Talia = HAWTNESS. Her hip swivels in that salsa/quickstep hybrid were gold, as good as I've ever seen on the show (watching that fringe flap around in unison was mesmerizing). Both of her routines with Ben were fantastic, but she did not bring it in that awful hootchie group dance. Her hip hop with Ben was the best hip hop routine this season. You often see great choreography making the dancers look amazing, but this is one of the few examples of meh choreography elevated to something special because of the dancers. I can't imagine any other couple combination pulling this one off, because aside from a couple of nice lifts, the only way this would work is to be perfectly in synch (which they were), and to bring the proper style and attitude (which they did). It seems like Jason is setting the table to get Gianne in ahead of Kat. His criticism of Kat's foxtrot was a bit bizarre -- for one thing, he keeps working this "you're too young" angle with Kat beacuse she's 18, then turns around and tells BJ he's awesome even though he's only 19. Does that year or so make all the difference in the world? I don't see it. I thought that was BJ's best routine this season, and in Kat's top three. Easily the best foxtrot in either season -- the choreography was bulletproof. The circus themed dance was kind of a mess for me, although kudos to Kat for letting it all hang out back there. Jason's only real compliment to Kat was backhanded -- he said Kat was the standout in the girl number, but she was just best of the worst. Tim and Amy's first dance was scary to watch -- like Bonnie, I also noticed how perilously close Amy's skull was to slamming into the floor, and that near-miss just took me out of a performance that was already clumsy looking with the kind of random looking choreo that a better couple could sell but just wasn't working with this pair. In contrast, The Wiz number was absolutely fantastic, although in a night with multiple fantastic dances, it doesn't even crack my top three of the night. I feel bad for Charlie and Gianne. It's difficult to assess their performance in relation to the other pairs because they lost a day's rehearsal, but neither number was particularly good, and the real crime was that it wasted what could have been another amazing Supple routine. Hopefully, he will come back again for a Talia/Ben or Amy/Ben combo. The guys'dance was another big mess. Tim was just all over the place, missing steps and not staying in synch. Interestingly, you can have a guy
dancing in a thong leotard and it's still less gay than a guy dancing in a sports uniform. Especially to Robbins style Broadway.

Loved the group dance. So elegant and traditional without being corny.

I should go just to see if Emanuel Sandhu is in line to re-audition. onto SYTYCDaus.. I think the male and female routines are a fantastic idea. What a great way to compare the dancers in a routine. Trouble is the women's 'dancehall' sucked balls. They should have learned from Canada's try at choreographing this hideous dance style for women. ugh. Why not have them all pole dancing instead. The problem with the women routines is they always get stuck with these awful genres. The only good one that I can remember is when Mia did that angelic white laced routine with the ladies from US version last season. Every other all female routine has been lame. And, is it just me, but I would like to see a male on male routine with a bit of lust between 'em. . I think this is starting to look more like a Charlie win at the end. I have to say that I LOVED the Wiz routine, and I hated the original version from that pedophile. |

eek, so not peeking as I'm 2 weeks behind, but just wanted to check in and express my hopeful anticipation of the potentially excellent Top 4 and
unrestrained excitement for the finale!

Ok so Sunday night was an easter special where the top 20 returned to do random dances because it's easter haha. Pretty awesome night!

Last weeks top 20 extra episode was fun. This weeks top 4 was pretty great. It was no SYTYCD season 2 F4 episode, but it was pretty fine.
Finally a strong female duo routine, it has been awhile. Doing a routine on-point (?) and stiletto, no guy has to endure that tough routine. Ben has looked tired to me in his routines in the past 2 weeks, but still love him. If it was based just on this final 4 episode, I think Talia deserves to win, but they were all stellar. Worst routine definitely the Kanye West hip hop with Ben and Amy. WTF?? I really enjoyed the top 4 Janet Jackson routine as well. Charlie will probably win this, just cuz he is the cute and geeky guy. |

Fantastic season, really enjoyed it.
Congrats to the Final 2, they brought it every week and earned their spots. Some great routines this time around as well. The Final 4 group dance to Britney's Womanizer was fucking immense. Two hip hop dances that I loved were Charlie/Kat's Top 6 and BJ/Amy's Top 10. If I had to choose my top 3 favourites from the whole season, I would probably choose Charlie/Penny Top 20, Danny/Kat Top 20, and Charlie/Talia's abstract contemporary routine to that electro song that I can't remember. In conclusion, the Australian SYTYCD is the best in the world. Still. |

oooh, can't wait til I get to download and watch! I'm even resisting looking at the spoilers.
And yes, of the 3 SYTYCD I have seen, I think Australia's is the best overall. I love the music, choreography,judges and the look of the show more than Can/US versions. DAMN! what an idiot, I went to youtube and someone announced the winner in their vid title.

Wow, the opening number is freaking amazing. |

Thanks for posting that Seltzer! I didn't think they could top their finale routine from last year. But that was unhooked!
And best thing for me was Forever starting the whole thing. That finale was amazing, and the winner truly deserving. Especially after the final 4 performed she (no more spoiler tags) totally deserved it. Ben was looking tired, Charlie had plateaued and Amy was always nearly flawless, which made her a bit boring. So many great routines for the finale. Loved Charlie and Talia's final dance. And getting to see Forever's routine with choir and symphony. I was wondering tho, there was a final 2 routine for all combinations, and choreographed by Jason. Would have been interesting to see Ben/Charlie do a ballroom routine together. Great time watching this season. What now? US SYTYCD is a few weeks away from starting? |

Trailer for the upcoming season! One thing I really like about this series is that the judges are very personable and connected to the dancers, you can see them going up to them after auditions, being cut, etc. I didn't even bother with the last US series because I just couldn't muster up the energy to care because I'm sick and tired of Nigel, Mary and co. I genuinely LIKE Matt, Bonnie and Jason and look forward to hearing their opinions after a performance. |

DAMMIT! Australia is down to the top 20 and I haven't been able to see any of the shows online. PEOPLE!! I need torrents! Or at least youtube'd versions like last seasons.
Anyone have anything exciting on the new season? Went to 10 website and can't watch the show outside of Australia, and saw the gangly looking bunch that is the top 20. |
