Jabbawockeez suing manager for raising his ownership stake from 1% to 52%!

From Courthouse News comes a bizarre story: "Jabbawockeez sued Fred Nguyen (their manager) and his company FDN Holdings, claiming he sneakily increased his ownership of the group from 1 percent to 52 percent...The plaintiffs' attorney Joseph Ganley in an interview: "We believe Nguyen was able to increase his commission by manipulating the business's articles of incorporation." Ganley said Nguyen secretly and gradually increased his commissions over 10 years, the largest increase in the past three years. Ganley said Nguyen is still the group's manager but the Jabbawockeez want to stop him from taking more than he should."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JACKSON!

Happy Birthday to the one and only King of Pop, Michael Jackson!  He would have turned 55 years old today... People all around the world are celebrating- playing his music and replicating the moves he made so famous.  Check out the cast of Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil as they party it up to the classic hit, "Wanna Be Startin' Something".  And for more Michael flavor, check below for my review for the Cirque Du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE show now playing in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay.  From cirquedusoleil YouTube.

Review: Michael Jackson ONE (Cirque Du Soleil)

As a person who has seen A LOT of Michael Jackson tribute shows, trust me when I say that Michael Jackson ONE is truly the best.  Without a doubt, it is the closest feeling to attending an actual MJ concert ever since the King's passing.  Everyone would absolutely love it - from the casual fan to the most hardcore, glove-wearing, devotee.  Dancers, and fans of dance, would especially enjoy that it's very dance-intensive.  And why wouldn't it be?  It was choreographed by Michael's choreographer, Travis Payne- along with Rich & Tone Talauega, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Olivier Simola, Ben Potvin, Adrea Ziegler, Ivan 'Flipz' Velez (Groovaloos), and the one and only, Parris Goebel (ReQuest Dance Crew, Royal Family).  Also, featured in the show are dancers from ABDC 6's 787 Crew (Puerto Rico) and ReQuest Dance Crew (New Zealand).  Michael's original music was brilliantly remixed and remastered by musical director, Kevin Antunes, and perfectly suited the enchanting story that only Cirque Du Soleil can tell.  And 'enchanting' is certainly the word that best describes this show.  Even as I type up this review, it's a struggle trying to remember everything that happened because I was so captivated and entralled.

JC Chasez interview: No -- NSYNC will not do a concert together

Despite the accolades that NSYNC received for their appearance on MTV's VMAs, the boy group is not planning to go on the road. In an interview in USA Today, NSYNC member (and ABDC judge) JC Chasez said: "Justin gave me a buzz and he said, 'Hey man, listen. I'm getting this award and they have given me a pile of time to perform and we started our careers at MTV and I think we should get the band back together.' "  But it was a one-time event, according to the article.


 Not the least of the issues -- the guys had trouble doing their signature dance moves: 'When it came to practicing their moves from 11 years ago, "everyone was going, 'Can we go through this one more time slowly?' … So that part was pretty funny.'

The Royal Family: Defend the Throne

By now, many of us know how this story ends.  New Zealand's Royal Family successfully achieved their goal in defending their Gold medal championships.  But as Big Poppa says, "There's no win if there's no work"- and these guys certainly put in the work.  As someone who attended HHI, I can attest there is no other crew that carry themselves the way The Royal Family does at Worlds.  You can tell that their work ethic is second to none and that's why they're the champions.  Check out this amazing journey from hip-hop dance's royalty, The Royal Family as they 'Defend the Throne'.  From Thepalacedancestudio YouTube. --

FLIP (Canada) Gold Medal Performance at HHI '13

I've been a fan of these girls ever since I saw them at last year's HHI (Silver Medal).  Then I saw them earlier in the year when they performed (and won) with the All.Young.All.Stars at WoD Montreal.  With the intensity and passion these girls perform with, I knew they were bound to get Gold soon.  Well, 'soon' quickly became 'now' as they led the Junior Division with this performance.
