Fannie Pak, my favorite crew on America’s Best Dance Crew was eliminated… and the world also stop spinning.
WHAT THE $%@#^?!?!?!?!?
Okay, I understand that in the beginning, Fannie Pak was not the most popular group, but as time went on, they proved to the world that they were completely AwEsOmE and totally deserved their spot on the show. Tonight, they gave two performances: 1) a compilation of popular 80’s songs and dance moves (including Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby) and 2) a dance centered around the movie, Flash Dance (the song? “She’s a Maniac). The first dance was sweet, but the second dance was amazing!!!
Out of the three groups, Fannie Pak captured the essence of the movie they were assigned. They collaborated the audition scene with the show itself. It had so much energy and creativity and you could tell that they had actually seen the movie they were assigned.
SoRealCru did the broom scene from Breakin’. The brooms weren’t too great, but the mirrors in their dance was pretty wicked. Then, Super Cr3w did a dance to the song Footloose from the movie… um, Footloose. It was okay, JUST okay. It was near way as good as the other dances they have done, and no way NEAR as good as Fannie Pak.
I love all three crews, but to be honest, I didn’t think that SoRealCru should have gotten into the finale. Their performance last week wasn’t all that hot. I think that they hit their prime in the middle of the season, and they been going a little downhill from there (however, the marching band dance was sweet). I thought it was going to be Fannie Pak and Super (is it Supah??) Cr3w in the finale; but it wasn’t
…
I was thinking about it. I think they allowed Super Cr3w to go on because they are more marketable. Fannie Pak is kinda in a world of its own (a pretty awesome world). They’re kinda hard to translate into the modern marketplace. Super Cr3w, however, is easier to advertise.
When the Jabba Wokees won last year, I didn’t think that anyone could come close to their skill. But Fannie Pak did… with their creativity!!! Not only could they dance, they could PUT ON A SHOW!!!
What really makes me feel bad, is that I got my mom addicted to that show, and she NEVER watches reality tv. Being as she was a part of the 80’s generation, she loved Fannie Pak as soon as she saw them. It’s like… she took a chance on a new genre and it let her down… pity…
Well, here’s to you Fannie Pak:
At least you get another chance to flash the fannies in the finale.
UPDATE: Okay, did a little more thinking about the issue. While I do feel the same way, I have come to another realization. The following is a part of an answer I posted for Yahoo! Answers:
“…ALSO!!! I saw that they did this thing where they were revealing those who got the most votes in the season (I think that’s how So Real Cru got into the finale). Fannie Pak was in the bottom two a lot this season (and [almost] everytime they fought their way back to the top). They probably didn’t have enough cumulative votes for the entire season, which could have led to them being sent home.”
