ABDC 4 – Episode 3: L2 Vote America! Brooklyn still on top…
Episode 3 what quite a shocker… If you had told me at the end of episode 2 that Rythm City was going to be in the bottom I would have laughed, quite hysterically actually but it happened. In previous seasons the group that ended up taking the title was in the bottom at one point or another and I guess i can dive into a philosophical (or psychological) discussion as to how being in the bottom pushes the best out of people but I think it has something more to do with voters than anything else. As Fanny Pack’s leading man Matt Cady urged the fans in the ABDC Season 2 finals… “You better vote right”… It could be that the voters assume a certain crew is going to get the votes so they opt to vote for another crew or they just like the underdogs but it definitely messes with the competition.
So as I do with each blog post let me break down the performances of the night (take note that I usually do this as soon as i watch the show but since it’s been about 12+ horus since I’ve seen the episode I’m going from memory for this one)
Afroborike: Man what a disappointment… They murdered it last week, jolted to #2 on my leaderboard and then this? They could have had a lot of fun with Capoera but they fell short. I really hope that they bounce back next week because they’ve got something special…
We are Heroes: The judges said it… slow start but the locking routine got me excited… these girls can dance and I anticipate to see a lot more from them… their ending was creative but a little sloppy (did I just agree with J.C.? DANG! LoL)
Massive Monkeys: Bboys always seem to impress the public… this routine though? not so much… it was okay at best and their task wasn’t done well… tricks can only take you so far… I hope these bboys step up the choreo next week for the “Bollywood” challenge…
Vouge Evolution: How do these guys girls? people… keep getting voted for… Shane said it well… when they’re not Vouging they’re all over the place… They’re just not in sync enough for me to be in this competition… Kung-fu??? Come on!!!
Beat Ya Feet Kingz: I’ve been banging on these guys all season but they’ve finally shown me that they deserve to be on the show… The task was perfect for them and their style and they did it well… It may have just been the lack of energy, creativity and everything from the previous crews but when they stepped on the stage they made the rest look horrible… They’re improving but I don’t know if they’ll stay much longer… the votes are definitely keeping them in…
Rhythm City: The judges didn’t even catch the whole Kill Bill theme of the performance… when I heard they were bottom two with Southern Movement my heart sank… Two of the best choreography crews were going head to head and one has to go. Anyways, Rhythm City KILLED it… enough said…
Southern Movement: I really felt bad for these guys, I think they’re the most synchronized crew on the show but because their “style” isn’t as “up and coming” or their “gimmick” isn’t as appealing they don’t get votes and unfortunately are booted off… Hurts me to agree with J.C. but America voted the top two performances of the evening to the bottom… unfortunately for Southern Movement they were head to head against the crew that may win it all…
Astro’s Leaderboard:
7. Vogue Evolution: I’m sorry but I think they should have been out last week… but i anticipate that they’ll keep getting votes and keep staying… ugh…
6. Beat Ya Feet Kingz – Their routine this week was great but I don’t see enough from them to shoot up the leaderboard.
5. Afroborike – I’ve put them this high cause I think they had an off week… another one and they’re gone…
4.Southern Movement – yeaaa i think they’re still top 4 material… too bad they’re gone…
3. Massive Monkees – bboys are always entertaining… step up the choreo to have a chance for the finals…
2. We Are Heroes – these girls gave us a little bit more tricks this time around… who knows where their ceiling is…
1. Rhythm City – still atop the leaderboard… these guys are utterly SICK!
