Exclusive Interview with Randy Jackson

Blogging America's Best Dance Crew field reporters Brooke and Rebecca spoke with ABDC Executive Producer Randy Jackson at the L.A. auditions. Here's his take on the show and Season 3.

How will Season 3 differ from previous seasons?
"I'm not going to give away all the surprises. I can tell you that there will be more guest stars and more crew interactions."

What inspired you to start a hip hop dance competition?
"I wanted to bring the culture of dance crews off the streets. They have a lot of passion. This type of dancing has been around many many years down south, in Louisiana. The kids would create the crews in the street and have dance offs, like in "West Side Story" and "Footloose." I wanted to give them support."
