Watch Episodes 8 & 9 of LXD Season 3 here now, starring IaMmE and Lil Demon!

It's Thursday, so the LXD is back. Two new episodes this week. If you have only have time to watch one, pick Episode 9 with IaMmE (ABDC6 winners) and other hip hop dance heavies!
- Mess in Aisle 7 (Episode 8) takes place in the current day. LXD Rinas -- a bevy of ballet/contemporary dancers on the GOOD side -- try to get to the Dark Doctor by ambushing the Dark Nurse and her son (danced by Lil Demon). This episode advances the plot, but feels less intense and a little sillier than most.
--Alliance of the Dark (Episode 9)-- returns us back to the nightmare world. Sp3cimen is in the clutches of the Dark Doctor, who is busy examining possible recruits to his gas masked battalion of evil. And, a visitor arrives looking to partner in a quest to demolish the LXD. THIS is the IaMmE episode -, and it's a beaut! Also featured: Madd Chad (back as Sp3cimen), Jonathan 'Bionic Man' Bayani (member of America's Best Dance Crew Season 2), Wesley 'Poppin John' Austin, and Robert 'Robot Prince' Knott. DEFINITELY watch this one, but not in the dark by yourself.

Video: Team iLuminate on America's Got Talent Top 4 Finals

Here's hoping that Team iLuminate wins America's Got Talent -- they deserve the $1million (well, not really $1million; it's either paid out over 40 years or paid out now at the present cash value of $450,000!) and especially the Las Vegas engagement with their many routines, including last night's Top 4 Final number:

David Sean Jason's report on World of Dance Seattle

David Sean Jason attended World of Dance Seattle on September 10, 2011. Here are his impressions: It was by far AMAZING!.. What was the first thing I did? I bought a Mos Wanted Crew shirt and tank! Chachi was also right inside where her clothes were being sold. I was able to get her to do a Shoutout to BABDC and will try to upload it as soon as possible to my JasonSeanDavid Youtube site. Unfortunately, I was super far in the back of the line for the Meet and Greet and was not able to get JRA's and Puspos' signature. However, I was able to find them early on as I reserved my seat inside the auditorium and was lucky enough to get them to sign my old SoRealCru shirt that I won from this site.
Now lets talk about the show. Is it just more or are more and more kids taking up dancing? And when I mean kids, I mean little elementary school kids. There were three Bboy kids that performed solo including Bboy Jalen who's performance did not please me at all. There were many VERY young dance crews, and it must be hard to believe this, but they KILLED their performances. All the early performances definitely set the atmosphere for the competition round. The competition crews were VERY VERY good! It was by far in my head the closest competition between crews. I honestly don't know HOW THE HECK judges do the scoring, but many crews performed VERY well.
