Week of Lil Wayne:
I had no idea that the season was even starting! Thank goodness my DVR was set to record all new episodes! What a nice surprise!
The show started with half the crews performing. First up was a huge group routine. I don't know who choreographed it-but I LOVED it! I always like to see a bunch of really good dancers combine. I liked how each crew's entrance and exit sort of melted into each other.
Another nice dance surprise was that this year's new judge, is Dominic from So You Think You Can Dance AND from America's Best Dance Crew season 2. He joins Lil Mama and JC Chasez who have been around since season 1. I do miss Shane Sparks..where did he go? He was an original judge and choreographer from So You Think You Can Dance. I wonder if he will be on that show more. I hope so!
First up, was I AM ME from Texas. ANOTHER surprise, another So You Think You Can Dance Alum-Phillip!!! They specialize in something called Brain Banging which is creating pictures and illusions within their crew. That was different but very cool. I like how this crew was diverse!
Next was Phunk Phenomenon from Boston Mass. I always love the backstory. This group is made up of 3 brothers who are dancing in memory of their recently deceased father-sweet. I like how there is one girl in the group. She held her own with the dudes. They were pretty hard hitting and in sync. There was a part where one guy threw himself across the stage landing on his belly-WOAH. They called him LeBron because he looked like LeBron James.
Then there were some girls called Request from New Zealand. They call their dance Poly-swag. They were pretty good even though they had crazy loud clothes on. I wonder how the girls will hold up against the boys. So, ths group is from New Zealand..but isn't this AMERICAS BEST DANCE CREW? I will see how that plays out.
Next there was Eclectic Gentlemen from Hollywood, or really from all over America joined together. I really don't know too many Lil Wayne songs...and they danced to one I didn't know. Their dance was good..another sharp, hard hitting routine.
Finally there was Street Kingdom. They are a CRUMP Crew which is a very large and exaggerated high energy type of hip hop. AND I think they were my favorite. I am a little shocked to say that. The judges seemed to like them a lot-they got a standing ovation.
I like the way the show does eliminations. This week, the judges eliminated one crew and it was Eclectic Gentleman. It was a little shocking as ALL the crews were really awesome. I think it is going to be a tough season! I CAN'T WAIT!! When this season is over, it might be time for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! MY FAVORITE. This will do for now.
