The M&M Cru vs. ACDC Battle Is Over

Yes. I’m two days late with this - but I don’t have cable and DVDs are a hell of a drug. Monday night at the Teen Choice Awards (hosted by Miley Cyrus natch), the M&M Cru had their live onstage battle with the Adam/Chu Dance Crew. See for yourself.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

According to the Applause-O-Meter, The M&M Cru won. It figures that a million jumpy tweeny girls would pick the most popular tweeny girl in the country. That’s all fine and good; it is the Teen Choice Awards afterall.

The thing is, Miley can’t dance (I mentioned that on Saturday), and it shows. She was outclassed from the get go. I mean, bringing LL Cool J to a dance battle, is a bit like eating noodles with a knife - a desperate attempt at best. Is Miley even old enough to remember LL’s hits? And - the Rerun dance? Come on, nothing is more played out and cliche than poppin’ and lockin’. What is this, Breakin? I think Miley treated this whole thing like a joke because she knew the endgame from the onset. Was there ever really a chance that she was going to lose? Starpower wins every time.

Of course, no one used starpower quite like the ACDC. Throughout the course of the battles, the ACDC employed dozens of members, the Jabbawockez crew, Chris Brown, LiLo, and even an invalid Adam Sandler! Still, they came to this party with their game faces on and walked away empty handed. There is some internet chatter saying that the ACDC recycles all their choreography. Perhaps that was the problem. I did my own visual research, and while it is true - ACDC still has better moves.

Lastly, why did they chose Fergie as the impartial moderator? Could they have found someone less qualified? Miley’s dance skills suck, but Fergie… chickenhead can. not. dance. at. all. That hip wiggle thing does not count.

The Bottom Line: ACDC got robbed!

FNMTV - Zooey Deschanel and Doppelganger Fail to Impress

FNMTV is back like cooked crack. Unfortunately for the 2 of you that got that reference, Juelz Santana is nowhere to be found. Once again scraping the bottom of the barrel, I bring you MTV’s newest video premieres in “quickie” review style.

LL Cool J - Baby
Mr. Smith brings the ennui with a vocoder chorus, weak rhymes, terrible attempts at dancing, graphic Ts, and endorsements of drunk driving.

She and Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward spin us a macabre acid trip with a subdued soundtrack. She gets axed a few times, there are some sort of Pacman-esque ghosts, and then I’m not sure what happens. It sort of kills me to watch this since Zooey is capable of so much better.

Daughtry - What About Now: 90 Second Preview
Is this supposed to be a PSA or a reimagining of Van Halen’s Right Now? Either way, it’s so boring that even MTV could only stomach 90 seconds of it.

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl (Live)
Zooey Deschanel doppelganger hops around in a short floral print jumper singing her crappy song. Nothing to see here folks. Seriously.
