America’s Best Dance Crew Episode 5

Well this week was different. I wasn’t expecting all the twists and drama. Definitely a step up from last week but makes me think twice about whether or not the show is rigged for views. Then again aren’t they always? The show opened up with an all crew number that wasn’t that strong; however, that wasn’t the tone for the rest of the show.

First two crews were Fanny Pak and ASIID. I thought ASIID has it in the bag since they’re a crowd favorite but no of course not. Fanny Pak comes out on top leaving me pissed off.

Fanny Pak performed to Janet Jackson – All Night (Don’t Stop); probably the most suiting song for this crew. Go figure? Their routine was very sexual and featured a lesbian kiss which was really hot. Overall I would say I liked their routine but still don’t think they’re ABDC material. Judges like them though, like they always do.

Next up is between Supreme Soul and Super Crew. Again, I thought Super Crew would have it but no! Sucky Supreme Soul was one of the top crews; one of the more depressing moments of the show.

Supreme Soul performed to Janet Jackson – Nasty. I liked their routine last week better. I know it’s hard to hit it with such a slow song but I thought they were the best? Not that their routine ultimately sucked. It was good but for someone who boasts constantly, I expected so much more. Even though all the judges liked their routine, Shane pointed out how they weren’t “that good”. Then Lil’ Mama had to butt in like a biyatch and start a fight. Honestly does she not have manners?

Next are So Real and Boogie Bots. This one was hard to say because both were good and a favorite. Unfortunately for me, Boogie Bots were picked.

Boogie Bots performed to Janet Jackson – Control. They busted out the robot which worked well for them but judges said they had some weak points and I would have to agree. This song didn’t really suit them either so for a crappy song I would say they did okay. Hopefully they’ll do better next week.

Now we have the bottom three crews ASIID, Super Crew and So Real. So Real was safe for next week leaving ASIID and Super Crew to battle it out.

So Real performed to my favorite Janet Jackson song, I Get So Lonely. Finally the routines got interesting! Not only was it sexy but the choreography was the best all night. I’m glad they were able to come back from the crap challenge last week. Judges loved it as well. Can’t wait to see them back on top.

So now we’re left with the bottom two, ASIID and Super Crew, where they have to battle it out for a spot next week.

Super Crew was the first to perform to Janet Jackson – Black Cat. They didn’t even know the song but pulled it off. Not up to par from their past routines but I was confident that it got them through. I can’t believe JC still thinks b-boying is not dancing. I’m so glad Shane is part of the judge’s panel.

ASIID performed to Janet Jackson – If. When I saw their routine, I was actually a little worried that they would make it over Super Crew. It was a good, sexual routine that included this really cool chair trick. Judges seem to agree that their routine was good but Lil’ Mama said it wasn’t sexy enough. She’s either blind or stupid.

So with the longest wait in history, ASIID was the crew to go home. It was really tragic but expected. I wish they were still around because they have so much potential.

Next week will be? No idea they never said what it would be. Tune in next time.
