Australian telly is showing So You Think You Can Dance again which makes me very happy. It's the only show that I shall stay up past half-past eight on a school night. Actually, most nights when I have to work the next day I go to bed at 8pm. My alarm goes off at half past four in the morning. For my to stay up the show has to be worth it. And I think SYTYCD totally is.
It's my guitly pleasure show. It's the show I watch and half the time I'm thinking to myself;"I could totally do that if I wanted to. I just don't want to." and the other half I'm all "Are their bones made of rubber??? Isn't that move against the laws of physics??"
I love the hip-hip. It looks like the dancers have fun when they're doing it.
I am still completely not understanding what contemporary is all about. Are contemporary dancers failed gymnasts??
The best thing about living in Oz and watching US reality tv shows, is that 99% of the time the show is done and dusted by the time we see the first ep. This makes me happy, as I can get on-line to completely spoil myself. So yeah, I already know who won (my guy did not. This made me sad for about 5 minutes.)
I'm thinking that maybe it's one of those dances that it would be better to watch while intoxicated on something. There was a dance last night, where all three judges went "I have no idea what that was about. Are you bank robbing welders??"
They're adutioting dancers now here for the Australian version. I am not looking forward to this: our most famous (still living) dancer is a tap dancer. Though - apparantly Wade from the US SYTYCD is Australian by birth.
I would not be surprised if a routine was supposed to be about bank robbing welders, but sensitive, angsty ones, I'm sure. Contemporary is just that pretentious, it is. Hates it, I do. I'll take tap over contemporary any day. ::g::
