It's been a long holiday happy and sad. I had to take a break from all the Hollywood Hoopla as my father Pedro Gonzaga passed on December 17. I'm back with upcoming red carpet coverages from the Palm Spring Film Festival to the Golden Globes.
Ramping back up also is "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew - Season 3" Here's a quick video clip of Randy talking about what to expect for Season 3.
As a tribute to my father, I also want to share a dance my niece Merielle did called the prayer during my father's memorial/burial.
Feel free to visit my father, Pedro Gonzaga's tribute page I created at gonzagafamily.com

Shane Sparks showing the sparks for ABDC Season 3
Shane Sparks is sparking it on with what to expect in Season 3. From the Fanny Paks to the Super Cr3ws, Season 2 has definitely brought on more crews to audition for Season 3.
Take a quick look at what Shane had to say about the upcoming season.
Also, we have a group out from San Jose, CA who auditioned in Los Angeles for Season 3. The Head Hunters are hoping that they can honor one of the members' sister, Ruby Lynn, who passed away not long ago. Much respect for the Head Hunters. However, honoring the death of a loved one is not the only thing that brings a crew to the actual show. HH must prove to the talent scout and judges that they should be one of the nine crews to battle on the show itself.
For the Head Hunters, drama has already erupted on Pacific Rim Photo Press' youtube channel as one posting has already accused the crew of using a "sob story" to try and get past the auditions to land a spot on the show. We'll have to see in January when the show premieres.
Here's a clip of our interview with the Head Hunters before their audition.
From our friends at Blogging America's Best Dance Crew, a clip of the Head Hunters' audition. You be the judge if they have what it takes to get past the audition phase.

The Hype of Hawaii Bring the Aloha spirit while Street Vibe krumps through the LA Auditions of America's Best Dance Crew Season 3
This week auditions for "Randy Jackson Present's America's Best Dance Crew Season 3" in Los Angeles features The Hype Crew of Hawaii. Will the Aloha spirit help them float to the top of the heap for a spot on the live show or will Long Beach, CA Street Vibe krump its way to one of the coveted 9 spots available on the live show.
Check out the moves from The Hype and their post interview
Street Vibe may just put the Krump style alive on Season 3, but they still have to make it past auditions. Here's what they have to say when I said "Some people say krumping is dead." I thought they were ready to stomp and krump me to death.
For those of you who are not familiar with krumping, rent the movie Rize.

Quest Makes their move to try and secure their spot on the America's Best Dance Crew stage
Quest is a group that has the potential of being a select few that will vie for the title of "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew." The group from Southern California impressed the talent scout during the LA Auditions of Season 3.
These boys are ready and hoping they make it to the live show of the MTV Reality Show. With three of its performers coming from another reality dance show, they definitely have the chance to bring it on to the MTV viewers and America. However, they caution that it can hurt them also.
Check out their interview clip from the Fore-Sight Studios in the Silverlake Area of Los Angeles .
Here's Quest's post audition interview without background music

America's Best Dance Crew getting ready for Season 3
In the last few weeks, Randy Jackson and crew have been searching high and low throughout the U.S. for the next group of dance crews to battle it for season three of the widely popular MTV series "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew." I had the pleasure to check out the Los Angeles leg of the audition and will have posts with video interviews of auditioning crews, choreographer Napoleon D'Umo, judge Shane Sparks and the master of the show Randy Jackson.
Randy Jackson says, "Three Baby!" As in Season Three.
On in unusually warm Saturday in October at the Foresight Studios in Los Angeles, a grip of dance crews came a calling for their chance to vie for a spot on the MTV show, "Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew."
With the success of season two, more unique groups have come to play on the hallowed ABDC ground. From Krumpers to a crew from the Aloha State, potential ABDC crews took to pounding the pavement to illustrate their moves to sway the judges to pick them as a crew for the live tapings.
In this first post of the upcoming Season 3 show, I had the pleasure of speaking to choreographer Napoleon D'Umo about his duties as a scout in widdling down the candidates for the live show, how he got involved and what crews need to do to wow the judges.
Napoleon D'Umo works behind the cameras to help decide what crews will head to the live show of ABDC.
My interview with Napoleon D'Umo
Next ABDC post will be of Quest Dance crew who participated in the Los Angeles Audition.
Season 3 will premiere some time in January of 2009.

Super Cr3w crowned America's Best Dance Crew
Last night you could feel the the energy on the ABDC set as fans of SoReal and Super Cr3w were cheering on their favorite group before the show commenced. By chance, to bumped into Ailyn Isidro's mother in the parking structure with her son as they were heading to the set of the show. I had a quick chat with Mrs. Isidro and you could feel the genuine support for her daughter and the SoReal Cru. Just seeing the smile on Mrs. Isidro's face said it all.
SoReal always has a smile on the face no matter what!
The show started with each region and those particular crews representing on the stage. From the east to the west the crews illustrated the reason they were part of the top ten.
After watching all the crews perform with their respective regions crews, you could definitely see why Super Cr3w and SoReal were in the finale.
A wonderful note on the Asian/Filipino front was Super Cr3w representing the Filipino Pride with their outfit emblazoned with the three stars and the sun lifted from the Filipino flag. More surprisely was RJ Puno's mentioning Filipino Pride out loud for America to hear which Super Cr3w really didn't mention in previous episodes.
Fortunately for Puno and other Super Cr3w boys, they took the crown of America's Best Dance crew.
Super Cr3w for the win!
No worries for SoReal as they are still proud of their accomplishments of where ABDC has brought them. With confetti and fireworks abound, Super Cr3w celebrated their victory.
Supreme Soul loves the feeling back onstage!
After the show, I had the pleasure of Speaking to SoReal, Supreme Soul and Mario Lopez. We'll have videos up soon.
Super Cr3w was so busy with other mainstream outlets that we didn't get a one on one with them. Only a quick 3 to 4 question interview with four outlets yelling out their questions.
Lil Mama poses for Sthanlee.
Mario said he needed a break esp with flying back and forth from NY to LA every week.
Love is in the air with Ben Chung of the Jabbawockeez and Yuri Tag of Kaba Modern as they remember boxing it out on the set of at the Finale live taping of Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew Season 2 Episode 10 of Stage 23 at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, CA.
As the lights dim on the stage, the crews, their families and friends were ready to head out to the after party at The Bungalow in Hollywood. As for your roving reporter, I'm off to the casinos in Vegas to let off some steam. Maybe I'll bump into Super Cr3w.
