Winner of MTV's hip-hop 'Made' in Lynn announced



With the “Head to Head Hip Hop Challenge" show filmed at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 20, three hip-hop hopefuls plucked from Winthrop High School--Abby, Eddie and Christine--are vying for the top prize after being coached by Boston native Cedric Crowe as well as CiCi Kelley and Sam Renzetti.

And the winner is ... Eddie. The shy, pop culture fanatic snagged a check for $10,000 and props from tough-as-nails "Making the Band" choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson. "You can be in one of my videos anytime," Gibson gushes at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium taping.

At one point, the Winthrop High School wannabe coached by Crowe wanted to quit the competition but was talked out of it by his mom, who knows a thing or two about not giving up after fighting cancer.

Abby, the goofy tomboy coached by Kelley, came in second and Christine, the cheerleader coached by Renzetti, came in third.

Safar Coiffures, an upscale salon located at 23 Newbury Street, is where the trio gets a makeover before the big competition.

Cris Judd, J.Lo's ex hubby and dancer, Gibson and, Soulja Boy, who performed "The Bird Walk" with the dancers, were judges.
