'America's Best Dance Crew' - Week 1 performances

Phresh Select

Phresh Select

Performance: The Philadelphia crew lived up to their words that "hip hop is a celebration of life" with their performance of Boyz II Men's "Motownphilly" on the "America's Best Dance Crew 2" season premiere.

Judges: Shane Sparks said, "That was hot, fellas," and noted that Virgil "Lil-O" Gadson's headslide-bridge-roll over his team was "perfection." JC Chasez said he liked Phresh Select's moves, their positive message and the work they're doing at schools in the Philly community. Lil Mama memorably observed that "the bottom five should have been the top five."

Staying power: If Phresh Select hangs tough and nails it over the course of the next six episodes we think they will be in the top three.

Members: Jay "Rukkus" Jao, 23; Virgil "Lil-O" Gadson, 21; Jon "Poppin Jon" Bulack, 22; Lor "Blao" Song, 20; Andrew "Riot" Ramsey, 27, Pennsauken, N.J.; Mark "Smart Mark" Boston Jr., 22.
