Poll on So You Think You Can Dance’s Mary Murphy
Mary Murphy has long been acclaimed the Queen of Scream. While the dancers certainly love to hear her scream since that means she liked their performance, many of the shows fans have often complained about her screaming. So, let’s hear your opinions on the infamous Mary Murphy.
Also, feel free to rant, complain and/or compliment Mary Murphy in the comments.
At the very least ship her back to the States, I was devastated to see her on the Canadian sytycd. I thought I might actually be able to enjoy dancing without cringing at her outfits and voice for a season. And well after that laughable performance at the end of the last US season, I’m really doubting her ability to dance anymore..
Sean,
I don’t want her back in the states. I was glad to see her in Canada. Maybe they won’t send her back. The only solace you have is that I think Mary Murphy is only a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. So, you might be lucky enough to only have to see her sometimes and not EVERY episode like we have to endure.
I was disappointed to see her on the Canadian show as well; her credibility as a judge is shot with me after her behaviour on the just-finished U.S. SYTYCD.
I don’t doubt that she knows her stuff and I don’t dislike her critiques when they’re reasonable and not obviously intended to manipulate voters toward a specific outcome, but the shrieking and over-the-top emotionalism are unnecessary and lower the tone of the whole show to the level of parody, which strikes me as disrespectful to the dancers who work so hard to put on a good performance.
I doubt seriously that Mary Murphy is interested or cares what we think. It is apparent that a lot of people consider her behavior rude. My question is, why is she allowed to continue to behave so disrespectfully on a show that is one of the best on Fox. The dancers themselves show great professionalism and respect overall. I am no kid, but I really enjoy watching these talented young people and have learned to appreciate a variety of dance forms. They are the reason I watch and I enjoy Nigel’s calm and respectful demeanor. Mary’s behavior is egotistical and childish at best, but again, the question begs, does she care?
I think she’ll care if she loses her place as permanent judge. Her place is doing her well right now. Otherwise, no I don’t think she does. I think she’s gotten so fake just trying to be entertaining.
