A New Season Part 4

Ladies and gentlemen, I give youuuuuu....

The Drake episode.

I know nothing about this Drake fellow except that everyone was crazy about him at one point. For what reason, I do not know.

Getting into the episode now.

Rated Next Generation
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : HYFR
Challenge : Pick a signature lyric from the song and 'bring it to life'. They chose 'time for me to revisit the past'.


I can sum up that entire performance in one non word. Meh.

These kids just don't give me that 'whoa' feeling la. You know, when you watch some people and you think 'God, and I thought I could actually dance' or 'Damn I could never have come up with that, much less pull it off'? Do not get that feeling from RNG. And hey, it's not because they're young. I mean, 8 Flavahz gives me that feeling.

And of course D Bloody Trix was the only one who was impressed. Whatever.

MOS Wanted Crew
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : The Motto
Challenge : 'Pass it like a relay'


Hmmmmmmm. Well this performance didn't have an impact on me the way their last two performances did. I mean it was nice and they still give me that 'holy shit I could never do that' feeling...but I was still waiting to be impressed at the end of it :s

What? JC liked it? And his eyes sparkled as he said it?

Okay this is scary shit. Of all the judges only D Bloody Trix agrees with me? I am officially worried.

Anyone else think Ian Eastwood should never ever cover up his adorable hair with a cap ever again? :D

8 Flavahz
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : Find Your Love
Challenge : 'Nothing's gonna tear us apart'


Oh my goodness that whole thing was just so sad :( We find out next week that Angel's mom passed away the day after this show was taped.

I have nothing to say about that performance other than this. This is what I imagine when I think about people dancing through their grief or their pain. These girls who are just kids by the way, totally embodied that and just lived out my imagination.

Why is D Bloody Trix being so nice? He's really freaking me out :s

And awww look at JC all choked up and speechless. This is why I love you, JC Chasez :)

And YES. Finally the Stepboys are in the bottom two. About time.

Collizion Crew
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : Over
Challenge : 'I'm riding through the city with my high beams on'


This Jeremy Strong guy is really distracting me from everything that's going on :s I had to watch everything twice to make sure I wasn't just staring at him lol.

But I liked this performance!! The first one of the night that didn't disappoint :) This crew just has this swagger to them that I absolutely love. And they do it without being annoyingly arrogant which is so refreshing. You can tell they really enjoy performing, which only adds to how much I enjoy watching them.

And JC. A Southern swag tut. LOL how does he come up with this stuff?? :D

Elektrolytes
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : Headlines
Challenge : 'Floating in and out of consciousness'


LOL when they first mentioned the challenge I thought someone was gonna get knocked out or something. They should have mentioned they were only doing the 'floating' part of it before I had time to panic about homicides on dance shows!

I'm really starting to like this crew. They're just so cute and underdogs-y that you just have to look at them and go 'awwwww'. But it's not just that. Damn, can these guys dance. And they have such fire. Gotta love that.

And Jabbawockeez flashback!!! With the floating thing!!

Okay so Elektrolytes are minor copycats. But other than that I really do like this performance.

Oh JC. 'No feet man, I walk with no feet.' *sigh* Must he be so adorable??

And now we get to the ridiculously easy battle. Fanny Pak versus Stepboys. They needn't bother, really. No way Stepboys get even remotely close to Fanny Pak's awesomeness.

Fanny Pak
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song: Make Me Proud
Challenge : 'Runnin' on a treadmill, only eatin' salad'


*SCREAM!!!!* Need I say more?? No freaking way Stepboys can top that. See, they just dance they don't do many crazy stunts but they always add a little zing. The whole two people on a date in a dancing restaurant thing. They're always so creative and so different even though they don't do big crazy leaping stunts. RNG should go learn a thing or two from them.

Stepboys
Week 4 : Drake Challenge
Song : Best I Ever Had
Challenge : 'Every single show she out there reppin' like a mascot'


Okay fine. I have to admit. That was kinda....cute. Wow that felt like bile coming out of my mouth. Or fingers. Whatever.

NOW they choose to be all almost good. NOW. I really liked when they tossed the poor mascot guy in the helicopter thing. And the end when they freaked out Lil Mama. Still no challenge for Fanny Pak though. At least I hope not.


Look me and JC liked the same thing about the Stepboys performance :D

And ooooooooooo D Bloody Trix throwing down a challenge to the other two judges. Damn did this boy watch *NSync on tour?? JC could totally do Stepboys moves. He could probably even do it infinitely better than them. Without breaking a sweat. Easy.

Love the way Lil Mama didn't bother responding but just went on with her comments. Gotta love this woman when she puts people in their place :D

So obviously Fanny Pak gets saved and Stepboys are sent home. Finally. See. No sweat. *wipe forehead*

A Heartfelt, Post Traumatic Thank You

About five months ago, this album called Post Traumatic was released. Three months ago, I went to Bangkok to watch Mike Shinoda perform...
