We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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.

I was so pissed I pulled up Hok's audition and showed it to my sister immediately. Also, even she could tell that the 2nd guy was better; crisper, cleaner, and actually coordinating his tricks to the music instead of it playing in the background.

Oooo, yay Chbeeb! But BOO D-trix. Hate hate hate him. Off to youtube to find videos of Chbeeb.

He's in a group called I Am Me. I didn't realize it until I watched last night. I usually fast forward through the interviews and commentary, but the caption with his name caught my eye. They're one of my favorite groups this season (the other being the one made up of pre-teen boys, with the pudgy kid dancing his heart out)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I should have talking about the Chbeeb here, because he's doing great. He really has worked to expand his style and it seems like he's a good leader, although of course they're not really billing it that way.

Eee! Lil'C retweeted me! Cause I think he kicks ass.

Also, the roomie watched the last half with me last night, as he hadn't realized it was on. Yay, fellow fan!

FYI, anyone who, like me, has no TV anymore, OMGDance has the most SYTYCD videos, more than Rickey. And none of the "novelty" ones, I don't think. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eee! Lil'C retweeted me! Cause I think he kicks ass.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to get on the twitter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm just catching up this thread since I only watched SYTYCD last night. For the Lady Gaga/Mark performance, here's a hi-def version: [link] Just. whoa.


meara - May 28, 2011 12:28:15 pm PDT #16777 of 23273

Ooh, thanks for the hi-def--I couldn't even tell it was Mark, in the other one! (And I don't watch Idol).

Is it bad that I had heard that Lady Gaga song somewhere before, and somehow assumed it was an old Cher song?
