Sad, stunning night on America's Best Dance Crew. We said goodbye to the super-talented dance crew, Kaba Modern, who I've been rooting for since the very beginning. It was apparently an extremely close vote, but when it came down to it, Status Quo was on top (load of crap), and Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ were left to battle it out. What a huge bummer, right? I was really hoping to see Kaba and Jabba as the final two crews, and I know a lot of people were with me on that. I feel we actually saw the real championship battle last night—between Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ.
In the end, both crews put on the performances of their lives, but as I expected and feared, it was time for Kaba Modern to go home. But man, how awesome was it to see those two groups of (mostly) Asian dancers standing there next to each other, and seriously representing? It was bittersweet. Did Kaba and Jabba fans somehow split the vote? Does it sound too bitter to suggest that the competition might've been rigged? Was it too much for MTV to have two Asian American-heavy crews at the top? It's lame, but it's a thought. Anyway, here are their performances from last night, brought to you by the power of YouTube:
Kaba Modern's swan song. They really gave it their all, showing off that amazing charm and flair that won them so many fans. These kids rock so much. I'm sure this isn't the last we've seen of them... Goodbye, and thank you.
JabbaWockeeZ, doing their thing. These guys have easily set themselves apart with the unique style and showmanship from the very beginning. To me there is no question who should win. Hell, they've had it in the bag from day one. To vote for JabbaWockeez, go here, call 1-866-856-8302 or text 2 to 23882. You can vote throughout the next week up until the final. To me, there is no way Status Quo deserves to win, especially after the shoddy final performance they gave last night. It's JabbaWockeeZ all the way!!!
