America's Best Dance Crew finale footage: Beat Freaks, Fly Khicks, Layla Kayleigh

5DTV highlights the ladies in their coverage of the America's Best Dance Crew Season 3 finale, interviewing Beat Freaks, Fly Khicks, and Layla Kayleigh. Highlight (for me): watching their interviewer show Fly Khicks his split (definitely better than the one done by Albert at Talk of Fame!)

A little more finale - Quest interview highlight video

All season long, Pacific Rim has been covering the serious and funny side of the America's Best Dance Crew crews. They just assembled a highlights video of their Quest interviews, answering questions about nationality, taste in girls, and other burning questions.

Lil Mama - I'd work with Chris Brown Again

Lil Mama spoke to MTV News about the allegations about Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna. In it, she takes a very cautious and measured approach, not wanting to pass judgment before all the details are revealed. The America's Best Dance Crew judge also says that she would definitely work with him again. "I would definitely record a song or work with Chris Brown at this very moment, I would. That's me."

Her message for Chris Brown and Rihanna: "I wish them both the best of luck. I wish them both all of the success in the world, which they deserve...As far as the way I feel about it, it's very confusing."

JabbaWockeeZ video -- interview, NKOTB rehearsals

TV Guide taped JabbaWockeeZ (America's Best Dance Crew Season 1 winners) during their rehearsals for the New Kids on the Block Tour. It says that they still wake up shocked at their success.

What it's like onstage after the America's Best Dance Crew Finale

I still have items to share from the America's Best Dance Crew finale, including photos and interview items with JC Chasez and Fanny Pak. But in the meantime, here's a clip showing how utterly crazy it is on the stage after the Finale as reporters angle to get interviews with ABDC crews and personalities. MTV does a superb job of managing the mob, but it's still one of the more zoo-ish situations around.

Upcoming Boxcuttuhz California Performances

Boxcuttuhz (from America's Best Dance Crew Season 3) is performing in California over the next two weeks: Thanks for the info, Lando!

Mailbox --Quest/Shane/Lil Kim Finale video, Lil Mama on Detox, JabbaWockeeZ show review

  • Lil Mama goes home again and finds...Jim Cantiello and Detox. Can you say 'eviction order'?
  • NewsOK reviews the New Kids on the Block show and briefly mentions JabbaWockeeZ 'electric' performance
  • Young Hollywood posts its video from the America's Best Dance Crew finale with interviews from Quest, Shane Sparks, and Lil Kim. One new Quest factoid for me: The first dance class that Ryan Feng ever took was taught by Beat Freak Rino

Poll: What were the best performances for Season 3?

I've taken all the reader comments on the best dances on Seasons 3 of America's Best Dance Crew and compiled them into a poll. Now, please vote in this poll to choose your top 10. Feel free to vote for multiple performances, as many as you want. NOTE: Quest week 5 should read GOT MONEY, not The Right Stuff (I can't change it without negating all the votes so far!)

I've limited the choices to the top 6 mentioned for each crew, so I apologize if I left off one of your favorites. Also, to refresh your memory, I've put the Week number in parentheses next to the performance - (1) Sudden Death, (2) Fit Test, (3) Britney Spears, (4) Whack Track, (5) Illusion (Magic), (6) Battle of the Sexes, (7) Hip Hop decathlon/Last Chance

In about a week, I'll post videos for the highest vote getters. In addition -- if they are not included in the final top 10, I'll also post the top group performance and the top performance by each Season 3 crew. So, vote right now, and vote right!

Exclusive Interview with Ringmasters at ABDC Finale

We talked to Ringmasters onstage after the finale of America's Best Dance Crew Season 3. They drop a hint about friendships/upcoming collaboration with Beat Freaks and Quest, their reputation for being nice, and their admiration for Michael Jackson. (As related content, MTV Remote Control reported that Ringmasters are staying with Beat Freaks as they prepare to move to Los Angeles and that Beat Freaks helped Ringmasters get an audition for Step Up 3).

Beat Freaks Reel -- Why they're the top ABDC Girl Crew

This Beat Freaks video showcases the crazy skills of each of the Beat Freaks. Let's hope that B Girl The Movie gets released soon and that Beat Freaks goes on national tour and shows us what made them the girls-to-beat on America's Best Dance Crew Season 3.

Contest winners - Congratulations Baby Boy and Jeff#1

The winners of the BloggingBestDanceCrew.com contests were:
  • Top 4 Challenge - Baby Boy was the first to get the finishing order of Quest - Beat Freaks - Fly Khicks - Strikers for America's Best Dance Crew Season 3. Though there were over 200 entries in the first 4 weeks, nobody got it right until he hit it in Week 5.
  • Elimination Challenge - There was a tie between Eddie (who went into this last week with a 1-point lead, but guessed Beat Freaks for the win) and Jeff #1. However, Jeff came closer to predicting the number of votes cast in the last week.
I'll contact both of you about your prizes. Congratulations!
