I'm going to put this here because of SYTYCD -- I saw a performance of D-Man In The Waters by Bill T. Jones last night, and in a couple of moments, it was like when you see Casablanca for the first time and the famous lines sound like clichés. I bet those moves weren't cliché when Jones made them up!
I wish they'd point out more on the show when the choreographers are referencing dance movements and vocabulary of great choreographers of the past. I mean aside from just pretending like Tasty isn't straight up copying Fosse every time he choreographs Broadway. Nigel does this sometimes, but I wish the other judges would do it more often.
The Voice: I am sad enough about some of the eliminations (like cutie head Hawaiian guy) that I hope they have a season of people who lost out in the battle rounds. That would be cool.
They totally could make a Voice castoffs season. I'd start with the curly haired black girl who didn't get stolen (Jessica?) and go from there. I mean, the Hawaiian kid was a little pitchy, but was he really any worse than the dude with the pierced lip and he got stolen, right? You could also kick in the raspy voiced dude who lost out to Midas Whale last night. Yeah, there was a lot of good talent left by the wayside.
OK, would it be awesome or terrible to do a new round of Blinds with people who've all been picked once?
Terrible! Unless it was from all of the seasons, maybe.
I think it would be AWESOME. Also has any known professional singer punked them during blinds? cause that needs to happen.
There was that party-song guy who sang his own song, but that barely counts. The Cupid Shuffle, I think?
Unless it was from all of the seasons, maybe.
Oh yeah, I meant from all the seasons.
I would love a second chance blind audition round with the best of the best from any season who got knocked out during battle rounds. Especially with Shakira and Usher as judges because lots of those folks would be brand new for them.

But that was just sad because dude sounded terrible and didn't even get anyone to turn their chair around, right? I think it would be hilarious to have X-tina or Cee-Lo come back not as judges again but just as a one off to punk the judges and see who they could get to turn around.
So glad Project Runway turned out the way it did.
