8:05 this is an amazing opening number! i love the stage. i love the song. i love npk. "don't touch that dial because it's been a while since it's been in style" SO TRUE.
8:14 haha. i love the glasses, funny faces, and the eye patch. that's why these ladies were nominated.
8:15 really!?!! kristen chenoweth! she's so tiny, yet so happy! yay galinda! dude. she looks so young still. she should be galinda in the wicked movie. they need to get on that NOW.
8:35 you go, justin! adding emmy- winner to his resume.
8:57 dance number to introduce the reality genre. quest crew! <3
okay. jonas and abdc time.
10:04 So, if Hugh Jackman's opening song from the Oscars won an emmy, will Neil's song from this year's Emmys win next year? He beat Justin's Espys song and "Mother Lover!"

TCA09
I liked the opening. Yes Joe, you are cute.
Jonas Brothers opened with Much Better. Last year, Miley opened up with 7 Things. Next year, Taylor can open with Forever and Always, or someone else can open with a song about a celebrity ex.
But I love that it felt like a true Jonas performance because all of the audience shots were of fans, not celebrities.
No more Do Something award on the show? Lame. That was at least one point of substance to look foward to.
Seriously? A Twitter award? At least Ellen won and was funny.
You can tell who the winners are because they're in attendance. So, the presentation is purely for publicity purposes.
Sean Kingston with Quest Crew in the background! I adore Miley's new song. But the trailer and the pole? What are you trying to come off as, girl? You're still only 16.
I read about Dane Cook's joke about Vanessa Hudgens. Comedy.
DARE THE JONAS BROTHERS:
I was in shock as they cut Joe's hair. It was a wig or something right? His hair was still normal at the concert.
Kevin's tatoo. Cool, but totally washable.
Nick had to hug girls. Oh, no. How could he bear it?
I didn't even realize the blonde was Kim Kardashian.
I liked George Lopez's dare: wear baggy clothes.
Saw Kevin McHale with the cast of Glee. Oh, NLT, how I miss thee.
Ugh. Britney.
JB won 5! +1 for little Frankie.
Twilight won 11 out of 12!
& Jackson Rathbone was there!!!!
The entire cast was so lovely on stage.
But hello!!!!!!!!! Fox edited their acceptance speech. Something was cut off.
The show ended with Jonas Brothers performing World War III.
It was a good production this year =]

ABDC Season 4
I think 5 months is a short interim between seasons, but I'm glad season 4 starts before school.
1iota didn't collect our privacy contracts at the beginning of the show (and I didn't feel like handing it in on my way out). Therefore, I am not completely legally disinclined to post spoilers. However, I shall not. I will update on Monday after the show has aired.
I can't talk about the show, but I can talk about what wasn't on the show.
3pm - We arrived at the parking garage. There were a lot of people--way more than any episode last season. Luckily, homies from Long Beach were near the front!
4:30pm - Check-In begins. Note: if you confirm tickets the day before the show, you might not make it on their list. It's what happened to me! But we had extras all around, so I avoided drama.
Black wristbands with happy faces.
Cross the street.
Security check. They didn't even look inside my bag.
They only had regular Rockstar. I wish they had water bottles.
Wait in outdoor line.
They played the season 3 finale on the tv, but the volume was low, and they only played it twice.
Green wristbands in first.
Yellow wristbands for friends & family second.
Saw Aubrey Storm.
6:30pm - Migration from line to stage.
New stage farther into the lot. [Location wise, not appearance]
Ran into B-Girl Shorty from Beat Freaks.
They handed out tickets way over capacity. I doubt everyone made it inside, and many who did make it inside probably got turned away.
Tip: If you have a large group, get there early if you all want to be seated together!
7pm - Almost ready to start. Napoleon & Tabitha hype up the crowd.
5/7 Quest Crew - Victor, Hok, Brian, Steve, Ryan, and 2/7 Beat Freaks - Rino and Shorty in attendance.
Napoleon got them to dance on the stage.
Victor. freestyle.
Rino. freestyle.
Victor and Rino wore the same t-shirt. They did a little somethin somethin.
Steve. flips.
Hok. tutting.
Shorty. bgirl. headspins.
No more DJ Rashida. A wise budget cut.
We were seated stage left, non camera section. I was fine with it because we were near the aisle, and I would be able to shake hands with the judges. But on this stage, the judges came out from the other side! Total waste.
I wasn't feeling Lil Mama's ensemble. I kind of miss the hats.
Layla is pregnant!
7:30pm - Taping. 9 crews. 8 acts.
Someone screamed "JC, I loved you since 'Tearin Up My Heart!"
Francia Raisa was in attendance. Again.
10pm- Taping ends.
World Hip Hop Champions Sugar and Spice perform for us.
Our bleacher is last to leave because they need to re-film the banners.
Usually, when there are celebrities or alum dancers, they book it as soon as the taping ends.
Not Quest.
They chilled at their bleacher. Everyone had to pass it in order to exit, and they said what's up to every single person that passed them.
My brother and I decided to greet them too. We went up their bleacher. LOL. I got photos! I was too scared to bust out my camera since the 1iota people would see, so we just used my brother's Sidekick.
Caught up with the fam at the corner.
I was parched and starving after. We went to In-N-Out on Ventura. It's smaller than most.
11:30pm - Head home.

ABDC Finale
When Quest Crew made the ABDC finals, I was so proud! I could not wait to go to the finale. Out of the blue, V Factory decides to have a show at SIR studios the same night as the finale! I was TORN, but I had stuck with Quest the entire season, and I couldn't miss the opportunity to see them WIN. Plus, I knew there would be other V Factory shows.
Our ABDC family decided to rock purple to support Quest. We didn't have to sign a confidentiality waiver since it was a live show, and they were lenient about cameras. Layla greeted the audience before the show, and the boys got pictures with her.
I totally loved how the show went by QUICKLY. There were no long waits between acts, and there were no pick ups to be done after.
I was bummed Beat Freaks and Boxcuttahz got to dance in the same group-- I wanted Quest to dance with them too! But MAN! The Quest-Strikers-Dynamic routine was BOMB! It was definitely my favorite of the three group dances.
Finally, it was time to announce the winning crew.
Dim the lights,
cue the heart-pounding music,
and go Mario with the unhelpful summarizing dialog.
I was nervous. I thought, "Okay fine. Beat Freaks won. Just SAY it already!"
But then, Mario said, "QUEST CREW."
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
We were all so happy! Go Quest! There was confetti, and they revealed the championship banner.
As we were clearing out of the studio, Joe got pictures with Matt and Cara of Fanny Pak (Season 2). The judges were doing post-interviews on stage, so there was no way I could meet JC. I did see Mario Lopez. I asked for a picture, and he said yes! He was a little under the weather--what a trooper.
America's Best Dance Crew: Season 3 = SUCCESS
And to top it off, we got camera time =] Boo-yah!

ABDC
I went to the first taping on January 12th. I was really excited, but then I found out JC wasn't going to be there because he was filming a movie =[ but Kid Rainen was subbing, and the Jabbawockeez were all in attendance.
The taping was pretty straight through. There were 4 crews from the west, holla! 9 crews,3 hours of filming,plus another 3 hours of waiting in line.
The audience wave thing we did was so sick! Everyone was participating, and it looked so cool as it went around the room. The stage manager noticed and asked us to do it really fast. Then really slow. And then half and half. It's something you need to see.
I got tickets for last week, while neither my brother nor any other male friends were as fortunate. Yet, I declined them. It's okay. It was Britney night anyway. But I also got tickets for last night's taping. I figure if they give it every other week, I would get tickets for top 4 and then the finale. I can only hope.
Last night's taping took forever! Maybe I just wasn't as excited as the first show, even though now I got to see JC. They did more pick ups and took longer between acts. SoReal Cru was there and performed. I had my awesome neon green Quest<3 sign. I was so nervous when that guy climbed up the stage. It took the incident at the VMAs a while back to another level.
