Oh, man, I want to stay up late and watch SYTYCD in real time! Sadly, I know how hard that would make waking up tomorrow.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've only seen the opening number so far, but it was really lovely. Is Travis the only choreographer who lets boys touch each other??

Not on last night's show.

I would like this Ricky/Zach hiphop number more if they weren't wearing ridiculous low-crotch pants. Or if, y'know, it were different people. (I think I really like the choreo, just...not for these two)
I also feel like Zach and Jessica got a much better deal with the Broadway (which HAS been so much better this year in general, probably due to the prize) than Ricky and Valerie on the African jazz. Oy. I haven't really been a fan, but I liked Jessica quite a bit in the Bollywood and the Broadway numbers.
Hmm--think that "on the town" had something to do with the lack of hiphop folks in the top ten? I'm suspicious.
The lighting on this Katherine/Ricky number is awful. You can barely see him. Which might be an interesting concept if he was the all-star, but no.
I felt like Valerie was outshone by Aaron, while he and Zach weren't so unequal. Possibly that's choreo or guy vs girl but...

When I saw JTF was the guest judge, I was annoyed that it wasn't a dancer, but honestly, I think he's been great, and it's nice to laugh when they all get so fraught.

Srs.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
African jazz
Not a thing. Kill it with fire. Down with Sean Cheesman.
Well, I sometimes like Cheesman but never when he's trying to promote the nonsense that is African jazz.
Haven't seen last night's show yet but I am excited. I really like this F4!

I realized last night one of the things I like best about this season is how excited Ricky gets when he and his partner or the group really nail a piece. He is just so happy, and it seems like it rubs off on the others.

Hah--I also find the costuming to be borderline offensive on many of the "African jazz" pieces. I mean...
