Non-Spoiler Reports from the ABDC5 taping

Several readers attended last night's taping of the premiere episode of America's Best Dance Crew Season 5. Thanks for writing in about it! Here are excerpts from their comments; click here and go to the comments to read their full spoiler-free reports, including their analyses of each of the five crews: 

Kyle: I went to the first ep. taping of last season as well, and I have to say I definitely think this season will be a step up from last (season 4 was just alright to me). DJ Rashida isnt back, but they do have an in house DJ named Mia?... Although none of the crews really stood out to me too much (like Quest, BF, VE, FP, RC...) the season is definitely up to a good start.

Crush Girl: The talent from the South was far higher than what i had originally expected! The energy that the crews brought was out of here! All crews brought the talent and swagger...The battle at the end between the bottom 3 crews was amazing! one you have to see. Overall I was happy about the three that made it... Teresa from Beat Freaks and Hiro from WAH got up on stage and danced it out...Omarion did a pretty good job as a judge, considering it was his first time. The crowd played well with him as the new judge.

Guest: all i gotta say is you wont be disappointed with who got picked... The bottom 3 battle was dope one crew out shined the other 2 though.Like 3 of the beat freaks were there and we are heroes were there randy jackson came out during one of the breaks and it was Layla's birthday.Omarian is an alright judge. This is the first time i don't think a winner will come from the west.

Mecir:  started really with the first crew up cool moves and new tricks thats what people wanna see new tricks made into their own style i didn't fully agree with the first two picks but man the crew that got the final spot to represent the region killed it an amazing performance all the crews that made it into the show deserved it....
