So You Think You Can Dance! dance!.. dance!...


YES. It WAS the premiere of Season 4 last night. And it WAS wonderful! thanks for asking. But before I get started, a shout out to last seasons cast, I loved you all except you two, you know who you are, hah. I miss you and hope this season's can be up to the bar you set.


It was tryouts and lots of people stood out and not all of them in a good way! It was a night full of laughs.

One red headed boy who reminds me of my friend Bobby Burnside stripped down to his tightie whities and proceeded to slither around the floor like a Roomba in search of crumbs. To me, he looked like he just had a stroke after getting out of the shower. And, speaking of Roombas, I want one when I grow up. Please.


There was a fat kid, who said being fat was his "niche" and it made him who he was as a male dancer and the judges quickly told him that it was a terrible niche and that he was unhealthy, which made him probably want to cry inside but he kept his composure so all is well all is well.
She literally looked like Jackie Chan in a punk rock wig. She was good though, and they gave her a ticket...

Trashy looking Erika Gee was here for her third try. Sorry, honey, maybe you’ll have more luck at the Pussycat Dolls tryouts, or as a contestant on Flava Flav’s FLAVOR OF LOVE.
Her performance was bland and boring, yet the judges sang her praises and kissed her arse. Mary Murphy said, “I’m so glad we’re witnessing this big journey with you.” What journey is that exactly? The journey from the night shift at Hooters to the morning shift at Wal-Mart? Whatever. They loved her, and sent her straight through to Vegas. Where she belongs.

Oh, and Twitch came back! You know the guy who they had to decide him and best friend Hok, so Hok made it... he's a sweet heart he was bueno and I hope he makes the show just cause he deserves to...he's a good sport and a good dancer.

Then there was 21 year old breaker Victor Kim - my favorite performer of the night. This kid was nasty, and had some serious moves. He slid across the floor on his head, and balanced his entire body on his elbow. He was so funny! I laughed so hard, he was a huge goofball, and way original...the judges loved him and sent him through to choreography.



And there was Jonathan, a 21 year old cocky guy from Italy. While he was attractive in a “Just Shut Up And Stand There” sort of way, he was too annoying and cocky to take seriously. And with his shaved chest and greasy hair, he looked like a rejected Chippendale’s dancer. He probably IS a stripper somewhere in LA.




Next up, Kherington (sp?) an 18 year old, annoying little blonde thing who instantly made me throw up in my mouth a little. She giggled and proudly said, “I started playing soccer when I was 5!” Yeah, who didn't!? Do you want a cookie? Pin a rose on your nose. Bottom line, she jumped around the stage and did the same spin move over and over. She couldn’t seem to find any balance or direction and her movements reminded me of a moth with one wing. But the boys in the audience loved her (Dominic), and Nigel could sense the dollar bills rolling, so he put her straight through to Vegas. Shocking.

The last performer of the night was Robert, a 20 year old street dancer from California. He was amazing! I could watch him all night. I don't know how is body can move that way, but I don't know if he will be able to do any other style of dance.. we'll see if he makes it past vegas. Either way I hope he gets somewhere in life. Because he was rad, bad and everything in between.

I am way stoked for next week when they show the Salt Lake Auditions and I hope they show Michael Anne! I am rooting for her 100%.
