It was about a new generation’s ACDC, the Adam Chu Dance Crew named for its leaders Adam Sevani and Jon Chu. Once again, I have pulled the ol’ bait and swizzy by getting (at least some of) your hopes up with this title. Maybe you all should have chosen differently in 1995 when you had the choice between pink, purple, and blue and voted blue in by a landslide (54% of 10 million votes). As I was saying, this M&M is not melting in your mouth or hands; it’s the M&M Cru, named for its founders Miley Cyrus and Mandy Jiroux.

Unfortunately, I never caught this teaser or the friendly reminder one week ago so I’m a couple days late (but I’m still in there before the millionth viewer). I guess it’s possible I’m not in the online dance-off’s target audience as a 26 year old guy. Either way, I was glad to see the response—even though I don’t think it comes close to the previous ACDC video—and to know that the battle isn’t over. (You need to watch until the end to see that the final round will be in-person. Details TBD.)

I have to admit (to those who don’t know already), I’m a huge fan of You Got Served and specifically David and Elgin’s crew. So you can imagine my excitement when I caught a tweet from @andrewbaron about a Dance Battle between Miley Cyrus and Jon Chu (director of Step Up: The Streets). Apparently Jon and Adam Sevani (main actor in the movie) called out Miley and Mandy (aka M&M) a couple weeks back on their video blog. M&M responded with a strong number to Madonna and JT’s 4 Minutes. Now it was on ACDC (Adam and Jon’s crew), and they took it to the next level with the help of Lindsay Lohan, Adam Sandler, Amanda Bynes and Chris Brown as well as MTV’s Best Dance Crew, JabbaWockeez.

I hope you enjoy. I know Michael K. will he enjoys dance battles as much as I do. And P.S. I want to trade places with Rob Hoffman. P.P.S. That’s Dellicious with two l’s. You have to accentuate the ‘l’.
