panel of judges to look back on the rise of these two amazing Crews Master choreographer Mr Shane Sparks please tell us about status quo's Journey yo status quo when I look at y'all y'all remind me when I was younger like when I look at y'all see Cruz that I used to battle Crews that I used to dance with it was times when we didn't have food it was times when we didn't have money but on Friday night we was ready to battle and that's all that mattered you know what I mean it's like status quo to me y'all the epitome of a street Dance Crew the epitome and I respect that thank you for that it's one thing that y'all did this year and on this season that killed me it was when like I think your ankle was hurt I don't know if it was broke or spring or whatever but it was killing you and y'all was like almost eliminated and then what happened was y'all came back the next week y'all did the sickest routine and you flipped off the stage and I need y'all to show me right now hold up all right look it wasn't the flip that got me it was the look on your face right there that look on your face you were saying we are status Chrome and we are America's Best Dance Crew That's what you was representing that day brother the one and only Lil Mama whose new album by the way voice of the young people drops April 29th [Applause] Jabbawockeez then raining Kevin and Prince the Jabbawockeez you

been waiting for years just to come on TV and see dancing like this yeah we're there for each other I think what makes them so strong is we all want the same goals the week ain't not gonna do this ankle was probably one of the hardest weeks for us I don't feel like talking right now I don't feel like talking it'll suck if I don't get to get on stage because I'm the one that can attempt the stunts that we're doing this time no matter what we had to do we did not want to go back home so we just gave it all and it ended up being our highest point I you to show me your heart and I think you took it out your chest and you put it on the Dance Floor the way you bring the street to the stage status quo has come from me and Jess the hood group just oh all y'all do is flip over trash can and now we're out here flipping in front of America we don't have money we only have no cause we got each other but we have each other we came from nothing and to come on top that is like the most biggest accomplishment for us ever yes well status quo was real hard to get here and so did our other finalists Jabberwockies from the start of this competition to a unique style and innovation made you the team to be and even though you perform behind masks we've come to know you pretty well let's take a look back at your amazing journey [Applause] going into the audition process you know we had just lost a member of our crew Gary Kendall he was supposed to be the seventh member that was supposed to do the show with us you guys are moving on to the next round all we wanted to do was just do the show for him and that's what we've been doing since day one of my heart baby we are just a Band of Brothers who came here to just represent Urban freestyle everything that we all came up with was together as a group one of the things that it seems like everybody remembered was the Defying Gravity looking like they were a long jabbawocky body and we made them fly y'all the sickest group I've ever seen in my life we put our hearts into into our routines just like everyone else did but we got to show Gary through our dancing and that last number it was for the fans it was for the audience knows for Gary just for people to see his style of dance through US y'all just set the standard for the next 10 seasons it doesn't even matter about winning it anymore we've already been blessed just being on this show and being able to shine that light [Music] to throw down together our finals got the chance to work with the acclaimed choreographer stop the yard Chuck Maldonado now with her

because both of y'all have the potential to be the best you know what I mean your future is crazy right now and one day I want to wake up watching TV and say I have something to do with the success of y'all two Crews [Applause] mama I just want to say that it's so very impressive to see two groups come together who complement each other so well I wish that we could make this America's Best Dance Cruise as opposed to America's Best Dance Crew because you both have put your heart and your soul into this competition between injuries ain't a tragic loss y'all both could have just lost everything and said I give up but you did it you remain strong and that's one of the best qualities in a young man strength good luck to you both foreign judges but the final judge was you at home we left boating open all the way up until tonight's live finale and got a record-breaking 38 million votes so when we come back it is the Moment of Truth we'll announce to other status quo or jabberwocky's
