Congratulations to Quest Crew. They were my favorite since the beginning. Yes, I am biased since Quest Crew contained 3 members who had participated on So You Think You Can Dance. I loved them on SYTYCD and they were even better in their element (most of the time) on ABDC. This was a well deserved victory even if Beat Freaks was really great as well.

I saw this interesting post on the MTV forum that said:

Are they as good or better than Jabbawockeez? Maybe…but I don’t believe they have the same mystique and appeal as the Jabbawockeez. As good as the Jabbawockeez were in season 1 you have to admit that the masks were a major part of their appeal. It gives their performances an extra wow factor. They’ve already gotten Gatorade commercials, all kinds of public dance gigs, and even performed at the All Star Game in Phoenix with Shaq. I just don’t know that Quest will get the same kinds of endorsements. Super Crew certainly didn’t . I think if you took the masks off of Jabbawockeez, Quest may just be better.

I have to agree with them, but one thing that wasn’t mentioned is that the dancers on Quest crew will still have plenty of chances to dance and to teach dancing all over the country. They’ll be able to make a decent living dancing. However, the masks on JabbaWockeez was a unique marketing element.

Now we look to the future. I heard that Randy Jackson did say that there will be a fourth season of America’s Best Dance Crew. I’m just a little surprised that something wasn’t said about the fourth season on the show if that’s really the case. Maybe there’s probably going to be a fourth season, but they still haven’t worked out all the details.

Then, maybe the most important question is why they haven’t announced an ABDC 2009 tour yet. If someone finds out any information about an ABDC 2009 tour, then please let me know so I can post it for everyone to see.

America’s Best Dance Crew favorite, JabbaWockeez, ended up on the big stage known as the NBA All Star Game in Phoenix. The coolest part was that they had a guest dancer by the name of Shaq. Check out the video to see Shaq dancing with JabbaWockeez.

Shaq can move pretty well for a BIG man!

Best known as the original champions of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC,) the infamous Jabbawockeez returns to ABDC season 3 on January 15 as the guest judge in place of JC Chasez.

“It’s definitely an honor to be on the other side of the stage as a judge,” said Kid Rainen of the Jabbawockeez. “I’m excited to be able to give my input to the new crews and offer them advice from another dancer’s perspective.”

Since the show, Jabbawockeez have been making several special appearances in sharing the stage with pop sensations Pussycat Dolls at the MTV’s Video Music Awards as well as multi-platinum artist Ne-Yo at the BET Awards. In September 2008, Jabbawockeez paid a special tribute to the legendary Jackson 5 with dance performance to “Dancing Machine” at the BMI Awards.

Currently featured in the latest Gatorade commercial, the Jabbawockeez collaborated with some of the most established sports figures such as Dwayne Wade, Kerri Walsh & Misty May-Treanor, Serena Williams, Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali and with the voiceover by multi-platinum artist Lil Wayne. The commercial premiered during the Rose Bowl game which has already been generating a great deal of excitement on the internet.

Up next for the Jabbawockeez is the spring collection in addition to their hip clothing line “JBWKZ.” “JBWKZ” clothing is now available at selected MACY*S and JBWKZ.com.

I’m going to see if I can’t get some samples of their JBWKZ clothing which I can give away to Pure TV Network readers. So, stay tuned.

The wait is over for one of MTV’s biggest hit shows: America’s Best Dance Crew. The second season of America’s Best Dance Crew was well received and even resulted in an America’s Best Dance Crew tour.

Season 3 of America’s Best Dance Crew holds even more promise. Mario Lopez will be returning as host with a new addition of Layla Kayleigh taking care of backstage duties. The judges are Lil Mama, JC Chasez (NSYNC) and Shane Sparks (choreographer). Word has it that JabbaWockeeZ’s Rynan Paguio will be guest hosting also.

Which is your favorite crew?

After covering the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew, it was really fun when one of the boys I taught in church sent me the following video of some North Shore boys doing a dance in the style of JabbaWockeez!!

Nice work. I wonder when America’s Best Dance Crew will be on the air again. My guess is that we’ll have to wait for summer.

On the first season finale of America’s Best Dance Crew, Jabbawockeez defeated Status Quo to become the champions. Jabbawockeez set the bar high on ABDC and have been hard at work fulfilling their mission to “inspire the world through music and dance.”

A special thanks to Chelsea over at KarmaloopTV for sending this new video with the Jabbawockeez they just launched.
