Prep Schooling

I've never liked Burberry before--especially that drab plaid nonsense--but if this is the new direction it's going in, I'll take every piece, thank you.

Revving up for ABDC

Hopefully Season 5 of America's Best Dance Crew will blast last season out of the water.

With regionals outta the way and on to real business tomorrow night, this season promises to be different at the very least! No b-boy crews made it to the final cut. That means we'll be seeing a diversity of styles. Hopefully, they can hold our attention.

So far, I predict that Saltare, while passionate, will ultimately suffer from being too gimmicky. I'm sure it'd be pretty sick to watch them on a double dutch court, but I think they'll soon face their limits on the stage. I'm surprised and impressed at what Hawaii offers, with Hype 5-0's "smooth way of bringing it hard," as Lil Mama would say. This year, it's the boys turn to challenge the audience's perception of body image as Heavy Impact definitely has a presence. Let's see if they can get farther than Season 4's Artistry in Motion.



Will Poreotix be the next Quest/Boogie Bots hybrid? Will Swagger Crew live up to their illustrious name? Will JC make at least one cheesy (or inappropriate) comment at judging? Only time will tell. Except for that last bit. JC's "colorful" commentary is as sure as the awesome factor of Lil Mama's outfits. I can't wait to see what she wears tomorrow night. Another glittered blazer?...It's poppin'.

Bounce

It's so rare that a sequel turns out better than its predecessor, but Step it Up 2: the Streets definitely brings it harder with slicker dance moves and a deeper plot.
