All nine crews from this season return to give on last performance on the ABDC stage and America's Best Dance Crew is crowned.

Lil Mama's Group: We Are Heroes, Vogue Evolution And Artistry In Motion: These ladies danced to "Ladies On The Dancefloor". This performance was amazing. Each group had their time to shine and each group adapted to each others styles very well. The group voguing and the group tutting was incredible. This may go down as one of the best finale performances.

JC's Group: Afroborike, Rhythm City And FR3SH: These guys and girls danced to "Fire Burning" By Sean Kingston. It was good, but not better than the one before.I feel two shined in this performance and one was overshadowed. But, other than that is was good.

Shane's Group: Massive Monkees, Beat Ya Feet Kings And Southern Movement: These guys and two girls danced to "I Do (Represent)". It wasn't anything special. The three groups didn't do to well with each others styles but it wasn't bad.

Week 1: They are definitely heroes after this performance. I can't say it was the best of the night, but it was definitely up there. First i have to say that their tutting was amazing. Not only that but they were tutting while leaning back and throwing their arms out every and each way. Also, even though they showed very little of their popping and locking abilities you could tell that they have a lot of skill in that. They are definitely one crew to compete with.

Week 2: This crew and another crew are my favorite right now. The beginning ripple effect was amazing and it was very clean which makes the effect better. Then they did amazing ticking and strobing in their performance. They had some amazing choreography. I have a lot of favorite parts in this performance like the ripple where it looks like they are getting punched in the stomach, also the heart they made with their arms and sort of ticked within it. Another part was the end where they were doing this thing where they lifted their legs until they did this leg lock sort of thing. And can't forget that double booty shake. They brought it and they proved they are a crew to beat.

Week 3: Another great performance. Not their best out of the three weeks but a very good one. The beginning was great and the part where they started to do karate and their flying kicks was great as well. As for the comment that they "started off slow" they had to. The song choice isn't that fast of the song. And the hard beats are every other beat that's why the popping they did was slow. The thing where Riquel and Ali were going over and under each other was good. And the whacking they did was amazing. i have enjoyed every one of their performances so far. I hope they make it really far into this competition.

Week 4: How could they possibly be in the bottom 2? This performance was really good one. All the popping and i think they did some ticking was great. This crew is very creative and they can dance. This is also one of the best crews. Some of my favorite parts were when they got sexy and started belly dancing and threw their bras. Also the slot machine part was very very good i think they beat Super Cr3w's throwing money in the air. Also, whenever they do their choreography they always bring it. This was an excellent performance.I believe they may make final 2.

Week 5: Really now bottom 2 again? This crew had one of the best performances last week and they were sent to the bottom again. Anyways i thought they had the best performance of the night this week. Seriously, there were so many parts of it i enjoyed. First is the entire sock section how they incorporated that into their routine was amazing. Next is how Nichelle,even after being told not to do any of the flips, did all of them perfectly. Another part is how they incorporated the stanky leg. They will not be in the bottom next week especially after this performance. This was the best performance of the night and one of the best of the season.

Week 6: Finally out of the bottom 2. These ladies are really bringing something different and they are my favorite right now. Anyways about the performance it was great. The judges didn't give them the credit they deserved.Even though the song was eh, the performance blew the song away, which in my opinion a crew is supposed to do. So when they threw the fan into the air and caught it, that right there was challenge on its own. But the best part of the performance was the amazing tut tower they did. That was never done before. It was so creative. I also like the part where i believe Nichelle and Mami were on Hiroka and Riquel voguing while in the back Ali was voguing upside down! this was a really great performance i know they will blow the stage away next week.

Week 7:

Decades Of Dance: This crew just blew the other two crew's performances out of the water. Honestly, this performance was one of the best of the season. So I loved their James Brown section because, HELLO, they did some footwork and did really hard moves that none of the other two crews did. Then they moved to their Paula section which was good. I was surprised at Riquel doing all of those spins and twirls. And also this was like a transition from hard moves to softer moves (James Brown to Paula Abdul). Than they got into the Up Rock which wasn't my favorite section but was pretty good. Moving along and now into their Usher section which was amazing. That glide was really smooth and they where all connected. That was very creative. And now time for Lady Gaga (who apparently is considered a dance icon with only 4 videos). I just want to say that the no look floor tutting was hot. I mean seriously it was clean and very very creative. This was a great performance.

Last Chance Challenge: THIS PERFORMANCE WAS HOT! No pun intended. But anyways they blew Afroborike out of the water and into ten different countries with both their routines and especially this one.When they did this thing where they were all connected and they moved their bodies motion into each other that was hot. All the popping was incredibly sick especially while they were going into the splits. The wacking was awesome. Also the fire was an added bonus. I believe with or without the fire this performance was amazing. they deserve this win and I hope they do win...because as you can tell i am a huge fan of them.

Week 1: To be honest i first thought this crew to be another GOP Dance. But after that performance they are definitely couldn't have been. There fusion of Hip Hop and Salsa was great.There partner dancing was pretty good especially toward more of the Hip Hop part of it. But i think they could've been more in sync with each other. This crew may be one to compete with if they clean up a little bit more.

Week 2: This crew just shut everyone up. They ripped the stage. From beginning to end it was a great performance. First when the guys took the girls legs around their necks and the girls did upside down body rolls that was hot.Then one of the guys took one of the girls and did this twirl thing all the way around. They still used their salsa hip-hop fusion in their routine which was amazing. This was a great performance.

Week 3: I thought they did great, i mean it wasn't like their last performance, but it was pretty good. It was a great way to start off the night. Anyways i don't understand what the judges meant by "Lack of energy and same stuff every week." They did a lot of stuff differently and added a lot of different dance moves. And the cartwheels were their challenge. And i really don't understand how you make a cartwheel exciting.But overall a good performance even thought i believe it may land them in the bottom.

Week 4: This performance was one of their best, i also think it was one of the best of the night. All the lifts they do are so clean and so nice. Their choreography is cool and they still managed to keep their style without anyone, well me anyways, getting bored of it.I liked that beginning where they all leaned over and one of them came jumping up. Also, when they spun the one girl and someone rolled under her that was awesome. They need to stay consistent though. Because for the past for weeks it was Good then Great then Ok then Great. This routine was very good.

Week 5: Ok so this had a lot more hip hop incorporated into their routine than usual. It wasn't the greatest but it was pretty good for mostly hip hop rather than their style. The flips and lifts were good as usual, but some of their performance was sloppy. When they started to use the trampoline it started to get sloppy. But i can understand why because if more than one person jumps on the trampoline the lighter person would get sent higher than the heavier one. But overall this was an ok performance.

Week 6: Wow that was really good. The intro was very very creative and went well with the songs title. The choreography was good as well, it wasn't to hard but not that simple. But, this was one great performance. Of course their signature lifts were there but not as much as the past weeks. The part where Alain and Josue threw Zoeth in the air placed her in Miguel's hands and they did the that amazing throw into the air was well amazing! At this point though I can't tell what they will bring next week for one so far each week it has been good-ok-good-ok etc. So maybe they will bring a great performance but if the pattern continues maybe not. But this performance was very good.

Week 7:

Decades Of Dance: Ok seriously this performance wasn't that good, and it wasn't that okay either. They were out of their element and you could tell because there was no energy and they hardly even transitioned they practically walked into place each time. This performance was not good and the only highlight was the assisted wind mill, which was practically a lift. Go figure.

Last Chance Challenge: Well this performance was a step up from the last one, but it wasn't as good as the other one. There was too much going on. And the energy kinda went down as the performance went on. This wasn't that good.

Week 1: This was an amazing performance. There free styling section was awesome. That was where,i think it was Timothy, doing the halos. And then someone else came up from from the back of the stage on his elbows to the beat. This performance was very clean. I just hope they don't become another Super Cr3w, to me anyways, where i get bored with the b-boying stuff. But for now they are doing very good in my book. This performance was one of the best of the night,but not the best. This crew is another to crew to compete with.

Week 2: This performance to me was just a bit boring. But the song did hold them back. A lot. The hula hoop tricks were cool,but it was sort of boring. I think they had two things holding them back: Hula hoops and the song,which isn't there fault. I hope they step it up next week to make up for this performance.

Week 3: I'm starting to get bored of them. I mean they are great at what they do but it's just starting to get boring to me. This crew is just there to me now. I did enjoy the tornado kicks they did and it was synchronized so that was good. But they didn't complete their task. If they pick something they should all atleast attempt it. I mean they picked it. And also someone is always messing up in their performances. There is always someone who isn't doing the same or not doing something at all during their choreographed sections. I don't know where they stand right now.

Week 4: I really don't know about this crew anymore.This was probably the most high energy performance they had and probably their best. I liked all the tricks but im just not really feeling this crew. Also, when they got into their Bollywood sections they became out of sync and they lost some of their energy. I mean overall a good performance, but im just not feeling them.

Week 5: This performance was actually pretty good. The beginning how one of them bounced up from the trampoline was cool and how they incorporated their prop was awesome. I also liked how they used the trampoline a lot. I don't really have much to say about it but one thing i didn't like was how they used the Ricky Bobby to fill in for their choreography. There performance was pretty much tricks than the Ricky Bobby than another trick then the Ricky Bobby. But it was a good performance.

Week 6: Okay so this performance was great, but to me i thought Rhythm City's was better. The choreography was finally good. I don't really have anything to say except for a few points i liked: Lil Lazy's head spin and Marcus's head cartwheel.

Week 7:

Decades Of Dance: So to begin this performance lacked energy and was pretty simple aside from the b-boy power moves and some of the other tricks. But honestly the choreography was just okay. But this performance was better than Afroborike's, but miles away from being as good as We Are Heroes' performance. I like the Usher part where they had done some trick but it was controlled to the tempo of the song. Also, the James Brown was a let down especially from a b-boy crew. More footwork anyone? But compared to We Are Heroes they deserved to leave. But, hey if you are a fan of them they still will be in every episode.

Week 1: These guys have the best performance of the night. For one their choreography was amazing. The introduction where they all fall back was clean which made the effect one hundred times better. Their popping is off the hook. The part where, i don't remember his name, did like a quadruple flip or maybe more. And then back into the choreography. That part where the phone dialing came in was amazing and they did that leaning forward. Everything in this performance was clean and it was all great. They are another to to compete with.

Week 2: I enjoyed how they portrayed a story. It just felt like the same energy they had last week wasn't there. I like how having two girls in your bed is a sweet dream but the nightmare is faces coming through the head of your bed. Well that's how i think they were trying to make it. But anyways the choreography was good it is very interesting and i like it. I still don't know the name, but someone did halos in the middle of the floor while everyone else was still doing choreography. It was a very good performance, just lacking some energy.

Week 3: This performance was the best of the night. There isolations were amazing. And the choreography was amazing. I forget what it was but ithink it was the parnter flips off of that one guy, i know im bad with names this season, was awesome. The energy was all there and they really brought it to the stage. All there choreography is amazing and i really enjoyed the performance. I hope they go far as well.

Week 4: What can i say. This crew is one of the best on the show.Their choreography is really great. And their is no way they are going back into the bottom. So anyways, my favorite parts were all the tricks they did that complimented all the choreography they were doing, which was most of the performance. Also, i think they excelled in Bollywood. Once they took their shoes off they put everything out there. Also i liked the ending pose and especially how they got into it, by using all the Bollywood moves. They had one of the best performances.

Week 5: I think this was their weakest performance. I mean i understand if you are telling a story, but the story got to much in the way of the choreography. I mean yes it was good performance but compared to what they did already it wasn't the greatest. But anyways the Jerking they did was pretty good both the old and the new versions. Also the flips they did at the end. I just think the may land in the bottom next week.

Week 6: They did not deserve to go. I thought this performance was way better than the other bottom 2 crew's performance and also Afroborike,well kinda. But i liked it a lot. From them jumping around the tables to their hard hitting choreography it was great. I hate that they won't have the chance to win because honestly i thought they would make it atleast to next. Anyways, all the tight choreography was amazing and i agree that it is all about a performance not a battle. Especially if the challenge was to make a VMA performace better than it was. And they did that. So it's too bad they had to leave but good luck to them.

Week 1: This crew did good.I've read places that they have a great choreographer in their crew and by the way their routine went those places weren't lying. Voguing isn't new but i think they did pretty good job of updating it. Now the part where they all were standing behind each other and made like this whole wave to the back of the line kind of thing that was cool. They had a good performance.

Week 2: They did great. I think they have a good chance of making it far. They did a good job of adding the African dance styles and just doing the African dance styles. They have great energy and i think they are doing very good.

Week 3: I liked this performance. They told a story and i think they got the point across (if there was a point). There choreography is great and when one person is doing something and the rest are still doing the choreography its awesome. They have the greatest energy this week. And i think they should just keep up what they are doing now.

Week 4: So there performance was good, but it wasn't that great of one. I mean the beginning was nice how they came out of the garage and up to the stage. When they used the scarfs that was cool because they were moving together and it was a great part of it. Also when one ran up the back of the guys up "stairs" and then did a jump off of them that was the best part of the performance. I think they might be facing the bottom 2 next week just because this performance, was the weakest out of the other 4 crews. But, this performance was still good.

Week 5: I think they did very good during their time on the show. This was a great performance, but it's to bad they went up against We Are Heroes who had an outstanding one. So anyways, the opening where they are in the trampoline with their legs up was cool. Then they did vogueing which is what they do. Than they did their dance craze a lot but not using it to fill in for the choreography. It was awesome that they were using the trampoline to do the dance craze as well. Over all a good performance. They were a great crew on the show and hope they will do stuff even though they aren't on the show anymore.

Week 1: I don't really like them. First off they were very sloppy. One person during their performance, maybe more, were either moving faster than each other or slower than someone else. Which makes it look bad even though it could've been a great performance. The hat tricks were pretty cool. Now about their fancy footwork they were doing that was amazing,but with that being said it could get boring after this first performance because that's all it is is fancy footwork with nothing added to it. So lets hope they do better next week.

Bottom 3 Performance: They deserved to be in the bottom 3 compared to most of the performances. They cleaned up very well. I still don't think they deserved to be the first to advance, but i hope they bring it up a lot next week.

Week 2: I think that they definitely stepped it up this week. I don't think their energy was really high until the girl strutted up from the back of the stage and they started there foot work. Which was pretty cool because it wasn't the same fast paced kind as last week. Then they got into some interesting choreography and some popping i think which was pretty good. Then they reinvented the booty pop which was sort of hilarious. But it was a decent performance, way better than last weeks.

Week 3: They are really improving week by week. This week was their best performance. I did enjoy some of the choreography and the popping or the locking they did. Im not entirely sure what it was. It did have low energy and really didn't have any levels besides the introduction. They just need to work a little more on those two thing above and they will improve where they stand in the competition.

Week 4: Finally they stepped it, at least a little bit more than they have been. This was their best performance, but out of all the performances of the night it was not the best. First of all i like the part where they were on their knees doing the choreography.The hat tricks were cool in beginning and they came out hard this time but it wasn't enough. I wasn't feeling a lot of the choreography because it just doesn't have enough to back it up. I think they had a great improvement over the weeks. But this performance just wasn't enough.

Week 1: I'm not a big fan of the Hic-Hop part of their routine but the Hip-Hop part was pretty good i guess. The tutting they did was good, not better than We Are Heroes though. To be honest the Hic-Hop part really does make them seem like a joke. I hope they can step it up.

Bottom 3 Performance: This performance wasn't very memorable. Even though it was just a short one. From what i remember though is that i didn't like it. I think they should've been eliminated.

Week 2: Once again i'm not impressed. I mean the opening caught my attention but then they lost it every time they did their Hic-hop. I just can't find them to be interesting or good. I mean yes they can dance and im sure if they dropped their Hic-hop gimmick they would be a whole lot better.

Week 3: This for some reason always happen. When a crew that i haven't particularly liked since the beginning finally makes a decent routine,and for these guys a very very great routine, end up in the bottom next to a crew that i really like and of course get eliminated.Now up against Rhythm City they should have been eliminated but next to the other crews who weren't in the bottom (besides We Are Heroes and Vogue Evolution) these guys should have stayed. This routine was amazing if you haven't gotten my point yet. All the choreography was sick and the tutting once again is always nice. Too bad they had to go against Rhythm City. But otherwise its like what everyone's been saying if they had just lost their "Hic-Hop" style, they would be top contenders. They just did it too late.

Week 1: They did pretty good on the account that i don't really know how to judge it. I believe they did Contemporary and Hip-Hop. The formations were good. The part where they did the cat claws things was very good and they were sync with each other so it made it even better. They were in sync with each other for their entire performance until the end when they made the diagnol line. It was like one would move then the rest would. But overall a good performance.

Week 2: They actually did very good. I just don't think that contemporary really went with the music. but all the chain and dance moves was really cool. Its too bad they got kicked off. I think they needed more energy and emotion though. But other than that they did good. The choreography was nice and intricate and when one of them pulled the rest back that was cool. I don't really know how far they would have made it, but good luck to them

Week 1: They were awesome. The hair spray part was cool and that whole part was clean even the hairspray was all going to the same directions when it was meant to be. There jazz feel to their performances is great. Even though they do intricate choreography they aren't like SoReal Cru or Kaba Modern. They have a complete different feel to their performances. They do smile at the wrong times though, but that should'nt be held against them.

Bottom 3 Performance: I thought they did great. And the excuse for being eliminated is a real lame one. But they have a lot of other stuff after this. Good luck to FR3SH!
