I totally agree with you on the camera angles.They never let us see the whole performance like the judges do.Its seems to move all the time and they only want us to see what they think is the best angles.

SQ didnt get most vote,I dont believe that.I want to see the vote system anyways,instead them telling us!Jabba should take the win(which I hope they do!)But I guess we are going to wait for the finale,to wonder if this show is rigged!Vote for Jabba.

I agree.
Kaba was way better than status

I thought Kaba Modern was way better than Status. But they do got fans either way. Now it doesn't matter cause the JabbaWockeeZ have obliterated every compitition that has stepped in their way. Imagine what they would've done with all 10 members on the show! If you don't believe me just go to jabbawockeez.com

it surprised me that status quo got more votes.. and that kaba got eliminated.. it should be jabba vs. kaba.. some say that if u vote online for jabbawockeez the vote will counted for status quo.. but i think jabba will win.. i mean they're the dopest dance crew ever..

WELL I GOT NEWS FOR EAST COAST

PLEASE READ THIS SINCE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SHOW "America’s Best Dance Crew" .
There are a few things everyone should know about this dance group STATUS QUO before voting them as so called "America’s Best Dance Crew"
The following Information is not made up and can be backed up with solid evidence.

But before I tell you about Status Quo,
I must break down some very brief history that is related to the information you are about to find out on the following dance group.


In the Hiphop dance scene there is a term for street performance called "Hitting" as in ’Hitting the Streets to make money’.
(This term is more commonly used in the BBoy/Break-Dance scene)
Well known hitters in the bboy world as well as the Dance Industry are people such as Klown and KMel (’Step Up 2’ for those who are not familiar with the BBoy scene).

Street performing has been around for thousands of years so in terms of the structure of the actual performance, the tradition of ’Hitting’ started in NYC.
This includes the talking lines used to get an audience as well as the traditional hitting routines used when performing.
The whole tradition of hitting has been passed down from the original hitting crews such as the FLOAT COMMITTEE and LOCKATRON, just to name a few.
I have been told by Universal of the Original Float Committee, that Hitting started in the very early 70s.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of Hitting, I suggest you talk to the Klown, Breeze Team, Zone-TDK, KMel, etc...

If you are from New York City you are probably very familiar with Hitting.
There are street performers all over NYC. Performing outside in the streets, in the train stations, and even in the actual trains itself!

Now here’s where that group STATUS QUO comes into play.

During the summer time, several well respected NYC Hitting crews go to Boston to perform, since NYC has becoming harder and harder to perform in. (Police cracking down on street performers)

The hitting crews that come to Boston consist of: The BREEZE TEAM, TRANSFORMERZ, and Y.A.K
The areas in Boston that these crews would perform at and still do perform at are: Downtown Boston, Fanueil Hall, Boston Commons, and even Havard Sq!

About 2 years ago, there were these young group of kids called Status Quo and they started watching these 3 Hitting crews every summer.
After every performance they would praise each hitting crew about their amazing routines and their acrobatic skills in general.
Little did the Hitting Crews know was that Status Quo were secretly stealing the Hitting routines to make a name for themselves in the Boston dance scene (Not in the BBoy/Break-Dance scene).

What the group Status Quo does not understand is that for these Hitting Crews, street performing is a way of life.
This is how the BREEZE TEAM, TRANSFORMERZ, and Y.A.K make a living.
They ’Hit’ 7 days a week, all year long, even during the winter!
They made up these hitting routines as a way to make enough income to eat, pay rent, phone bills, child support, etc.
You can truly say that dancing is their life.


Now MTV comes up with this show "America’s Best Dance Crew", and Status Quo has used Hitting routines to make it through every week, all the way to the finals!

For most viewers watching this show, they do not know where the routines used by Status Quo originated from. So right away the majority of the viewers believe that Status Quo’s routines are made up entirely on their own and that the the routines are authentic, in other words original.

This may seem ok to everyone watching this show, but in the long run it will affect the dance crews who originated those routines to make a living.
More and more people will start thinking that the Hitters took those routines from Status Quo, and less income will be generated for these Hitting crews to make a living off of what they created.

In my opinion...
Plagiarizing in any form is a crime and should not be tolerated! !

BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO VOTE FOR "America’s Best Dance Crew" JUST THINK ABOUT THIS.

If you were to create something up entirely on your own, whether it be a poem or a painting. Wouldn’t you be angry if someone took what you originated and claimed it to be theirs, as well as make a profit off of your hard work?

I hope everyone reads this with an open mind and understands that I do not hate Status Quo as people but I do believe that they are way too talented to have to steal routines.
