So I manage to watch the whole show on TV…for once! Taeko (aka Koi Fish) from Fish and Chicks is pretty hot. She always ends her performances with a little extra nuance of sass.

KABA

I actually enjoyed this performance more than the past few ones. If I had to guess, it was probably Mike who came up with the “hey” choreography in the beginning. It seems to be the pattern that the one responsible for the choreography is usually front and center….plus, the head moving side to side on a pendulum swing seems to be his thing.

At first, I thought the added “challenge” was just stupid. They should just let the dance crews do their thing. Eh, I still think it was dumb. Fish and Chicks probably had the hardest one…doing their choreography in rewind motion.

Even though Kaba’s lack of difficulty in “lifting” was true…it didn’t really matter because everything else was very entertaining, especially the facial expressions. Plus, when you probably have a whole University voting for you…it doesn’t matter what the judges say anyways. I still think one of Kaba’s strength is their transitions from dance style to dance style…it just shows off their range.

Note: They should of done the lift in this Video at (oo:1

JABBA

JC is pretty articulate as a judge but I don’t think he should try so hard in looking for flaws just because it’s week 4…especially when the “walking” is part of the slow-mo choreography.

Kaba vs. Jabba this week…I’d have to go with Kaba for personal enjoyment.

I know a lot of people have been impressed with their “dancing” on skates but when you have a show titled the “Best Dance Crew,” the main focus should be on the dancing itself. Their supporters seem to be distracted by their skates, thinking it gives them an edge because of it’s level of difficulty. While it is probably hard to do what they do on skates…it doesn’t really mean anything. If they were to take off their wheels and just do their routines using Nikes, they’d have a much easier time.

So basically, the whole roller skates is a gimmick because they are giving themselves a handicap by putting those wheels on their own feet. It’s not that their moves are hard, it’s that they made easy moves harder. If they had missing limbs and used wheels to make up for what they lack, then it would be a different story.

I wish them the best, off the show.
