So You Think ... SYTYCD 2011

[Karen]

I think Melanie could pull of the innocent, shy act. I keep remembering her audition and how cutesy she was, and how different she was immediately before and after her dance. Not immature, but definitely young. She's an amazing performer, and I think she could pull off any role given her, with the right direction.

I think she could handle the shy, insecure act, but she's too well muscled and technically skilled to play "inexperienced, never danced" and unless they rewrite the whole character, she's not the "ugly sister" by any stretch.

But I did finally watch the whole finale, and thought it went on a bit long, but I did like how both she and Sasha both genuinely expected the other one to win, and really did seem happy for each other.

I thought it was very interesting that Melanie got 47% of the vote, and I think they said Sasha got 32% of the vote - that just leaves 21% of the vote to split between the two boys!

I do love Marko, and think he will sure find work as well as the girls.

I don't know, I still think they could pull it off. America Ferrera is gorgeous, and they make her look "ugly" in Ugly Betty. And, I always thought of Baby as plain, not so much ugly. The muscles would be the only thing I think would get in the way, but maybe Baby's a gymnast in the movie haha. As for the skilled part . . . I think she could work on looking less skilled. I mean, this is all dependent on whether she's a good actress or not. She was a great actress on stage, but I imagine it's a different ballgame altogether in a movie.

With all that being said, there are probably better choices to play the part of Baby.

And, I was blown away by the fact that she got nearly half the votes!

I think all those people find work in dance after it's all said and done. At least, that's what I like to think.

I do think she could pull it off but she does work out a lot so that's probably why she has muscles. I wish I could see them on tour but I am not close enough to any states they are going to be!!

I really want to meet Melanie, Tadd, Caitlyn, Marko, and Jordan...all of them really. In one of Melanie's interviews she said she may use her money to go back to school. I wish all of them best of luck in their futures, this show helps them expand their career and I am pretty sure all of them will find work!!!

And just to clarify what I meant, I meant maybe Baby's a gymnast in the movie, not Melanie. I edited my post to make more sense.

Oh ok, sorry.
