Another week down!! Woot!! Okay as you can tell I am way pumped after watching this week’s episode. Not because the dancing was hot but just because I have a lot to say about the performances given. There were no 5′s given this week and I think that has to do a lot with the songs given to the groups. Mostly all the songs were song paced and clearly no group can properly dance to slow songs. This episode made me so much better than last weeks but it was still just so disappointing. Weren’t there supposed to be new challenges with season 2? And what was up with Shane this week? I guess that man got laid this week because he did not go harsh at ALL, which again disappointed me because I always felt he critiqued very at point. Anyway I won’t babble anymore and get on with my review of the dancing.
Super Cr3w 4/5 – Granted their performance last week was much better. This performance was definitely not bad. There is not much else to say though. The performance consisted more of tricks than actually dancing which did disappoint me a little. Regardless though the performance was an A and it was very pumped. If you saw the performance then it literally can stand on its on – no more words are needed. (This was the crew that got my vote this week.)
Fanny Pack 3.5/5 – YES! They were in the top six this week, which this group well deserves. It oozed originality and it showed dancing which to me is the most important thing. I was impressed considering this group is so eighties and honestly I didn’t think they would do well in modern music moves. I was wrong! I agree with J.C. saying that it was sloppily in a few parts but the hype made up for it.
Supreme Soul 3.5/5 – Surprised that their in the top six? No. Like I said in my last post because it is up to American I already knew they would be safe. But this week’s performance was much better. Not to say it was smooth because it wasn’t. It still needs much improvement but I loved the ending bit. I immensely disagree with Shane, they did NOT rip this show with that performance. It was a vast improvement and I clearly see this group has potential. The beginning of this performance was for me ‘wack’ I didn’t like it at all. Very slow moving, very almost clumsy.
Phresh Select 3/5 - Honestly only one word comes to mind: boring. It seemed like a very boring and safe routine. I didn’t like it much and felt they could have done much better overall. The lean back with the jacket was the only moment I thought was ‘cute’ and well done. Kind of sloppy at certain moments and the fact that the song wasn’t a fast pace one only added to the staleness of this performance.
Asiid 3/5 - I liked last week’s performance better but this performance wasn’t bad. Surprising I agree with Lil Mama and thought they could have done the performance in a much smoother pace. It seemed too rush and not very crazy, not at all what the song called for. There was not one thing in the performance that awed me. The dancing and what little tricks they did were half baked in my opinion. I think placement was one of the things that made me cringe as I saw the performance and like I said I thought they were all over the place.
SoReal 3/5 – Average performance just like last weeks. The beginning was the best part of the whole performance but overall it was sloppy. Very, very sloppy in fact. I believe that is due to the song being a relatively slow song. There were tons of errors doing the performance and again like the other crews it was a half baked routine. It was more than obvious that this group did not rehearsal as much as they should or if they did maybe that just means they are not up to standards.
Xtreme Dance Force 3/5 – What the hell!! Better than Boogie Bots, I think not and obviously the crowd agreed. Better than last week’s performance, that can be said without a doubt. Again another slow performance but I liked this one a bit more because it was clean cut. It was not sloppily but it was again a boring routine. There were no big dance moves or big tricks – just clean cut dancing which would have been good if it hadn’t been so plain jane.
Boogie Bots 3.5/5 & Sass x7 2/5 – Half of my last week predications came true. I was never more surprised than when they said Boogie Bots was in the bottom two. American clearly cannot vote to save their ass. Loved the Boogie Bots performance. High paced (the only high paced song of the night) and so super clean and on point. I agree with J.C. in the point of it was not very difficult but it was not boring which is something I have said multipliable times about the other performances. Moving on to Sassx7… I think I fell asleep at one point. I don’t have much to say about Sassx7 – their performance spoke for itself and it was clear why they went home. The difference in level of these two performances was immense and Sassx7 just needs a lot more time to develop before they can compete on a grand scale.
My predications for next week? I believe that based on tonight’s performances and of course American’s voting pattern… the bottom two crews next week will be Phresh Select and Xtreme Dance Force. But who do I say will leave next week? Xtreme Dance Force.
nice review!
I have seen everyone besides Supreme Soul but they are just about to go..but i completely agree with everything you say. whats your prediction for next week? mine is a suprising Phresh Select!
i really hope xtreme dance force leaves. i do not like them.
i dont agree with you giving super cr3w 4/5 they didnt do no dancing! yes i know breakdancing is a form of dance but im talking about other dancing.
You can tell that they really cant dance to other styles. the krumping was embrassasing lmfao
they couldnt even do the simple chicken dance.
yeah i like this crew but when it comes to doing other forms of dancing even simple lil dances they cant do it. they are straight bboys and i dont think their going to win it all
ASIID should have gotten the 4/5 they really put in work
I see what you’re saying. The reason why I gave them a 4 tonight was because their performance showed effort, which can’t be said for the other crews. Yes their non-breakdancing skills need improvement – that much is obvious. Still like I said their entire performance showed effort (the most effort in any performance), which is why they got a 4.
Now you thought ASSID should have gotten the 4. Honestly I was disappointed with their performance. I felt too much emphasis was put in the crotch grabbing, which wouldn’t have been bad if only it had been followed with something that awed. There was not one moment where I felt they stepped to new ground. Instead the entire performance was based on the crotch grab, which to me was done a bit on the messy side. Overall the performance lacked effort and that is why I felt the need to give them a 3.
