Oh god, I have to be awake again in five hours!

Oh man... so some of you may already be aware that I unabashedly geek out over So You Think You Can Dance. Because these folks can dance, and the choreographers just seem to have a blast with them, and there are so many styles...

But I think I've got a favourite number right off the bat this year. Go watch the video. (Scroll down a bit; it's ( Read more... )

SYTYCD!!

I haven't gotten to the top twenty yet, but we're working our way through episodes. (I am gleefully pleased that you follow...err, wait, is there a simultaneous Canadian version?) Also? Mia Michaels must be cast to the ends of the Earth someday never to choreograph again. *solemn nod*

Whoo, fellow fan! Most excellent! This season seems weirdly high quality.

There is indeed a Canadian equivalent, but they run it when the Americans are in off-season so they don't overlap. We know when not to compete for viewers, yo. ;-D (Mia Michaels' stuff is so hit-or-miss with me! I do love that new choreographer they just got last season though, the gal with the dark mohawky hair and the vests.)

Yeah, did you see that professional ballet guy? Super talented, of course. I was surprised they let him compete.

Ahhhh. Smart! (She just makes me cringe when she talks and when she does those super personally emotional pieces...and other people are forced to critique them...It's like critiquing someone else's memory/experience. I don't know how to quite explain it. She just irks me. I love that new gal too! Sonya? And Tabitha & Napoleon! They're awesome. And I thought some of the guest choreographers that they brought in last year who were previous competitors-- they did pretty damn good.)

(Psst, will you be up for some quick betaing later possibly? I hate to shove this stuff on you last minute...)

The fellow that they couldn't let in because of his contract with the ballet company? Man, I was definitely impressed with him.

(A very good point. There've been a couple of choreographers who've done super personal pieces like that, and it's almost a gimme for the dancers who get it, isn't it? Sonya, that's it! I'm so glad it's a new season... Dancing With The Stars is a tragically weak substitute.)

(Better believe it! I'm caffeinated and ready to rock any time you are! If you give it to me at any point this evening, I'll send it back no later than 12:00 my time. After which point, I shall be sleeping. *g*)

Oh, did they not end up letting him in? I'm woefully behind. That's good though, I think. I mean...hi, already professional dancer! And that kid who was only 17, I'll be looking forward to seeing him next year. :)

(Oh, no comparison! I haven't really watched Dancing with the Stars, but from the sounds of what my co-workers talk about...I don't think I'd like it nearly as much.)

Yay! Super! You're awesome. I shall hopefully get something to you in a couple hours. *crosses fingers*
