Comments on: America’s Best Dance Crew: Gangster tactics used to teach voters a lesson! http://www.puretvnet.com/2008/08/02/americas-best-dance-crew-gangster-tactics-used-to-teach-voters-a-lesson/ Covering TV from a Music Perspective Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:26:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rocky http://www.puretvnet.com/2008/08/02/americas-best-dance-crew-gangster-tactics-used-to-teach-voters-a-lesson/comment-page-1/#comment-77 Rocky Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:03:19 +0000 http://www.puretvnet.com/?p=658#comment-77 Hi, John. It's not that I'm mad at what they said but how they chose to say it. It was obvious to everyone that watched Thursday, that they were punishing the Bots for having been safe last week. Since the Bots had no control over how many votes they got, it had to be a punishment for those of us that voted for them. That's the problem. You can't have a show that is a popularity contest for voters and then manipulate and punish the voters for not following along with your specific plan. It takes the joy out of it. Knowing the ending of a story can take something away from the feel of it, especially when you're expected to believe anything can happen. Just my opinion. :) Hi, John.

While I may not agree with what the judges say, as long as they are saying what they really feel in their heart I think they should be free to say it. It's so much worse when a judge says good things when the performance really wasn't that good. I had when judges sugar coat it for them. Of course, tact can always be offered along the way and that line can be easily crossed, but I at least appreciate a judges willingness to be honest with someone. We can probably all use some honest people around us. The question is whether we can handle the honesty. It’s interesting that you were so mad at the judges.
