Previous few posts, I mentioned that Channel 5 is finally airing So You Think You Can Dance 4, like promised by Fox TV on American Idol. Well, I was wrong. Channel 5 is only airing Season 3, which I have watched on youtube, I remembered the top 20 were brought to the premiere party of Adam Shankman's movie Hairspray (he is one of the judge of SYTYCD), then they dance to You Can't Stop The Beat. The routine was really fantastic, a 60's inspired dance with some splashes of Hip Hop, Disco, Contemporary, Ballroom, Latin not so much. I liked it a lot and ever since then I have been glued to SYTYCD.

Anyway, right now, I am watching the 4th Season on the web. I really liked it so far, but one thing that I dislike about this season's contestants is that there were too many contemporary dancers and too few latin and ballroom dancers. I mean, What's UP WITH THAT?! It's a dance competition and the judges or the producers at most should enlist more latin/ballroom dancers. Okay, in the top 20, there were 3 latin dancers or what I think, Susie/F (Salsa), Jamie/M (Swinger) and Chelsea H./F (Ballroom). Well, 2 of them were already kicked out in the early stage of the competition, Chelsea H. Is still the last standing one paired with Mark whose dancing style is simply beyond words, okay words can describe it but it does not fall under general dance styles.

There were 4 hip hop dancers, Gev/M, Twitch/M, Joshua/M and Comfort/F. They are very strong competitors and currently the male hip hoppers are at the top of the competition while the female is falling back because of her partner. Hopefully they can pull through into the top 10, which I think would go on tour. Speaking of tour, American Idol Live! tour is kicking in on July 1. So hopefully, when they are done, they would come to Asia, which is impossible, I just want to MEET CARLY SMITHSON!!!! Ooh... also notice that this year, youth day does not fall on July 1 in Singapore? It will be a week later on 7 July. Why? Because we Graduates are having our oral examination this week, so yeah party later!!! Halla!!!

anyway, you've probably figured out what styles are the rest of the competitors, contemporary, 13 contemporary dancers fighting for the title of being America's favorite dancer? Woah, hold back, america's favorite dancer? yeah, that is what they call their champion... Can it be any more cheesy than that, American idol calls their champion Idol, a very catchy title, but favorite dancer? Any competition could have thought of that...

Well, 13 contemporary dancers, let me break it down for you...

Chelsea T./F and She's out already. I think she is brilliant dancer with a strong character, but the judges don't see that in her, what is the problem there...

Chris/M and he's out, well i think he deserves it, of all the contemporary dancers, he is the weakest...

Courtney G./F

Jessica/F

Mark/M, the hawaiian bird dancing guy...

Katee/F, the asia contender of SYTYCD

Marquis/M, He's out, too gentle i guess....

Kherrington/F

Matt/M, he is like Marquis only with stronger personality

Kourtni L./F

Thayne/M, The freakishly large smile guy

Rayven/F, She is a ballerina but out of the competition...

Will/M, he classifies himself as a contemporary guy, but he is more than that...

SO there you go... Those are the contestants of SYTYCD. I will try to bring up this season's progress more often, but i will not share the details... you will have to wait for Channel 5 to bring you into the season...
