There were moments of greatness, moments of wierdness, and moments of "do they really think they have talent??". I even learned some new words last night - joint-tortionism, mutation dance genre, and schmean.
Coach Roach is all into the colors and emotions and personal stories. . . I just want to see as much dancing as possible!! (I do have to admit that I love hearing about the hardships they've overcome - auntie's death, arthritis, birth defects, etc. etc.) But really - how many auditions have you been at, where the judges want to know anything personal about you?
Last night there were quite a few excellent "street performers" - but as usual, they were unable to do the choreography (I wish we could have seen more of the attempts at choreography)
The producers teased us with a few seconds of dancers that had beautiful turns, extensions, and leaps. . . . and then you'd see them running out with a ticket to Las Vegas. I can't wait to see more of those dancers.
So You Think You Can Dance isn't only about the dancers. . . the judges are a huge part of the show. I LOVE their reactions. . . even though they are sooooo "over the top". I love when Mary screams (she even cried last night) and I can't wait until she puts someone on the "hot tamale train". I love it when Nigel lectures the dancers about taking more classes or telling them that they are insulting all serious dancers. The guest judges (Napoleon, Tabitha, and Sonya) were really good and I can't wait to see their choreography this season.

I have to say the high or low-light of last night were the gay dancing partners. The first thing I yelled out was Blades of Glory and it was confirmed after the fall/drop.
ReplyDeleteI knew Nigel wouldn't like then from all the comments he has made in the past regarding masculinity.
I agree with you about the few blurbs they showed us of the very talented...can't wait to see them in action.
