LOS ANGELES — After weeks of popping, locking, flipping, ticking and general awesomeness, we get to find out the winner of “Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew.” Finally, something worthwhile on MTV.
Host Mario Lopez announces that they’ve received a record 38 million votes. I don’t know what or whose record but a record nonetheless. The crews get trotted out in the order of their elimination before introducing our finalists,San Diego’s JabbaWockeeZ and Boston’s Status Quo. Mario tosses it to the judges who gives us their thoughts on the remaining groups, including slo-mo highlight clips.
During a package showing all the crews reuniting for the finale (including a flip-off over members of other crews: like Fonzie on a motorcycle over sharks, except with people), it’s revealed that all the dancers are uniting into super-groups by quadrants to perform numbers on the show.
First up is the West Coast — Fysh n Chicks, Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeeZ — dancing to “Tell Me When To Go” by E-40. Insanity. That’s a whole lot of kick-ass on one stage. I want someone to write a dance movie specifically for Fysh & Chicks because they’re so rad. They never should’ve went home before Break Sk8. And I also adore Kabba Modern. The precision to which they dance is amazing.
Next up is the South — Enigma Dance Kru and Live in Color — dancing to Lil Jon’s “Get Low”. Live in Color are dressed like marching band members and both crews end dropping drumsticks a la Drumline. I almost forgot about Enigma. It’s a shame I remember them for their in-fighting instead of their dancing. They’re quite good … it’s just that Live in Color ate them alive. That group is ferocious.
Mario then lets everyone know that the second season of “America’s Best Dance Crew” will be on this summer. Here’s hoping it’ll start after “So You Think You Can Dance” so as to stave off my dance show withdrawal.
