After writing my sour review of Dance War last week, I was concerned that I would upset a lot of my readers by being so critical. I actually held back a lot of my negativity about the show because of that, believe it or not.
But even though there haven’t been a ton of people voting in the poll, the ones that have voted seem very clear in their opinion that, at best, the show is mediocre. And if you look, you’ll see that the majority of the votes are from people who just don’t like the show.
Then, I went and checked out what my fellow b5media blogger, Gray Miller had to say. I instantly felt better. He wrote on his blog, Fame or Famine Performing Arts Blog, that:
The girls performance (why is it that all the girls had to perform together?) seemed to be a bunch of waving arms – again, not a lot of artistry here, just a lot of bump-grind-pump to go with the waving arms. I also found myself wondering how many of them had done this kind of dance in heels.
The process really seems tremendously padded to just enable more commercials. I really didn’t agree with Bruno’s evaluation of the vocal talents – especially the second group. I was amazed at how many wrong notes there were.
I have also looked around at the other reviewers on the ‘net and found that none of them like the show any better than I do. I know this show is very popular in Europe, but I just don’t think it’s going to make it here. And if it does, it’s just sad.
But, hey, I did promise to try to be positive, so I will hope that this week’s episode will be better. Or at least not totally suck. 
But now, I have my TiVo season pass set to watch Girlicious and America’s Best Dance Crew. I just have a feeling that they will not disappoint. As a former “dancer” and a reality TV fanatic, I am so looking forward to quality dance shows again…

This show is lame. Really really bad. Sort of like a low-rent American Idol. Yet I watch. WRITERS COME BACK!
Tonight I witnessed a spectacle most Orwellian. Bruno was absolutely gleeful in his pronouncement that Lacey (and the two white chicks, hmm, I forgot their names) did a phenomenal job singing Aretha’s “Think”? I felt like I was strapped to some kind of torture device and a guy with a Hitler mustache was turning the handle and screaming at me to admit that two plus two is three.
The show would have been successful however, the choice of contestants lack the total package of talent. Most can dance but cannot sing. There are too many of them who cannot carry a tune which sounds bad that damaged the show.
