Yeah. I've been lurking around the TWOP recaps when I'm bored, and was just reading the recaplets for So You Think You Can Dance, and I felt like sharing.
I have a serious love/hate with Dance. I watched part of it's first season, and thought it was dumb. Then I became slave to the all-powerful glory that is Dancing with the Stars, and I figured "hey! Dancing show and dancing show! I must watch." And...yeah, not so good logic.
Stars has really spoiled me for Dance. Because my sister and I sit there watching dance and critiquing horribly. The "ballroom" dances they do on the show are not even worth mentioning, and bear zero resemblence to any actual ballroom dance. But even the other stuff...I'm not a fan of contemporary (so she's flailing around. so what?), but I still sit there and go "They're not meshing!" "Where's the chemistry?" "Your kicks are sloppy!" among other things. Also, the dancers annoy me. I don't know if it's because the "stars" on Stars are usually so cute and "Well, we do our best!"chipper, but everyone on Dance seems like a real drama queen. Yes, you must dance to share your soul, it's your LIFE. Yeah, who on this show hasn't said exactly the same thing?
Which leaves the only part I really like as the Broadway routines (shut up, I am a sucker for anything and everything theatre), and there's only one of those a week, and is usually the one to get cut when they have less dancers. Oh, and also pretty boys. I'm partial to Pasha the Russian this season, and Neil, although he kind of reminds me of Curtis from Take Home Chef, and also Kameron cuz he's kinda punky and I like that. Cedric is my homeboy (REPRESENT), but he's not my type so I can't put my full heart behind him. Sigh. It's shallow, I know, but c'mon. This is So You Think You Can Dance we're talking about.
