Status Quo is still in the game.

March 16, 2008

I’m so pumped. My boys are STILL on the show. Suspicions are going around that it’s LilMama’s ties to Boston that have kept SQ from getting kicked off. Apparently her choreographer is from Boston? Who knows.

Their dance last Thursday was super cute.

Blatant Dunkin product placement, anyone? Hometown hero # 2?


P.Diddy Needs You! Or me?

February 15, 2008

I have found my calling. All my hard work has led me to this defining moment. I know what I want in life.

I am going to audition to be Sean P. Diddy Combs’ personal slave.

Boston Globe

According to the Boston Globe, he’s having “try outs” this Saturday at Rain in Malden, MA. At 11am!

I can only imagine what this is going to be like. Who can party the hardest with Diddy at 11am?! WOOOOOOOO!

I hope he turns this into some sort of TV thing, and then pretends it was actually taped until six in da mornin’.

Anyyyyhow. I think I might pass on this incredible opportunity. But I WILL tell you that I absolutely would audition to be Jamal’s personal assistant. The dancer dude from Status Quo? I will bring him water and try to learn his mad awesome moves from the sidelines.

He accepted my friend request on Facebook! That means we’re at least half way to true friendship.


Boston’s “Status Quo” competes on MTV show

February 10, 2008

As an avid dance enthusiast–or at least an avid observer. My step ball changes are somewhat lethal–I pretty much become glued to any TV show that lets “average people” show off their skills, win the hearts of the public, win the competition and live happy ever after. Aww. Well, my new obsession is MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew. And we have a local group competing!

Dorchester's

They’re called Status Quo, with members from Boston and Dorchester. The show premiered on Feb 7th (after hosting a series of auditions, where judges traveled to different parts of the country to find the groups to compete in the show.) Status Quo is one of the more acrobatic groups with a ton of personality, so represent your boys!

And check out their performance on Feb 7th if you missed it. The jump? Um, hi. Are you human?

Edit: YouTube took off the last video. :(

This is from week 2. If they take this one off too, I PROMISE to put up week 3. Yes. I am that dedicated.

WAIT!

This is NOT the first TV appearance for some of these guys. E-Knock and Jamal of the group also auditioned on Season 3 of So You Think You Can Dance. I was also obsessed with this show when it aired this summer, but I had no idea that these two guys were from Boston when I saw them.

After Status Quo’s segment on MTV, I instantly recognized Jamal as the guy from SYTYCD with the funniest audition EVER. Seriously. And…Jamal is also is a Berklee student and a dance teacher!

Dear Jamal,
Will you teach me to dance? I want to be you.
Love,
RepCor

Anyhow, check out Jamal’s hilarious audition. It starts with E-Knock’s crazy-jumps-of-doom and then goes to Jamal’s turn. Keep watching. At about 3 minutes is the funny stuff. I love it.
