America's Best Dance Crew

[QUOTE=faceless;307921]They are by far the best individual break dancers, as well as break dance crew, to have been on this show. I know they don't have much as far as versatility goes but they **** all over other breakers except Massive Monkees who I felt were a little outclassed by SC. I actually enjoy them more than Quest Crew.[/QUOTE] Yes, thank you for saying this...I'm so tired of most people saying stuff like "Quest Crew : The best Bboys" or "Quest would own Super Cr3w in a Bboy battle" and I'm always like NO, Quest Crew are nowhere near the best Bboys and no, Quest Crew would not beat Super C3w in a Bboy battle. Quest may be the best trickers to be on the show (Because of Steve Terada and kinda D Trix and actually D Trix isn't even a part of Quest now) but that's debatable because Do Knock of Super Cr3w is really great at tricking himself. Heck, Rainen of Jabba would beat every Bboy from Quest one on one and that's including D Trix...Victor would give him a run for his money but I still think Rainen would win so I know Quest would have no chance against the likes of Ronnie (Red Bull BC One Champion), Bboy Ben, Mike Murder, ect.. Also, I'm happy Super Cr3w won Season 2 because the top 4...Super Cr3w, Fanny Pak, Supreme Soul, and Assid were so good it really didn't matter who won..they all deserved to win especially over SoReal Cru and ****** Bots...so I had no problem with Super Cr3w winning...I'm especially cool with it now with how good/improved Super Cr3w is as entertainers/performers.

I disagree Quest Crew as hot as ****. Yeah they are not the best but I prefer them over Super Cr3w.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;307953]I disagree Quest Crew as hot as ****. Yeah they are not the best but I prefer them over Super Cr3w.[/QUOTE] I do too..just not when it comes to strictly Bboying/battles...but for performance and entertainment...basically a show like ABDC, I prefer Quest over Super Cr3w as well for obvious reasons.

I prefer Quest to SC. I agree that SC are great breakers, especially the one short guy. (I always forget his name... help?) However, I think that Quest is an over all better crew. They are more entertaining... IMO. My opinion may be biased. I'm a huge fan of Hok, D-trix, and Victor Kim.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;307860]Wasnt ASSID the one with the hearing impaired member? I loved them. I barely remember Super Crew though or season 2 as I felt it jumped the shark at the time.[/QUOTE] Yeah, Joey! He was so adorable. They deserved WAY higher than sixth place. Bull.

Ok guys. We have a few minutes. Who's it going to be? I vote for Elektrolytes.

I'm sorry, but Elektrolytes will hold the title as the most forgettable winners ever. I'm not surprised at all that they won, they got a second chance in the David Guetta challenge to showcase another routine when they were battling Mos Wanted Crew whereas 8F didn't. Also, butthurt RNG and Mos Wanted fans decided to vote for Elektrolytes only out of spite for 8 Flavahz. Because there is no way that Elektrolytes had a bigger fanbase than 8 Flavahz, just no. And Elektrolytes weren't even underdogs when they were saved nearly every week and got praise from the judges all the time. Fanny Pak and RNG were underdogs, not the Elektrolytes. They won HHI in 2011 too. They've always been one of the top dogs. Whatever, 8 Flavahz will always be one of the most versatile crews this show has ever seen. They, like Mos Wanted, will still be very successful in the industry even without the title. Elektrolytes, who?

Mos Wanted Crew is too good for any of the other crews. Elektrolytes won because they worked hard to get here for FOUR Years. And i will remember Elektrolytes over Super Crew and We Are Heroes for sure. 8 Flavahz just gave up the last 3 weeks because they thought they had it in the bag. And dont blame RNG and Mos Wanted fans. you should know by now that the producers choose the winner. Mario even accidentaly said it once also.

I'll never understand why they, ICONicBoyz, and Afroborike made it to final 2 on their seasons. The ONLY season that got the final 2 right was Season 3. Crews that placed third (Fanny, Kaba, MWC, and Phunk) should've placed second instead; no questions asked. But honestly, why not cut out the kid crews completely? The only "young" crew that relied on choreo more than cuteness was RNG and theirs was all on point (***** challenge was generally a sad excuse for a challenge and should've never existed. Everyone did ****** on that one except Elektrolytes and MWC anyway). If they're gonna have kid crews (which I will not deny that they are talented), at least give them a proper kid-based spin off season so the bias doesn't come across as blatant and obnoxious. If I were an adult crew competing and placing lower than kid crews, I'd be so incredibly annoyed for many reasons. Just imagine how asanine it would be if there was a crossover season between Kid Nation and RW/RR Challenges. Horrible idea. The judges always split hairs when critiquing MWC, and yet 8F never got any negative feedback when they made equally bad plays (Rihanna was probably their worst, *****...they just borrowed choreo from Quest and Strikers. That's not clever, it's lazy and should've been acknowledged. It's like the judges were terrified of saying anything bad to them). There's way too many inconsistancies with this show, which leads me to agree with Adrian's conclusion that the show has become a joke.

Mario even accidentaly said it once also.[/QUOTE] Eh, when thinking of ABDC champions, I'd think of SUPER CR3W and WAH over Elektro tbh, even if it is for negative reasons. Rihanna wasn't bad in my opinion, the choreography was okay. I honestly don't get how they were supposed to work with a song as horrible as Birthday Cake; why give that song to those girls? I was baffled. ***** was probably their worst, even if they were trying to pay homage to Quest, I didn't like how it turned out at all. Their David Guetta was amazing imo, it was of the same caliber as their Vogue performance. I'm not trying to blame RNG and Mos Wanted fans, but it is true that a vast majority of them voted for Elektrolytes just because they were ****** about 8F. Many fans of those two crews said that they were voting for Elektrolytes so 8F wouldn't win on both Youtube and Twitter. If the producers were to pick the winner, then I don't see why they'd choose Elektrolytes, sorry. Mos Wanted Crew and 8 Flavahz would have been a smarter choice. Mos Wanted's fanbase is gargantuan and would bring in a huge amount of viewers and 8F brings in the kid demographic.

One thing in particular that really bothers me about this show and always gets me to thinking is...how do the judges/producers go about eliminating one of the bottom two crews ? Do they base their decision on what the bottom two crews did in THAT episode or do they base their decision off of what the bottom two crews have done up until that point in the season ? Because there has been WAY too many times (Not ALL of the time...probably not even most of the time but it has happened plenty of times) that I have seen a crew completely outperform the other bottom crew and then get eliminated...Heck, if it is based on what the two bottom crews have done up until that point in the season (It seems to be), then WHY even have the crew that you're going to eliminate perform ? Just go ahead and eliminate them...no point in wasting everybody's time.. Another thing is...I have heard from members of certain crews in interviews on Youtube and on other sites that none of the crews ever get to see/hear how many votes they actually received...my goodness..I mean, seriously ? That wreaks of "RIGGED"... Another thing is...WHY on God's green Earth do they have Lil Mama and JC Chasez as judges (Especially Lil Mama..at least JC is light years ahead of her) ? I mean, what real experience do they have in dancing besides dancing to cheap Pop hits with their cheesy Pop dancing (LOL that's what this show has turned into almost it)..they know nothing about popping, locking, Bboying, waving, tutting, threading, ect...again, ESPECIALLY Lil Mama...she's as dumb as it gets. Now D Trix and Shane I have/had no problem with..at least they are well known in the dance community and they both have plenty of real dance experience. ANOTHER thing is....Why in the world did the ABDC producers decide to go the "Superstar" route to begin with...that had train wreck written all over it. It used to be so awesome seeing crews dance/perform to a WIDE variety of music. In Season 1, the Jabbawockeez alone danced to "We Came Here To Party", "Apologize", "Ice Box", "Lean Wit it, Rock Wit it", "Ayo Technology", "P.Y.T.", "All that Jazz", "Funky Town", "It's Just Begun", "It's Like That", "Push It", "Bye Bye Bye", and "Get Buck in Here".....Those songs are made by artists such as Michael Jackson, One Republic, Tony Yayo, Justin Timberlake, N'Sync, Run DMC, Jimmy Castor, Dem Franchise Boyz, ect. ect.....Now THAT'S what I call variety and pretty much good music to dance/perform to..but the poor crews the last two seasons have had to dance to the same repetitive garbage music every episode and not only do I feel bad for the crews but I feel bad for the fans that have to listen and watch the crews dance/perform to the same **** week after week all episode... And why did ABDC/the producers decide to get rid of the Last Chance Challenge ? It's responsible for some of the most memorable performances in ABDC history and I've always enjoyed it the most with the Crew's Choice Challenge in a close second...and I can't remember but I think they got rid of that, too. So, yes, I still stick by what I said..the first 3 Seasons were amazing..heck, even though season 4 sucked talent wise, at least it stuck with it's original format and wasn't about the music artists more than it was the crews.....but still, beginning with Season 4, is when I feel that ABDC started it's downward slide...and now it's at rock bottom (the ratings for Season 7 were an absolute joke pretty much the whole season, especially for the Finale though). The show will probably get cancelled now and I used to really enjoy it...thanks producers, kid crews ( A subject I didn't get to..in short, I think it was a joke of an idea and unfair to both the adult crews and the kid crews..I agree with Cystic on this matter.), repetitive ****** music, ect.. RANT OVER...LOL

Oh, did anyone else catch that comment Lil Mama said when all three judges were saying their final words to Elektrolytes and 8 Flavahz? At the end of Lil Mama's comment she points to 8 Flavahz, and says, "May my babies win." The audience was so silent after she said that, *****, and she tried to play it off with this cutesy smile. Elektrolytes, even 8 Flavahz were looking like, ***? I understand if judges have their own bias towards a crew, but don't make it so **** blatant. Lil Mama's always been rude though, I remember back in season two when Supreme Soul and SC were in the bottom and she goes into this random outburst saying, "I DO NOT GET EXCITED WHEN I WATCH THE ****** BOTS! WHY ARE THE ****** BOTS STILL HERE?" It was so rude. If there is a next season (Considering the ratings for this show are laughable) then she needs to be replaced, pronto. I vote for Laurie Ann Gibson or Ciara!

I don't think LM is wrong at all she just keeps it real. Adrian i agree with you about WAH i love them. I don't think I'll be back for season 8 though.

I get very aggravated when people say Jabbawockez are teh b3st. They were good but not all that. 10 years from now nobody will care for them.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;308479]I get very aggravated when people say Jabbawockez are teh b3st. They were good but not all that. 10 years from now nobody will care for them.[/QUOTE] Well, Jabba does have their own Las Vegas show as well as a show in Sydney, Australia and soon to be Atlantic City, New Jersey..that's way more than any other ABDC Champion/crew can say..and if nobody cares for Jabba in 10 years (Which I doubt will be the case) then I know no other ABDC crew will be cared for or even remembered as Jabba is easily the most memorable crew in ABDC history (As evident on Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook and with their big time success). I actually agree with those people, Jabba were the best IMO...Even though crews like Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, We Are Heroes, Strikers All-Stars, Phunk Phenomenon, and other crews did more difficult tricks, stunts, and Bboying than Jabba..Jabba was miles ahead of them in creativity and musicality..they reminded me a lot of Michael Jackson...they could do some of the most simple moves and make it look freaking awesome and they were also very great at mixing simplicity and difficulty...whenever you can do those two things and still wow the crowd, you're on another level. Plus, on the show Jabba was great but it's what they've done after they won their original season (Season 1) that's really set them apart from the rest of the crews that's been on ABDC.

****, I already knew there wouldn't be a season 8 when there was no last chance challenge.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;308479]I get very aggravated when people say Jabbawockez are teh b3st. They were good but not all that. 10 years from now nobody will care for them.[/QUOTE] They are the best. They are the most popular for a reason. Have you ever seen them live? They put on a great show.

[QUOTE=Adrian!!!!!!;308486]I don't blame you..but I don't think there will be a Season 8.[/QUOTE] Well, there has to be a Season 8, because I have nothing else to do with my time. lol

[QUOTE=Bella;308497]Well, there has to be a Season 8, because I have nothing else to do with my time. lol[/QUOTE] So You Think You Can Dance is a great alternative.

[QUOTE=Bella;308495]They are the best. They are the most popular for a reason. Have you ever seen them live? They put on a great show.[/QUOTE] I still disagree with you there and no I don't need to see them live.

[QUOTE=Bella;308495]They are the best. They are the most popular for a reason. Have you ever seen them live?

[QUOTE=netterz;308577]So You Think You Can Dance is a great alternative.[/QUOTE] I agree with this assessment.

[QUOTE=netterz;308577]So You Think You Can Dance is a great alternative.[/QUOTE] I've tried. I don't like it. It bores me.

[QUOTE=Bella;308623]I've tried. I don't like it. It bores me.[/QUOTE] And ABDC does not? This is the first time I've ever heard this...

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;308586]I still disagree with you there and no I don't need to see them live.[/QUOTE] Just out of curiosity, who do you think is better than the JabbawockeeZ then?
