NEW YORK (March 17, 2010) - MTV's hit reality dance competition series from Warner Horizon Television - Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew - will up the ante on Season Five star power when multi-platinum superstar Usher challenges the crews this Thursday, March 18th, at 10p.m. ET/PT.

Crews will "usher" in their hottest performances to date as they dance to Usher club anthems that include "Yeah!" and "Love In This Club," in addition to his new single "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" from his upcoming March 30th album release, Raymond v Raymond. The Usher challenge continues the show's tradition of producing episodes dedicated entirely to the music of exceptional performers such as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyonc�, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Missy Elliott.
