Russell Furguson Wins Season 6 Of So You Think You Can Dance!!

RussellWins

And I’m not one bit surprised! Like I told you at the beginning of the season, Russell won the viewers hearts with his passion, his positive attitude, and his powerful presence.

For me, this wasn’t the best season – it didn’t have enough “Oh my GOD!” moments and I only cried a couple of times (hush!). But Russell won my heart from the moment her first hit the stage to audition. That smile alone could have gotten him into the top 20!

And last night he took home first place! The evening took a turn south when Russell hurt himself at the end of a routine. He was forced to sit out for the rest of the evening, leaving the network scrambling for video of past performances. 

All in all it was a great finale – and I think the right man won!!

‘So You Think You Can Dance’ Loses Two Before The First Show

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Marsh-Bell

Last night we got a pre-recorded show that “showcased” the dancers by giving them the chance to perform within their own stlye. That was great – but we didn’t get to vote and we still don’t know who the couples will be.

Well, it looks like we know who WON’T be paired up! SYTYCD has already lost two competitors. Billy Bell, the amazing contemporary dancer that made Adam cry with his audition, has bowed out due to mono. And Noelle Marsh, another (but FAR less talented) contemporary dancer, will miss tonight’s show due to a serious ankle injury.

Billy has bowed out for the entire season, byt Noelle is holding on to the hope that she will heal enough to perform next week. FOX will only allow her 7 days to recover before replacing her for the remainder of the show.

In semi-related news – Mia Michaels, the choreographer/judge that just left SYTYCD, was rushed to the hospital in Canada after injuring her back during a rehearsal for the Canadian version of the dance show. She has been released from the hospital with either a herniated disc or a serverly pinched nerve. She will be able to return to her home in LA after a few days to recover.

I sure hope everyone is back on their feet again soon! I hope this doesn’t become the theme of the season!!

‘So You Think You Can Dance’, Season 6 Top 20!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Top20

Last night on SYTYCD they narrowed down the list of dancers to the official top 20! This is one of my favorite episodes every season, because this is where I can finally let myself fall in love and pick my favorites.

 I always disagree with some of their choices, and this season is no different. They decided to keep 3 tap dancers this season. And they didn’t accept just one tapper – they accepted 3! (I’m not a big fan of any of them, personally)

They kept a B-Boy who calls himself Legacy that I can’t STAND. He’s a great b-boy, but that’s it – zero skill in any other area. I’m ready to say good-bye to him already. However, I am excited about Russell Ferguson, a Krumper from Boston. He’s going to make me cry all season. (That’s a good thing!)

The girls are pretty weak this season – my favorite is an 18 yr old named Mollee Gray. Only because she is so damn sweet! She’s fun to watch and I think she will surprise us!

Ok, I’ll shut up and give you the list – but I have one last thing to say…. WTF was up with Mia’s hair?! Or, I spose I should say, LACK of hair. ODD

The Girls!

Channing Cooke, 18, Contemporary

Ariana Debose, 18, Contemporary

Ashleigh Di Lello, 26, Ballroom

Mollee Gray, 18, Jazz

Karen Hauer, 27, Ballroom

Noelle Marsh, 18, Contemporary

Pauline Mata, 19, Jazz

Kathryn McCormick, 19, Contemporary

Bianca Revels, 20, Tap

Ellenore Scott, 19, Contemporary/jazz

The Boys!

Oh No!!! Mia Don’t Go!!!

As you all know, I am a fool for FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” And one of the biggest reasons for this is Emmy winning choreographer, Mia Michaels.

Well, according to Mia’s Twitter account – she’s calling it quits with the show-

“I am officially an adoring fan of SYTYCD…Thank U for 5 wonderful yrs – To create moments and movement for the world to share with me was a gift…Thanks SYTYCD and look forward to what’s ahead for me…lookout world!”

SIGH

I already miss her!! Who is going to be the resident bitch now?! Who is going to tell people how “stupid” they look? Who is going to tell people how annoying they are?! And who is going to cry when the dancers get her routines right!?

This is a sad day for SYTYCD fans. I, for one, am crushed! We can only hope that she will make a guest appearance here and there to keep us happy.

Why Mia?! Why?!

*sniff*

‘So You Think You Can Dance’ Comes Back Tonight!!!

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

And since I don’t have any NEW clips -- I give you my favorite dance from last season. (I can hear Bitty screaming at me now for posting ANYthing Jason Mraz, but it’s totally worth it)

I know that it takes a while for the dancing to be great -- we get to laugh at all of the audition episodes first- so I am just going to have to watch YouTube clips of past stuff to hold me over for the next few weeks. Bonus -- they usually cut out that hideous hag Mary Whatsherfuckingname and her gawd awful screeching in the YouTube videos!

It’s ok, you can laugh at me -- I’m strong enough to take it. I have no shame when it comes to the dance shows. That’s right, sometimes they even make me cry- I hope I cry a lot this season..

I’m so excited :)
