Last season, the selections were very easy. The top two crews that stood out from the crowd were the Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern. I had selected Kaba Modern first and Jabba second after their debut performances and both crews ultimately made it to the top three with Jabba taking the title. This season however the crews have definitely been less consistent making it harder to choose the top crew for the season. I actually had four crews on my radar after week two.
The Boogie Bots, SoReal Cru, Fanny Pak, and A.S.I.I.D. All had very unique styles and I particularly liked the fact that three out of the four crews mentioned had females in them. Just this past week, A.S.I.I.D was eliminated from the competition, so that left three crews to choose from. First there was Fanny Pak. As much as I would like them to win, I just can’t see a crew without any hip hop influences win the show. Hip Hop is where its at and when it comes down to the final three, Fanny Pak’s unique style won’t be enough to get them in.
Next, the Boogie Bots. My favorite B-Boy crew hands down in the competition. Can they make it to the final three? Definitely. They are a really smooth crew who have really stepped it up the last few weeks. I like the fact that they are risk takers and are willing to try new things while still remaining true to their B-Boy style. If my pick for the show gets eliminated, I would definitely like to see these boys win the entire thing.
Finally, my pick for America’s Best Dance Crew. SoReal Cru. At this point, any crew can win the competition, but what sets this crew apart is definitely the ladies. Both ladies can get down and dirty, still maintain their sexiness, and bring another element that crews without females can’t provide. So Real’s week five performance solidified my choice and they were clearly the best of the night, and it was the ladies that brought the house down.
After five weeks of competition, my vote goes to SoReal Cru FTW! What crew do you think will go all the way???
