I must admit that i usually hate to watch the various specials about the awards shows. However, tonight I think that Katie Couric did a nice job with the special. Maybe the difference was the choice of stars she had on the show. Maybe it was Katie’s ability to be totally relaxed and natural with all of these stars. Whatever it was, I really enjoyed it.

Check out this video preview of the Katie Couric Grammy special to see what I mean:

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.
