America’s Best Dance Crew Champions for Charity

America's Best Dance Crew Champions for Charity

If you missed it last night, all five champions of America’s Best Dance Crew took the same stage. Kicking things off is a medivial themed dance routine intro for Jabbawockeez, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, We are Heroes and Poreotix. (Like the Quest for G – Beware the Jabbawockeez commercial). Each dance crew links up with a charity that support kids. Poreotix performs a Chipmunks themed dance to raise awareness for Everybody Dance Now, a charity focused on providing a healthy outlet for at-risk kids. As dolls coming out of the box, We Are Heroes supports The Sparkle Effect, which empowers high school cheerleaders across the country to start their own squads for individuals with special needs. Quest Crew comes back swinging to support Say It Now, a film aimed at promoting the importance of education. Super Cr3w gets tested to support Marvelous Connections, an organization aimed at stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS. (They’ve got a little surprise in their performance.) ABDC’s original champions Jabbawockeez return to the stage in support of Josh Sundquist, an amputee who foundead the site Less Than Four. Check out their robotic dance moves that they’ll be showing off in Vegas.

Does Ryan Higa have Bieber Fever?

Does Ryan Higa have Bieber Fever?

Here’s Ryan Higa with his latest Off the Pill with a rant about Justin Bieber. People usually have one of two reactions to Justin Bieber. They either worship him or hate him. (Which side are you on?) Ryan Higa’s draws a hilarious comparison to Bieber and Pokemon. Anyone that’s heard the song Baby must also be wondering what Ludaris was doing on the track. Ryan does the same. In the end, Ryan Higa gives Justin Bieber less than 3.

Some of our favorite Bieber related posts include Baby by Legaci x Cathy Nguyen x Traphik, Raaaaaaaandy Declares War on Justin Bieber, and Baby Parody (Cradle Robber Remix) by ice1cube. Look for more Bieber posts in the related post section.

If you’re in the Chicago area, be sure to check out the Declare INDIE going down today. One of the performers we learned about it Raman Sachdev. He is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer, and producer. His primary genre is “singer-songwriter”, although he branches musically into the pop and rock genres as well, while lyrically he can go from a pensive to a comedic tone. He has placed in and won several international songwriting competitions and has licensed many of his full vocal and instrumental recordings in film/tv/commercials.

Check out his music Video “Song for Soni”. You can hear the traditional Indian elements in this song. If you like what you hear, you can get his album “Self-Revealed” on Raman Sachdev - Self-revealed or at Amazon
