It's been quite a "Season of the Superstars" at "America's Best Dance Crew," and the moment we've all been waiting for is here at last! The Season 6 finale airs tonight at 7:30/6:30c and promises to be unforgettable with all five previous champions (Jabbawockeez, Quest Crew, Super Cr3w, Poreotix, We Are Heroes) returning for special performances, and the Top 2 crews battling one last time on stage. The energy on the "ABDC" set is gonna be unlike anything you've ever seen before!

At the show's taping, ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh caught up with all the major hitters just before the action went down, including Executive Producer Randy Jackson, judges JC Chasez, Lil Mama and D-Trix, remaining competitors IaMmE and Iconic Boyz, and the now-legendary Wockeez. Find out from them why you MUST tune in tonight for this star-studded finale:

MTV viewers spoke again, voting the popular young bucks of Iconic Boyz safely into the ABDC Championship at the top of Week 8's episode. That left the remaining two crews, Phunk Phenomenon and IaMMe, to battle it out for the other spot in the Final 2.

Knowing that it might be their last performance, both groups pulled out all the stops with mind-blowing, near-perfect routines. Phunk offered a particularly powerful performance, which D-Trix called "relentless," and Lil Mama said they "made a big impact." JC Chasez marveled that the crew was "on Nitro" and that the routine "had everything." Meanwhile, IaMMe was valiant in their first bottom-two battle, with a unique performance that left the judges almost speechless.

In the end, the Phunk Phenomenon fam was sent home, but the crew was nothing but joyous as they celebrated making it so far in the competition and raising awareness for their charity, Hip Hop For Hope. ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh had an inspiring conversation with them backstage as they said their final farewells. Check it out:

Most people know JC Chasez from his work as a music artist and "ABDC" judge, but he's actually got a few other tricks up his sleeve! Chasez recently teamed up with friend and "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, penning two tracks for Morrison's self-titled debut album, which dropped this week.

ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh popped by Chasez's "ABDC" trailer before the show's taping on Tuesday to dish on creative collaboration and what it's like to wield the power opinion as an "ABDC" judge. Check it out:

We're already into Week 4 of the search for "America's Best Dance Crew," and the intensity is palpable! The latest challenges were doled out by pretty pop princess Katy Perry, whose expectations were high as she asked crews to reimagine some of her visually iconic hits like "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream" and "Firework."

At Tuesday night's taping, the pressure was on New Zealand's ReQuest, who'd found themselves in the bottom two twice in a row. ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh spoke with the crew backstage before their performance to see how they were holding up. Check out her preshow interviews with them and the other remaining dancers here:

Chi-town's FootworKINGz hit the stage last week with a fast and furious debut performance to Ke$ha's "Don't Stop." The "ABDC" judges couldn't get enough, with Lil Mama saying they were a "gust of fresh air," JC marveling at their underrated moves and D-Trix calling them "the future."

But viewers at home were harder to impress, and when America voted, the hyper-stepping septet found themselves up for elimination in Week 3, stunned alongside New Zealand's ReQuest. Both groups came hard with killer performances, but FootworKINGz were ultimately sent home.

ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh spoke with the crew after the elimination and before their tough trek home to the Windy City's South Side. Hear their parting words:
