Wock Of Fame: Jabbawockeez Still America's Best Dance Crew

Posted Mon Jul 28, 2008 2:34pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

So recently I heard chitchat around the office that Yahoo! Music was planning to do an On Location shoot with the almighty, all-around awesome Jabbawockeez. The winners of season 1 of America's Best Dance Crew!! Holy frig!

I got all excited and immediately started planning a superfly outfit to wear when I inevitably bumrushed this sure-to-be-amazing taping. A mask would have to be incorporated somehow...

...but then I found the taping had already taken place. I'd missed it.

In the words of ABDC judge Lil' Mama: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Crestfallen--as if my own banner had just fallen, actually--I asked the producer peeps why I'd not been invited. And one of the Yahoo! producers innocently asked, "Oh, are you a fan of the show?"

Um, am I FAN of the SHOW? Oh, naw. I just write a near-daily blog called REALITY ROCKS about REALITY TELEVISION that has my NAME and FACE on it. That's all. So why would I be a fan of America's Best Dance Crew, one of the best reality shows EVER, right?

Sheesh.

Well, that shows you how good the communication is here at these big corporations. Anyway, it was an innocent mistake. Those producers can make it up to me by, say, doing a shoot with Fanny Pak next time, and cordially inviting me to that taping. I already have my outfit planned for that shoot--it will involve lots of neon, skintight Lycra, possibly an '80s prom dress...and a fannypack, of course!

To be honest, though, as much as I lovelovelove this season's Fanny Pak crew (and SoReal Cru, too), I don't think any ABDC crew can compare to Jabbawockeez.

These masked men are just astounding, and this shoot with them just might be the kewlest thing Yahoo! Music has ever done:

Daaaannnng. Why wasn't I there???

That was awsome i hope they are feature in more performances by other major corporations.

yea...ummm...not that impressive. I feel that some of the crews this year are on par with the Wocks. SoReal cru is hott and Asid (even tho they were voted off) can entertain as well or better. The Wocks are super smooth ut dont bring any energy to the stage.

It was good but the jabbawockeez can rock the house if they want to. Jabbas keep on inspiring and flowing.

The Jabbawockeez are SICK! The only crew this season that has ever made me excited about a dance crew--since the Wockeez--is Fanny Pak.
