SYTYCD Canada
Saturday, August 29, 2009
Been keeping up with my twits? yes, i like to spell it that way... anyway, Yea, so you think you can dance just ended a month ago, and just a week later, canada is not stopping the dance fever. season 2 of SYTYCD canada is back ya'll... and i have to say, despite the fact that i dislike the host who is dreadful and draggy, but i have to say that the production is really good. the auditions showed a lot of good dancers although they were very very long because all 4 judges had to give their critics for every clip. The talent in canada is definitely not a joke. asided from america, canada has the best dancers and choreographers. heard that australia?
this week was the top 20 and i am really impressed with the first episode, the performances are good, though can be better, but the dancers burned the dancefloor. so here are my views on the dancers
this season has 3 latin/ballroom dancers on the show, which is really disappointing compared to the first season which is about 5. Melanie B is the only female ballroom, she is sexy hot, although i don't think she is the best, natali from the first season or chelsie hightower can do so much better. Vincent ( read vinsaunt) is pretty good and smooth, comparable to Pasha from america's, though ability wise, still need to pull it up. Ther last is anthony, who i don't really like, that's because i find that he is arrogant and looks cheesy... but he is an alright dancer. on a whole the standar for ballroom dancers are consistent, but not as good as last year's.
hip hop this year stands out more. there are a lot of female hip hopers and one female krumper... hmmm... the guys hip hop is not bad either, stand outs are kim and cody, and nicola. well, no a big fan, but commendable skills.
now the biggest group is every sytycd competition, the contemporary/ballet/jazz/tap. yes i classify them as a group of crazy flexible creatures with dangerous stunts. I got injured just trying to be one... lesson learnt, stick to the status quo. anyway, not so outstanding, i think all the dancers in this class has always been standard. they dance pretty nicely, but i see them doing the same thing. If i were to pick my favourites, has to be melanie M, jayme and amy. I am not a fan of the guys, there are a few of them that i just feel that should not have been in the top 20. firstly, emanuel is way too over the top. and his face looks like a mannequin's... Austin, he is cocky as hell, and everett is no different. I know the judges wouldn't mind their attitudes, but i think it is just distracting for the audience.
I really hope that this year's talents will not disappoint and produce the best seasons of SYTYCD series. i think that a hip hopper will win this season, but who knows wht goes on through out the season.
just a promo, SYTYCD US season 6 is back next week. Wow!!! who would've known that this year is dedicated to dance. it will begin with a recap of what goes on on the series for 5 seasons, the best, the worse and the shocking. DWTS is also back in 2 weeks, and this season's professionals are dope as hell. the contestants? nah, they are not what i watch this programme for.just sad that a few of thefan favourite professionals are not back this season, but we have to accomodate with this season's professionals.
