Breaksk8 from ABDC to be on The Bonnie Hunt Show
Written by: JohnOne of our good readers just told me that Breaksk8 was going to be on The Bonnie Hunt Show tomorrow. Nice to see the crews from America’s Best Dance Crew getting some face time on a national TV show. Should be pretty entertaining to see how Bonnie Hunt reacts to their performance.
Here’s what The Bonnie Hunt Show website says about their performance:
BreakSk8: This hip hop dance group was the breakout star of “America’s Best Dance Crew,” but what sets them apart is that they dance on roller skates! Wait until you catch this amazing group of talented guys!

Quest Crew Wins ABDC on MTV
Written by: JohnCongratulations to Quest Crew. They were my favorite since the beginning. Yes, I am biased since Quest Crew contained 3 members who had participated on So You Think You Can Dance. I loved them on SYTYCD and they were even better in their element (most of the time) on ABDC. This was a well deserved victory even if Beat Freaks was really great as well.
I saw this interesting post on the MTV forum that said:
Are they as good or better than Jabbawockeez? Maybe…but I don’t believe they have the same mystique and appeal as the Jabbawockeez. As good as the Jabbawockeez were in season 1 you have to admit that the masks were a major part of their appeal. It gives their performances an extra wow factor. They’ve already gotten Gatorade commercials, all kinds of public dance gigs, and even performed at the All Star Game in Phoenix with Shaq. I just don’t know that Quest will get the same kinds of endorsements. Super Crew certainly didn’t . I think if you took the masks off of Jabbawockeez, Quest may just be better.
I have to agree with them, but one thing that wasn’t mentioned is that the dancers on Quest crew will still have plenty of chances to dance and to teach dancing all over the country. They’ll be able to make a decent living dancing. However, the masks on JabbaWockeez was a unique marketing element.
Now we look to the future. I heard that Randy Jackson did say that there will be a fourth season of America’s Best Dance Crew. I’m just a little surprised that something wasn’t said about the fourth season on the show if that’s really the case. Maybe there’s probably going to be a fourth season, but they still haven’t worked out all the details.
Then, maybe the most important question is why they haven’t announced an ABDC 2009 tour yet. If someone finds out any information about an ABDC 2009 tour, then please let me know so I can post it for everyone to see.

Shane Spark’s Review of ABDC 3
Written by: JohnI found the following interview that I thought providing an interesting perspective on ABDC from Shane Sparks.
Usually you can tell which groups are going to be in trouble after the first challenge week but I thought they did a good job overall. Do you think any crew in particular will be in trouble down the line?
I think America’s finally getting it right right now. Last week we had a bottom two and it was exactly who should’ve been in the bottom two. Usually we’re really skeptical, like “Oh my god, why are they in the bottom two?” So the two [that were in the bottom], they’re good – Team Millennia, I like them, but there’s so much competition on this show right now they’ve almost gotta do three times as much as they did last season to maintain. We’ll see what happens this season or this episode. And I think this episode is gonna be the deciding factor of who’s really, really hot and who’s not because now they all have to come up out of their element and show a different side. The one or two or three that impresses us the most are gonna be the ones I feel like will last on the show the longest.
Whose idea was tonight’s Britney Spears challenge?
I don’t know actually who did this one but I think it’s a really good one. The only thing I’m sad about is the fact that Britney’s not gonna be on the stage with us. [leans toward the recorder for comedic emphasis] Britney, I hate you for that.
*laughs* Since she couldn’t appear, are you going to be doing another spotlight artist challenge this season?
I’m hoping we get somebody this year. I don’t know who it could be but it would’ve been perfect for her to come here — it would’ve set the tone for our whole season. But we’ll see.
When I talked to you at the finale, the hope was for the really good all-girl crew to come in. Now we’ve got one…
We’ve got two.

Written by: JohnIn Week 4 of America’s Best Dance Crew, the challenge was to put together a number to some of the cheesiest songs of all time. Some fine choices, but I think there were a few left out like anything from Vanilla Ice. Although I must admit that this challenge pretty much proves that amazing dancing can take even the worst songs and make them tolerable to watch. Take a look at the list of music from this week’s ABDC. Also, check out all of the previous ABDC music.
Beat Freaks danced to the cheesy song “Pretty Fly For A White Guy”
by The Offspring
Dynamic Edition danced to the cheesy song “Achy Breaky Heart”
by Billy Ray Cyrus
Fly Khicks danced to the cheesy song “Everybody Dance Now (Gonna Make You Sweat)”
by C&C Music Factory
Quest Crew danced to the cheesy song “You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff)”

Strikers All-Stars danced to the cheesy song “2 Legit 2 Quit”
