Dance Show Smackdown - ABDC vs. SYTYCD vs. Dancing with the Stars

Buddy TV did their analysis on which dance show you should watch - America's Best Dance Crew, So You Think You Can Dance or Dancing with the Stars. The section specifically on America's Best Dance Crew:

"Why You Should Watch America's Best Dance Crew:

  • The groups aren't just great dancers, they're great choreographers.
  • Some of the tricks you see on the stage will make you question if gravity applies to everyone. Or if every person has the same number of bones.
  • This is real, hard-hitting hip hop, no lyrical, half contemporary choreography in sight.
  • No trio of dance judges are more fun or honest. They have no problem picking favorites, being brutally honest, or frustrating censors with foul mouths.
  • Three words folks: tranny dance crew.
Why You Should Watch SYTYCD or Dancing with the Stars Instead:
  • You love ballroom, contemporary, or any style besides breaking, step, or hip-hop.
  • Because you were always more of a Zack Morris type of girl. (Sorry, Slater)
  • You like some illusion of objectivity from the judges. Shane Sparks has openly said he gets angry when a crew he wants to hate on doesn't mess up.
  • Grown women with a penchant for dressing like infants freak you out.
  • You hate that "rap music" and if it doesn't involve special shoes, you don't think it's a legitimate dance style."
