So You Think ... SYTYCD 2011

[sparks19]

Yeah last nights show was much improved from the previous week. I actually enjoyed Ryan in the first number they did but the second one she looked so heavy on the stage... like she was clomping around like an elephant. She didn't look graceful or light on her feet at all and that was really distracting.

what bummer news about Alex Wong tonight That guy can't catch a break. He's so incredibly talented and to suffer not only ONE lacerated Achilles but to then suffer ANOTHER one?

I really liked Melanie and Marko's contemporary and I didn't dislike any particular dance, although none of them really stood out. I'm glad to see Ryan go home, she did look terrible standing on stage, in the bottom three, and I didn't like her solo at all. There's just something about her that really rubs me the wrong way. I could have seen any of the three guys go or stay, although Ricky is becoming my favorite of those three.

I thought Nicole S's performance stunk, but I'm not a fan of hers to begin with. I've only ever enjoyed her when she was Derek Hough's partner on Dancing with the Stars.

I'm underwhelmed by the line up of all stars, only because I was hoping to see Lauren and Alex, I guess. What a terrible turn of events for Alex!

I was glad to see Ryan go home, of course, as she just doesn't seem up to par with the other dancers in terms of skill or performance. I was a little surprised to see Alexander go home, after he finally did a good job this week, and I thought his solo was great, but I know nothing about the technical aspects of dance, so cannot be too mad at that!

And I did check the Emmy nominations yesterday as soon as I got up. and was pleased Cat Deeley finally got the nod. She just seems genuinely nice and like she honestly cares about the dancers. Then I looked through the choreography nominations and was surprised to see so many from this show, but that's nice for them.

I listened to a few seconds of Nicole S's performance, and then skipped over the rest of it. Loved the tap dancers, though!

I don't watch it regularly, but my mom and my sister do. I landed on it last night when I was flipping channels. I thought Alex was, by far, the best of the three men. I thought Nigel Lythgoe was being hyper-critical when he commented on Alex's flexed knee on the pirouettes. There were no comments that pointed about either of the other two men. I'm sorry he was eliminated but I can picture him as part of a professional company. Come to Chicago and dance with the Joffrey, Alex!

I'd love to have the Bobby McFerrin song "Thinkin About Your Body" that Sascha used as part of an aerobics class! And I love the Queen song "Body Language" that one of the men used.

I meant Alex Wong from last season. he was a clear front runner and then his achilles tendon basically snapped. he just came back from that injury and was supposed to be an all star this season but alas he has now done the same to his other achilles tendon

Like my mom said, this year the choreographers are not that good. So the dances have not been that great.

I thought Ricky's solo was AMAZING!!! Mitchell should have gone home, IMO, based on their solo's.

I hope the routines get better with the all-stars in them. But I'm not overly excited about any of them either. I do like Robert a lot. And I was so sad and shocked to hear about Alex.........again! One of the dances nominated for an Emmy (the Twitch and Alex hip-hop that Ellen stood in for Alex on) is one of my all-time favorite dances.

While Cat does annoy me sometimes, she is very comfortable on stage and that makes for a great host.

That is also one of my all time favorite dances. I still bring it up on Youtube every once in a while lol. it was just incredible. Yeah I thought maybe I was just starting to tire of the show because it seemed like there wasn't much to get excited about. I'm hoping once they pair up with the all stars it will turn around. I LOVED that format last year so I'm excited to see it again this season.

I think I heard them say Twitch is back this season right? I hope so. I adore him.

Yeah, he's back, and so is Kathryn, Comfort, Pasha and Allison, to name the ones I could think of right away. Love them, except for Comfort, although she does well in her style, but was really hoping for Lauren Froderman, Joshua (of Joshua and Katee fame), or Jeanine Mason. They're some of my favorites.

[sparks19]

Yes I love Joshua too. The bollywood he did with Katee was epic and no bollywood routine since then has even come close.

Did you know....

A lot of former SYTYCD dancers are background dancers on The Fresh Beat Band? Oh yes... Hannah loves this show and the first episode I watched was the hawaiian one and Mark was one of the dancers. In the tap dancing episode Joshua and Comfort are both in that one and then Legacy is a permanent background during the first and last song that they do in every show.
