America's Best Dance Crew

March 07, 2008

Has anyone else been as amazed with MTV's America's Best Dance Crew as I have been.

I wasn't really enthused by the idea of another American-Idol styled show on MTV that involved dancing.

And I really didn't want to put up with Mario Lopez for more than 30 min. a week. I put up with that guy throughout my childhood, and I knew a couple weeks ago that I didn't want to handle any more A.C. Slater.

But I watched. And I watched again. The kids on that show are talented. They aren't all true breakers, but I love the choreography. Wonder if the dance crews (L.A. Lakergirls) could do something like that. Doubt it.

My interest in this show comes from years back. I tried to fit in with the break-dancing culture. I couldn't do it, but I loved to watch.

Granted I hopped down on the cardboard a time or two, but there was no way I could do what my buddies, Georgie, Jason and Roderick were doing.

And for those interested, I know for a fact one of Wichita Falls' Finest used to do a little break dancing. (Call me sometime and I'll let you know his name)

Back to the show,
Kabba Modern, BreakSk8, Jabba Wockeez -- they're all good. And for about one month they've been the front runners in a $100,000 competition.

Randy Jackson is one to something here. I expect it will become a old, tired product in a couple of years if they try to continue to do it, as MTV does with everything successful, but I imagine I'll continue to watch.

Just as long as the talent stays the same.

Here's something that might pique your interest --
