'So You Think Can Dance' axes results shows.

(I do not like Tyce's work 90% of the time.)

Did anyone see that Travis Wall has his own show on Oxygen coming out? All the Right Moves. From what I can gather its about a new dance company he's founded. Starting the end of July after the Glee contest show.

Hope that doesn't mean he wont be choreographing for SYTYCD.

I wonder if Spencer Liff will be back since he's back working on Smash?

[beautywickedlover]

Last night's episode was very enjoyable. This is a very impressive group of contestants and it was great way to celebrate the 200th episode.

[ucjrdude902]

I like the male and female winner format.

[dramamama611]

I liked Tyce's choreography last night -- guess that mean I will dislike anything else he does for the rest of the season.

I have often found that when he does contemp. I like his work. It's his b'way choreo that I dislike.

And it was so wonderful to have Mia back!!! (Although she looked really odd -- has she been ill? It looked like she had a bad wig on, which made me wonder if she has been battling cancer.)

[ucjrdude902]

If she's been ill she's a fighter cause I know she basically did all of Rock Of Ages.

I enjoyed last week's performance show and I looking forward to tomorrow's. Here is a blog from Mary.


Mary Murphy on 'SYTYCD': Catching up on this season

[EricMontreal22]

I really enjoyed it too, though I admit, I found Tyce's Broadway routine as lacklustre as most of his Broadway choreography (at least this time he didn't rip off a better, famous Broadway routine as he has in the past, I suppose). To give him credit, I do like the occasional contemporary pieces he does MUCH better, and sometimes pretty great. I mean Nappy/Tab showed much more character and story in their pieces than he does in his Broadway numbers.

I also am a big fan of the male/female winner format--and the fact that people don't vote for their fave couple but their fave individual dancers from the start. Seems a lot more fair. Will be interesting to see how the show works tomorrow with the elimination combined in, though I think it was the smart way to go.

Thanks for the link to the blog!~

It stinks that the show will not be on for another two weeks. understand that they do not want to compete against the Olympics, but I remember that season 4 did air while the 2008 Bejing Olympics were going on. But I guess times are different now. In the meantime, the show won the Televsion Critics Assciation Award for Outstaing Reality Progamming.








Television Critics Association awards go to 'Breaking Bad,' 'Cheers,' 'Game of Thrones,' 'Downton Abbey' and more

[EricMontreal22]

Honestly, two weeks seems like a long time--I remember it airing in the past during the Olympics too, and I'm not sure how much of their audience would be missing for a two hours show. But I suppose if Days of Our Lives fans can go without their fix for two weeks...

I'm kinda mixed now on the new restults/voting format. I still prefer cramming it into one show, without all the filler, but, for example with last week, it seemed unfair that the dancers booted off did one of the better routines that week, but audience votes had already been cast (granted, the judges kept their performance in mind, but still...). But I'm glad to see it win best reality program (and very glad Cat finally got nominated for an Emmy as best host, it was bizarre how she kept on being ignored in the past).

[beautywickedlover]

^ She actually got a nomination last year. This is her second year in a row to get a nomination.

[EricMontreal22]

Ah well, see how in touch I am? Still, she had better win. (Especially since Fox saddled her with that dismal dating "celebrity" game as well--how embarassing).

[dramamama611]

Saddled her? She isn't chattel, they can't just force her to do a second show.

I'm sure she's getting well paid.

[EricMontreal22]

Oh of course she is, and earlier in her career she did some awful stuff in the UK. I wasn't being fully sewrious, though I did read that it was part of her contract for getting an hour less of SYTYCD, Fox had an easy option to get her to do another show for them due to contract issues (but again, I doubt she was forced).

It anyone watching Oxygen's "reality" show All The Right Moves? It's not bad, though obviously somewhat scripted (it's paired with The Glee Project), and stars Travis Wall, Nick (the pre-Cat season one winner who I had kinda forgotten about but is, according to the show, Travis' best friend), and Teddy and Kyle who apparently are sometimes dancers on Dancing with the Stars (which I've not seen enough of to recognize them), living together and forming a dance company. By no means brilliant, but as far as those kinds of shows go, I'm enjoying it. One random comment, is a fair amount of drama is based on the fact that Travis and Nick are openly gay and the other two are straight (as well as Travis still being close to his high school girlfriend, etc), which is nice to see after SYTYCD used to go so far out of their way to make the dancers seem straight (something that has improved the past few seasons--Nigel seems less terrificed of doing anything where the men don't meet his definition of masculine).

Tonight each of the seven pairs of dancers will be performing one of Mia Michaels's routines from the previous seasons. Mia talks about it here.






'So You Think You Can Dance': Mia Michaels previews tonight's tribute episode to her

[beautywickedlover]

I am recording the season finale right now. I really enjoyed this season. It was one of my favorite seasons. Some of my favorite moments were watching Alex Wong dance again and seeing Mia return to choreograph.

[supportivemom]

I am so happy for the winners! VERY WELL DESERVED! Both girls are from Florida! South Florida really knows how to turn out great dancers- wish they brought some of that up to NE Florida!

[DottieD'Luscia]

For once the dancers I voted for won! I would have been happy with either guy, though.

[beautywickedlover]

Eliana and Keon are both deserving winners. Cograts to both of them!

[StockardFan]

They are the 2 I though should win as well.

[EricMontreal22]

So glad about who won--and that Nigel's increasingly obnoxious statements to rig voting backfired (ie last week he went on about how he wasn't voting for Cyrus, over and over,to try to get people to vote for Cyrus...)

[Blockhead24]

I wanted the other girl to win

[supportivemom]

It was so tight between the last two girls. They were both great! Like what Tiffany alluded to, they didn't show her much at the beginning so voters didn't get her story. I hate that part of these shows- so manipulated.

[EricMontreal22]

They really are. Dance in many ways seems better than other contest/reality shows in terms of manipulation--but the auditions really are badly edited for that (as are, like I said, Nigel's comments. Seriously, if he wasn't the creator/producer of the show, he could never get away with some of his comments).

[doodlenyc]

I didnt think the competition was even close for the girls. Eliana was brilliant every week, imo. So glad she won, even tho Tiffany was quite good and seemed very sweet, Eliana deserved it. She goes into my all time favorite file with Sabra, Jeanine and Melanie.

I was also glad Chehon won, but didnt expect it since Cyrus was never in the bottom and that jackass Nigel was clearly trying to manipulate the vote. I still think George was the better dancer, tho.

Fun season though, and Tyce is such a tool.

[Mister Matt]

Very happy with the winners. I thought Daniel went home WAY too soon and was barely in the finale performances. I could watch him all day every day. And I was stunned Witney didn't make the final. I thought she was fantastic, especially that swag hip-hop routine with Twitch, which was one of my favorites of the season. She's pretty saucy for a Mormon girl.

and Tyce is such a tool.

I dry heave every time he speaks.
