Here is the thing that separates singing and general talent shows from Dance shows. Legit Talent. Straight up Kelly Brook could hum the tune to Mario Brothers and I would shed a tear. With dancing you need to be a straight up talent to get anywhere. Although If Kelly Brook was doing the chicken dance I would still vote her through… To be fair I would cast Kelly Brook as Batman had I the choice.
Now Dancing With The Stars is a travesty and So You Think You Can Dance is legit, albeit having the most annoying judge in history. And despite all the terrible programming on MTV, I actually really dug Americas Best Dance Crew. It takes an interesting mix, JC Chasez of N’Sync (who is actually legit in his knowlege of dancing) Lil Mama (who may not be the best dancer or the most eloquent but… shes… there) and formerly Shane Sparks (who is pretty much a dance god) until he got Michael Jackson’d. Now Mr. B2K himself Omarion has taken up the reigns.
Most people watched the Jabbawockeez performances on youtube, (and they are straight up amazing) but there is a lot of other legit talent. Check out this article on Gawker.TV for a couple of vidz of the crews coming out of this season HERE.
Until Next Time I Remain… Dancing.
