[hustln4life]

I've been checkin for a review of the finals everyday! I'm really looking forward to ur next review!!

[taizuke]

@hustln4life It should up within an hour or two. I'll do my best to uploaded as fast as possible.

[lalalaacer]

How come there's not a review about the finals?

[taizuke]

@lalalaacer Don't worry there will be. It's just i've been busy with other stuff so expect it Friday night at best, ok? Anyway, appreciate that you look forward to my review.

I AM ME's championship was tarnished because they were challanged and if they had lost they would have lost to kids who couldnt dance better than them and now that they won they just beat kids i cant believe randy jackson mtv and them did that to this crew wasnt fair at all they deserved to go up against a really great crew

[miketna4ever]

i've noticed this in all the seasons when the top 3 week happens the crew that is safe has never won

1. status quo

2. so real

3. beat freakz

4. afroborique

5. blue print

6. Iconic???????

[taizuke]

@miketna4ever Hopefully that tradition will continue. :)

[nomadic8000]

abdc is a popularity contest not on skills

[taizuke]

@nomadic8000 You make a good point.

[capricornbaby73]

Well, I have nothing to say but I agree with everything you said, Taizuke. I don't agree with who are in the finals, but it is what it is:/ Seriously, how can anyone watch both Last Chance performances and NOT see that I aM Me deserve to be champs? You would have to be blind or hopeless. I like ICONICboyz, but they haven't been up to par with other crews. They have a ways to go before they can get to a level where they need to be.

[taizuke]

@capricornbaby73 Hell yeah!

[1Dayna1]

I AM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taizuke]

@1Dayna1 Preach!

[Treelytop]

Yeah but Pacman said that each of their dance moves was describe through the elements of life and then they each came out with that element to show us why they were call that while "We Are Heroes" said that they wanted to be Super Heroes. IAMME's elements was also displayed through the changes of the mood of their performance. I wasn't even thinking about "we are heroes" when I saw this routine cause I was so wrapped up in their amazing opening number and seeing those elements brought to life.

[taizuke]

@Treelytop I didn't mean to make it seem like it was a copy. I completely understand their concept and is far different than We Are Heroes. I was just reminded of We Are Heroes because all of them being super heroes. So, i agree with 100%.

[reenacashley]

EXACTLY IaMmE murder it

[taizuke]

@reenacashley Indeed!

[TheBMac16]

so true!!!

IaMmE is the champs for me!!!

vote! vote! vote!

[taizuke]

@TheBMac16 I actually thought this from day 1 but never mentioned it. I should've.

[iztech101]

TEXT 2 TO 22444!

[taizuke]

@iztech101 Spread the word!

[JRJuggernaut1]

But really it just hurts that PP got eliminated cuz I know they could have won that battle and maybe that would have happened if they had performed second as opposed to first :(

[taizuke]

@JRJuggernaut1 I don't think Phunk performing 1st had anything to do with them leaving. IaMme had one of the strongest performances i've seen and on top of that their identity as a crew is unique as opposed to Phunk who's a strong hip hop crew. Plus, like i said, this was IaMmE's first time at the bottom.

[JRJuggernaut1]

I hate to say it, but part of me feels like PP performed better than IaMmE, and even if they didn't I really don't think it was obvious that IaMmE would be chosen over PP. Both performances were unbelievable in my opinion and this battle was even closer than the Fanny Pak v. Super Cr3w battle in Season 2. Iconic Boyz are a strong group but they don't belong in the finals, but they also don't deserve a ton of hate either.

[taizuke]

@JRJuggernaut1 Hey, i think it's cool that you feel PP had a better performance even if i disagree. But, take in mind that Phunk had been at the bottom before and while it was IaMmE's 1st so i think that was another deciding factor. I think they deserve some hate cause as you and i have witness they;re not on par with the other crews and yet they get voted on cause they're cute kids. It's like hating on the Twilight movies.

[jjvirus]

Just curious, Taizuke, how would you rank this season compared to the other five? Also, what do you think were the five best performances of the season?

[taizuke]

@jjvirus I think this season is up there with season 1 & 3. So, 3rd or 4th. As for my top 5... that's tricky... in no order "IaMmE's "Spider girl", Street Kingdom's "Never Say Never", Phunk's "Don't stop the party" (Black Eyed Peas), Request's "Clone performance" and Instant Noodles' "Video game challenge".

[tigerofvirgo9]

I really like the intros that Phunk P. and IME gave in the opening. Phunk had that swagger (can't stand that word but had to say it) IME had insane tutting.

When Iconic Boyz was the saved crew my reaction was "I KNEW IT!" Like in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. They did have some good moments with the dougie on the floor and other stuff, but the dance was just okay. Phunk was getting it. Really like Kassandra sassyness and the stunts they did. Xclusive did another brave great move.

[tigerofvirgo9]

@tigerofvirgo9 What can I say about I.aM.mE.? They turned that out (no pun intended). The isos, the shaking, the transitions, etc. was all that and then some. As far as the last chance dances, IB was mediocre, they just had the tutting part, otherwise it's just ehh. How the hell could IME go wrong, when that had the elements on their side. It was BEAUTIFUL! From Chachi's hot solo to Brandon light on his feet to Pacman's flowing moves, and making the letters at the end...(whistle).

[taizuke]

@tigerofvirgo9 You could see JC's excitement over IaMmE as well as D-Trix and Mama which was different when it came down to Iconic. So, i don't know the judges are on a leash or if they're being told to be nice seeing it makes no different now that IB is at the finale.

[taizuke]

@tigerofvirgo9 When Iconic was saved i could not believe it... haha

[TheMrthenao]

FYI taizuke, ICONic Boyz bit that "Touch the Sky" moment off of Super Cr3w. And yeah I'm as pissed as you are about the whole ICONic Boyz thing but I can't say I didn't see it coming.

[ShardOfFire]

@TheMrthenao Thank you! Someone else actually thinks they bit off Super Cr3w.

[taizuke]

@ShardOfFire Even though i heard D-Trix mentioned it i didn't give it much thought. Had i thought about more clearly i would shun light on the whole biting aspect.

[taizuke]

@TheMrthenao Yeah but what angers the most is that Iconic Boyz being at the finale without little to effort and the judges not taking their performance as serious as the other crews.

[TheMrthenao]

@taizuke Yeah it bothers me but at the same time I don't think they want to be a bunch of assholes to kids. But not giving them that much constructive criticism isn't helping either.

[BigTashia]

i don't buy that whole, 'well its about america voting' that is so lame!! ABDC execs have to be behind this mess!! LOL! anyhoo, again im with you all of the way!! IME brain banged me too! that last performance shut Iconic down!!! can't wait til Sunday, i love seeing the old champs perform!!!!

[taizuke]

@BigTashia Can't wait too! And i think you were right about Iconic Boyz having the mafia on their side if by mafia you mean legion of young girls. lol

[BigTashia]

oh my Tiazuke!!! i can't believe what happened! but i seen it coming we all did!! well really i just knew they were goin home! ABDC is soooo wack this season and soooo shady!! i finally have been forced to vote and yes i voted for IME!! i've been pullin for them all season and they will win!!! Lil mama is blinded by her love for young people i feel her, but i can see past all that! IB need more time to develop and grow, last night their choreo was sloppy in areas. they are NOT the best crew!!

[taizuke]

@BigTashia Completely AGREE! :)

[NotLmfao]

If Iconic Boyz wins ABDC, I'll never watch this show again.

[taizuke]

@NotLmfao I feel you.

[00Pablo01]

Taizuke, what did i say last week huh? This voting system has shown its flaws, regardless of who wins now ( Voting for I.Am.Me. ) . The system needs to be changed. I believe they should remove the BOTTOM TWO idea, and let the Judges decide who goes each week at the end of the show, based on the weakest performance. They need to find another way to incorparte the viewers, but NOT by voting.

[taizuke]

@00Pablo01 You were definitely right the whole time. As for another way of voting... i don't know cause i wouldn't feel okay with leaving it up to the judges.

[ShardOfFire]

YES! @taizuke , tell'em like it is! THANK YOU! Iconic Boyz didn't deserve the place they are at right now. These young fangirls don't know the heart and soul crews put in on this show. They vote cause of the cuteness. If felt no passion or conviction from their Last Stand performance. Yet, Ill-emental was champion material. I felt goosebumps while watching. It had the intensity of orQUESTra and Ichiban, but with IME Swag! If IB becomes ABDC champions then I will ABDC will lose all credibility.

[taizuke]

@ShardOfFire Couldn't agree more and you're welcome!

[rudejude16]

My ideal scenario would be if the shows gets another season I hope they do away with the viewer voting. That way the show can be judged based on the performances instead of sob stories and cute faces. I say let the judges actually judge. Some new judges would be nice too. JC can stay, but I would like to see Shane come back. I would say Lil Mama should take her word a day calender someplace else, but she might start trying to make music again.

[ShardOfFire]

@rudejude16 I totally agree. The viewer voting needs to be either amended or throw out. I hate sob stories when they come onto any competitive show. I don't care what happened in the past, I care what you do on that stage. I wanna to see what has happened to you fuel your burning passion on that stage! JC can stay! He actually critics crews and gives them tough love. Lil' Mama need to pack her bags, she really does. Bring Shane back and get Kid Rainen from Jabba to judge.

[taizuke]

@ShardOfFire What about me as a judge? lol jp

[ShardOfFire]

@taizuke Dude....if you were a judge....that would actually be awesome. I honestly don't want Vanilla judges. Shane and JC weren't vanilla judges. Lil' Mama is like fuckin' molasses on how sweet she is to those she's biased upon.

[taizuke]

@ShardOfFire Thanks, man. Appreciate that.

[taizuke]

@rudejude16 I feel same way about Mama that i do with Ashton Kutcher (now with him being tied to 2 1/2 Men) that as long as they're busy they don't get to put out more crap (Mama with her music and Ashton with his movies). haha

[rudejude16]

I'd like to know how they ended up with a Pitbull and Neyo song for the Last Chance Challenge. I thought the point of it was for the crew to create their own music. Since the people that are going to vote for IB are going to do so anyway they should have just had PP perform their final performance instead. Just so we could at least see the way it should have been.

Were they paying tribute to Super Crew with the big jump and tossing money? Poreotix from the Usher challenge VIP entrance?

[ShardOfFire]

@rudejude16 I felt like the were more bitin' then playin' tribute. Of course they're kids and they probably didn't noticed. Put when you hit the ABDC stage you need to bring some new and something that you can make your own. Using other crew's swag is not being very original.

[taizuke]

@ShardOfFire Forgotten about that Super Cr3w stunt.

[taizuke]

@rudejude16 Perhaps nothing worked and ABDC ultimately gave them those two songs? Cause i've heard on interviews they're huge fans of Pitbul as well as artist like Usher and Chris Brown.

[Jpimpin2593]

Yes! we need to vote all week for I.aM.mE. I dont even want to imagine the possibility of Iconic Boyz being crowned champions alongside Jabbawockeez, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, We Are Heroes, and Poreotics. Looking foward to the finale regardless so I can see the past champions perform

[taizuke]

@Jpimpin2593 Can't wait either!

[SebataySalas]

I have voted for I.aM.mE sense the beginning but this time I have voted like crazy to hope they got enough votes to get the crown.

[taizuke]

@SebataySalas Keep voting! We can't understimate 14 year old girls. lol

[jjlupas11]

oh just wanna know if any of u saw phunk gave a shout out to poreotics

[taizuke]

@jjlupas11 Ooh... didn't see that. Will have to watch again.

[hustln4life]

I LOVE IaMMe!!! They're are obviously the best crew to hit the ABDC floor. No matter what happens, everyone will kno that they ARE americas BEST dance crew. But I can't help but think that iconic boyz fans will vote them to the top.. its sad but will follow the ABDC patterns. All the ODD seasons gave us true champions(season 1-jabba , season 3- qwest, season 5-poreotics) ,,, ,,, however the EVEN seasons gave us mehh winners(season 2- super crew, season 4- we are heroes)

[taizuke]

@hustln4life I love IaMmE too! haha Anyway, i don't think Super Cr3w and We Are Heroes were mehh winners.

[jjlupas11]

even on this episode the 2 bottom crews out performed Iconic phunk was making get funky and dance in my living room while Iam me literally brained banged me and left me in awe and speechless . i really will stop watching abdc and im sure a lot of ppl will too if iconic wins and i feel like abdc will lose its credibility . What disappointed me about this seaso is they had so many awesome crew like ReQuest and 787 and they all went home early and thats the main negative thing for this season

[taizuke]

@jjlupas11 I'll keep watching regardless but it won't be the same.

[jjlupas11]

well i said it on the last review vid the worst possible scenario has happened both IamMe and phunk were at the bottom . I really think abdc should change the voting system . phunk got robbed and this is like season 1 and i hope it ends like season 1 where the true and real better crew wins IamMe. i dont wanna diss iconic coz they are good and have a lot of time to be even more better but at their current state their performances throughout the whole season was not on par with Iam me or phunk

[taizuke]

@jjlupas11 Yeah, i may talk negative about Iconic but i see they're good. But, not as good as the others.

[havanatlc]

Dude I totally agree with everything you said. Especially in relation to Iconic boyz. How could they feel good about their performance compared to other crews.

[taizuke]

@havanatlc I think the judges don't care anymore. Part of me feels they're just riding Iconic's wave cause they know the other crews are much better.

[JC22MrProdigiouS]

I.aM.mE really needs to win this... if they dont... i wont even look at jabba quest and poreotics the same anymore because they would be in the same league of iconic boyz.

[taizuke]

@JC22MrProdigiouS Hadn't look at it that way but you're right... it would diminish what champion is supposed to encompass. haha
