CONTEST: Predict the ABDC5 'Top 9'

Who will compete on America's Best Dance Crew Season 5?  We don't know, and but we want to know what you think.  So, here's a contest to let you 'cast' which of the crews you think should make it to ABDC5 Top 9. The top 9 are the crews that get through the 3 regional audition shows to be aired Jan. 28-Feb. 11,  and compete on February 18 in the first 'national' show.  Prize: Tshirt from the T-Mobile tour autographed by Quest and major bragging rights. RULES:

  • Pick up to 9 crews from our list of auditioners (below). To have a better chance, pick 3 from each region, since we believe that is how MTV will do it.  The regions are: South (Atlanta, Houston), West (Denver, Los Angeles), East (Boston, New York)
  • Leave a comment with your picks ON THIS POST (comments at any other post will NOT be counted) with your picks. 
  • In the comments, you HAVE to leave a user name (not just GUEST), and please make it as distinctive as possible (not just your first name). I can no longer track commenters' email addresses, so I will need a good commenter name to track you and announce a winner. 
  • You can enter once a week.
  • Please don't enter if you work for MTV or have other MAJOR inside info!
  • Contest ends as soon as MTV announces the names of ANY crews competing for the top 15 or on any of the live regional shows. 
  • The winner will be announced on this site once the 3 live audition shows end.  Since I cannot contact you by email (I have no access to your email addresses), you will have to come here to find out if you won
Here's the list auditioning crews that we know about. If you know about other ABDC5 auditioners,  leave a comment and we'll try to add them to the list. Any crews not on the list WILL NOT be counted even if they make the top 9! Note: the crews listed in gray have publicly announced that they are not in the running for Top 9.
