “America’s Best Dance Crew”. It’s basically American Idol for dance teams. It’s really cool though because there are a bunch of different groups with different styles. Each episode they give each team a different challenge that they need to incorporate into their routine.
The video below is from a group named JabbaWockeeZ. Their challenge from the judges was to give the impression of defying gravity.
You can uncover all the back episodes and videos on the “America’s Best Dance Crew” MTV website.

Yea I just want to say when they eliminated LIVE IN COLOR that was not fair. And they kept FISH and ChicKs. I really don’t think they were better and I was really angery. Okay first of all they can’t even dance all that good and there not cute. Oh yea and the guys on the skates are LOSERS too.

I must agree. I cannot believe they picked those girls over live in color. he skaters are ok. Must admit there are 3 very good teams left and it’s going to be hard to choose a winner unless they pull those good teams as well. I will be really upset if a bad dance crew wins it all.

I really like Live in Colour, but Fish and Chicks performance was better then Live in Colour the week they got eliminated.
The skaters got skill, but should have never of made pass the auditions.
The illest crews are JabbaWockeez and Oriential Crew, sorry, I cant remember their name

Ok first of all fish and chics was wack. I don’t know why everybody is so amazed just because one of the gurls started tap dancing. So what!!! Like I said live in color was better.

Live in Colour is hype; however, their performance is becomming to predictable, so I am I’m somewhat bored with them. I totally understand why the judges saved Fish and Chicks; their performance was better, and the tap dancing makes you wonder what can these girls do? You know what your going to get with Live and Colour.

I don’t care what nobody says live in color is better. Who cares if there predictable. There better and that’s all that matters.

Dear MTV,
In reference to last night’s (3/6/08) Dance Crew Performance, Break Skate sucks ass, as do the judges who continue to vote them in each week. Being the creepy older dude on skates is not dancing, and I doubt Lil’ Mama would know that, but the talent of Fish and Chicks alone should have been enough to get them a pass last night. Boo Dance Crew.

the fish in chicks are the greatest they are all hott !!!

I commented eariler that Break Skate should have never of made it pass auditions. I still hold that view, they didn’t compare to any of the other crews, and they lost the battle that kept them on the show, the judges failed to eliminate them; however, their last performance was ill. Dude was breaking dancing while wearing skates.

Yea honestly Live in Color had the whole package. And Fysh ‘n Chicks FINALLY LEFT! Even though they should have left before Live in Color. But Any who GO JABBAWOCKEEZ!!!!! They are friggin awesome!

Mar 11, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Ok… Chari, I just wanted to say that before you go bashing teams left and right, that you might want to spell check your sh** before you come off as an ignorant, angry, dumb a**. P.S. When you are referring to people being something, it is “They’re not even that good,” and/or “They’re better…” Not “there.”

I think that you all should learn what dancing is before you judge it. First off Break Sk8 is an outrageous group. Why don’t you try getting up on some skates and dancing auroud, I bet you cant do it!! Also, Live in Color was a great group, and I agree that Fish n Chicks sucks. They are alright but there are really only two girls in that group that even stand out. Either way they both would of gone eventually, so what does it matter when it was? Last night however (3/13/08) Br8 Skates performance was better than Kaba Modern, but I think that Kaba has a better crew. So I am glad that they stayed!!

May the best team win….(Jaba). Status Quo is not consistent, they are all over (sloppy). Sorry to see Kaba go home, they were great to watch. But you heard the judges… seems like they like Jaba. Takes someone with talents to recognize one.SQ is ok, I don’t consider them dancing, they’re more like stunts.

Last nights show was full of it…..the final should have been Jabba vs Kaba. To me, and everyone ive spoken to who watches the show, last night was the final episode. This just goes to show us that these stupid “america votes” shows are all fixed, somehow, someway. If by some crazy, messed up act of god Status quo wins, that would be the biggest mistake ever. What they should do is have the last two teams battle it out street style. that would be very cool to watch. GL to Kaba, they rock……I would wish Jabba GL too, but I dont think they’ll need it.

Mar 22, 2008 at 8:52 am
Status Quo is the crew to beat they are better than all the rest they are creative and if you went to see a dance show you want to see entertainment, jabba does the same old predectiable things every week
cpooh
Mar 22, 2008 at 8:54 am
STATUS QUO!!!! IS THE TEAM TO BEAT, THEY COME FROM THE STREETS YOUNG FELLOWS WITH NO EXPERIENCE BUT JABBA THE OLDER GUYS BEEN DOING THIS FOR QUITE SOMETIMES THEY SHOULD BE PRO’S WOULDNT YOU THINK
Ree
Mar 22, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Status Quo is SWEET!! You never know what to expect when they are preforming. The jumps and stunts they do are skillfull, sick and definitely take the show to a nother level. And all of you who were hating break sk8, the moves they pulled off on SKATES were undeniably unique. They weren’t the best on the show but they deserved to be there. GO STATUS QUO!!

Im sorry for my behavior…im like totally crazy sometimes but I have a really bad temper… I hope STATUS QUO gets sent home because I am so sick of them and that big clumsly loser that’s always getting the way. I will always love LIVE IN COLOR no matter what!!!

Mar 22, 2008 at 10:03 pm
MUCH better Chari. Thanks for coming back and sharing your opinions calmly. I agree, I like Jabbawockeez the best but there’s no arguing that Status Quo and Kaba Modern are massively talented dance crews.

Jabbawockeez got dis in a bag automatically. Of
course Status Quos stunts iz off da fresh but Jabbawockeez bring 99.999999% more than them.JW’z choreography iz so creative and hype. If they lose to Status Quo, then sumthins wrong.
For all of the live -n - color fans I feel u when u say they should have stayed but even if they did, Jabbawockeez wouldve blew them out of the water and off the stage. Chari, sorri dat LnC went home but itz JABBAWOCKEEZ on deck. Haterz n Byterz can stay if they want but it aint them on stage killin da crowd so if dey think dey can dance they need 2 make they own crew n prove them selves on da next season. Put yo moves where ur mouth is !!!! Jessie @k@ K-c

Mar 24, 2008 at 9:52 pm
I loved BreakSk8 and if you guys don’t like them as much as I do that’s ok. But, please keep it to yourselves. JabbawockeeZ and Status Quo are fresh but, in my opinon Jabbba is the best out of the remaining crews. I had almost cried when BreakSk8 had left because they were the in my mind. I could never do that on skates. I HOPE JABBA WINS IT ALL THEY DESERVE TO THEY HAVE BEEN THE BEST OUT OF EVERY1.

Mar 25, 2008 at 5:54 pm
I think that kaba modern and Jaba are the two best crews. We live in America and of course we cant have two Asian American groups in the finals. Its a shame i have to watch Stats Q do their stupid flips with no organization what so ever. Man when will the media give Asian people a break
RAY
Mar 25, 2008 at 8:20 pm
THAT SUCKS……………..
i THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE KABBA MODERN AND JABBA WOCKEEZ AS THE LAST TWO. KABBA MODERN IS SICK WIT IT BUT JABBA WOCKEEZ IS TAKIN IT TO THE END. THEM BOYS IS DA REAL DEAL

Mar 26, 2008 at 2:51 pm
i thought kaba modern were going to be in the finals.oh well, i just know that status quo will probaly win.

alright.. it takes skill to do flips? [Deleted by Admin] you dumb [Deleted by Admin] it doesnt take no skill anyone can do flips and all that [Deleted by Admin] STAT Q JOCKED OF EKLECTIC too [Deleted by Admin] .. status quo are just circus clowns with there gay little stunts and i dont even thing its tight cause they just do flips jabba does a stunt transition to a break move [Deleted by Admin] beat that status shoulda got knocked out 5 episodes ago [Admin: Try and control yourself in the future Legacy or I’ll just delete the entire comment]

I say its over, Jabbawockeez has the competition hands down. Status Quo just seems to sloppy at times, while Jabba has basically has no flaws whatsoever.
Which excites me cause I’m a fan of the Jabbawockeez, there dance style is just sick.
Though the whole show is just fan based, so will just have to see where the majority of the votes went to.

First all I love the show and i dont think Live in living color should’ve left before fish sticks oops fish n chicks. I do think they had the best crews at the end jabba and status they are both MAJOR!!
I voted for both but i have to say the voting line had me puzzeled i voted and tried to vote again and i kept getting error recordings that the line wasnt in service for status quo but i was able to revote for jabba. Can somebody say rigged……………….i hope not but either way good luck to both crews keep it hood!!!

Mar 28, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Oh and my comment on kabba , they are a very good crew and very good at what they do CRAZY!! BUT when it came time to branch out they didnt do so good. They didnt really step outside the box it was this is what we do and thats it. Its coo though do u and good luck!!
Live in living color very different in style expand the dance moves dont be so repetitive your off the chain show ur diversity more and you’ll be fire!! I think your crew should of made it further.

jabbawockeez are the best break dance group ever.
they know how to tear up the floor with their moves they always bring their own style to the floor.
they are so differant then any other group. they are flowless

Mar 28, 2008 at 6:27 pm
First of all, Jabbawockeez deserved to win, especially against a no-dance acrobatic team such as Status Quo. SQ dont even deserve to be there in the top 2 again them. It is clear that the only reason why they were in the top 2 is because this show is rigged. Directors just put status quo in the top 2 because they needed the East vs West battle. If Kaba Modern was there, itd be East vs East. But still the directors gave viewers a chance to see Kaba vs Jaba, the true top 2 dance crews on the show.

JABBAWOCKEEZ IS THE SICKEST GROUP IN THE COMPETITION. THEY ARE TIGHT. I HAVE TO SAY AS WE SAY IT IN JA JABBAWOCKEEZ TO THE WORLD, TO THE FLIPPING WORLD.

the final two crews should have been jabbawockeez vs. kaba modern.
the third and fourth best crews should have been live in color and status quo.

Kabba killed the history of hip hop performance, the just killed it, and buried it too.
It’s funny, I was telling a friend that Stat were clowns compared to Jabba; look, you all saw Stats final performance.
