SYTYCD is coming back, but in a juniors edition.... [link]
FOX has renewed the Emmy Award-winning SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE (SYTYCD) for a 13th season that will feature a younger generation of dancers. This season, dancers between the ages of 8-13, who are skilled in various dance styles, such as contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation or breaking, will be paired up with All-Stars to compete for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer. Premiering Monday, May 30 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, the new season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: THE NEXT GENERATION will feature returning host Cat Deeley and returning judges Nigel Lythgoe, Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo.
I'm weirded out that they will still dance with All Stars. I certainly hope that makes the choreo move even further away from the boring love story?????
Huh. That could be really good or it could be a total trainwreck.
8-year-olds competing against 13-year-olds seems problematic.
Yeah, that...as it is, half the time the dancers seem like they'd be better in a few years with more seasoning. Ugh.
That's true. But MasterChef Junior and Project Runway Junior are both pretty good, maybe they can do whatever works for those with SYTYCD?
It sounds like they are trying to capitalize on the popularity of Dance Moms, maybe? I dunno. I do know there is no way in hell I would let either of my children (9 and 12) be on that show, even if they were good enough dancers.
Oh, you think? I fundamentally do not get Dance Moms.
Ugh. A world of no. This sounds like a rip off of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition which we've already had, sooooo. Yeah, no. I mean, in all likelihood, I will probably watch it anyway because I'll watch almost anything dance related, but I will miss real SYTYCD something fierce and weep for all of the talented dancers who won't be getting their shot on this show now.
If Maddie or any of the other Dance Moms kids show up on this show, I will go HAM.
I discovered I had much stronger feelings about certain American Idol contestants than I thought I did.
Those AI cuts were brutal and incomprehensible. So many non-singing teens got through. Why? I am over here weeping for Jessica Cabral and Collette Lusher. JLo and Harry love them some 15 year olds. I can't.
I watched some of the top 24 performances on vevo and it was interesting to see that vs what they showed. I wish they had shown everything so I could see why they didn't pick some.
I didn't remember Collette but I was surprised by Jessica.
Really didn't care which of the last two guys got through but I coudln't believe they left La'porsha for last. She's one of my favorites and then I watched her performance on vevo and it was so much better than the edit.
My other favorite is Jeneve. She's an odd ball I know but her voice is beautiful and I really like what she did with Ring of Fire.
Whats hername from Panama City. I understand why they cut her, she's not ready but she was so easy on stage and I think that if there were more seasons they'd tell her to come back.
