Canada.com reviewed the dance show in Vancouver that featured JabbaWockeeZ. They report that the show started late because the crew were delayed crossing from the U.S. border into Canada. Man, those Canadian passport control guys are tough...or maybe they just didn't recognize the JabbaWockeeZ without their masks. Read the article here.
And watch their performance on Lyme1's channel. Here's the first of Lyme1's videos of the JabbaWockeez:

Exclusive Interview with Randy Jackson
Blogging America's Best Dance Crew field reporters Brooke and Rebecca spoke with ABDC Executive Producer Randy Jackson at the L.A. auditions. Here's his take on the show and Season 3.How will Season 3 differ from previous seasons?
"I'm not going to give away all the surprises. I can tell you that there will be more guest stars and more crew interactions."
What inspired you to start a hip hop dance competition?
"I wanted to bring the culture of dance crews off the streets. They have a lot of passion. This type of dancing has been around many many years down south, in Louisiana. The kids would create the crews in the street and have dance offs, like in "West Side Story" and "Footloose." I wanted to give them support."
Click here to read the rest of the interview, including Randy's role in picking the nine crews for Season 3, how he balances Idol and ABDC, and his other projects.

The Lost Kids at World of Dance and their studio -- waddya think?
The comments section has been burning up with love for the Lost Kids. I'm still trying to see if anyone taped their auditions, but here are two clips for your enjoyment and personal judgement. Do they stand out from all the other talented crews? Do they have that certain unique something that will stand up to the rigors of the America's Best Dance Crew schedule?
First -- here's their performance (and Supreme Soul) at World of Dance on September 27, 2008.
And here's a studio performance, from their Myspace page:
Update: I just got an email from the Lost Kids: "This is Kyle Hanagami from The Lost Kids! I just checked out your page and thanks so much for your support. It's so weird hearing you say we have a fanbase because World of Dance was our first and only performance we've ever done haha. But we really appreciate your kind words none-the-less. It really does mean a lot.Unfortunately the San Francisco auditions were really small so there weren't many people there: meaning no media coverage. I'll let you know if we put any new stuff up though. If you have any questions for or about our team please let me know and I'd be happy to answer them.
Thank you again!and GET LOST!"
=DKyle HanagamiThe Lost Kids oh yeah!
btw the second video you put up is just a class I taught, so they had just learned it and is by no means a performance. hahaha. just fyi. thanks again!
