America's Best Dance Crew reached a fitting conclusion last week as Super Cr3w took the title. The judges said Super Cr3w was the favorite for most of the season, and in the end, America agreed. Now on tap for the winners will be an MTV special this weekend in which they'll dance with season 1 winners JabbaWockeeZ. They're also prepping for the America's Best Dance Crew live tour while still under the daze of winning.
BuddyTV spoke to the guys from Super Cr3w about their win, their dangerous routines, their favorite competitors, their plans for the tour and how they really feel about JabbaWockeeZ. Continue reading to listen to Super Cr3w or to read the highlights of the interview.

This week, we saw the finale of America's Best Dance Crew 2, and the b-boys from Las Vegas, Super Cr3w, took home the title, defeating SoReal Cru's Southern style.
But we didn't all tune in just to watch the winners being announced. It was also a chance to see the fallen crews once again, and see how they would perform teamed up with the other crews from their region in the country. Did any of the routine uncover some geographic hot spots for developing a hit America's Best Dance Crew performance?

It's finally here, the season 2 finale of America's Best Dance Crew! This rushed second season has been extraordinary, thanks to creative and brilliant performances by groups like Fanny Pak, A.S.I.I.D., Supreme Soul and Super Cr3w. Tonight one of two things will happen: either Super Cr3w will win or injustice will prevail. I have nothing against SoReal Cru, but the fact remains that they are just a really good dance crew while Super Cr3w is something special, a group that makes me stand up and take notice.
For this very special America's Best Dance Crew finale, I'll be providing live commentary as the vanquished crews return one last time to wow us and Randy Jackson shows up in his contractually obligated finale appearance.

Tomorrow night, we will see who will win the title on America's Best Dance Crew 2. SoReal Cru is coming into the finale never having landed in the bottom. Super Cr3w, on the other hand, has fought their way back from the bottom a few times, all the while the judges expressing their disbelief that the American public put them there.
We'll learn the results tomorrow, and we will also have the chance to take a look back at the crews that fought for the title, but saw their banner fall. I'm taking a look back now at the performances throughout this season and making my picks for the top ten overall performances on America's Best Dance Crew 2. Will they be yours?

As the second season of America's Best Dance Crew draws to a close, the people behind America's Best Dance Crew Live have decided to bank on a growing popularity and add more cities to the current itinerary. The 2008 North American tour now includes 25 cities this fall. The latest additions are Las Vegas, San Diego, Phoenix, Grand Prairie, and Houston.
The tour will kick off in Miami on September 18 and will run for five weeks across the country all the way to October 23 when it ends in Houston, Texas. It will feature five of the most popular dance crews from the show's first two seasons as they battle it out a la the normal America's Best Dance Crew each night, live. Most notable, of course, of the line-up is season 1 winner JabbaWockeeZ and b-boys on wheels BreakSk8. Three spots are still up for grabs.

This week on America's Best Dance Crew 2, SoReal Cru and Super Cr3w had three chances to perform to win the hearts of the voting public. The crews worked through three challenges, one incorporated global dance, one that let them design their own dance craze to an original song, and one that would be their last chance to show the audience why they should be America's Best Dance Crew.
I was originally considering making this Best and Worst column even-handed and equal, picking one Best and one Worst from each crew. But you know what? One routine was so far out ahead of anything else I saw that night, I just can't do it. I have to pick just one.

America’s Best Dance Crew has reached the final two. Either Super Cr3w or SoReal Cru will win season 2. I mean no disrespect to SoReal, but Super Cr3w better win this. After the eliminations of Supreme Soul, A.S.I.I.D. and Fanny Pak, the jaw-dropping tricks and routines of the b-boys from Vegas are the single best thing left.
Tonight it’s all about one last chance to win over the viewers on America’s Best Dance Crew. The show starts off with an introduction of the two starting line-ups. Voting, which began after last week’s episode, remains open throughout this week as well. Both crews perform three times.

This week on America's Best Dance Crew 2, the remaining two crews have their last chance to dance for the votes of the public. Super Cr3w is the darling of the judges, but has landed in the bottom when it comes to the vote of the public in previous weeks. That said, it seems possible that fans of Fanny Pak might now switch their vote to that crew's buddies Super Cr3w. SoReal Cru has never been in the bottom, but their routines haven't always been as explosive or creative as some of the other crews.
Will SoReal Cru be able to bring up their difficulty level and win over more respect from the judges, and maybe those fans who are looking for more wow factor from the crews? Will Super Cr3w be able to stay tight as a team yet still show the heart that can win over the viewers?
We won't know the results of America's Best Dance Crew 2 until next week, but this week we do at least have an advance look at what the challenges will be.
