On Mac’s and ABDC

I’m frigging tired now. We decided that we wanted a change in lifestyle, and thus went to bed at 9.30am and woke up at 4.30am…

to go to Mac’s and have breakfast. And TRIED without success to study a bit, before we gave up and went back to watch tv.

On another note, episode 7 of the America’s Best Dance Crew was out online yesterday.

DAMNIT!

Kaba Modern is out of the competition.

How could this be? Kaba is definitely not the worse out of the three. And like many others, i’m anticipating a final showdown between Kaba and Jabba.

I think that’s a bloody good example of the spoiler effect. Kaba and Jabba are similar in the dance styles, with excellent isolation and neat group work. Even the race composition and (i suspect) other demographic of the members are almost identical. Despite both of them being extremely popular with the audiences right from the beginning of the season, the two group has probably split that majority support and this allowed Status Quo to win the both of them in vote count after last week.

Status Quo, on the other hand, is probably one of the best example of streets dance crew, if you know what i mean. I do not think there’s much formal training, and thus the seemingly lack of tidying up at each performance.

But now, i’m very sure that Jabba is going to be announced the winner next week. Considering the swing votes that Jabba is very likely to receive now that Kaba is out of the race, you do not have to know any voting theory to figure out where the odds are on.

    JABBAWOCKEEZ DESERVES TO WIN AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW BUT WHETHER THEY WIN OR NOT, IS A DIFFERENT STORY. I AM READING OTHER BLOGS AND THE WORD IS THAT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A PERSON WHO WORKS AT MTV SAYS THAT IT HAS BEEN RIGGED FOR STATUS QUO TO WIN. I HOPE IT IS NOT TRUE BUT IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THAT STATUS QUO IS BETTER THAN KABBA MODERN.

    Hi cherilyn,

    Come on you’re kidding me. If Jabbawockeez doesn’t win it simply means there’s some sort of vote rigging happening. I’m putting my money on Jabbawockeez.

    I agree that Kabba Modern definitely beat Status Quo hands down. Trained verus untrained. There is simply no ground for any competition at all. But then as i mentioned the split voting between two similar groups gave SQ the advantage in the three way fight. There’s no chance that SQ can get more vote than Jabba in two way fight. Absolutely no chance.

    Don’t just believe the rumours. Might be social engineering at work. Go log onto MTV and vote for Jabba!

    Cheers,
    Chongky
