Rest In Peace Larry Harmon (Bozo the Clown)

I am not sure how many people actually know about Bozo but he was a fond childhood memory for me. His show has been missed by me for quite awhile. I have always wished I could share the show with my kids.  Rest in Peace Bozo.

 

SYTYCD week of 6-22-08

Watched the show off the PVR on Sunday (sorry had too much "fun" at the birthday party). All reviews are my Opinion only and not meant to cause hurt or anything else. *WARNING* If you have not yet watched the show DO NOT read any further because there are spoilers amongst my opinions. They include the results show.

Kherington & Twitch opened up what I would call a mediocre show. Of course these two did a GREAT job with a Hip Hop routine. This couple always makes me smile. BOTH SAFE.

Gev and Courtney were up next and I have to say Gev has grown on me. Courtney has been a fav of mine from the start so no suprise there. They did a Rumba and got off to a wierd start with Courtney’s dress getting stuck on her shoe (which btw wasn’t mentioned by the judges) The music choice was poor and I kept getting this urge to run over and cover her up as her costume was only half there (gosh I am getting old lol) But they did great with what they had BOTH SAFE.

Comfort & Chris came on stage with a Jazz number. I actually liked it a little but the judges didn’t (we weren’t on the same page most of the time) BOTTOM 3 for both CHRIS was ELIMINATED.

Jessica and Will came out to do a Disco dance which I really didn’t like at all. BOTH SAFE.

Kourtni and Matt danced a Contemporary routine that looked more like Jazz or Hip Hop. Was a cute dance but since I am not used to that style of Contemporary I didn’t like it too much. BOTTOM 3 for both BOTH SAFE.

Chelsea T. and Thayne did a Quick step. Now I like this couple alot but I thought their dance was so-so. The judges did not like it either. BOTTOM 3 for both CHELSEA ELIMINATED. Which means poor Thayne is going to get stuck with Comfort whom I don’t care for.

Chelsie H. and Mark came up next and BLEW me away!!!!!! The did a Hip Hop dance that was AWESOME!!!!! Napoleon and Tabitha ROCK as choreographers LOVE these two!!!!!! The story behind this dance was awesome the dancers were in tune and showed soooooo much emotion. They get a standing O from me. Brought tears to my eyes they were so believeable!!!! BOTH SAFE!!!!!!!

Joshua & Katee rocked their dance as always. This couple has been the most consistent throughout the competition. They danced a Samba and they were amazing. Joshua was soo on the ball that he shocked me. They were very sexy together and dnaced a great dance. They were put on the HOT TAMALE TRAIN by Mary!!!! This couple ROCKED. BOTH SAFE.

So there you have my thoughts and opinions on the best dance show out there!!!!!!! Until next week (lol in 3 days)…….

 

SYTYCD week of 6-15-08

Watched the show off the PVR on Sunday (sorry was on vacation). All reviews are my Opinion only and not meant to cause hurt or anything else. *WARNING* If you have not yet watched the show DO NOT read any further because there are spoilers amongst my opinions. They include the results show.

First up are Thayne & Chelsea T. dancing a Jazz routine. I wasn’t too thrilled with this so-so performance.  Which sucks because I like them well enough. I thought their costumes were cool even if the judges didn’t. BOTTOM 3 for both, BOTH SAFE.

Mark and Chelsie H. are up next with a Tango routine. Good dance was definitely sexy enough. BOTH SAFE.

Jessica & Will took the stage with a Hip Hop number. The dancing was okay enough I didn’t like the routine though. Not a big Jessica fan. BOTH SAFE.

Matt & Kourtni L. are up next doing the Fox Trot. They have great chemistry together but I thought the dance was boring. BOTH SAFE.

Gev & Courtney did a contemporary dance that was great. They both mesh well together. Courtney is still one of my favs for the females and Gev is growing on me. BOTH SAFE.

Katee & Joshua kicked butt all over the stage with a Broadway routine the was extremely entertaining. Awesome again, totally love them, danced in time together. The judges were very funny during their review and they loved them too. BOTH SAFE.

Susie & Marquis came onstage next and did a Salsa number. They looked completely uncomfortable onstage and I hated this dance. I am suprised too since it was Susie’s style. Not a big Susie fan. BOTH bottom 3 BOTH ELIMINATED. Good choice America. <——-my opinion

Twitch & Kherington did the most beautiful Viennese Waltz for their choreographers daughter. Their dancing was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Loved her dress too. Standing ovation for this couple. Go Twitch!!!! BOTH SAFE.

Comfort & Chris were the last ones to go. Nigel had me cracking up on his review. Because I agreed with him I did not like this and thought Comfort would do better. Not a big Comfort fan. BOTTOM 3 for both, BOTH SAFE. 

So there you have it my thoughts and opinions on the BEST dance show out there. Stay tuned next week…

 

Rest In Peace Tim Russert

I am deeply saddened by the news this evening. I only know him through the great way he delivered political news but he will be missed on the shows I have watched him on. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

 

SYTYCD

So You Think You Can Dance is my all time favorite show. I love dance and I love watching people who know how to dance express themselves through their art. This show also allows us to see the people who can’t dance (I am no judge and heck some may say I can’t dance just stating what the show says).

After being sick I finally was able to catch up on the rest of the auditions that were on the DVR as well as the show that names the top 20. I will have to say that I am not all that impressed with the people they picked. I saw some people get the axe in Vegas that I wanted to stay on the show. One of my early male favorites (don’t know the name) was cut as were a few others. And what was up with no one knowing when to keep their mouth shut? My gosh I certainly wouldn’t bust my butt to audition and then go into a room mouthing off. I truely hope that this season is good. I know it takes time to get to know the dancers but so far I only have one favorite and she is Courtney G. I have liked her since her audition and her style of dancing is very nice.

But alas no stand out sexy guys like in past seasons…….sigh

And standing ovation to Travis Wall on his split my sides funny performance as a girl. I was laughing so hard and guessed that it was Travis before he was done. LOVED that part!!!!!!!!!!

 

So You Think You Can Dance

Can I just say I love this show!!!!!! I have been watching it since it’s second season and I find myself looking forward to the next season as soon as the current season is over.

Season 4 kicked off on May 22 and I am already enjoying some of the tryouts. Haven’t seen anyone yet who blows me away but it takes awhile to get into the show. Once the tryouts are over and the dancers are chosen then I really get to know who my favorites are.

I would love for this show to do a "Where are they now" with past contestants. I have had many favorites over the past seasons. From season 2 I loved Musa Cooper , Dmitry Chaplin (ohlala), Allison Holker (my favorite female dancer), Heidi Groskreutz , Travis Wall (my favorite male dancer), and of course the winner Benji Schwimmer . From season 3 there was Hokuto "Hok" Konishi , Jamie Goodwin , Kameron Bink , Dominic Sandoval , Lauren Gottlieb , Pasha Kovalev (ohlala), Lacey Schwimmer (my favorite female dancer), Neil Haskell (my favorite male dancer), and Sabra Johnson .

SO I am looking forward to getting to know the new dancers and picking out my favorites for this season. Stay tuned for my updates on how I think the show is going
