Lil Mama Keeps it Poppin

Following up to the successful flop of her debut album, its good to see that Lil Mama already had a backup- plan in play with season two of America's Best Dance Crew. Not like we have not seen this formula before, there are auditions, contestants, judges and a corny host. Despite Lil Mama struggling in her own musical career, her role on the show has shown her in a very different light, one of intelligence, candor and a great sense of humor. Regardless of you may or may not feel about her music, which is definitely worth a listen or two, she really comes through as a judge for this show and was smart enough to make sure the was a secondary source of income besides album sales.

Joining Lil Mama on the show are industry Veterans JC Chasez, Shane Sparks, and Mario Lopez. If you said "who" to all of those names, then first come out of the bubble you have been living in for the last 10 years and then take comfort in knowing the American Idol Judge Randy Jackson is responsible for this very entertaining competition, hence the very familiar format.

Season 2 of America's Best Dance Crew, debuts on MTV Thursday June 19th. Check your local listing for exact times. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how entertaining Lil Mama is as well as the show itself.
