So You Think You Can Dance

ZOMG

I love this show. Pasha and Sara's performance totally blew me away last night, that has GOT to be the BEST routine I have ever seen on this show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66gMPD6wl_8

Sabra and Dominic were HOT too... loved their performance... the freeze they do is awesome!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y83UXc81h2o


... and I accidently found out who wins this season.

 

I must admit I'm sucked in by this as well.

Dont tell anyone though.

Your secret is safe with me.

I love this show too and I also accidently found out who wins :/

I loved that Jazz performance last night!!

Yeah, that was pretty good too! I'll find a clip once youtube stops being a piece of crap.

I won't be able to see it anyway, work blocked youtube

I liked most of the dances last night, except for the Waltz .. thought that was boring.

Stupid work 

Last night was a pretty good show. I'm glad Cedric finally got his ass kicked off though... I can't tell if his own style of dancing is good or not... he annoys me for some reason.

he reminds me of Urkel


the other thing is that the only chick with titties on the show is a fanta pants. darn 55378008 dancers!!

 

They are much better together than they were with their old partners, so glad neither of them went last night because I want to see what else they can do as a team!

I loved hawke and whoevers hummingbird and flower rountine last week... it was absolutely brilliant choreography 

yeah that was HOT!! don't see how it was jazz tho?  i like that guy

 I has the misfortune of seeing this once at my parents.

 Probably the only worse show I have seen is Are You Smarter Than A 5 Year Old.

I dunno... Sara and Neil did a fantastic disco routine! But they do go very well together 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBe8J6tXdd0

Here's Lauren and Neil's jazz routine from last night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oVgG5vpP1o

That was stunning choreography, I do agree 





Edit: As a rule, I don't like contemporary, but this performance was awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9byc7HZv5Q

you stole the saying 'fanta pants' saying from me! 

use it and share it

spread the word

"children, keep away from the ginger nut boy at school, he is a fanta pants"

my fav show atm no doubt!  Bit disappointed with last nights stuff though…

If I had three months prep I would audition! Haha auditioning in Adelaide this Sunday!

Yeah tis my fav show but I never get to watch as thursday is production day - I only found out last week it was coming - I have no time to sort out a min and half routine lol although I may go along and audition for the fun of it and the experience and get redy for next year...

I think the partnering would piss me off the most………. Oh and the ballroom!  Haha
Done everything but Ballroom… why did they have to include it!
 

My fave routine was a few weeks ago where the couple had to dress kind of weird and do a charlie chaplin style dance thing ( I don't even know how to describe it !! ) I think they started off with newspaper in their hands.

I think its called "The Charleston" dont quote me on that tho

You're not honestly trying to claim the fanta pants saying as your own?

Its as old as the ginger strain I tells ya.

I've done minimal ballroom - only thing i haven't done is tap lol

Now all you fanta pants get outta the thread and stop choking it lol

go try out and do some german bootslappin jig!

Over here it is Are you smarter than a 10 year old. Man Australians are stupid.

 

Jeff Mills? Ritchie Hawtin?

 Its actually Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader here, so thats about the same I guess.

 People are stupid though i agree

or as old as fanta

I agree. Terrible show.




BTW it's 5th grader, not 5 year old. 5th graders would be about 10 years old I guess.

 

Nah I just heard it for the first time the other day and now ive claimed it for my own. 

brought tears to my ears hearing that one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99fi_xnAreE

This guys a fair good dnb dancer
 kind of off topic though

can i ask what makes it terrible?

The dancing itself is pretty fkn cool

Thats what I was thinking. You don't see too many bad performances on there especially considering a lot of the people are going well out of their comfort zones each week.

And the eye candy is so much better than the trolls that seem to do well in Aussie Idol each year.

I just think its shit. It's un-entertaining to me. Each to their own. :shrugs:

Sabra's damn good for a noob!

I thought I'd hate the show because dancing as a performance seems weird to me, but I actually find it more entertaining than I expected. You get to see the individuals stand out and extend themselves rather than just a group of backup dancers.

Some dancers show a level of athleticism that I've never ever seen before... they could balance on one finger if they wanted to 

I missed Sabra's dance tonight 

I saw sabra's but I'm missing everyone elses coz I'm typing this... gotta goooo......

i missed the whole show tonight

me too

I saw the stupid host chick walking down rundle mall on tuesday. SOOOOOOO much makeup and fake smile... ew

I missed nearly all of the show last night. Hmph.

You didn't miss much, it was a boring show, the dance styles they were given seemed like the stupid ones! Hopefully next week might be better. I think a girl might win this series because they seem to have evicted a lot of the interesting male dancers

Bye bye Hawke..... he was crap a lot but occasionally he was great!

:jazzhands:

I miss it every week and I am a dancer - I lvoe the show but yeah - no time!

Bring on the Aussie version i say - know a few peeps who got in to the second round so hopefully they got through... I had no time to try out Might try and get it sorted though in case it comes back over next year 

Man I loved Lauren & Pasha's hip hop routine last night, the transformers bit at the start was awesome!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6D4hUqhxVQ

I love Neil, he has to be my favourite, also Lacy & Danny's Samba was so HOT!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7a7tjOsGqs

I accidently missed the whole show last night.

*kicks self*

Damn, they had some good dances last night, and some pretty crappy ones too.

Kameron & Jaime left, but you already know who wins

havent been able to watch any of the season, been too busy..something had to give

Go Sabra GO!

The others are all good dancers so I don't like her chances 


... hey I just made a rhyme 

I keep forgetting this is on!!!!!!! I've not seen an episode for WEEKS 

Sabra's good, but i think the other chick should win!!!

  Go Sabre! I loved her and I am just so happy that she won

how shit was that dance with Nigel and Kat? Boooooooo!

I am so glad I got to see some of the hot routines that I missed. The Samba routine with Lacey 

So sad it's over... the australian one better be good...

oh i missed the samba routine *searches youtube*

i loved that brian gaynor robot dancer man

Bryan Gaynor on SYTUCD

Lacey & Danny's samba rountine was better the first time they did it, but it is such a hot routine.

I also love Lauran & Pasha's Hip Hop routine

I wanted Neil to win

Seen the extended ads for the aussie version?
I did get a little flutter of excitement in my tummy.
Better be good or I'll cry.

Yeah!!

Can. Not. Wait.

it looks awesomely bad! how funny is the girl who runs off sobbing! toughen up i say

Getting pretty sick of the ads for this show fuck...

anyone know when it starts? i would hate to miss it

I heard this was starting Feb 3 and then i also heard feb 10th! anyone know for sure? 

Nothing to do with the TV show, but I did a reggaeton dance class  tonight. It was fun. I learned moves like 'the jiggy', 'the slam dunk', & "the thunder clap" & "the butterfly". Hopefully next week I'll learn "the lawnmover" & "big fish - little fish". 

haha, i hope all those moves involved shaking n jiggling ur ass! woo! reggateon

    

no cardboard box?



imo the shopping trolley is better than the lawnmower, however both pale in comparison to the sprinkler... that truly is a timeless manouvre...

This Sunday people!!

Fat losers then Dance.

oh yeah!

thats a fav of mine!

IT'S ON NOWWWWWWWW 

Was about to post the same thing! 


Angel = 

Good luck getting anyone to watch with the cricket on.

Hell Yeah.

Tim and I are watching. Love it!

its awesome fun!!

cant wait to see the adelaide audition i take it, that will be on next week?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA, that was hilarious!!

How awesome was Caleb?? I think they should have made an exception for him, he was pretty amazing for a 15 year old!

SO what happened with the Adelaide auditions? Are they on tv tomorrow? I hated how the showed half the audition outcomes from sydney, argh!

Pretty good so far tho

I think they're showing the rest of the auditions tomorrow, babe!

Can someone tell me in advance what channel and time this is on? I haven't been in Adelaide for 3 months but need something entertaining to watch when I get back next weekend... This looks like it'll fit the bill.

Its on Channel ten Tonight I think at 7:30? The show looks wicked.. already showing how much talent.. and zero talent Australia have! Anyone seen the 15 yr old guy? Amazing dancer! I am very excited about this show. But anyone know what they win in the end?

Btw. Nathalie (that host lady) she actually annoyed me !!

watched it last night.

was pretty well done i reckon.

natalie bassingthwaite hosting it is a great marketing ploy too. fair chance the uk would pick this up after her fairly long stint she had with neighbours...

I love this show.

Can't wait to watch tonight

Me & Troy did some pretty cool dancing last night we should have tried out.

haha the adelaide one is tops!

and the breakdancing lesbian, i knew her when i lived in melbourne! usedta break with her friends at laundry when they did hiphop and funk on monday nites. $1 pots of coopers ftw!

i am glad she is through, her girlfriend chucked a massive wobbly SUCKED IN!

 I am so in love with this show.

I think that Natalie does a pretty good job at hosting. She is a very warm character.

Adelaide didn't really pull through with the goods. But then nothing much does after that crazy 15 yo last night. 

There seem to be way more hiphop & breakers than there were on the US one. Some of the kids are just craaazy some of the tricks they were pulling.

I don't know if it was a tad of terrible Tuesday kicking in early or not but there have been bits that sure have tugged on the heart strings!

i wasnt heaps impressed by the adelaide standard... its so funny that adelaide is renowned for being stuck in a time warp dance wise. most dance school's still use 80's music and moves to some degree  i hope they can compare ok to say sydney and melb dancers..  will be interesting to see though..  i do love it when the hip hop guys do their thing!

Haha well it wasn't a big weekend for Nalani and I, and we were both getting all "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

its a family show courtney

Troy was doing ballet

checkit!
http://soyouthinkyoucandanceaustralia.blogspot.com/

also, the thread over at ITM is GOLD. apparently sydney has a dance step, to rival the melbourne shuffle. they've called it...

The Gang-bang dance!

its awesomely retarded. more on it here!

so, who is going for the pole dancers? they rock!!! did any of em get through? Hope so!!!

One got through I think.

Love all the B-Boys

And those two guys who did Crump last night were awesome.

Can't wait to see the top 100 is it on Sunday night?

yeah we have some great b-boys huh!!!

hmm i think it is on sunday nite...lemme check...

yep, 730-910pm

Yay!!

That guy who walked out last night ... damn his body

I missed it tonight!

It was on tonight 

are you sure...?

Oh, I thought it was on every night....  

nah just sunday and wednesdays isnt it?

bring on next week, mmm sexy abs n boys

Oooh yeah

I love Hilton I think he is the best dancer.

Can't wait to see the top 20 tonight.

missed last nite! heard it was just a load of people dancing badly and crying tho

Man, they should name it "So you think you can cry" Seriously though, everyone has a sob story, and some are sad but others are ...

Anyway, love the B Boy with all the piercings too.

The Krump/Pop routine was cool too.

missed last nights show. will have to d/l that one and tonights and watch them in order.

bollocks that i am capped too, but only till late today sometime

man i love this show

that used to be khem's avatar too.

They definitely focus on the Top 20 from the start, don't they. There were so many peeps in the top 100 that barely got 15 seconds of fame.

I am still getting choked up though every night... like when the cute little Philipino signed to her deaf sister that she was in the Top 20. Man oh Man.

teh deaf sister is in the top 20? or the talented filipino chica? i usedta break with her in melbourne

its too wah for me, gave up on it tonite...i am surprised i lasted that long really!! but yesh, the cute breaker with piercings...mmm asian hiphop boys

I've really been struggling to get into this... too much blah blah, too much of the judges and too much wah wah.... not enough dancing. Gosh, the judges really annoy the pants of me.

I enjoyed the American version a lot more.

agreed. Stop crying and fkn dance already

Isn't he awesome

Most of my favourite boys got in, I love Hilton, Rees & JD

Seriously though, too much crying. It will be heaps better now the auditions are over and the real dancing begins.

Can't wait

Me and my sister renamed it "So you think you can cry? ", was a tad annoying towards the end I must say.

edit- just seen your post further down Courtz, good to see everyone else agrees.

These are my favourite auditions

Carlo's Audition:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wseKuYhm8mw

Hilton's Audition:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZSrj3P91tA

Khaly's Audition:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFCpmkA7l-o

im a fan gettin right into it. damn so many hotties too

Couldn't agree more Simmo

Specifically (I think) Gemma & Rhiannon

agreed.

the crying is annoying though.

i like it theyre going for it and it shows in their emotions.

im more worried bout those 2 fags kissing eachother yesterday after one of em got booted.

yeah theyre were WTF looks here at labrina with that too.


does anyone else think one of the judges looks like a cross between sting and rod stewart?

I totally hate that guy.

I think all 3 of the judges have been pleasant and reasonable so far... unlike the wankers they get to judge Idol!!!

fair call. although i don't know about the validity of some of the tears that are shown.


yep. and the other one looks like a cross between JT and Eminem (with aids).

agreed. As soon as the camera zooms in......


" I went to the store, and they didn't have any apples"

*Tears*

 oh my... the girl finalists... Laura from SA

the dancing was good too

Yay! It was great tonight. They pretty much follow the American formula to the T, don't they (not

I have big crushes on heaps of the top 20 so can't pick my favourites yet. I like most of them! Hilton & Khaly definitely stand out to me

Hardly any tears either 

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Khaly got voted off    I liked him!
 
As if they booted him and not Henry, Henry's crap!

Glad Courtney got booted too though, she wasn't that great of a dancer imo.

barely average imo

crayfish-great body, shit head

Agreed, there's def MUCH better!!!
Gemma for instance

i will say tho - i posted that before the 20yr old brunette came out.. maybe thats Gemma - brunette > blonde any day

No no no, Rhiannon is hawt.....

Yes, yes she is... little 18yr old half asian brunettes FTW!!!!


Yeah that sounds like her. Fairly tall with a stud in her nose (which mind you, is fuckin sexy as).

its bullshit that those three guys were in the bottom three couples, cos they are three of the top blokes in the comp IMO.

shock and silence fell across the house as Khali was told he had to go.

fuckern bullshit!

I can't watch it. The dancing and choreography is nowhere near as good as that in the American show.

Yeah I agree the choreography has been pretty average at this stage… but I do however agree with who left.. is it Courtney? I didn’t like her style and although Khali is a mad break dancer his skills in the other style wasn’t that great….

I hope they raise the standard a little more!

 The great thing about this conp for me is  that even the winner is still only a dancer at the end of it.

 If they are lucky they might get a spot in the background of Shannon Noll's next video.

 For me it's a medium that lacks credibility. IMO of course.

I liked the girl with the leopard print underpants   

I agree that dancing lacks credibility, but then you see an exceptionally talented dancer and you've got to respect their skills! Haven't seen any of those in the top 20 though...

Disagree, the really tall guy (the gymnast type dude, can't remember his name) is fucking nuts!!!
It isn't normal for a guy to be able to move like that!!!

And quite a few of the chicks are excellent (imo) in their preferred styles.


Agree about the 2 who got booted. Courtney just reminded me of a cheerleader.

exactly dave 


Lacking credibility doesn’t sit right with me, but that’s because I love it, and i have a totally different outlook on dance most probably…

Its all mainly to open doors for the dancers and also give more awareness to everyone in Australia about dance and the different forms…  to a dancer and lover of the art form it has a lot of credibility. Pretty much we would admire their dedication and also the amount of guts and hard work it would take to do this show… and in the end the best dancer wins… there is so much more opportunity then a music video, as some of them aint commercial dancers.. There are touring stage shows here and overseas, Broadway and also dance companies….

I think the boys are definitely better then the girls, some of the girls I think are brilliant but the boys are more talented, in my opinion.

Hilton is amazing, and I think Henry is amazing too.

*salsa's out*

Khaly's solo last night was awesome, but he had to go.

Hopefully Demi is gone next week, or Laura, the two weakest girls left.

I heart Rhys as well

You have obviously never seen a Meryll Tankard performance.

Amazing.

Demi! 

10/10 for me!

I thought last night was pretty crap.

I loved Henry!! He was so good at the Animation Hip Hop.

I also liked Rhys & Gemma's Jazz routine.

Stephanie is a pain, and JD needs to go, he looked pretty arkward.

Besides that, nobody really stepped up, or it could just be the choreography.

Eh.

Henry is hot...I think I have a crush on him!

He is pretty hot I must agree.

Vanessa is annoying .. her voice

i think the choreography is nowhere near on par with US.

natalie basingthwaite is annoying me a lot.

vanessa must be missing somekind of vital part in her voicebox.

none of the couples seem to be pulling off the lifts like they should be. they either fail and cant make it all the way up, or it just looks really awkward.

that said, they all still shit over anything i could even dream of doing so i still like watching it.

Big difference in standard compared to the yanks. Look at when they release the lifts(CLUNK,*pause* ok your down safe cool, 1 2 3, 1 2 3.....)


Being the godfather of dance that i am and all

Was that an attempted walk off by Kassy after she was told her & Graeme are in the bottom 3? 

OMFG! Are the judges on drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As if they voted out Hilton!

I'm kinda glad they ditched hilton. he was super cool but unfortunately its a dancing comp and he's definately not the best there.

Natalie B is peeving me off a bit. She really isn't very good at the ab lib.

Super sad that Hilton is gone. I thought he would've made it a lot further. I really enjoyed watching him

And Kassy seems like a beautiful person as well as dancer. She absolutely sparkles on camera.

Maybe not too many people are voting?? They seemed to try to encourage more voting throughout the duration of the show..

I totally disagree with letting Hilton go.. he was a gifted dancer imo! JD is really good, but only within his style.. I hope he does grow but Hilton had the goods.

Very sad Kassy went , but her solo was horrible!

It was!!

I'm so pissed off about Hilton, the judges are idiots. I thought this competition was about strong dancers, JD while very good at Hip Hop, is not a strong dancer across all areas, I didn't feel anymore emotion from his performances then Hiltons.

I think they are going to realise next week what a mistake they made, Hilton was easily one of the best male dancers.

I'm just glad Henry is still there

I knew Kassy was gone when Kate (their favourite) & Rhiannon were in the bottom 3.

Stephanie should have gone though, I hate that mole

American version definitely kicks our ass though.

Ah I wish i watched this more closely last night.

So what was the deal, did the bottom 3 give bad solo's?

Hell yeah. none of the solos were very impressive. they all came out and did the same thing they did at the audition. None of them showed any growth in their solo. Hilton is a good dancer but his solo was almost boring, mainly because I've seen him spin and flip before and thats 90% of his routine. Plus getting rid of someone that popular gets everyone voting$$$$$

sounds like a psydonem you give yourself before you have a bat.

 

lmao

Oh god that was devastating. Jd and Rhiannon...oh I felt for them.

man tonight has been rather disappointing

they are all saying 'no lifts, no lifts'

if they were able to do them, they'd be hoping for them.

the crumping was woeful

crumping in general is woeful.

double post but


WORST ROUTINE EVER

whats with whats-his-face judge guy all of a sudden being blunt and sort of nasty. maybe the ratings are shit and they are tryna give it an australian idol/dicko feel.....

its good with a bit of honey but Krumping when done well is dope

yeah, I'm not hip to that jive

My god, how annoying was that judge from America, Mary Murphy!

But I did like how she owned that blonde haired male judge!

wouldnt mind stuffing her huge gob with a serving of shut-the-fuck-up-face-fucking

i'd make her gag for hours on end, balls and all

poor JD and Rihannon! really dropped the ball there.

I reckon they had better crumping in the try outs than they choreographed for the dancers

Holy fuck, Kurko

Well, I haven't watched this for weeks. I'll be back on board for the next season of American So You Think You Can Dance!

yeah, honestly its been shit. was so amped for it to start but my enthusiasm curbed dramatically when it started.

god i hate that american judge woman, if i had seen her talking to vanessa i think it would have brain my damaged and made my ears bleed

But is it the dancers that are shite or does the problem lie solely with the choreographers???

both

the chore has been average, but the dancers(on a whole) just aren't as good.

i spose if u have 303,552,752million people to choose from compared with 22million which of each i'm sure only a fraction can dance, your gonna get a higher level, so say 2million can actually dance, as opposed to 200,000 - then take out of that who actually enters, and thats the options they have to pick from, the bar is gonna be lower. its like going to Broken hill only for the next Australian idle contestants

OMG JD and Rhiannon survived!

haha good on em, JD better pull his loose shit together though!

imagine so u can think ya can dance, China, then?


be off the fkn chain!

lmfao


wow to spoil it for everyone Gayley!!

Oh oh oh SORRY!

I forgot about the time difference!!


Oh noes!

Forgive me Quazzy?

*spoilers below*

Thats right Hayley.. Remember you're no longer one of us.

IMO the judges got it wrong, again, in regards to which girl got the boot!

Shoot I missed it, who got the boot?


What are you doing in this thread Owl Face?

Anyone???

Marko & Steph.

Thanks Courtz!

 yeah the Crump was bad 

I am happy with who went last night.. but also very happy with the two performances from Vanessa – HOT! & Henry and also Graeme and Kate’s contemporary piece.. Beautiful!
Seems they’re all starting to get better and bringing in more talented choreographers!

Yeah vanessa and henry did an awesome performance. henry looks gorgeous with his hair cut.
Alos like kate and graemes performance.

Was a tough call between sar-whats-his-name and JD. i would have got rid of JD first.

JD should have gone in my opinion.

Glad Laura is gone, was kind of hoping Anthony would go, his solo was crap, sick of the same old tricks.

I'm in love with Henry

They must see some major potential in JD we all don’t, he is a good choreographer and his style suits him but yeah not sure how much longer will be last.. but I am glad anthony went he is too much of an aerobics man 

anthony didn't go

Nope I was hoping he would go to be honest, like Megz said, he is all aerobics and thats really it, he's boring.

I loved Seramsah's solo last night.

  oops.. he is the one i wanted to go!

on another note.. I am loving their group performances!

Bout time there was some good performances on this show.

JD should have gone. He is balls.

Anthony looks like he has a broomstick up his arse and has his big gay smile on all the time, but at least he can learn his choreography. He will go next week hopefully.

Has Rhys ever fucked up anything on this show? He is by far my favourite as he has stood out so much more than any other dancer. I doubt he has ever had ONE negative comment on this show EVER!

On a side note, he stars in a kids show called The Fairies on 7 I think at about 1030am weekdays, and he is an elf. It is so gay.

Jesus that's who I was watching this morning, lol, hilarious.

OMG I would like to do bad bad things to Henry 

gosh you aren't the only one! OMG FINE!!!!!

just quietly, delta sucked.

Meryl Tankard slams So You Think You Can Dance as 'hideous'

ONE of Australia's most respected choreographers has slammed Network ten's show So You Think You Can Dance, saying its "hideous".

Former Australian Dance Theatre director Meryl Tankard says the performances on So You Think You Can Dance Australia are so awful they shouldn't even be considered dance.

"It's like a fast-food version of dance," she said today.

Although conceding the popular show had increased public awareness of the artform, Tankard urged people to go to the theatre if they wanted to see real dance.

"It's a hideous show, I think it's just terrible," Tankard told AAP.

"It's good I guess that it gets people thinking about dance, but it's not really dance.

Now a world renowned choreographer, Tankard began her career as a dancer with the Australian Ballet in 1975,

Her latest production, Sydney Dance Company's Inuk 2, will premiere on March 29.

Tankard also questioned what the contestants would get out of the TV series, hosted by Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and if it would help their careers.

"It's a reality show, it's not a dance show," she said.

"They have those poor kids up all night and they get tired and they cry.

"I don't even know where those sort of dancers dance."

Tankard rejected offers to work on the show, which has been a ratings winner for a Ten, drawing in up to 1.8 million viewers.

Tankard admitted she watched the show and said it could have been improved by being less competitive with more money put into "good dancing".

"It'd be nice if we could connect more," she said.

"I realise that people when they see it love dance, and I think well god, come to the show because you're going to love it.

Tankard, who has produced work for the Nederlands Dans Theater, Lyon Opera Ballet, also worked on the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony.

Her first version of Inuk 2, described as a tribal dance for the 21st century, recently took out the main award at the International Summer Festival in Hamburg.



 
I could say that Merly Tankard is extremely old fashioned in the way of dance.. but i also see her point



 

I cant wait for this show to hurry up and end! Stupid shows like this take up way too much prime time.
Australian idol is one of them and it drags on for far too long. I watched the first couple of shows and then it just started getting boring.
The auditions are the only thing half worth watching I reckon

But you can't say that this is anywhere near as bad as Idol!!!

I consider them in the same class

  No fucking way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't seen it in a few weeks, but I was well happy to see Rhiannon still in & I got to see Gemma dance in one of the sexiest dresses on the planet

Agreed.

One question who da fuk are you talking about 

LAME!

So disappointed in you Dave-o

Rhiannon sucks. Her solo's are crap. She just looks like a five year old making stuff up on the spot. And could she STOP wearing her trackies and shit so low? Her stomach/hips are gross.

Oh Lexy.

 

There is def nothing gross about her!!!

More than anything the show is gross

Her stomach looks like a mans stomach .. she has that V shape thing going on.

Now Jemma & Kate have way better stomachs.

Except for the fact that Meryl Tankard is one of the most brilliant and creative choreographers Australia has ever seen.

Hmm Rhiannon is hot ..sorta..but I agree her solo's suck ass. Her stomach is flat AND bloated at the same time. hahaha Oh shut up Hayley, you're getting bitchy! 

Wouldn't mind having more than a fair go at Rhiannon. Then again I do have a thing for chicks with squinty eyes that aren't Asian. And small chicks.

On a tech note, dancers in Tankards productions practice for months in the ensemble on the one piece and perform it dozens of times over about a year, sometimes even more. How can you compare SYTYCD to something like that? It's like comparing a draft sketch of the Sistine Chapel to the finished work of art.

Another rare thing we can agree on

'So you think you can dance' being compared to Meryl Tankard, its like comparing actual smelly foul shit with beautiful sparkling diamonds IMO (with 'So You Think You Can Dance' being in the shit end of the spectrum of course)

No comparison in my eyes

Some of the dances I have seen I have actually been embarrassed for the dancer! Same as with Australian Idol! Get off the stage!

Nothing worse than seeing an unrefined entertainer. I mean, hell give em props for trying, but I think it is a load of shit to make someone learn a song or a dance in a high pressure situation (in a week) and then make then perform in front of millions. What a crock! Gives no justice to the entertainer, the piece or the actual talent

I like to watch the arts for its beauty and actually be swept away with a piece, and something that actually reflects the effort and heart which is put into a piece. Not watch something that has been mechanically processed just for a week and churned out for ratings.

Booooo!

Plus these shows get boring after a while. There is only so much Rogue traders one can take.

I think that these shows make true performers cringe

... And then get judged on that performance.
 
There is some seriously crap choreography on SYTYCD.

I have actually been suckered in to watching this over the last few weeks and there have been some great performances - the african something dance Vanessa and Henry did was pretty awesome... but most of it is POOP.

I don't understand why the judges are constantly blown away with Rhiannon's solo's when it's not much more than stomping around the stage, throwing herself about and making strange movements with her arms. She's crap. However, I did think she was quite good in the piece with Henry the other night... again, BUT... the music for the dance was crap and Henry crying throughout the judge's opinions was annoying. If he was truly that moved, then pull yourself together and have a cry when you get off stage OR it was totally fake - and it looked fake IMO.

Wah wah wah. I fail to see what being on the show is going to do for any of the loser's careers.

I suppose it's more about the exposure & the experience for them.
As well as learning other styles they might not ever have considered.

Yeah.

That and picking up.

 

There all lame compared to the American dancers

fixed

Thanks khem... I was feeling weird about having to correct my husband's spelling of the word "dancers" 

edit - damn that motherfucker edited his post 

Yeh all that SYTYCD deserves is a huge acronym like SYTYCD!

Sucked in!

 

 

everytime Kate and Rhys perform it turns to gold! the rumba was beautiful

but the group dances were average imo the girls were really bad and the boys, loved the concept but not enough dancing.

Rhys FTW .. or Jack.

So glad Vanessa & Grahame went.

I still miss Henry

I am really happy with the final four.. the group dance was wicked too!
I have a sudden love for Kate! But the lads definitely rock it!

The opening routine tonight was hot, hot, hot!!

Go Jack.. Deserving winner.. even though if Rhys won I would say the same thing

Laura and Anthony’s disco routine was shocking.. I couldn’t watch it!

The group dances were awesome.. Especially when the judges came out and busted a move.. Gold!!
 

happy jack won. easily the best dancer.

rhys was good but was only ever going to win because of all the make-up he wears and how he acts when he's not dancing i think.


thank god i don't have to watch demi anymore either. should not have even made the top 10.

Agreed on all counts.

Can't really split Rhys and Jack, hey! I wanted Rhys to win cos he was my fave in the top ten, but Jack slipped by me unnoticed because I was always so intent on seeing what Demi was up to.

Fucking top dancer though!

Also think that they should have dual winners, female and male. Appels and Oranjes innit.

Agreed.

Laura is fucking shit house. That disco was just full of errors, I'm glad JD & Rhiannon did their Tango again though.

Henry & Vanessa's Samba though is by far the best dance.

Henry shaking his booty

I was hoping Rhys would win, I love him, but Jack is a great dancer.

Jason Coleman dancing made my night, he looked so camp.

Anthony was dancing with a dislocated shoulder, that's why the lift went so horribly wrong. He went to hospital straight after they finished their routine!

Weak!

 

I didn't see Anthony as the problem. I saw it as Laura, she sucks.
