They must be feeling so, so nervous.

We hope they're excited as well.

They've got to bring it, because it's the performance of a lifetime.

Thanks for being here. Are you guys ready?

CHEERING

Let's do it!

The judges have been sharing their words of wisdom

and guiding our crews with their expertise, most of the time.

Here's a taste of their lyrical locking.

You guys were IN!

Where did that come from?

Ba-buh-buh-buh-baah...

Tuh-buh-baa-baa.

I'm actually, I'm speechless.

-You are just a big shock.

-CHEERING

I really like that one.

I love it all. Getting used to my hair extensions.

Whoo! Woah!

I love you guys, you make me smile. I love it.

Going once...

Going twice...

-YEAH! AARGH!

-WHOOPING

Here they are. Please welcome our judges.

-Give it up for Kenrick!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Give it up for Lizzie!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Give it up for Turbo!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Kenrick, I've been blown away by the standard we've seen this series.

-Did you expect such quality?

-I actually did.

For me, it's not about the age, it's about the quality.

There's definitely been a high quality throughout this contest.

Lizzie, you were on So You Think You Can Dance?

What words of encouragement can you offer our finalists?

It's a great achievement to make the final.

All I can say is have loads of fun and never stop learning.

Hopefully they'll progress for the rest of their lives.

Turbo, you've almost danced out of your seat

watching most of the crews.

How hard will it be for you three to pick a winner?

If they come with some serious fight, it will be tough to pick.

At the end of the day, we've got to pick one.

Thank you, judges.

Our judges are scoring on technique, choreography and showmanship.

In the event of a tie, head judge Kenrick will decide the winner.

But first, due to unforeseen circumstances,

one of our finalists, G25, have sadly had to withdraw from the show.

We wish them the best for the future

and congratulate them for getting this far in the contest.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Today's final will be between Wiked and Lil Diamondz.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I take it you guys are ready to see some street dance?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Perri and Jordan have been sharing the crews' journey

and they've been finding out what it'd mean for them to win.

First up, not only are they the largest crew in our final,

we've seen them grow in confidence and add new techniques

to their routines at every stage.

-From Dartford, it's Wiked!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Guys, it doesn't get much more nerve-racking than it is now.

How will you cope with nerves?

When we're on stage, the nerves go.

Beforehand, you have to get on with it.

-Which judge do you want to impress?

-Kenrick's the hardest to impress.

We're going to give it our all to impress him.

What would it mean to win?

For Wiked to win Alesha's Street Dance Stars would be amazing.

It would be a dream come true.

We've heard you've got a good luck ritual before you perform.

Can you show us?

ALL: Double, double backhand. Double, double fronthand.

Double back, double front, double, double back!

The crew with the most points and going through to the final is...

Wiked!

SCREAMING

ALL: We're Wiked and we're through to the final! Whoo!

When our name got called in the semi-final,

we were jumping about and so happy.

Looking back to our first audition, we never thought we'd get this far.

To be here in the final is just amazing.

We want to be remembered as unique with big personality.

ALL: We're Wiked!

For Wiked, this experience has been really tough, but it's worth it.

We've all enjoyed it.

For the final, we've definitely upped our game.

We've used different styles and we've worked nine hours a day.

ALL: Good look to the other finalists, but watch out -

we're Wiked!

WILD CHEERING

MUSIC: Kickstarts by Example

# You want me to come over I've got an excuse

# Might be holding your hand but I'm holding it loose

# Go to talk then we choke It's like our neck's in the noose

# Start to think it could be fizzling out

# Kind of shocked me because I never really had any doubts

# Look into your eyes Imagine life without ya

# And the love kickstarts again

# Starts again

# Kickstarts again, kickstarts again

# Kickstarts again, kickstarts again

# Kickstarts again Kickstarts again. #

# 1, 2, 3, 4 get with the wicked

# Can I get a "whoo-whoo"? Chicks getting with it

# Can I get a "what what"? Fellas you know

# 1, 2, 3, 4 get with the wicked

# Can I get a "whoo-whoo"? Chicks getting with it

# Can I get a "what what"? Fellas you know

# RB runs the show

# I'm just too hot to handle in the matter of rap

# The elements of relevance are locked in the track

# I buckle up, run the shop Take it to the top

# But I'm still laid back as I fade the crack

# I tap the bottle and twist the cap

# I bring the essence of pleasance to fight...

# I'm majestic, you can test this

# With the skills I've got, yo! I should be arrested. #

Go, Wiked!

WILD APPLAUSE

You looked amazing. That was incredible.

OK. Mr Kenrick, start us off, please.

Guys. That was very, very nice.

CHEERING

Very, very, very nice.

It was really, really, really good. Really refreshing.

It felt so mature.

There is no age with this contest.

It's a thing whereby you guys have come and said, "We wanna win."

Just now I've seen you really want to win this. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Lovely start there from Kenrick.

OK, Lizzie.

You guys are great. You have so much potential.

I can see you've worked so hard.

You've put every energy in, and it's showing, cos we're just like...

OK. So keep it up. I absolutely love you guys.

-Well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

First you guys were like here,

the semi-finals you were here...

-CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH

That was... You've got... Ah!

I had to contain myself. You guys pushed hard.

Just like Kenrick said, you guys look good.

That uniform complimented your routine.

That hip-hop section when you had the beat playing,

-like inside headphones, I was like, "Oh, yeah!"

-Old school! Yeah!

-Man, guys! Yeah. Yeah.

-LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Amazing, amazing start. Lovely comments from the judges.

-Everyone give it up for Wiked!

-WILD APPLAUSE

What a performance!

Next up is a crew who sparkle onstage every time the perform.

The judges recognised their street dance foundations

are as precious as the jewel in their name.

Of course, it can only be the Lil Diamondz!

When you go onstage, the atmosphere's going to be crazy.

How are you going to keep focused?

We're going to pretend we're practising at home.

We're going to enjoy it.

Is there anything in the routine you're worried about?

It's a brand-new routine to us.

There's this certain popping section where we've never done it before.

Hopefully we can pull it off.

Which judge do you want to impress most?

We want to impress Turbo, because in the qualifiers,

he said he wanted to get up and dance with us.

Do you have any good luck rituals?

Joel's mum put in Joel's bag some little diamonds for good luck.

On the packet, it said, "Good luck."

-Lil Diamondz!

-Nice!

The crew with the most points and going through to the final is...

-..Lil Diamondz!

-CHEERING

ALL: We're Lil Diamondz and we're through to the final. Whoo!

When Alesha called our names at the semi-finals, we were speechless.

We weren't sure if we were gonna get through so, it felt amazing.

Thinking back to our first audition in Newcastle,

we never felt we'd get through to the final.

Lil Diamondz want to be remembered for our foundation

and bringing back the original styles of hip-hop.

Being in Alesha's Street Dance Stars has been hard but fun.

For the final, we're going to keep our energy and funk,

and we're going to bring some new styles.

ALL: Good luck to the other finalists, but watch out -

these diamonds are blindin'.

That was stunning.

OK, Lizzie. Let's start with you.

Wow! You guys have a natural funk without knowing it.

Like, I don't think you realise how great you are.

When it came to that locking, it's amazing.

I liked the beginning. I don't think I've seen you do that style before.

It's great. You've taken on what we've said and added another style.

That's absolutely amazing.

The locking's out of this world, and I could watch you all day.

Turbo.

You guys built me up big time. I've got sweat patches on my shirt.

-Your funk was stinky.

Whoo! Brilliant.

All right, Henrick, finish us off.

I think with this finals, yous are on completely the other side

of the spectrum.

-Yous lot are hip-hop babies.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right now, you've definitely come, the same as Wiked, to win.

And I can see that both groups have made it now

a challenge for us judges to decide who is actually the winner.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Wow! Thank you, judges.

You guys did incredibly well. Give it up for Lil Diamondz!

WILD CHEERING

That's it. They've danced and they've given it their all.

There's nothing our crews can do other than wait for the results.

While we do that, let's take a last look at the performances.

Wiked.

# Take it to the top

# But still laid back and a faith in rap. #

Lil Diamondz.

Please welcome back on stage the two crews who could become

Alesha's Street Dance Stars 2011.

-It's Wiked and Lil Diamondz.

-CHEERING

Now, Turbo, you're the king of phrases.

My favourite was "fresh like a cucumber".

-Give us a sentence that sums up the series.

-I got two words.

-Ridonkulously inspirational.

-Yay! I like that!

Thank you. Lizzie, you are such a versatile dancer yourself.

Have you been impressed with the range of styles in this series?

I have been really impressed. It's taken me so long to get here,

and for them at their age to already be doing it,

I have learnt loads watching from you.

That is the best compliment ever!

APPLAUSE

Kenrick, do you think people watching at home

will have been inspired by our crews' performances?

Not only inspired but educated as well.

It's very important that the audience at home takes into account

how much these guys have been working.

The process for them has been rigorous,

-and they have shown their worth and their expertise.

-Definitely.

Before we reveal the result, I want to say that both of the crews

have done an amazing job to get this far.

Please give it up for our finalists before we announce the winner.

We can only have one winner.

The judges' scores have been checked and verified, and we have a result.

I can now reveal the crew taking home the trophy

and the first to be crowned Alesha's Street Dance Stars is...

..Lil Diamondz!

And please give it up for are fantastic runners up, Wiked!

All right, Lil Diamondz, tell me, what does this mean to you?

-The world!

-It means the world to us.

The world. Are you speechless?

I can't say anything!

I will say it for you - congratulations, Lil Diamondz!

Take the trophy, guys. Take your trophy!

Good to see the support.

Not only are you guys taking home the trophy and are the first

winners of a Alesha's Street Dance Stars, I have a surprise.

You will be taking your winning routine to London's West End

and performing at a premiere of a brand-new hip-hop musical.

Fantastic. Congratulations, guys. Well deserved. So, it's all over.

I've had such an amazing time and I know that goes for the judges too.

Please give them a huge round of applause. Amazing.

And also let's hear it for Perri and Jordan. Thank you, guys.

I am off to work on my moves, so until next time,

it's goodbye from all of us.

Here are Alesha's Street Dance Stars 2011
