I had never seen that routine with Comfort, and it was amazing. Also, Jasmine! That was happy. And Alex!
The whole thing just seemed like a giant commercial for Knock, Knock, when it could have been a real celebration, with all the former judges coming back and more performances.
I would have loved an hour with all of the past people (contestants and judges both) just sitting in a room watching old clips and talking about them.
All the Seacrestiana in the show pissed me right the hell off and I wanted more choreo and more dancers from more seasons (Hello, Season cast. Why do they hate you so much?) but I got to see Mark from Hawai'i and that will tide me over for a while. I could've done without all of the auditions footage, good and bad, and just seen more dancing. And I also didn't need to see the Top 18 do primarily crappy dance for your life solos to the SYTYCD theme song.
All that said, the opening group number was simply gorgeous and I cried real, ugly cry tears the first time I watched it. Those kids are all so beautiful. I love this crazy show.
OK, I am only now watching the Detroit auditions (I'm thinking I can fast forward through all the non-dancing parts and catch up pretty quick) but it strikes me as a little weird that a professional performing dancer is "Street"
I also love seeing how people who have now been professional dancers for years are better than ever, although it makes the current contestants look shabby. (I think this is often true of the "All-Star" pairings, too.)
And I was so irked at Paula and her "dance like a man" comment. Boy was giving Broadway. It's not supposed to be manly with that music and choreo!! He had a smile on his face and was doing a lot better than the other dudes in his group!!
I just got to this and could not agree more. That was some bullshit, Paula.
Anyone have SYTYCD blog suggestions?
NFNS: I don't understand why Giada and Bobby kept fighting so hard for Dom all season. He should have gone home ages ago.
Totally. I'm glad they didn't keep him again over Eddie (who admittedly had a shitty week).
There's still a chance for Dom to have his miraculous improvement in Star Salvation and get back on the show -- unless Bob and Susie are interested in seeing a woman in the mix.
