I keep trying to write a recap but something keeps stopping me. I feel like Harry trying to throw hexes at the Half Blood Prince after Dumbledore bits it. I just can’t write because something is wrong in the world.
Danny Tidwell is like Voldemort. He’s “He Who Must Not Be Named” and it pains me with every bit of my being to say that…
No I can’t…
Adava Kedavra!
Damnit, didn’t work. I still want to say that I absoloved Danny and Anya’s Fox-Trot last night. There, I said. ARE YOU ALL HAPPY NOW? Kittens just died because I said that! Does that make you all happy?
I CURSE YOU JEAN MARC JENERAUX for creating such a wonderful vehicle that showcased his unreal talents. How dare you.
His leaps, his grace, his extension, his brilliance during that piece makes me want to gouge my eyes out. It makes my lightning bolt scar hurt. Seriously, the most beautiful and down right amazing routine of the night.
It was a real showcase for Tom Riddle and Anya Garnis as it highlighted the strenghts of each. Some wonderful partnering skills from Voldemort (finally) which really allowed Anya to just get out there and float as if her feet were on a Nimbus 2000.
Seriously, there’s going to be a Dark Mark above my house after writing this post.
Let’s not pussyfoot around. Shauna Noland and Cedric Garnder were sent home last night on a semi-bloated hour of So You Think You Can Dance.
Was it time for either or both to go? I’m not sure. I 100% believe it was time for Cedric to go home. He had learned a ton while on the show, he’d grown as a dancer, as a person and scored himself a sweet free ride to the Debbi Allen Dance Academy. Can’t beat that. I think he was proud of his performances and I think that he knew it was his time to go (two weeks ago)…
Shauna on the other hand was totally screwed. There’s a part of me that didn’t mind her going home, but then there was that part of me that thinks she got the short end of that dance stick. Nigel complained that she didn’t grow much during the course of the season and that she isn’t showing the potential needed to stay around at this stage of the game. That may fully be the case but come on… YOU GAVE HER CRAP PARTNERS!
Jimmy was a good dancer, but they had zero chemistry together and never connected. Cedric was like dancing with a first year at Hogwarts. Shauna was Hermione and Cedric, Neville Longbottom. It was never going to work and how could Hermione grow if she’s always left behind because of Neville’s shortcomings? What am I talking about here?
Farewell you two, good luck and sorry but we’ve got to move on!
I’d like to say I so called the Bottom 3, but patting myself on the back seems pointless when there’s more to chat about. (more…)
First of all let me start by saying I was so happy to see Cat Deeley and the Top 14 kids back in action after that mini-holiday hiatus they took last week. It was like seeing an old friend again, putting on those comfy pajamas, or biting into a bing cherry for the first time all year. You know, things you love and are happy when they come back and they just make you giddy like a school girl…
Before I get into the show at all I want to say that I want to hug, squeeze, kiss, high five, dap, and maybe give a happy ending to Hairspray The Musical Director/Choreographer/This Week’s Guest Judge ADAM SHANKMAN for finally having the balls to say that Danny Tidwell acts like he’s way above this competition! In fact I think the words were, “you dance like you’ve already won this competition.” There was some calling out of sticks being up asses and cockiness and my paragraph has just gone to a whole new level of innuendo but seriously, I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE SHANKMAN CALL HIM OUT! Amen brother man! Needed to be done but we’ll talk more about it later.
I was at GMMR’s all night watching the show and podcasting then podcasting again because we had a pretty major technical difficulty and I didn’t get home until well into the hours of Thursday.
That being said, I have watched last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and will be working on a recap as best I can throughout the morning. Stay Tuned…
It’s been two very long weeks without my obsession for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE being quenched. Luckily it’s back on Wednesday night and not only will I be watching with baited breath, I’ll be over at GMMR’s house watching and podcasting so it should be triple fun.
So wanna know who danced what tonight at the taping of So You Think You Can Dance Week 4? **SPOILERS AHEAD**
So You Think You Can… Predict who’s going home on this show each week? Hardly. Last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE results show was yet another shocker of a night for the dancers and for the audience. The contestant that just won’t go away is still kicking around and Mary Murphy’s jovial screams were probably sent into a pillow last night instead of into the audience.
As you’ve probably guessed by now, Cedric Gardner did not go home after the insistence from Mary Murphy and Nigel that he must. I knew this would happen. I knew that the way Mary and Nigel treated Cedric on Wednesday night would cause more people to vote for him out of sympathy and not. Oh you could just see Mary seething sitting there on her stoop. Suck on that Mary Murphy! Cedric Gardner is still on the Hot Tamale Train and he ain’t getting off anytime soon. Shauna girl, you deserved to stay as well, you worked that Mia routine like noone’s business.
Jessi was there in attendance and she looked great during both the opening number and when they allowed her to dance the routine she should have danced the night before with Pasha. Let me tell you, girl wiggled and writhed like a horny latin stripper! The routine had a different feel but hands down it was wonderful to watch. Regardless, she’s dancing for her life.
So You Think You Can Dance Week 3 started off with one hell of a bang! Not only did we get the best guest judge the shows ever had, we quite possibly got the best guest on any reality show, period! A dancer has an irregular heart and was replaced by an insane person. Nigel rips a dancer a new one and asks Cat to sit on his face. All this and more coming up on So You Think You Can Dance.
The Top 16 performed last night and the two hours hurled by like a whirlwind and I’m still left numb from all the awesomeness.
Guest Judge Debbie Allen (girl, you know I love me some FAME and beside all the gifts you brought to the show last night you also reminded these kids that Fame does cost and that up there on that stage is where they start payin’… in SWEAT!) is the shit! Never has there been nor will there ever be a Judge on SYTYCD like Ms. Debbie Allen.
She’s funny, professional, emotional, fierce, uplifting, generous, articulate, and honestly could there be someone who knows more about dance? Doubtful. The woman worked it out and the only thing missing from her performance was a guest spot from Felicia Rishad and some lip syncin’ Huxtables.
Before the dancing began, Mary told us that her favorite dancer is Dominic (and seriously he’s slowly becoming mine as well) and she gushed so much about him that I swear she’s got a blue dress and a beret somewhere in her closet. Nigel said he was very pleased with the show up to this point and loves the online chatter, even the person that called him “The ugly old guy with the dentures and the cat on his head.” when trying to correct the person he basically sexually harassed Cat. “And you’ve not been on my head Cat…” Oh no he didn’t!!!
Every Tuesday morning I wish I spent the night before in Los Angeles if only so I could have seen the taping of this week’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. We’re entering Week 3 and I’m getting more excited as the time passes.
Last week we lost Jimmy and Faina, the week before Ricky and Ashlee and according to online sentiment this week we should be losing Cedric and Shauna (though Jessi is earning bad marks all around).
After reviewing the dances that will be performed on tomorrow night’s show I have to say I’m a little worried. Not to mention, people who attended the taping last night said it was a mess of a taping. Some girl fainted, they had to re-record a good amount, and the audience was out of control. To me, that sounds like money!
The dances and choreographers are revealed after the jump. (more…)
So You Think You Can Dance Week 2 was a hard one because each contestant was really great and tonight, I knew it was going to be a really rough elimination. I however wasn’t expecting the shock of LACEY and KAMERON going home!
I kid…
Though sadly some peeps would love to see that happen. How dare you!
Let’s get right to it. The Bottom 3 Girls were Jessi Peralta (wha wha what?), Shauna Noland, and Faina Savitch. I expected Shauna and Faina to be in the bottom three but really with Jessi? Mary wasn’t having it and again I was worrying we were going to have a Ricky moment from last week.
The Bottom 3 Guys were Pasha, Jimmy Arguello, and Cedric Gardner. Again, Jimmy and Cedric were expected but there was no way Pasha deserved the bottom 3.
Tonight we did lose two dancers that were not partnered and in doing so we’ve created our first Season 3 Frankendancers….
D’Trix really is now Dominic after tonight’s mature and incredible performance. I absolove the intricate moves and think that both dance very well together.
Wednesday is a good night. So You Think You Can Dance really makes me a happy camper and the show tonight started off with some incredible routines and some hot ass chemistry!
My BF Neil Haskell (yes, after tonight it is official) and Lauren Gottlieb danced to a Hip Hop routine by Choreographer Dave Scott. We got to learn a little more about both contestants (all the contestants really) which is great because it helped me fall more deeply into TV crush mode with Neil. We’ve got a special thing, me and Neil and his calves… Those calves are like two softballs in white socks (wait, what?) and I just want them wrapped around his ears me.
I loved that Neil came out during the opening of the show and did the trademark Travis Wall spins, that helped endear him to me, can’t lie. The choreography was insane for this routine and it really played to Neil’s height and lankyness. I absoloved the ass smak, the dive roll, and the kick Lauren gave Neil! Amazing! Such a great way to start the night.
Mia said Neil rocked her world. Get in line bitch! (more…)
It’s Wednesday and that means tonight is all about SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE over on Fox. While some of you might think that the dance show is live, it’s not. It’s recorded Monday nights, aired on Wednesday and then they go live on Thursday.
Before I get to the spoiler of what couples danced which routines, I wanted to bring you this treat. Please let this be the group number this week. Here’s an amazing video of Gwen Verdon doing some 60’s Bob Fosse (thanks to pheoboy for the video):
Here are the couples and their routines for Wednesday, June 20th: (more…)
So You Think You Can Dance groups numbers are either incredible or incredibly bad. Last night we were given yet another incredible treat from choreographer Wade Robson. Seriously, can I just have his babies already? Wait, that’s not possible and I so don’t want kids but you get the idea here.
The girls were like Laugh-In dancers meet Oompa Loompas and the men were just sleek and sexy hot! Everyone was on point, in sync, and representin’! Great way to open the show.
So You Think You Can Dance sent two contestants home tonight and one of them I’m sure will cause quite the shockwave. I’m still stunned at the decision the Judges came to tonight. I’m just gonna get it out of the way so, get ready…
