Reports from ABDC5 West Coast audition tapings

Several readers attended America's Best Dance Crew's West Coast Audition show taping and left comments. The comments have been scrubbed (both by the original commenters and by me) of spoilers. Here are some spoiler-free reports and reviews:

Czar2010!: "imo it's the best Regional Show!!! I liked three crews in general and those were the three that made the show. The battle was so intense! The crowd went crazy when the second crew threw it down!(in the battle) I got up from my seat when they were battling, this crew really was prepared and gave it their all. I even saw JC and Lil Mama's reaction during this crews battle and their reaction was like if they were slapped in the face! I swear, this crew is really dope. So ABDC keeps on getting better and better every week!....ABDC alumni that attended: We Are Heroes and Teresa from Beat Freaks. . This week for the very first time in ABDC,  they had the six crews that made the show on the audience! They had the South on one side and the East on the other side(they all got to see their opponents from the West! it was very exciting to see them all there)."

Crush!: "Some of the crews that were on the show were awesome and definitely deserved to be there, but some, not so sure.. I thought that the West was going to be the best region so far, but it wasnt imho..I'mn was pretty satisfied with the crews that made it, except the second crew that was saved. Another crew should have been saved instead of them. The battle i have to admit was the best yet. I couldnt tell who of two crews were gonna make it past the regionals. They were both good. The other crew was ok in the battle. I have a feeling some of you guys will be satisfied with the results and some shocked!"

Kyle: "went to the taping tonight, thought it was pretty good :). First crew was hype 5-0 and I definitely loved their energy.. The crew came out with traditional hawaiian wear at first, and i thought it would be pretty cheesy but it went into straight up hip hop which was really cool. Heavy Impact were very interesting... surprised such big guys can be so light on their feet, and even perform a few flips. The crowd went wild when they flashed their bodies haha...Blended projekt was the biggest crew ever on abdc, but also featured the youngest members, three 16 year olds. You could tell from their clogging performance that they were young and sweet, and lacked the "hardness" other crews had. BreakFX was another crew that seemed pretty young, a very stunt-heavy performance...Poreotix were the favorites of the night before they even performed, and the crowd went wild during their Taylor Swift performance. They utilized plenty of glitter during the performance, yes glitter. and they had a great sense of humor, even while being critiqued...The first crew saved was a good choice, but I was pretty disappointed with the second...The battle pretty was intense.. it was really good. The 3 crews that battled all wanted it really bad, and I'm very happy with the one who was saved."
