Not enough Cat Deeley in this eppy >_< sniffle I'm thinking this can be a really good group, from what we've seen. And that ballroom couple with the girl doing the somersault-split lift? They were awesome.

While we're at it, who did that version of 'Tide Is High'? I'm pretty sure it was Kardinal Offishall. Again, a youtube version is out there.

A little overkill but surely most will get cut. Loved the HipHop/Tap kid. Very creative fusion of dance. Glad Evan came back. His solos are great but I also hope he can do other styles this time. ASUKA ON TOMORROW <3 <3 Just based on last seasons performance I'll be furious if she's snubbed this year.

She reminded me of a puppet because her legs were just flailing everywhere. In saying that, I really hope she makes top 20 this year!

It is all the same like 5 moves. And I mean not that it matters that much, most of the styles of dance basically have the same 5-10 moves or whatever, but the only reason I am majorly hating on it right now is because I think it is pure bullshit to send people who do those styles right to fucking Vegas, they think hip hop and other genres need the choreography but yet never lyrical and contemporary? They cry and cream over that shit and some of it sucks ass. All they ever do is cover their mouths and do leg stretches, and I don't get why some people are allowed to expose their groins and it's fierce but when others do it the judges bitch? Ew so much.

They get to go right to vegas because in order to do those styles you have to be a classically trained dancer which means that you know how to do choreography, and they'd have training in other styles because that's what dancers do -- my five year old is taking three forms of dance right now and that's normal (I'm also betting the 10-20 years of dance training they have is probably on their resumes). Hip hop dancers are often self trained which is why they send them to do choreography and the ballroom dancers often just do ballroom which is why they send them off to make sure they can do choreography. I'd also bet that many of these contemperary dancers are known by the choreographers when they audition. Sonja chorographs at my daughters studio and also works for one of the big compeition companies (I'd bet the other choreographers do the same) which would mean that they know and have taught the trained dancers.

Was that Sandra? She was the first female eliminated in the top 16. Yes. I don't know why they keep talking about being the first tapper in the Top 20 or whatever. She totally crashed and burned with her Hollaback Girl "dance for your life." IIRC, she was first partnered with beautiful Artem.

Quite a few that were very compelling LOVED seeing Evan back - and his brother is a riot! Hip replacement girl was lovely too. And the mid-air somersault split couple...whoa! Danielle Gokey - meh. She can get cut in Vegas I agree with the comment about how most contemporary dancers look the same the same the same the same the same the same the same after a while...but there are a few that have something extra that make you look twice. I thought hip replacement chick was one of them. And it's funny, because sure - contemporary dancers often have more training than other kinds of dancers. But I still think a lot of them have trouble with breaking out of the contemporary mode when confronted with other genres. Not all, of course, but quite a few As to all the returnees this season - I think they (judges, producers, crew) see a LOT of the same dancers audition year after year. I just think we're seeing more of them this year, because of the fan response to those who didn't make it to the show last season...and they're (hopefully) going to make it this season But I do agree with whoever said it earlier - just because they're favorites in the auditions, doesn't automatically give them a free pass if they do make it to the show. I really hope they bring their A-game every week and prove they deserved a spot

But it's all bullshit. After watching and listening to Nigel for several seasons, I'll bet there are a lot more guys and 'not so menly' gays out there who feel discouraged about dancing than there masculine guys who decide to take up dancing. If you are a man who thinks dancing is for girly boys, you wouldn't be watching this show. And if you are a masuline guy, yet still watch and enjoy this show, you don't need Nigel or anyone to tell you it's okay for boys to dance. Last Edited By: SentinelHeart 05/28/09 9:32 AM.

Anna Dunn was the Hot Tomboy. Totally "Facts of Life" Jo. First Kinney sister had a big juicy ass. 2nd Kinney was built like a body-builder (broad shoulders, no hips). Megan wins. Loved the twins, just for the fantasy factor. Don't know if they're any good at dancing, but on this show, it doesn't matter. And Kid with Football Dad has hopefully been doing training with Dad and bonding even more during this time. Their interests would mesh. And loved Season 1's tapper Sandra. So cute. She put out an album? Last Edited By: Screerider 05/28/09 10:26 AM. Edited 1 times.

All they ever do is cover their mouths and do leg stretches, and I don't get why some people are allowed to expose their groins and it's fierce but when others do it the judges bitch? Ew so much. I've actually learnt quite a few moves from all these years of watching lyrical/contemporary on SYTYCD: 1) The split jump - can also be upgraded into the turn split jump 2) Spinning - either with the leg bent with one foot to one knee (pirrouette?) or where you turn your body with the other leg (fouette?). When you lose your balance or feel yourself falling, you can always flail your arms around as if you meant for it to happen. 3) The raising of the leg in the air and holding it for a set period of time or until you lose your balance and fall and cover it up with a roll on the ground. 4) The grabbing arms to the face/mouth/air/sides/any body part that the song makes reference to except genitals. Can also mo.rph to swaying/Kate Bush arms in slower or more passionate songs. 5) The kick but not really a kick because you bend your knee really quickly towards the end of it. 6) The OTT look of pain/heartache/love/loss when you're sitting on the ground or facing upwards towards the ceiling. Works well in conjunction with the head/air grabbing. 7) Broken lines - an excuse you can make if you're not flexible enough to straighten your leg fully. ETA: OMG how could I forget: 8) Running really fast and then just stopping and staring off into space. So deep. Wow, that actually isn't much Last Edited By: Dan Down Under 05/28/09 10:53 AM.

Posts: 2280 (05/28/09 10:48 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	That was an interesting show last night. I wonder if we will have any siblings on the show. I think hip-replacement girl and her sister Megan would be the most likely. Hippy was stunning! The twins might make it for the 'wow, they're twins' factor. The brothers wont both make it. And did I catch Nigel saying that Evan is too short to dance with the tall girls? So how many do we have from top 40 last year? Asuko Evan Nathalie Brandon Salsa ballroom girl (she HAS to make it) and as an aside, I think her partner Romulan?, is the hottest male ballroom dancer so far. So good chance that we could have 5 or more returning dancers make it to top 20. At the very least Brandon and Nathalie are in (barring any injuries).

If Evan gets cut for that reason then there will be hell to pay. Surely they can find someone closer to his height.
