SYTYCD – Atlanta & San Francisco
So Idol is over and I’m pleased at least that Nigel didn’t get Little Lauren all the way through, Scotty wasn’t my first, or second, choice but he is a good performer who should do well in the country market. Now it’s time for another of our family’s favorite shows So You Think You Can Dance.
The Atlanta auditions spotlighted several spectacular dancers and a record number of dancers (11) in a row were sent directly to Vegas. I like that while the spotted a few of the bad the heavy focus really was on the best dancers. It always seems a waste to me when they say 30 dancers went to Vegas and all I can remember seeing is are the ones who never stood a chance.
The San Francisco auditions had more rough spots but once again the focus was the best dancers, the ones who actually stand a chance, and not the crazies. I never mind seeing a few seconds of the nut cases but it seems only fair that those who are take the competition seriously should get the most attention. I’m really looking forward to the rest of this season now.
