Anyway finals are over and I am now on a month-long break, two weeks of which I will be spending without Larry, Shu, Joanna, Anna, Michelle, and pretty much everyone from uni cause their papers only end on the 12th. FML right?
But still I'm just so glad finals are over, despite the fact that I just realised I have no friends lol. And I've just been dying to blog about the new season of ABDC since it started. That's right folks, America's Best Dance Crew Season 7 premiered like 3 or 4 weeks ago and I'm all pumped up full of comments (and rude and unfair judgements) about the crews and their performances. And of course, after a long dry spell, the hotness of one Mr. JC Chasez ;)
JC CHASEZ WITH STUBLLE!!!! *faint*
So....pretending I'm a normal person now. They're calling Season 7 the Return of the Superstars cause last season was Season of the Superstars it seems (It sooo wasn't the season of the superstars okay, they had a Justin Bieber episode. Enough said.) where each episode had the crews dancing to songs by a 'superstar'. I've got to say, even though I didn't recognise lots of songs in the previous seasons, their dance challenges were much more interesting. Like the eighties challenge. And the evolution of hip hop challenge. Oh well, whatever. As long as I get to watch JC. So let's cut to the chase here and start with the first episode, the Britney Spears episode!!!!
Okay so there actually already was a Britney Spears episode. When was it, Season 3? Must be. But everyone on the show was pretending that it never happened. Let's let them live in their pretty little world where they're being original, shall we?
So anyway, as usual they started off with the group number to 'I Wanna Go' by Britney Spears.
Okay why has all my favourite people on Youtube decided not to post Season 7 performances of even bearable quality???
Damn, now I have to cut and upload all the videos myself? The horror :O Luckily I have all the time in the world to download a new video editing software, figure out how to use it, and cut all the videos one by one for the 3 episodes of ABDC so far. Only thing I didn't see coming is all the waiting time for all the bloody videos to save. Sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, I hate technology.
Back to the group number,
Mix'd Elements, Irratik, 8 Flavahz, Stepboys & Fanny Pak
Song: I Wanna Go - Britney Spears
*scream* First sighting of JC!!!! Oh my goodness he looks so hot. And whoa has he been working out? Look at those arms.... *swoon* Okay, okay I'm stopping with the psychotic stalker talk. Aiyo why is D Bloody Trix still there la? I mean I knew he would be, but he could have done us haters a favour and decided to stick with what he knows - dancing, not talking about it. And Lil Mama, look at her looking all pretty and, well...normal.
Moving on to the actual performance, I'm trying my best to reserve judgement here, but anyone else feel like the performance was just bleh until Fanny Pak got there? I'm just saying :)
Anywayyyy my hopeless biased ways aside, let's get into the performances and my biased judgements :p
8 Flavahz
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - 3
Is anyone else feeling disturbed about the fact that they gave a bunch of kids (these girls are all aged 9 to 17) a song about threesomes? I mean its not like the ones that mattered (namely whichever one of these kids is the 9 year old) knew that but still. Disturbing. Oh, and did anyone upon hearing the name of this crew suddenly remember the existence of that Craig David song What's Your Flava and feel like listening to it? I did :s
Back to business. Was anyone wow-ed by their performance? Anyone get what the judges were so excited about? They were good I guess but it wasn't mind blowing or anything. And this coming from a girl who was practically jumping out of her seat when she first saw the Iconic Boyz last season, okay? It does not take much to impress me when it comes to kids. There was nothing that I looked at and really liked. Maybe the ending pose. And yes, I think the little girl with the afro is beyond adorable.
I got a little annoyed at that shoutout to Lil Mama while they were dancing though. What was that for? So she would be as manja and as protective of them as she was with the Iconic Boyz? Whateverrr.
Other than that, well I suppose I don't hate these girls. We'll see how they do next time.
Mix'd Elements
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Til The World Ends
Oh no. Guy with a sob story and a sense of humour (the part about being an undercover Britney Spears fan). See, when they do things like that, it makes me want to like them so bad. So bad. So I was actually looking for things to love about their performance. Hunting for something awesome to love.
And...nothing. There was something missing in this performance. It's just that it's been six freaking seasons already on ABDC and I've seen sooo many awesome crews. These guys weren't horrible. But they weren't great. How sad.
Irratik
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Hold It Against Me
First thing I thought when I saw these girls - oh my goodness they're so hot. Then I looked at them one by one and guess what? Cheerleader effect. Who knew that was a real thing, right? And yes there is a reason I haven't put up JC's comments, bear with me.
So. An all girl crew. I tend to hate them. Even if they have an Indian girl named Chandni whose parents think her dance dreams are a waste of time. Especially if they toss their hair about when they're dancing and put on that 'I'm so hot' smolder. Especially when their performance wasn't that great.
You know what was great about their performance? JC's comments :D
LOL isn't he funny???? You do not wanna know how many times I watched those precious "Oh my God, look at me" seconds :D Dammit la why does he have to be so HOT???
Oh, by the way, do you want to see what D Bloody Trix thinks flirting is?
I have nothing to say. No. Nothing. At all.
I should say this though. Can D Bloody Trix be turned over to the Grammar Police for his use of the words 'your GUYSES'? What the hell is guyses? It's either 'you guys' or 'your crew', you can't have both. But then again D Bloody Trix might come up with some misunderstood metaphor about having your cake and eating it too.
Stepboys
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - If You Seek Amy
I didn't know at first why I didn't like these guys. Then I saw them dancing and I thought, hey maybe it's because they kinda suck. I was actually bored the entire performance. I may have laughed like once then the gags got old pretty fast.
And I'm usually a fan of comedy while dancing by the way. I liked Poreotix in Season 5. I wasn't madly in love with them but I didn't dislike them this intensely at least. Thing about Poreotix is, they were funny but they could dance. So yes, I thought I didn't like Stepboys cause well, if they could dance, they were hiding it pretty well.
But guess what? That's not why. I saw D Bloody Trix's comments and I understood.
They were friends of D Bloody Trix's at school!! Unexplained and unavoidable twitching when I saw them? Explained. Their suckiness? Well I'm sure D Bloody Trix deserves some credit for that at least.
And JC's so adorable when he laughs *stupid smile*
FANNY PAK!!!! (Okay fine, their name isn't actually spelt in upper case and it doesn't have any exclamation marks. I'm just so happy they're back :D)
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Womanizer
NOW it feels like I'm watching America's Best Dance Crew!! Just when I thought the first episode was going to be a complete bust. Have I mentioned that I'm so glad Fanny Pak is back? :)And on a completely unrelated note, isn't Matt Cady adorable? :)
I absolutely loved these guys in Season 2! They're so amazing and they never seem to do anything to give you whoa moments like all those gravity defying stunts or whatever but their performances rock the shit out of me anyway. Like this one. Rocked the shit out of me. And deja vu! They ended their performance exactly the same way they ended their first performance on ABDC in Season 2 :) I love Fanny Pak :D
And look, I got to watch JC rambling for the first time this season too. Please tell me he can't get more adorable than this. I can't take any more adorable-ness from him.
So anyway, Mix'd Elements was the bottom crew and they get to battle the next week's bottom crew for their survival. Damn, should have been Stepboys. Oh well, I suppose they were equally bad and the judges couldn't decide.
I'm so glad ABDC is back.
