SYTYCD

While I appreciate the extraordinarily talented dancers' performances, I kind of miss the train wreck freakshow auditions they used to include more often.
 
Yeah, I think "Sideshow" from Dragon House was the one I saw that REALLY ended as a train wreck.
I missed the first show of the season, but it seems that they have less time with the once a week format?
Also miss their "You're going to VEGAS!" deal. I wonder why that change? Maybe lower cost in LA?
 
Can really do without the Bieber introducing the dance teams or whatever the heck they are. He seems to be phoning it in, doesn't care, doesn't know, or all of the above. Yawn. Showcase the teams who are competing, but leave the clueless dud "hosts" out of it, please.

Granted, this is edited for TV, and perhaps there is more going on that we don't see, but what is it with some "amazing" dancers being handed a ticket to the next round after their solo, while others get grilled about "Have you done any PARTNER WORK? Have you done BALLROOM?" -- and then they crash and burn in the partnered choreo test. Who's to say that some of the fling-my-body-and-roll-on-the-floor dancers wouldn't suck at partnering too?
 
So, I'm NOT the only still watching the show! Cool.

I found this video yesterday, and Nigel kind of answers the crew competition question

Agreed. This is interesting that there's some crossover from America's Best Dance Crew (love that show... bummed that I will never be on a dance crew). I was a bit surprised that Poriotix was not chosen in this initial face-off since they were immensely popular on ABDC, trying to recall if they actually won that season.

Poreotics / Poreotix did win their season of ABDC, to my consternation. Stuff like this crews thing make me think that this is SYTYCD's last hurrah.

Perhaps we can organize a DF dance crew?

Still watching this show, my tastes have changed slightly: I really like the ballet auditions, plus the modern dancers, in addition to some really amazing popping so far.
 
Anyone else geeked out over the graphics that are overlaid on the dancers in this season's title sequences? Anyone know what software they are using?

Mary made a comment about International Rumba being so difficult that... Ballroom people want to comment?

Mary also did a "That's right" that sounded a LOT like what we hear in Blake Shelton's "Boys Round Here." You don't think...Mary's actually heard that???
 
Rumba: difficult to do *well*, yes. If that's the case, why give them Samba? Or Quickstep? Eh, they usually end up gushing over how great they did even when it was sorely lacking in correct technique. I was pretty shocked at the positive comments about some of the couples who made it through the Cha Cha Test. Blech.
 
Not so interesting to see how far Malene got. They put 6 ballroom/latin dancers in the top 20, and America voted four of them into the bottom 6, including the two that got eliminated. Once again, its pretty clear that America doesn't like ballroom dance very much.
