britney's back!

so britney is copping some flack for lip syncing on her debut comeback concert in her home town of louisiana. give the girl a break!

she's happy, healthy and getting her life together! be grateful you got to see her - lipsync or not they'd be heaps of fans here in oz that would've loved to get to see her perform! ungrateful american's - so spoilt for choice you don't even appreciate what you get.
i love you brit - always have always will. i'm not obsessed. but i am proud you've claimed back your title as our pop princess.

OMG to the MAX

so trang leaves me random offline messages on my msn, they're usually links or comments to entertain me (and herself).
i couldn't get over the latest one she sent.
this 15 year old girl - Charice Pempengco from the phillipines has the voice of a divine angel. truly talented this gift is something that she is born with, it can't be manufactured or synthesized.
these performances gave me endless chills. it puts me on the verge of tears that she is so humble about her talent, not an ounce of arrogance. it's so admirable to see the younger generation that isn't all about the bling, the money or the fame. she's just doing what she loves.

but charice - now 16, has more to her than just a beautiful spine tingling voice. a special interview with oprah shows us the courage, strength and determination that charice has. i am truely smitten by this young girl, so may be 16 in age, but she is so much more mature than many of us "adults" are.

1000 stars

i love most types of music - and i'm a big fan of versatile albums i don't want every song i listen to sound the same - i do get bored easily... although my main genre of preference is r&b i'm always an easy listener when it comes to popular music - i love the countdowns and perhaps my popular roots are due to my years and years of being spice girl baby :]

the past few days i'm really loving natalie bassingthwaighte's current album, 1000 stars. such easy listening and there are some catchy feel good songs. i give it a thumbs up!
one of my favorite on-repeat songs is someday soon - you might've heard it on the radio, it's got that pop, dance, loving life vibe that i love to pump super loud whilst i'm cruising 'round in Sasha.
try youtubing or streaming her album - you might be surprised.

the final two

as ABDC comes to a close this weeks episode was AMAZING!
hearts were left on the stage, standing ovations given and tears flowed as the final two were announced.

in this weeks challenge the crews had to incorporate five major hip-hop dance styles into their longest routine ever. from tutting, waving, krumping, housing and threading, all crews would perform to the same music master mix.
this is the hip hop decathlon challenge.

BEAT FREAKS
voted this weeks number one crew the ladies of beat freaks made it into the finale show! and rightly so! i want these ladies to take it homeeeeee. this week wasn't their best performance but i'm hoping those who have been watching from the start know how consistent these ladies have been.


QUEST CREW
these boys have been on, and then off this season. they've had the memorable and the not so memorable. after being told by the judges to step it up in the last few weeks, these boys came out, ripped their hearts from their chest and left it pounding on center stage. this was their sickest performance yet, the boys of Quest are in it to win it.


FLY KHICKS
the underdogs of the season these ladies have been underestimated each week, but have perservered into the top three. this week was a challenge none the less, and unfortunately the ladies were outperformed. they held their heads (and their sneakers) high as their banner fell and they exited the show.



so the final two have been announced!
next week BEAT FREAKS and QUEST CREW will head into a do or die finale to determine who will be
AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW.
it can only be one crew... so who will you chose? voting is still open until March 5th, and yes, I AM VOTING (even though i'm an aussie).
you can vote here too!
the final two crews laid it out on the stage, in their last chance challenge. they created all original routines, from the music to the moves to the costumes.

Beat Freaks "Freak the Dream"


Quest Crew "Or-Quest-ra"



this finale is a close one, and i love the boys from Quest and what they bring to the stage but GODAMMIT it's time the ladies were given to R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
bring it home for the ladies and vote BEAT FREAKS!
