After a grueling 10 week battle, the Jabbawokeez windmilled, glided, and flipped their way to the top spot of America's Best Dance Crew. Their moves were sick, but it was their determination that brought them to the number one spot. The crew started with seven members, however an illness that lead to death left the group with only six men to step up to the competition. Below is my personal favorite performance by them.
The Jabbawokeez were great, no doubt, but we've seen this all before. Men dancing, six stepping their way around the stage, doing a flare and catching a handkerchief in the middle. Okay, maybe not the last one, but what I'm getting at is that they were original only to an extent.
I'd go out on a limb to say that the all girl group Fysh N Chicks really brought it. They were original in a sense that all girl hip-hop dance groups are almost unheard of. I used to dance, in fact is was a large part of my life for some time, and to see these girls getting grimey on stage really made me watch every week. I can't lie, after they were voted off I kind of lost interest. They were the total package, I'm convinced America was just not ready for the chicks to win it all.
Overall, the Jabbawokeez really brought it. Their gimmicky little masks won over America's heart, though deep down inside mine you'll find a place for Fysh N Chicks. Below is a video of their first performance on the show.
