User Reviews

Music back on MTV - HIP HOP HOORAY

This casting call premiere was excellent! If the whole series is half as good, this will be the new Dancing with the Stars. The judges are fair and direct, but respectful. The viewer is informed about the techniques involved in this art form. The host Mario Lopez is,as always, enjoyable and very comfortable in this arena.The "crews" competing are from a wide variety of looks and styles. In particular the mid-west representation of Indiana Rollerskating "Guys" and adorable Fem Five stand out from the more urban streetwise competition. Last, but not least, The MUSIC. Yes , music on MTV. My neighbors will definitely know when this show is on. Overall , I enjoyed it and look forward to "tuning" in every week.
