Long rehearsals got the best of S1's Shay Dot this morning -- here he is dozing while two of the Jazmin sisters pose for the shot.

MTV's Top Pop Group was poppin' at last night's show taping. While some groups soared to new heights, others fell flat. I can't give too much away, but let's just say that the judges seriously let it rip this week!

Backstage the air was positively buzzing as the artists darted around for hair touchups, bathroom breaks, group hugs and prayer circles to kick off what was to be a rollercoaster of a night.

Tune in Thursday night at 10pm to see the judges s-p-e-l-l it out.

The groups got a bit nervous this week as they watched their BFFN (Best Friends For Now), 3 Daze, unexpectedly pack up their dreams and board Top Pop Group's Elimination Express. "It's anyone's game" Las Caprice's Talita said to me as she rushed to get her make up fixed for today's photo shoot. "I just don't know what America wants right now. The scene is changing so much." And it's true. Pop music has been reinventing itself silly these past few years. Unlike other eras, there isn't one dominant sound.

MTV's Top Pop Group is doing it's best to define pop stardom today, but the question still remains: Is it the singing? Is it the dancing? The cute butts? Having faced elimination at the hands of the voters, the East Coast boys of NJ5ive put it like this: "I mean... we get a lot of feedback from the judges, but the most important thing right now is what the voters are looking for."

So, what are you looking for, America?

A show like MTV's Top Pop Group doesn't get serious until one of the groups is kicked off -- so let it be noted that this competition is officially on, mo-fo's! With the departure of LS3 last week, each and every group realizes that on any given Thursday night they may be sent packing as well.

In no particular order, here's what the groups are rehearsing round the clock to seal your vote this week:

Concrete Rose: "American Boy" by Estelle
Las Caprice: "Break The Ice" by Britney Spears
Jazmin: "Pocket Full Of Sunshine" by Nathasha Bedingfield
3 Daze: "Tattoo" by Jordin Sparks
S1: "Got Money" by Lil' Wayne
NJ5ive: "Sexy Can I" by Ray J
Ju-Tuan: "Closer" by Ne-Yo
Mosaic: "Makes Me Wonder" by Maroon 5

Which group are you looking forward to watching?

No one ever said becoming MTV's Top Pop Group would be an easy feat. Each group is quickly learning the hard way that singing and dancing all day long is no walk in the park -- it's more like running a marathon around the city.
