Welcome to Something for Nothing

This was a fun week for ABDC. Eight dance crews had to visually transform to reflect their assigned song title. All in all, the crews executed their challenges with imagination, ending on a creative note.

Roll, rolling, human rolls,
A.S.I.I.D hits the stage to meet their challenge goals.
Shane was inspired but Lil mama, not so much,
J.C. liked it but felt it needed a cleaner touch.

SoReal charmed their way into our imaginations,
showing off their sneaky snake innovations.
We had a snake tut, a backwards snake moonwalk,
two gorillas making love in a jungle - no need for talk.

It’s Clark Kent, its Superman, no…. it’s Super Cr3w! Flying high.
With jumps, leaps and air flares our boys took to the sky.
The ending, OMG, that said it all judge Shane,
Super Cr3w had turned into a human airplane.

With a shoyuken uppercut from Sega’s street fighter,
Boogie Bots touched the childhood gamer.
Crazy, hot, lights out! Watch out!
Five dancers became one transformer, that’s what I’m talkin bout.

Visually stunning, soldiers from a toy store
Fanny Pak gave us something to explore
Shane said this is the crew to watch
Does this team have a chance to become topnotch?

Supreme Soul took us to a hotel
Used the stage and props very well
With precision, the crew rippled grabbing a bag
Up and down the elevator, showing their swag

Phresh Select and Xtreme Dance Force landed in the bottom two

Phresh Select had a poppin performance
Simple choreography and interesting stunts
With high energy, XDF made the stage shake
Organized chaos reflecting a quake

After the judges gave their critique
They had to decide which crew was weak
Though they gave it a really good try
Xtreme Dance Force, time to say goodbye

I know that Jessica Price is a major longshot to really do much at all on America’s Got Talent, but I think she’s absolutely fantastic. America’s Got Talent is an interesting show, because it brings together professional acts along with pure amateurs that are just trying to catch a break. Jessica Price is definitely an amateur, but she’s got some amazing qualities that I hope carry her through to the end.

She honestly reminds me a bit of Julienne Irwin from a past year who I absolutely loved. A little different talent, but the same in that they both were a little raw and by the end Julienne Irwin had learned and been taught so much. I’d like to see Jessica Price experience the same.

Enjoy the video of Jessica Price’s Audition on America’s Got Talent

I’ll be pulling for Jessica Price to win, so go out and vote for her when the time comes.

I have a bunch of other favorite videos from America’s Got Talent. Notice I haven’t posted hardly any America’s Got Talent videos of people who don’t have talent.

Video of Junior and Emily “Salsa” - America’s Got Talent 2008 - This was the fastest salsa I’ve ever seen.

Video of America’s Got Talent 2008 Joseph Hall as Elvis

Video of Nuttin’ but strings - America’s Got Talent 2008 - Violin goes a little bit ghetto, but I really like it. I’m excited to see what else they bring.

Video of Holly Hardin - “These Boots are..” America’s Got Talent 2008 - I liked Holly more than the judges. Sure, she’s not the most refined talent, but she’s got something about her that I really like and I’m glad that we’ll get to see more of her.

Video of The Southern Belles - America’s Got Talent 2008 - Bringing tap to another level. When you see something like this, it makes you realize that tap could be really cool if it was done right.
