Second half:

I have an established hate-on for Josiah. I shall not repeat my statements of contempt.

Danielle was given a completely boring song by Blake. I mean WTF. She has a great voice and you give her THAT song? She made the best of it, but eh.

(how many fucking commercials does "The Voice" have? I feel like I've been watching this ep since yesterday.

I like Sarah's voice a lot, but she still seems tentative on stage. She was better this week though.

I think Usher probably should have given Michelle another song, but she performed it really well. Pink sings the shit out of that song though, so Michelle's voice suffers by comparison.

SYTYCD: Who is this blonde chick with the "saucy" winks and abbreviated movement? What the hell? I saw nothing special.

THANK YOU! did not get that at all.

"How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

LOVE.

Side note: what fresh hell is Mary's hair in Texas? I mean, I know that the bigger the hair, the closer to Gawd, but I wasn't aware that he had an affinity for poodles.

I sought to be spoiled for "The Voice." I think the results are ones I favor.

SYTYCD: Who is this blonde chick with the "saucy" winks and abbreviated movement? What the hell? I saw nothing special.

Yeah, wtf?! Came here to see if I missed something. I actually think it's the editors fucking with us, since she's so obviously Nigel's type.

I was watching SYTYCD. So many people killing me ded with the cuteness.

What happened on The Voice?

The Voice: I agree with who went home, although there are really two or three other people I'd have been equally happy to lose tonight. As others have noted, Shakira's new hair is a no-no. Oh, dear.

SYTYCD

It's dance day. Yay!! Sashay, little jazz babies.

I DVR'ed so I get to post here and pretend I'm watching it live here with all of you because Buffistas make everything more fun. Oh, and there is still a standing invitation for any LA reality TV denizens or people who happen to be in the LA area and want to watch SYTYCD at Casa Kat. The only requirements are a love of dance, hatred of NappyTab, comfort with imperious black cats and imperviousness to extremely yellow living room wall paint.

LA, Day 2

Nicholas “Slick” Stewart - Ugh, I really dislike bone breaking. Nicholas Stewart seems like a cutie, though, despite the unfortunate orange dye job. Well, let’s hope he can bring it. So sad that he moved to LA to find a safer environment. Says a lot about the BK. He probably fits in really well on the boardwalk in Venice. Well, I was glad to see he is more than just a bone breaker. The opening section was great with just the little waves and such and the glides. But . . .oooh, no, once the shirt came off it was just . . . a lot. I’m sure bone breaking is very difficult, but it is just, it’s contortionism, not dance. Very fit for a circus, but . . . how do you choreograph for that? I’m . . . ummm . . . yeah. I appreciate it? I don’t know. Off to choreo with you, sir.

Alex Kessinger – As always, I don’t care that you were abandoned as a kid. Put your dancin’ shoes on. And she’s a blond competition kid who brought along her dance mom. Ooookay. I’m trying to reserve judgement here, kiddo, but you are not making it easy. The beginning of her audition piece was just a whole lot of garbage and vamping. We got sixteen, maybe even twenty four, counts in and she still hadn’t really started dancing yet.Once she started, she had some decent technique. Nice triple turn into a plié in second. All her turns were actually super solid which is always nice to see. Good center. She’s pretty grounded, but she has awful, awful, competition studio habits. Over egging the pudding, as Nigel would say. And the fake smile and flirt with the judges face all the time was killing me. Killing me softly. Ugh, it’s just wrong. Somebody needs to break this girl down right quick. I nominate Miss Debbie Allen.
