ABDC Returning.

So ABDC is returning to MTV, and it kind of made my day when I heard the news, I finally have something to look forward to in the summer, and I also have someone finally thats interested in dance that I can put my own dance crew together, and with ABDC returning, its just going to inspire me to dance more.

So, apparently crews will be returning and also info popped up of winners returning too, someone mentioned winners competing again and I found it a bit silly, if all 7 crews returned to compete then jabbawockeez would probably win, even though I don't think they deserve to, not that I dislike them, I just find other crews more interesting or whatever.
I do think however its possible that winners will deffinetly return but as guests on each show, or a special performance, It did go through my mind that maybe they'd mentor the crews on the show, kind of like X-factor judges do, or more appropriate, LIVE TO DANCE did.

I have a friend who is interested in dance, we always chat about dance stuff, but he's in america and he always seems to have info on crews, he's taken classes by Brandon from IaMmE, and always tells me things about ReQuest and Parris, he told me that ReQuest were called back for the show, whether to believe him or not, I don't know, but I think Parris is successful enough that returning to compete is not something she needs as a title, however I'd love if Bubblegum, Duchesses or Sorority were to compete on the show, but if it is returning crews, its possible that would have to wait, I really love the idea of Parris being a judge aswell, she's done so well over the past few years and watching her is really inspirational, the recent video she did to beyonce's 711 is nothing but epicness, and I was looking at some HHI stuff from last year on her Instagram and it was amazing to see that in her show, she had parts from previous HHI performances, the thing that stood out was ReQuest, with Sam, who we haven't seen in a long while, doing part of their 2011 routine to Baby Boy, but it was more sexy... more amazing, I love that Parris isn't afraid to go with naughty :P
I find it weird that Sam and Ngavaine were both in that video, but when Parris introduced everyone that was part of The Royal Family for 2014, neither were in that...
anyway, back to ABDC as this is turning into a "how I love Parris so much" post.

ABDC, when it comes back, I'm hoping its in HD, It sucks for someone like myself who has to download the episodes and watch poor quality, maybe ABDC was recorded in 480p, I know it couldn't be streamed in HD on the ABDC site, and it didn't look HD on MTV UK's channel, so I'm really hoping that MTV up their game this time, and someone is kind enough to share the episodes, because being passionate about dance and then not being able to watch something really sucks.
I'm not even sure season 6 or 7 were aired here...
Another thing they need to improove on is camera angles, when Phillip Chbeeb and Moon are creating some brainbanging masterpeice, I want to see it from the front, not the side... an example is IaMmE's routine in the Nicki Minaj episode, they opened with something creative and the camera angle just kind of ruined it, if tutting is going on, brainging banging, some sort of illusion, don't ruin it by showing it from the side please MTV.

I'd love for D-trix to return as a judge, he was always fun and I feel as if he kind of needs to be there, he was a much better judge than Shane Sparks, and well... better than lil mama and JC, I think rather "big" celebrities, the judges should be well known dancers in the community, I think thats why D-trix worked so well, people knew who he was, people loved him for being funny, and people loved him for what he does.

Anyway, my small wishlist for the return:
HD recording equiptment, Miniotics, Bubblegum, Sorority, Duchesses, Parris, Phil, Moon, Cheeto, some more Dubstep :P

That reminds me actually, I remember when there was a show that makes fun of talent shows like x-factor, and the guy would sing dressed as a woman, and in the show he mentions "drum'n bass week" and it made me laugh, but... It makes me think, theres alot of genre's of music that we've not seen people dance to before, for example, when I'm in a dancey mood, I'll listen to hip hop, house or dubstep, but I'd like to see someone create something to the genre I find myself mostly listening to, Happy Hardcore...

I personally think it would make a very interesting episode, seeing what crews could come up with for music like this would be interesting, I guess my question is, what would you have crews dance to?

Anyway, thats my post done, was going to post some weeks back but it was 4am when I started typing up, bye bye 8D

HHI and Other Stuff.

So, I'm not going to link to videos for this, but will just discuss, It's been a long while since I last posted because theres not been much to look at, sure theres been some cool videos but I usually like reviewing routines and stuff on TV shows, thought I'd post about HHI, seeing as I done it last year but didn't do it this year, kinda just been busy with other stuff.
So, lets get started.
Bubblegum:
Bubblegums semi finals performance was great, I remember I was on skype with a friend and I watched it, and was smiling and impressed with the routine alot, the whacking in the beginning was cool, then the krumping was amazing, was really impressed by the krump V: then there was that footwork to the house song that was cool, and then there was like a sexy part, and I was like "wow, they're young but thats really brave" there was a few things I would have liked kept in the final peice where the one at the front does the leg thing, then the 2 behind do it and so on, but I also liked the final peice in place of this where they were all leaning on each other and moved up and down, it was amazing, I do feel somehow the choreo for the Single Ladies part in the final peice was lacking because it just seemed to be clapping.
the whacking to the electro house part in the final peice was done nicely, although one of the girls seemed to be a little far to the left, but I loved it, was amazing.

Sorority:
So, Sorrority's semi final peice also wow'd me, I had seen their routine for SDNZ and was impressed anyway, then it was removed, then... seeing the semi final peice was amazing for me, I like seeing all the little differences and was sad to see my favourite piece from the semi final go in the final.
the part I'm talking about is just after the lyrics "some of dem say they gazza RAH" and they tilt their head, move it slowly and then they did a hand piece which worked marvelously and the "TSH" sound in the song, they moved their hand up to it and it was SOOOO effective, seeing the semi final routine and hearing the crowd go wild for that part was amazing, it was replaced with them leaning forward and coming up slowly in the final piece, which I didn't like so much, the rest of the choreo for the final was amazing, the whacking TRF do is always amazing and they're so in sync with each other its ridiculous, the 2nd song was cool, the choreo was FRICKING AMAZING and SEXY AS HELL, the chest moving in that part was sooooo siiiiiiick, loved it, I was a little dissapointed with the following part where they pulled the masks up, well not that actual part itself, that was amazing because the girl (Kyra i think?) she has Crazy eyes... not in a bad way, she seems funny too (sdnz performance gone with the wind fabulous part)
It was just how they all moved to the right as one, it didn't feed me with amazment, I think they probably should have done some choreo to the vocals rather than just... sliding right.
not much a fan of the J-lo song but hey, still entertaining <3 Kiel is amazing... if I could dance like anybody it'd be him, I like the way he can switch it up between feminine and manly :P

The Royal Family:
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR this was amazing... opening with a song that... made me laugh because I had watched the "how to sing like" video by Nigahiga and he was singing the drake song... that opening... it was sick, its like "we're here, we're gonna getcha" and somewhat scary, then BOOM that choreo was amazing, I loved the way Parris then looks at the crowd and nods her head like "yea, we're here doing our thing, WHUT D:<" and then they all swing their arms, and its soooooo in sync and amazing :D then they create a thrown for that guy... which was sexy, then all go out crawling and this was also very sexy, Ori's awesome, I'm so glad she was a part of this because she wasn't at HHI last year, and she's my 2nd fav dancer next to Parris, those ropes... damn... some more whacking / vogue'ing, maybe... tutting, seems similar was all amazing, then they create the crown... which was awesome, then we get that awesome housing by TRF to Big Bad Wolf, I always love it when they do the house stuff, wish I could move my feet like that D:
then some reggae, and cool choreo, and Parris doing some sexy stuff with girl from sorority and Bianca (ionno the girls name) and then they pause, and the opening to PLAY starts and they all move SOOOO slow, tbh... I think Parris could go to HHI and get away with doing their Candy routine for their HHI routine, anyway... one thing the HHI youtube captures in this segment that The Palace's video does not is the guy walking in from the right really slow, which is amazing...
next was the krump peice, which Ori seems to be incharge of and DAAAAMN, ever since these guys started doing krump, i've loved it, they do it better than Street Kingdom (sorry SK) and then Kiel comes in and BAM, theres that Manliness I was talking about, and then BAM again, he goes back to feminine for lead up to the ending, I think the beginning of the beyonce part is a little confusing, the way they all walk forward is sexy as heck but then... kiel goes, the next 2 follow, and onwards, I can see the pattern going backwards like a wave, but I think it can be somewhat confusing if you don't know where to look, but damn, the following choreo is good, then we have that small movement with the hips swaying, which is very effective :P then more awesome choreo <3 and then... the ending...
the boss thing, and the sound that ends it, and the pose to finish it... its just wow... fucking ace.

some other bits~
ElecoldXhot's performance looks REALLY fun, its really fun to watch.
Flip's choreo seemed somewhat messy, just seemed to be the tricks that were the wow moments, how this beat bubblegum I have no idea.
Sorority's performance was better than Sol-T Shine, Sol-T's performance seemed like a follow up to last years routine, and some bits felt like some of the choreo was the same, how they beat sorority confuses the front door out of me, and same with last year, sorority's footwork for where have you been ... that alone was better than sol-t's performance.
Brotherhood's performance was amazing, I don't know if sorority should be first or brotherhood, I'd say sorority but i think i'd pick them because I'm a sorority fan lol, one thing i will mention also about sorority's performance, the pussycat dolls part, seemed kinda boring, only interesting part there was kyra's leg going up.

So, Step Up 5 next year, apparently Parris is a choreographer and damn... it will have alot of good people in it, when So You Think You Can Dance was on, they were saying about how Emilio will be in it (sorry if I've not typed that properly) and I also saw a pic of Adam Sevani with with Jaja, so Jaja will be in it too, Chadd... also Phillip will be in it, hoping Moon too, and hopefully Chachi coz haven't seen her in ages, and Brandon also, I also want to see other members of the Royal Family, like Kiel, Oriana, Kyra, Bianca... just to see TRF in it would be amazing, all my favourite dancers in one movie... what I'm expecting is Phillip and Moon to make some crazy 30 person brain bang, some krump... I want amazing krump by Parris, that hard hitting RF choreo...
Robotix, Popping... damn, I'm excited.
I watched Step Up 4 again recently and... yea it is dissapointing, 3 was a much better movie and had much better choreo, I'm hoping they don't fuck up with this one... if theres tutting, or a brain bang, show it from the front, TUTTING is not good to look at from a side view, unless people are back to back doing tutting... to make something where it should be recorded from the side, ABDC always fucks up, Dance Showdown when watching a Mike Song peice they fucked up coz I couldn't see that awesome mike song tutting... LXD fucked up ... I think the IaMmE episode had some weird camera angles... I don't want weird camera angles for favourite style of dance D:<
Jon M Chu better not mess it up, or i'll be mad :3
I'm hoping that... if theres a part where Chadd does robot stuff again with more people, its better than what we saw in Step Up 4... he's a treasure and he deserves more than a 20 second scene where he's a cop, he's awesome... so treat him awesomely!!!
uuuuugh, I really can't wait D8 Parris, Chadd, IaMmE, Poreotics... Javbbawockkeez better be there too, and Quest, I saw a pic with one of the guys from Elektrolytes too so maybe they're in it, I wouldn't be suprised if all the ABDC winners are in the movie, so a reunion would be awesome.
and when they release it to DVD... I'd really love to see like... extra stuff, routines that crews have done and all that, I think crews should do that on their youtubes... like... IaMmE, Poreotics, other winners should record in their studios their ABDC routines, so we can see the routines from the front, I also think this should be done with HHI routines, like... I'd really like to see ReQuest's routines from HHI, and all that :P
anyway, thats my post for now.

Top Five Dance Crews.

So these are my five top crews.

1: IaMmE:
With Moon and Pacman doing videos all the time in the past, i could tell this crew was going to be good, taking tutting to the next level was one of the best things i had seen in Dance.
the 6 of them individually are all talented and work very well as a team, they deserved to win ABDC 6, brainbangin' is unique and hasnt been done before.
one thing i would have loved to seen on ABDC 6 would have been when the judges put the final three crews with other crews for a big performance, with 6 people brainbangin' is awesome, with 15 - 20 would have been amazing to see.
fav routine: S&M

2: Poreotics:
I remember i had seen videos of Poreotics before they got on ABDC, the first video i watched was the routine they did at Fusion X, from then on i loved them, the first abdc i watched was season 4, which i had downloaded, which was round time season 5 had started on TV, so when me and my sister finished watching abdc 4, and started watching 5, i was excited that Poreotics were on it. I love the comedy they bring, the tutting, and the fact they make ancing look really fun, i'd say Poreotics made me wants to dance, i freestyle when no ones looking, and i learned their awesome tutting routine for Hide & Seek (Afrojack Remix) even when they arent dancing, they're fun to watch, they're cool and thats why they get 2nd in my favs. they were at thorpe park doing a workshop on my birthday D: which blew because we went thorpe park a few days later Dx
Fav Routine: Love Story / Taylor Swift & the tutting section in their newer routine for Warp1.9 / The Bloody Beetroots and Steve Aoki. the illusion they create using the remix after the original is trippy and epic.

3: ReQuest:
I love the way these girls always hit hard, they should have won HHI 2011, I'm from the UK but dont think that Plague should have won, Parris' choreo was much better, the Krumping was perfect and i dont really like Krump, however i enjoyed that, the Sexiness of the beyonce section was awesome, and dubstep part was awesome too, they didnt deserver to go out of ABDC 6 when they did, they should have stayed longer, i think personally it was because they werent from the US.
Fav Routine: HHI 2011

4th: Quest Crew:
Bboys arent really something i'm a fan of, but they tut too, which i'm a big fan of, Hok is british also :D which i find cool, seing as most british dancers recently... bug me =3=
I guess we'll be seing some Brainbangin' performances from Quest seing as Hok has worked with Pacman & Moon, and Quest did it on ABDC5 Champions For Charity
they all seem to be athletic, they have been in music videos, a movie, and i enjoy watching them also.
Fav Performance: Champions For Charity Performance, where i saw the first brain bang :3

5th: Jabbawockeez:
as i started on ABDC 4, i hadnt really known much about Jabbawockeez apart from the fact they wear masks, but they were the first to win and they have a show in Vegas :D
I guess if they arent in my top 5 then i should be shot or something, anyway... I saw some performances and they didnt really stand out, but when i first noticed how talented they are (on Champions For Charity) i really liked them, and continued looking for videos etc.
They were in Step Up 2, which is cool, and their routine on the final for ABDC 7 was amazing.
Fav Performance: ABDC 7's final, Devastating Stereo, i decided to continue talking about this as my favourite performance, The opening was a bit slow, just alot of marching, moving left to right with the other dancers then Tight Eyes started krumping, at this point, i'll be honest and say i didnt like it much.
When the mess dissapeared, and it was just Jabbawockeez, things got alot better, it was slow in a good way, and then very fast and exciting that gave me goosebumps :D
that performance was Epic.

Other crews i like:
Sorrority
Bubblegum
Miniotics <3
Sweet And Sour
Status (UK not Status Quo from abdc)
Instant Noodles
Untamed
World Order
Vogue
Dziah 2.0

Next post will be about Got To Dance.
