America’s Best Dance Crew: Thursdays @ 10pmEST

So we’re halfway into Season 2 and thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for discussing this great show.

Link to Official Site (With full previous episodes): http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/dance_crew/series.jhtml

Due to popular demand (one person so far), Here's the links to all of the dances by the best two crews from season 1:
JabbaWockeeZ Compilation:http://www.wrixel.com/wp02/?p=283
Kaba Modern Compilation:http://www.wrixel.com/wp02/?p=284


Crews still in the running:

So what does the PA community think about ABDC? How do the second season crews compare to the previous instant favorites (and title winners), the JabbaWockeeZ? Who are you rooting for to go all the way? Discuss here.

    I've never seen this show, but this photo is quite possibly the gayest thing I've seen in a long time.

    And that includes San Francisco on gay pride day.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Okay, so I just wanted to kick off the thread by saying that earlier on I thought new crews would even come close to my two favs from season 1 (Kaba Modern & JabbaWockeeZ) but I've been surprised in a good way and I'm impressed with alot of the performances so far.

    EDIT: Believe it or not, they are a very talented crew. The guys are total fairies, but they know how to perform. Also, they change outfits every episode.

    To go even further, this one guy:

    Actually, for me it was the guy in blue on the side who's gesturing like he's a model on Wheel of Fortune and he's showing off the grand prize of the Longest Cock Evar.

    Hahha this is pretty flamboyant if I do say so myself. The show itself is really good though. You usually dont get to see these kind of moves unless your into the scene. Stunts and BBoys are really interesting to watch.

    Yeah, I hate the poses too. Love the dancing, just hate the posing.

    The look on the face of the guy in the green jacket is the best.

    I've wanted this thread to exist so hard.

    Fanny Pack and Super Crew are my favs, I do miss Kaba though. Anyone else shocked that Status Quo made the final 2 over Kaba?

    Nobody was happy to see Status Quo over Kaba.

    I'm liking SoReal Cru and Super Crew, but Jabba and Kaba would wipe the floor with anyone from this season.

    I was SUPER pissed when Kaba didn't make it to the finals since I like them (by a miniscule amount) more than Jabba. The JabbaWockeez most likely would have won anyways from the sheer number of votes they always get, but Kaba deserved to at least get second place.

    And I totally agree with Quentin. The breakers in season 2 don't have the versatility and swagger of the JabbaWockeeZ, and the isolators this season have nowhere near the polish or precision of Kaba Modern.

    If anyone is interested, I can put a link to all of Kaba and Jabba's dances in the OP.

    I am just glad xtreme dance force is out. What an awful name. I think it's gonna come down to Fanny Pak & Supercr3w.

    Every single guy in XDF looked and acted like a complete over-the-top douchebag. Seriously, suburban white-boys with spikey gelled hair, big sunglasses, and popped collars talking about how much they "rep" Chicago when they live miles outside of the city.

    They're basically representing the "boy band" dance scene, if such a thing exists. It's nice for variety, but isn't nearly as fun, cool, or interesting as many of the other groups. When Shane Sparks ripped into them in the 2nd or so episode, it was awesome. I got a ten year old that could have choreographed that.

    That last thing you wrote, you should do that.

    The live audition for kaba was just, I never cared about dancing till I saw that.

    Super Crew is good. Flow Bots are good. I'm surprised Asid was kicked out so soon. Seemed like everyone had a bit of a thing for them.

    Am I the only person who thinks that hanging out with any of these crews for a day would be absolutely awful?

    The new links are up in the OP. I'm constantly finding myself watching those videos over and over again, I'm completely nostalgic for the first season right now. My dad is a huge Jabba fan and said today that by getting such good crews the first time around we've all been spoiled.

    For this season I'm hoping for a Boogie Bots and Super Cr3w finale. To me both crews are pretty creative, and that's what I look for in addition to good dancing.We'll see how that goes though. I was disappointed when A.S.I.I.D was eliminated, I would have rather seen SoReal go.

    FUCK. THIS. SHOW.

    An exact repeat of last season with Kaba, and I almost guarantee the producers had some thing to do with it both times. They make one crew a "martyr" so that more people will vote in the finale against the inferior crew that was granted immunity.

    Heh, 3rd Place always get screwed. I was really suprised, especially when Shane pretty much gave a goodbye speech to Super Cr3w.

    Edit: It was utter Bullshit that the voting period for last week's episode was 7 hours (11:00PM - 6:00AM PDT). My vote at 7 in morning got rejected.
