Ah-back to the regularly schedule posts! ABDC is back for their 5 Season and all I expect is greatness and pushing the direction of the competition far away from last season. Starts Sunday January 31 (Canada) BUT! With season 3 i was able to find YouTube clips Friday morning after the Thursday showing in the States.
So check back every Friday from the 29th (hopefully the vids will stay on for a long time before it gets deleted).
About Season 5: • A new judge will be replacing Shane Sparks (after his arrest and allegations) • Omarion has been announced as the new judge for THIS Season • There will be 3 Audition Shows Split into South (This Week), East (Feb 4–US), and West (Feb 11–US) • Each Audition show will be a battle for the top 3 out of 5 crews from each particular coast. • Once the top 3 are selected from each coast the actual show will begin • Highlights on the selected crews include a Canadian Crew (mentioned as Foreign?), three 16-year-old participants, a Jump rope crew (WTF?), A crew featuring two members from Status Quo who were 2nd Place after JBWKZ from Season 1 (is that even allowed?)
Competing Crews (Audition Round):
South Jungle Boogie: Incorporating "Crakin" style Ghost: featuring a sob story but said to be a hard hitting crew X–Treme Motion: Booty poppin girls who "buck"(?) Royal Flush: a crew who auditioned for every single season Swagger Crew: Breaking away the trendy dance steps for the ATL
East Saltare: Six of the best Jump Ropers in the USA (wha?) Blueprint Cru: 1st crew from Montreal, Canada Legendary Seven: Return of E-Knock & another member from Status Quo Static Noyze: Mixture of out of the box hip-hop & contemporary draZtik: The only dance crew from Providence
West The Blended Projekt : Cloggers creating a new style called "blending" BreakEFX: Breakers bringing choreography this time around Heavy Impact/Effect: Breaking the stereotypes of big dancers Poreotix/Poreotics: Tight–intricate crew bringing comedy to the stage Hype 5-0: First Hawaiian crew bringing traditional dancing & hip-hop
Featuring dance footage of some of the crews
Interviews with co-creator, KB of the JBWKZ, Shane Sparks, and Poreotix
Out of all 4 seasons Fanny Pak was the one crew that fully changed my mind about their whole style and talent. Proving themselves each week they are probably one of the only crews with a total different style aside from hip-hop to excel in the competition.
Sidebar: Just look at the audience's reactions from the auditions to their 5th performance.
After the short lived 7th month series of Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien I wanna share with you some the most funniest segments and skits on the show (like the Magna skit). I've been watching the show since it aired back in June and these clips are proof of why Conan is the most funniest late night talk show host.
Here are my favorite clips from June – September 2009:
Over the holidays I've been working on compilations from Season 2 for the top 3 crews. Amazing each one distinct from the other which made this season more diverse. There's also another bonus compilation I made so there are 4 new compilations coming up, stay tuned.
