ABDC





America's Best Dance Crew is a show on MTV that goes around America to find the best dance crews and put them on the show to compete against eachother. The creator is Randy Jackson the judge on American idol and it's obvious because the show is just like American idol except that it's dancing not singing. The do challenges every week and America votes to keep the crew they want. There are a panel of three judges jut like how American idol used to be and they can be characterized as the others just as well. Shane Sparks used to be a judge on America's Best Dance Crew and he was baisically "Randy" but he has been replaced by Omarion who is now the "Randy" judge. The nest judge is Lil Mama. Whch I don't understand because she's had what one hit song and now she's a dance master or something? That makes no sense to me. She can barely talk right because of this she's obvious the cast as "Paula". She always is complementing a costume or something and when she actually does critique the Dancing it's either somthing that another judge said or makes no sense. There are very few times that she has a good critque. The last jugde is Jc from N*sync. He of course is "Simon". He is always critisizing every little thing that the dance crew does wrong. It's like he's looking for them to mess up. Even though that's annoying it helps them get better as dancers. Now another similarity between the two shows are the hosts. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American idol and he is baisically a pretty boy. For America's Best Dance Crew they picked Mario Lopez another pretty boy to be the host. he's a Latino version of Ryan. Now to the dancing part of the show. The crews have to do challenges each week. I personally hate that they have to do these challenges. I would rather the show just pick an artist and then the crews have to chose a son that artist has song and then just battle on the stage. That way the crews
cans show of their own style and not something else. Then the show would have more diversity and wouldn't be based so heavily on hip hop
like it is now. I have only liked two dance crews out of all the seasons and they are the jabbawockeez and Afroboriké. Afroboriké was a
Cuban-Puerto Rican dance crew and I was impressed on how they mixed their Latino dance moves with hip hop. They should have won
season four. They only were in the bottom two once. They lost to We Are Heros an all girl crew who in my opinion wasn't all that good. But I
have to say hands down my favorite crew and the best crew out of all the seasons has to be the masked crew of guys the Jabbawockeez!
This crew dominated the first season of America's Best Dance Crew and won first place. They were unique from the very begining because
they wore these white masquerade like masks when they danced which set them apart from the rest. But what really blew them out of the
water is their dance moves! They were NEVER in the bottom two and they had no reason to be. Week after week they came out and they
didn't disappoint! If I were the other crews I wouldn't have bothered showing showing up let alone dance. After them other crews in my
opinon didn't reach the level they were at and every season since the first on has seemed dry to me. I feel that they will always be the best
dance crew.
