ABDC Season 6 Finale!
Alright first off sorry for not blogging lately, I'll try to explain in a later post. The season 6 finale of ABDC was last night and I have to say it was the best season finale yet! Not because of Iconic Boyz and I aM mE but because ALL of the winning crews came back! Let's just get this out of the way...hooray I aM mE, but were you surprised? No. They deserved it, moving on. They season 1-5 champions performed starting with Poreotix, their performance was cute. We Are Heroes, their performance was nice. Quest crew (without D-Trix, I was not aware that he is not actively part of the crew anymore *insert sad face here*) their performance was Awesome, that back breaking move? Yikes! Then Super Cr3w performed, their performance was hot, I think hands down Super Cr3w were the hottest dudes on the show period. Followed by the dudes in Supreme Soul then the dudes in ummmm oh yeah Phunk Phenomenon. Then ladies and gentle Jabbawockeez came out and showed all 'em why THEY are the best crew EVER! Ok that's all gotta go. Want to see the full epi go to mtv.com. Boom.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 7
We are down to 4 crews now and this week was the Nicki Minaj challenge. So Nicki Minaj, her butt and the voices in her head came down to the ABDC set to deliver dumb challenges to the crews. First off before we get to breaking down the crews, that opening number? Sick.
I aM mE: although this was not my favorite performance of theirs this crew delivers everytime and we all know they're going to win so let's just hand them the little weird poorly made bboy trophy now please!
Iconic Boyz: I actually really liked this performance, I am increasingly impressed by how clean and precise these boy(z) are. In about 10 years holla at me T-Money (no pedo)
Phunk Phenomenon: They were in the bottom this week. I've said this before and I'm saying it again, there are some hot azz dudes in this crew, but I just.dont.like.them. I just don't. But the dudes are hot. The routine was okay, I think they had way too many things going on at once.
Street Kingdom: SK was in the bottom this week as well which im not surprised about. I totally agree with the judges critique of the routine took too long to start, but when it did, it was fantastic. Every time they step on the stage they bring such power and intensity and they give their all every single week. Its absolutely inspiring.
So Street Kingdom got sent home this week. I do NOT agree with this decision, Phunk Phenomenon should have went home, I don't get the judges fascination with this crew I just don't. Next week...eh who cares about next week, just give I aM mE their trophy and let's wrap this biotch up. Here's the full episode.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 6
Sorry I am just now getting to this post. I've been ill all this week and today I fell like I'm at 95% health wise so, hooray. I am going to make this nice, short and sweet...FINALLY INSTANT NOODLES IS GONE!!!! YAYAAAAAAYAYAY. If you read my ABDC posts from this season you know that I never liked Instant Noodles and week after week they were saved, and now they're gone. Woot. Once again Street Kingdom was down at the bottom which didn't surprise me and I think they will be in the bottom next week, but this week their performance was great. You did see a growth in the choreo and in the end it won't be enough but I think they are a great asset to the show. Let's not kid ourselves here, we already know who's going to win this season: I aM mE, duuuh. Week after week the serve us with amazing visuals and crisp choreography. So let's just end the season now and give them the crown. Thanks. My predictions for next week's bottom 2 is Street Kingdom and Phunk Phenomenon.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 5
Alright this week we had the "Rihanna Challenge" where every crew had to incorporate Caribbean dance moves. Although the only caribbean dance move Rihanna does is the dutty wine. Anyways let's get to the crews.
Instant Noodles: Yes, Instant Noodles was the first crew saved. No I am not happy about this, if you don't already know my disdain for these guys, read previous ABDC posts. But I have to agree with D-Trix, it was their best performance, howeves that's not saying much. I still think they're the weakest crew on the show.
Iconic Boyz: I have to say this was not my favorite performance of theirs. This was the first week where they looked like a little boy band to me. But it works for them and that's all i have to say about that. P.S.....T MONEY!
I aM mE-ok so that first move? KILLER! That routine right there? The best of the season so far in my opinion. Every season it's that one routine that stands out, and I feel this is THE routine of this season. I love the way they took the simple task of the "spiderman dance" and based the whole routine around it. Brilliant.
Street Kingdom-I liked this performance, I thought it was cute. I can't believe I'm going to say this but...I kind of agree with Lil Mama's critique (minus the crying :rolls eyes:) They do need to step up cause the choreo itself is not strong. When they try to incorporate the krump and the choreo together it can feel a bit start and stop. But ol girl killed it though.
****Bottom 2****
Phunk Phenomenon: even though I do not particularly like this crew they got some hot dudes up in there. This routine was aiight, nothing special. The b-boy of the crew is tight though.
787: the routine was 'meh'. I felt that they were holding back, the routine felt incomplete, like they were on the cusp of something but didn't fully reach it. Also I don't think they really performed their given task...I just realized they have some wonky haircuts. Is that what's poppin in Puerto Rico...hmm. Oh yeah they got sent home. Womp Womp
Finishing touches: I have nothing much else to say about this week's episode. I think the bottom 2 next week will either Iconic Boyz, Phunk Phenomenon or Street Kingdom. I know I aM mE is not going anywhere b/c of that routine (although you never know how voting goes, Iconic Boyz' crazed fans will prolly vote a lot) and for some reason Instant Noodles just won't go away. Till next time kids. Here's the full epi.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 4
Sorry it took me so long to write about last week's show. My work schedule has been a bit wonky this week. I am going to do things a bit differently and not critique every group because, well, im lazy. This week's episode was quite a doozy for me. I am genuinely upset by how the bottom 2 came out. Also there was quite an intense exchange between JC Chasez, Lil Mama and D-Trix ayyyyyee. Their rift came after D-Trix told Iconic Boyz that he did not like their routine and that their task of building a wall was weak which I agree with. However I did like the routine. All the rest of the crews eh eh bleh, let's get to the bottom 2. So this week my 2 favorite crews Street Kingdom and Request were in the bottom. I actually predicted in the previous ABDC post that SK would be in the bottom, but to have Request in the bottom AGAIN over INSTANT NOODLES, so wrong on many levels. Both crews did their thang but Street Kingdom totally delivered and in comparison smashed Request unfortunately sending them home. I think Street Kingdom will be in the bottom 2 again next week, I dont know who the second crew will be but im hoping Instant Noodles would be. Here's the full epi, if you care.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 3
Ok so we are officially into the sixth season of the show. This week is Black Eyed Peas week and I'm pretty excited because whether you love or hate them BEP makes great music to dance too. Let's get right to the crews.
Iconic Boyz: I actually think they killed this routine. I think the judges can't see through the cuteness of the boys cause if a crew of older people did this same routine I think they would be more expressive about it. I believe the choreo was on point and they are definitely a crew to watch out for. And the chubby kid T Money, is officially my hero!
Phunk Phenomenon: although I was upset to not only hear they made the show but was one of the first crews announced, I have to give it to them they (in lil mama voice) "turnt it up". They are still not one of my favorite crew though.
IaMmE: This routine was pretty cool, when it comes to tutting and creating illusions this crew has it down pact. Their robot task was dope, I just think they need to step it up in the choreo.
Street Kingdom: :sigh: I deemed this crew one of my faves early on but even I knew when it comes to challenges every week the intensity of rawness of the first week's routine will not shine through. I hope they find a way to introduce choreo into their crumping or im afraid they'll be going home soon.
787: they definitely stepped it up from last week in my eyes. I enojoyed the choreo, the stunts, all that. Muy bueno.
Instant Noodles: I just can't get into these guys, I think the voters of ABDC is just enamored with the "asian bboy crew" thing that they can't see these guys aren't that good. Their routine was lacking for me once again. The video game task they did was pretty cool but there's nothing special about these dudes to me. Sorry.
-The bottom two-
So my predictions for the bottom 2 last week were totally wrong. I mean like way off and I was very upset that Request was in the bottom 2!! (i take this show very seriously, i know sad right?) I think because of what I said in the post about the season premiere that they got the worst song of the night and they really couldnt bring it. Now I know that if you are a good dance crew you should be able to dance to any song but come on that song sucked! Anyways the 2nd crew in the bottom 2 was Footworkingz which surprised me. I guess sometimes its hard for the general majority of voters to latch on to certain dance cultures :kanye shrug:
Footworkingz: the routine was ok, the task of the illusion of floating was eh. I think they just came out on the stage with a defeatist attitude. They gave up to early and to me it showed. *spoiler alert* they got sent home.
Request: These girls killed it!!!! I loved this routine and they executed the task of cloning to a T. I think America will now see what I saw in these girls from the beginning.
Finishing touches: As I said before T Money is my new hero. As the seasons go on Lil Mama's commentary continues to make less and less sense, she is definitely the Paula Abdul of ABDC. It's like she speaks Clingon or Pig Latin. She does not speak in complete sentences, there is no nouns or verbs when she speaks. D-Trix is still awesome and adorable and JC is always the stern voice of reason. My bottom 2 for next week is Instant Noodles and I hate to say it but I think Street Kingdom will be up there as well. Here's the full episode.

ABDC Season 6 Episode 2
Last nights episode bought on 5 more crews to contend for a spot in the ABDC line up. The show had an opening number featuring a crew of tween boys and a crew of pole dancers dancing in the same routine. Am I the only one that thinks this is awkward? Alright here is my non expert critique of the the nights crews.
Footworkingz- This Chicago crew definitely bought the footwork to the stage. I got gassed out just watching them! I commend them immensely for keeping that energy through the entire routine.
787-a crew of Puerto Rican dudes? Si Por favor! But no really, they were pretty good the tricks were dope. But I was not excited about their performance. They definitely should spread the tricks out and add more choreo.
Iconic Boyz-this crew of lil guidos are cute in theory but honestly I was annoyed before they even danced. However by the end of the dance I was quite impressed. They are taught by Geo who was in Season 1's crew Iconic, so I know all of their choreo will be well put together and clean. I think they could stay on the show for a while with all the votes they will be getting from the young ladies. Shout out to the chubby kid! He was killing it!
Jag6ed-a crew of pole dancers? Ugh. Although I do applaud the ladies for their ability to coordinate synchronized moves on the pole...no...just no...*spoiler alert* they got sent home, thank goodness.
Instant Noodles-seriously one of the best crew names ever, and by best I mean silly and by silly I mean awesome. When it comes to asian bboys and ABDC, you expect to see some sick creative awesome stuff. That just didnt happen with these boys this time around. They got pretty burned by D-Trix so they need to step it up big time.
Finishing touches: Now that we have all our crews picked out for the main show I think the bottom 2 next week are going to be Phunk Phenomenon and Instant Noodles maybe 787. I think last weeks batch of crews were definitely better than this week. There isnt a crew from this week that I can add to my early faves. That honor goes to Request and Street Kingdom. Another thing this whole one artist a week thing is getting kind of old. I liked on the other seasons when they had like 1 or 2 episodes dedicated to an artist. But I think its diminishing the number of songs crews can use and if a crew gets stuck with a sucky song thats hard to dance to they can get sent home for it. But I guess that's part of the challenge right? Lastly I just want to comment on how friggin adorable D-Trix is and how I like him as a judge he is a great addition to the panel. Here is this week's full episode.
