Any fans of the show? Who are u digging this year?

I have notmade the time yet to catch up with it
Who's looking good ?

At this point any of about 10 people can win the show.
There are about 4 more weak links then it gets good.

I like Russell

I love SYTYCD!!!!! I've been a huge fan since season 1.

There are so many good people right now. I'm not crazy about Kevin or Channing right now.


I love love love Eleanor!!!!


I also love Ashleigh, Jacob, Victor, Legacy and Ryan.

I like the show but I'm REALLY disappointed that they did 2 cycles back-to-back this year. I, for one, needed a break and from what I've seen in this 2nd set, so did the choreographers.

IMO the dances have been really, really uninspiring this time around...

I had not thought about it butthe routines are pretty lame this time around. Mia Michaels quit the show which doesn't help.

I did NOT know that... shows you how much attention I'm paying...

I clicked through to catch the "hip-hop" number to that Derulo track last night and I actually MADE THIS EXPRESSION!!!



I think my wife even caught me muttering, "MEH!"

She WAS the show !

I was not pleased when she said she was moving on.....but I do understand.

Damn - I LOVE her ...

I don't understand why they use choreographers to create dances for the dancers. IMO what makes shows like DWTS and ABDC more competitive is that each team has to come up with their own dance, sometimes 2 per week, within certain parameters, styles, or challenges.

As a former dancer, I KNOW how difficult that is. Anyone who's a halfway decent dancer can learn a fully designed routine and execute it, but creating it while learning is really stressful and a test of real talent IMO. Plus the choreographers don't create for every show so they have tons of time to create something. Where's the challenge in that? Needless to say I'm not a fan of this one.

On top of what you said, I often feel that if a choreographer creates something lousy and the dancers have to dance it anyway they get penalized for a lousy routine when it wasn't their concept to begin with... not right IMO

Mach said:

Gurrl, who is that?

I haven't had a chance to check out these dance shows so I don't know who is what

RenHoek said:

True dat!

One of the few eps I watched that Sparks dude that's a judge on ABDC choreo some bullSHIT. Even during rehearsals I was like, "That's some busted ass shit!"

Of course they had to perform it, and were torn up by the judges.

Last week on DWTS, Miya's partner was having major problems incorporating a 70s theme into their Samba and you saw the struggle, conflict and doubt in the process. So when they killed it in the performance you got a real appreciation for how far they'd come. That's what makes it so interesting IMO.

Plus, that futuristic paso doble that Derek Hough came up with is prolly one of the best pieces of choreography I've seen on that show. Which says a lot considering that he just had swine flu and had to come up with two dances for that show.

SCNDLS said:

I disagree. This show is for creating professionals who dance in the business. Pros have choreographers.

An incredible Modern Dance Choreographer

SCNDLS said:

This show CRUSHES those other dance shows by a country MILE.

SCNDLS said:

That shit was just off the hook incredible

There is another choreographer who is in jail 4 rape.
I can't think of his name but he taught that Latin dance style.

Graycap23 said:

Nope, not buying it This one seems more geriatric or something

Graycap23 said:

MOST dancers are expected to choreograph tho. You don't think that all those great choreographers that started dancing with Michael and Janet just fell into choreographing do you? When you audition for dance jobs best believe they're also checking to see what your choreography experience is not just dance ability. The expectation is that dancers on a professional level are able to contribute to the choreography, if needed. Broadway and Vegas-type shows are different, but most other dance gigs expect dancer/choreographers.

I can't stop thinking about that shit more than a week later.

Graycap23 said:

I thought you said it was making them pros

Graycap23 said:

Neither was I. She has actually moved me to tears with her choreography.

SCNDLS said:

Every show has it's on format. What is confusing about that?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Okay. Can I say how much I dislike that choreographer with the stupid pink giant headphonese. WTF. I really don't like her choregraphy either.

Graycap23 said:
