Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew

[Guest ESTHER.]

Does anyone know if Kaba Modern (and their individual members) and JabbaWockeeZ (and their individual members) have their own threads here on soompi?

I came across a thread for Ben Chung (from Jabbawockeez <3333) a few days ago and went crazy.

http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=202612

Earlier on in the competition, I was sure that Jabbawockeez were taking it home. But after all that I've been hearing about the rigged votes and what not, I'm getting worried.. i love status but

GO JABBAWOCKEEZ :blush:

[Guest thina]

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! omg! i mean for real! and those people on facebook are some losers! thats why they gotta do that crap online..they dont have the basketBALLS to say that ishh offline

damn those asians on facebook are EMBRASSING! what is wrong with them? GET A LIFE..u wanna play or pull the race card? then why arent the other races such as black or white doing all this crying and bullishh about the show? maybe cus they have a life and they dont give a crap about the show or its outcome??

"internet punks" make the internet interesting eh?! hahaha~

and randy didnt want 2 asian crews b/c hes black? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i wish people would shut da cow poop up! if that was the case then the whole show would have been entirely BLACK! ughh i swear this show is really showing peoples true colors! bunch of crybabies i tell ya...and no im not directing this towards you (the person who i quoted) im just saying in general to people who are still stuck on stupid about kaba losing and the people who still disrespect status. GET OVER IT!

that is sooo idiotic indeed...

I didn't like how the members broke away from the stage and went down the crowd to liven up the atmosphere. I mean, sure, the audience were really excited and elastic and all that about it, but as a person watching this at home, I feel like they wasted so much time when they could have gone done some awesome routine (that I know they are capable of).

i think the end was showing how a lot of the hip hop atmosphere is nowadays, how there will be battles and/or one person dancing/doing stunts while people are entertained and getting hyped up about it. *shrugs* that's what i got from it. i liked their performance, not only b/c i'm a jabba fan, but because i liked the bboy section, how they incorporated some toprock, swipe, and 6step. they did it so evenly and smooth kaba modern's was also reeeally good too.

KEEP VOTING FOR THE JABBAWOCKEEZ YALL! ...whether the "vote counts or not", just vote anyway! hahah

[shortboy]

Hmm...well...how about weee......rank the groups performances from your fav to least so far?

Imma just do Kaba and Jabba's since I'm familiar with theirs ahah.

Kaba Modern

1. Evolution of Dance

2. Audition

3. Movie/Sensual Seduction

4. Wall to Wall

5. Ep 1

6. G-Slide

7. Broadway/Grease

8. Thriller

JabbaWockeez

1. P.Y.T.

2. One Republic

3. Encore

4. Audition

5. Evolution of Dance

6. Ice Box

7. Lean With It

8. Broadway/All That Jazz

9. Movie/Ayo Technology

edit: I figured out why I liked Kaba's evo dance over Jabba's. It's because Jaba's mix highlighted the best part of each song which made it easy for everyone to get into.

[heejintruong]

Completely RIGGED.

I could NOT believe that KABA MODERN went home. I mean COME ON!

FEMME 5 was better than Status Quo. Apologies to the SQ fans

but seriously, KABA going home?! there's something seriously wrong

with that. No matter how much the production team will say it's

not rigged, I truely think it is. If only they let Canada

to vote. I would of been asking everyone I knew to vote for Kaba.

sucks.

Well al the best to JABBA because if they don't beat SQ

you know there's something completely fake about the show.

[UndercoverLad]

i have a question.. how do you vote?

i really want to vote for jabbawockeez.

i saw many of their videos recently

and they are really good (=

-Bee.

Bonnie

I got you into JabbaWockeeZ

[Guest GDlovesBEE]

That was madd surprising when Status Quo made it to the top two.

And Jabba ain't all that. Maybe in Cali or something but def. not around the world. People act like they the hottest ish since fire. I ain't finne stop, droll, and roll.

[UndercoverLad]

^

no one said they were the best in the world...

[LucasBunny]

i'm so disappointed status quo shuld've been out...already...instead of kabba modern...their better than status quo..

cant wait who wins....it better be jabbawockeezs...they rock....their the best on the show...there needs to be some asian

ppl...showing everyone that not only white..n black..ppl...can only dance.....GO JABBAWOCKEEZS....VOTE EVERYONE...FOR THEM...

:blink:

here we go again

[UndercoverLad]

^agreed

WHO CARES IF THEIR ASIAN

DONT MATTER WHAT RACE YOU ARE IF YOUR A GOOD DANCER

WHO CARES ABOUT RACE

IT JUST HAPPENS THAT THERE AZN

AND NOT ALL OF JABBAWOCKEEZ ARE AZN

[Guest Mz-Descamento86]

And Jabba ain't all that. Maybe in Cali or something but def. not around the world. People act like they the hottest ish since fire. I ain't finne stop, droll, and roll.

LMFAOO i just busted out laughing @ work and my co-workers were like whats wrong with u girl? hahahaha

yeah thats true. their my favorite on the show but DEF. not my favorite hip hop dance crew

i hope they do a better job next season with picking more crews from both coast, filming the show in a different location (give other fans who live in different areas a chance to cheer on their favorites) and i think they should leave the decisions up to the judges (but get some qualified more experienced judges such as tina landon, wade robinson, debbie allen, shane can stay but get a new vocab give more critique, original members of rock steady crew & nyc breakers hell throw ciara up in the judging but she probably wouldnt be able to do it since she has a boomin' career lol)

[Guest cindel25]

I like Jabba but for real why are people forgetting that Jabba has Black and Latino members? I love to see them make those stupid comments to their faces.

Iconic FTMFW!!!

i totally agree with you. there's something with american's and voting. i'm not bashing anyone, so please don't take it the wrong way. i mean the good people with all the talent always tend to get out, and the people with less talent stay =/ even on american idol =x

[DAJUNG.]

Daaang Kaba so deserved a spot in the finals!

No way that Status Quo coulda won out over them AND Jabba

for the Bottom Two!

Status Quo's got some nice stunts and flips and all but

Kaba was LIIVE!! Smooth as hell!

Thank god that Jabba's still running! <33

I woulda jumped from a very high height if they got eliminated.

No lie.

[Guest caliboy]

This show is wack, the only crew that are good is jabba and kaba, the rest is trash

The only thing I like about the show is that they called popping popping not poplocking

Read this about status quo

"There are a few things everyone should know about this dance group STATUS QUO before voting them as so called "America's Best Dance Crew"

The following Information is not made up and can be backed up with solid evidence.

But before I tell you about Status Quo,

I must break down some very brief history that is related to the information you are about to find out on the following dance group.

In the Hiphop dance scene there is a term for street performance called "Hitting" as in 'Hitting the Streets to make money'.

(This term is more commonly used in the BBoy/Break-Dance scene)

Well known hitters in the bboy world as well as the Dance Industry are people such as Klown and KMel ('Step Up 2' for those who are not familiar with the BBoy scene).

Street performing has been around for thousands of years so in terms of the structure of the actual performance, the tradition of 'Hitting' started in NYC.

This includes the talking lines used to get an audience as well as the traditional hitting routines used when performing.

The whole tradition of hitting has been passed down from the original hitting crews such as the FLOAT COMMITTEE and LOCKATRON, just to name a few.

I have been told by Universal of the Original Float Committee, that Hitting started in the very early 70s.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of Hitting, I suggest you talk to the Klown, Breeze Team, Zone-TDK, KMel, etc...

If you are from New York City you are probably very familiar with Hitting.

There are street performers all over NYC.

Performing outside in the streets, in the train stations, and even in the actual trains itself!

Now here's where that group STATUS QUO comes into play.

During the summer time, several well respected NYC Hitting crews go to Boston to perform, since NYC has becoming harder and harder to perform in.

(Police cracking down on street performers)

The hitting crews that come to Boston consist of: The BREEZE TEAM, TRANSFORMERZ, and Y.A.

K

The areas in Boston that these crews would perform at and still do perform at are: Downtown Boston, Fanueil Hall, Boston Commons, and even Havard Sq!

About 2 years ago, there were these young group of kids called Status Quo and they started watching these 3 Hitting crews every summer.

After every performance they would praise each hitting crew about their amazing routines and their acrobatic skills in general.

Little did the Hitting Crews know was that Status Quo were secretly stealing the Hitting routines to make a name for themselves in the Boston dance scene (Not in the BBoy/Break-Dance scene).

What the group Status Quo does not understand is that for these Hitting Crews, street performing is a way of life.

This is how the BREEZE TEAM, TRANSFORMERZ, and Y.A.K make a living.

They 'Hit' 7 days a week, all year long, even during the winter!

They made up these hitting routines as a way to make enough income to eat, pay rent, phone bills, child support, etc.

You can truly say that dancing is their life.

Now MTV comes up with this show "America's Best Dance Crew", and Status Quo has used Hitting routines to make it through every week, all the way to the finals!

For most viewers watching this show, they do not know where the routines used by Status Quo originated from. So right away the majority of the viewers believe that Status Quo's routines are made up entirely on their own and that the the routines are authentic, in other words original.

This may seem ok to everyone watching this show, but in the long run it will affect the dance crews who originated those routines to make a living.

More and more people will start thinking that the Hitters took those routines from Status Quo, and less income will be generated for these Hitting crews to make a living off of what they created.

In my opinion...

Plagiarizing in any form is a crime and should not be tolerated! !

BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO VOTE FOR "America's Best Dance Crew" JUST THINK ABOUT THIS.

If you were to create something up entirely on your own, whether it be a poem or a painting.

Wouldn't you be angry if someone took what you originated and claimed it to be theirs, as well as make a profit off of your hard work?

I hope everyone reads this with an open mind and understands that I do not hate Status Quo as people but I do believe that they are way too talented to have to steal routines."

[Guest KCloud]

I've just seen these 3 pictures and it just shows how SQ members are disrespectful of other dance crews, especially Jabbawockeez. SQ also mocked JW in the 4th episode of ABDC.

Who knows, maybe SQ would have used the same masks, gloves and routines if the Jabbawockeez were not on the show. Byterz!
