I got really angry about 2-3 seasons ago when it was pretty clear that many of the people they featured were either (1) wanting to be professional comedians or (2) had serious mental health issues.
Yes. I find it interesting to have an occasional "not quite good enough" just to see what the judges are looking at, and then love the ones that are awesome but not right for the show. But the "this is awful and we find that hilarious!" is NOT on. (This is why I'm going to wait a bit before turning it on, so I can fast forward with the TiVo!)
halfway through there is a man who had a breakdown on stage. Skip him.
smonster, did you know that Cheeb is on ABDC?
This season of ABDC is making me cry. Between having D-trix as a judge and that stupid kid group, I think I'm done with this show.
Oh, I know, Rayne, it's painful! Which is a shame because there were some damn fine dancers this season, who were eliminated to the Bieb effect.
I don't watch the SYTYCD early audition rounds. I just can't take it.
Oooo, yay Chbeeb! But BOO D-trix. Hate hate hate him. Off to youtube to find videos of Chbeeb.
Missed SYTYCD due to power outage. WAH!
Yah, really. Not a single audition blew me away. Some were decent but overhyped (best hip hop dancer we've ever seen? I DON'T THINK SO). Some were painful.
best hip hop dancer we've ever seen? I DON'T THINK SO
no. shit.
that was egregious.
