Full episodes of the programs can be found on MTV.com. Whoever can correctly identify the most routines (crew and song title) will be the winner. Click here for all the rules.

ABDC Master Mix Week 7 answer: Boxcuttuhz dancing to 'Bonafied Lovin'
The Master Mix clip was down to 5 seconds this week, but it fooled nobody. All of the 92 submitted entries got the right answer: Boxcuttuhz dancing to 'Bonafied Lovin' during America's Best Dance Crew Season 3. We also accepted 'Music Sounds Better with You' and 'Night to Fall' which were heard in the 5 second clip. FYI -- each week, we'll accept the song name that Mario Lopez announced on America's Best Dance Crew, so you don't HAVE to seek out the name of the song actually heard in the shorter clip! Here's the clue again, followed by the full routine. This contest and its videos were conceived and created by Dirtface X -- Thanks!! And, come back tomorrow for the next installment.

Video: Emmy Awards Opening Number with Randy Jackson, Jimmy Fallon, Glee cast members, Joel McHale, etc.
I'm so glad that Randy Jackson makes a cameo appearance in this -- it gives me an airtight reason to post the opening production number for the Emmy Awards, aired August 29, 2010. Probably my favorite awards show opening EVER.
Video trailer: Ninjaboi casts his ideal but realistic ABDC Season 6 -- what do you think?
Still no concrete news about America's Best Dance Crew Season 6 from MTV or the show's producers. So in the meantime, Ninjaboi is doing his part to fill the gap by creating a scenario and trailer for how he'd do it. Unlike Brandon's equally excellent job in imagining an ABDC All-Star season, Ninjaboi selected crews that haven't yet appeared on ABDC but could realistically expect to be cast. His picks: Instant Noodles, Elektrolytes, Sweet and Sour, Marvelous Motion, Xternal Technique, Second 2 None, Phunk Phenomenon, Ridonkulous, and Point Blank. As we've come to expect from Ninaboi, he has carefully thought out the picks, provided rationales for all and even prepared slogans to describe each (Heaven help me -- I can even hear Mario saying these!):
"So some of you may question why I picked the crews I did for the lineup...First, I’m assuming that the producers will go ahead and continue the “Regions” division as they have been doing, simply because the West Coast is still dominating, so they want to make sure that that subplot story line is still going on. Some may not like it, but I’m going for a more realistic lineup with crews that I know. That means that crews that have said that they will not audition again (BreakEFX, Lost Kidz) are not considered. Also, crews must fit regulations (minimum of 5 members), and historically crews that have members from previous seasons rarely get past auditions, so I’m not considering those crews either (i.e., Beast Mode)."
Click here to read the rest -- you'll be glad you did! And, thanks Ninjaboi!

I wentyesterday to see the "last" Jabba show in Vegas... BEAUTIFULshow....the Coldplay partwas beautiful...... my only criticism isn't even about the show,but I thought that that crowd was kinda weak. I was frontrow...it seemed that I was the only one goin' "WHOO!!!!!" every twoseconds. And altho I didn't pay for $150 for the Meet n Greetsession, I was able to ninja my way in there and meet theguys. They were all mad cool. I asked them if they'regonna do any more shows and they said that they'll prolly doanother 'leg' in Vegas.

Video: ABDC battles SYTYCD!
AG (a reader and frequent commenter on this site) created a video with an intriguing concept - a battle of the best hip hop dances on America's Best Dance Crew vs. So You Think You Can Dance.

And, it captures some of my favorite moments from both shows. From his Boogieotics Youtube Channel -- Thanks AG!
