i am so tired of people thinking they know breaking after they watch this gay shit. they see windmills and there like

oh shit that was dope . im glad i know how to do that . that makes me better than you ally .

then when i do a 90 to a airbaby there all like .... he won cause thats shit is on tv
lolwut? BOTY good choreography? Half the time they mess up and aren't in sync. I like how a lot of people tell off hip-hop choreography like So real, Kaba Modern, and Fanny Pak as something not dope and easy. It's hard to pull off isolations and grooves like that.

And this show brings b-boying more to the public which is a good thing in my opinion. More people know about and more people can take part in it which helps our culture out.

I disagree with the entire concept of the show.
Despite the fact it gives exposure to up and coming dancers trying to make it, the majority of people who watch the show are ignorant to the subject of dance period. Not to mention it gives off not the wrong representation, but a bad one, making people think that hip hop is about tricks and moves.

While it does inspire people to start taking up dance as a hobby and passion, it brings in those bitchy ass ones that believe bboying is all about power, and that sets need to contain speed control, ripples, and other crowd pleasing effects. I can't stand to see any of these people at dance events who are blown away by the most mediocre crap.

and.. I don't know how many of you people actually know, but the show is completely rigged. There is a clause in the contract that all people participating on the show have to sign that states that the producers can choose whoever they want to be on or off the show, as long as it doesn't violate other individual contracts.
For example: There are actually teams on the show guaranteed a certain amount of episodes before they can be kicked off the show. So if there have only been 2 episodes, and a team is guaranteed 3 episodes, even if they end up at the bottom with the lowest votes, they can't be kicked off.
So in the end, it's who you know and not really the dancing.

Word? hmmm ya i can see that happening since it did happen first season.
Too me, im not a huge fan of the show itself but i still watch it because i actually like some crews on their. But one thing i really dislike about it is that the crews sell out. Ex) TM in season 3. In the audition for season 2 they freakin killed that routine but they didnt make it because i guess there was no hype in it (Bullshit). Comes season 3 and they became all punk rock and shit and im like wow you guys sold out.

And thats another thing that kills the true beauty in this style. ABDC is all bout hype; which crew can get the crowd going and ratings up. I havent seen a crew on their dance to an R&B song since TM auditioned in season 2. Most songs they use on there are fast-paced and club music. Me personally, i think the true art comes out when any dancer dances to like R&B, Soul, etc. Lots of emotions come out through the dance when dancers use songs from these genres.

Yes it does give the dancers exposure and the culture exposure, but it gives a wrong message to the viewers. Im a bboy too and everytime i dance out in public i get a "HEY CAN YOU DANCE LIKE THE JABBAWOCKEEZ?" or "STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE QUEST CREW".. god that shit gets on my nerves so much. But this is mainstream, hasnt changed ever since. Oh is that like an on-going trend with judges (2 males 1 female)? seems like every show that has judges theres always 2 males 1 female.

Not this again. You mean the thing where it looks like the guy was upside down? My mom said she saw someone do that in the fucking 60s at a party. There so many videos of people putting that up on youtube prior to the show, it wasn't a bite. And they didn't even do it the same say. When Physicx did it, it looked like he was doing handhops to airflares, when Hok did it, he just used it as a gimmick to do the stupid crotch grab dance
