So You Think You Can Dance

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) I just got off the phone with Nigel Lythgoe, and here's a few nuggets of information he shared about Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance: He thinks Danny Tidwell is the best dancer the show has had, and thinks Travis Wall was a better dancer than Benji Schwimmer, and, in this past season, Bra...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) A thought occurred to me over the past two weeks of watching Dancing with the Stars, as I found myself nervous that new pro Chelsie Hightower would be eliminated the first week out, and feeling for Lacey Schwimmer as she stood alone receiving comments without her partner Steve-O -- are the...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) How 'bout this for timing...two of the Final Four dancers on So You Think You Can Dance were rushed to the hospital over the weekend, just days before the finale of the show's fourth season. In other So You Think You Can Dance news, the show was renewed today for a fifth season. Holla!

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) There was remarkably good work on tonight's Top 6 episode of So You Think You Can Dance. You can read I am Officially Over Twitch and Six Other Things I Learned From Tonight's SYTYCD for more of my thoughts on the show, but here are my rankings of the Top 6: Solos:

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) Many (including myself) had thought Will was as good a bet as any to win this thing. His grace, strength, confidence and versatility made him seem like the perfect package. Sure, his performances last night were not off-the-charts (I ranked him 5th out of the 8 contestants in my rankings of t...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) After replacing an injured Jessica King in the Top 10 of So You Think You Can Dance, it was widely expected that Comfort's return to the stage would be short-lived. SYTYCD MADNESS: THE GAME Allison vs. Lacey Benji vs. Neil Travis vs. Danny Nick vs. Heidi

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) Even though I still haven't found my Travis or Danny or Sabra (that one dancer who gives me chills and makes me sit up straight in my seat), this season of So You Think You Can Dance is shaping up to be one of the hardest-to-call yet. The overall level talent is so high, it's nearly impossible to p...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) Love her or hate her, So You Think You Can Dance contestant Jessica King is certainly giving us something to talk about this year. Partnered with Will Wingfield, easily among the Top 5 guys in the competion, Jessica has received harsh criticism from the judges and ire from the fans. In fact, m...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) There was some great dancing on tonight's Top 14 episode of So You Think You Can Dance, but the real of the star was, without a doubt, Mia Michaels.

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) As for the results themselves (Will/Jessica, Jamie/Rayven, Kourtni/Matt in the Bottom 3), America got it mostly right -- in fact, trade Will and Jessica for Marquis and Susie, and it was pretty much spot-on. How Marquis and Susie managed to escape having to dance for their lives is beyond...

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) However, none of them were instant stand-outs. There was no Nick Lazarrini or Travis Wall or Benji Shwimmer in the house. True, Chelsie, Chelsea, Jason, Joshua, Kherington and Twitch were all great, but none of them screamed "next winner of So You Think You Can Dance."

By Idol Thoughts(noreply@blogger.com) Theater and reality TV is sometimes a delicious mix (Fantasia in The Color Purple, MTV's current Legally Blonde: The Search For Elle Woods) and other times a total disaster (Grease: You're the One That I Want). So I went into last night's performance of the long-running Off-Broadway hit A...
