ABDC Season 6: And the Winner is...

Tonight it all ends. Either IaMmE wins or I may just give up on this show forever and stick with So You Think You Can Dance only. I guess we'll see tonight! Over 50 million votes were cast, breaking all previous records for this show. Along with crowning a winner, all five previous champions are back to perform again. We'll get amazing routines from Jabbawockeez, Super Crew, Quest Crew, We are Heroes, and Poreotix.

Opening Number: IaMmE and Iconic Boyz
Raise Your Glass by Pink
The two final crews performed together in a rocking opening number and I was very impressed with how well the integrated the two crews style. My favorite move was Marvelous Moon's little slide and rock and roll move, front and center.

Read about the other performances after the break.

TV Upfronts: "The Ringer" Brings Sarah Michelle Gellar back to TV


If you've read my blog, you probably already know I'm a huge fan of Buffy. So needless to say, I'm super stoked that Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to television. She'll even be back on her old network, well sort of since the CW replaced The WB, and in her hold timeslot on Tuesdays.

The Ringer was originally optioned for CBS, but when they didn't have room in their schedule the CW snapped it up. Gellar plays both twin sisters, one with a seemingly perfect life and the other a recovering drug addict struggling to piece her life back together. When the rich and perfect twin Siobhan, suddenly disappears, Bridgette things she's kills herself and takes this opportunity to start a new and better life. However, Siobhan was leading a very different life than she let on. Affairs, dirty money, and a whole lot more are exposed as Bridgette pretends to be her sister.

Watch the CW's trailer for the show after the break.

ABDC and SYTYCD collide: Hiro McRae of We Are Heroes heads to Vegas


There has already been a good amount of cross-pollination between the two shows,  and it looks like that trend will only continue. In the LA auditions, a young japanese hip hopper looked so familiar to me. She did some fantastic popping and as I watching, I recognized her style. It was Hiro from We Are Heroes, winners of America's Best Dance Crew Season 4!

Watch her audition and learn more about other ABDC/SYTYCD crossovers after the break.

ABDC Season 6: The Battle of the Final Two


What's the point of this episode? I thought their last routine was the "last chance dance" that traditionally ends the competition and we just wait to crown the victor. But I guess they wanted to add another episode to the season, so tonight the crews are doing one last episode of "no holds barred" dancing to show America what they've got.

If Phunk Phenomenon had made it to the finale, I would care about this episode a lot more. I don't really care to see Iconic Boyz dance three more times. I just want to see them lose already!

For the first routine, the judges picked their most stunning performance from each crew for them to recreate and kick up a notch. See what routines the judges picked, after the break.

So You Think You Can Dance drops by Ellen


So You Think You Can Dance is in full swing with the auditions continuing tonight at 8pm on Fox. While the auditions are my least favorite part of the show, I do love the hype machine that starts and gets former contestants back on TV.

Ellen has been a huge fan of the show since the beginning, even standing in for Alex Wong in last year's finale doing a surprise hip-hop performance with Twitch. She had a few members of previous seasons on her daytime show yesterday to remind everyone just how amazing these dancers are.

See Alex Wong do an amazing jumping spin into a split -- along with great dancing by Comfort, Brandon, and more! -- after the break.
