   I wouldn’t write off Gabi yet. I got the same fluttery feeling about her that I did when I saw Josh’s audition (yes, really). If her health doesn’t get in the way, I think she will be just fine with the ballroom. Circus work means she’s strong, flexible, balanced, used to working with a partner, and used to working hard. The grace and precision I saw in her audition means to me that she might pick up the basic postures of the ballroom dances easily, something that is the key to faking it when you haven’t had years of training. She reminds me of Sabra (and not just in her looks) in her quality of movement, but much stronger.

   There was a woman from Princeton who had auditioned last year and made it to the last day of the Vegas round before being cut… what was her name? Ariel. Ariel Taylor (yay Google!). I loved her audition. Anyone think she might make the Top 20?

   Joanna,
   Gabi could surprise me. She does remind me of Sabra in a lot of ways. However, I do agree that she’s a little more unique than Sabra was when she auditioned. I’d be happy to have Gabi in the top 20. She definitely has a great story. However, for now I’ll stick with my prediction that they’ll be sad to cut her.

   Robin,
   I’ll be posting about Ariel Taylor and the other people I haven’t talked about in the post above soon. I liked her. She did bring it pretty nicely. I just wonder if she won’t make the top 20 because there are too many contemporary dancers? That sometimes happens.

   I hope Natalie, Brandon, and Kayla make it. I was really bummed natalie and brandon didnt make it last season. although, katee was one of my faves during the season. They all had amazing auditions. hopefully they make it all the way through vegas!! im so excited for this season, and also that there will be a fall season! hopefully nigel tones down the pervyness.

   can anyone tell me the name of the song that mitch and misha (the 2 male dancers) to during their audition?

   Kalya,
   I can’t help but think that you might be a little bit biased on Kayla since you’re name is Kayla as well. Of course, I think Kayla is fantastic too, so I’ll ignore your bias and agree whole heartedly with you on all accounts.

   Katee did surprise me and turn into one of my favorites as well.

   Nigel is a dirty old man. Don’t expect him to tone it down at all. However, that won’t diminish the dancing at all in my book. He is what he is.

   niki,
   I haven’t found that song yet, but if I do I’ll be posting it to my list of music from the first episode which you can find: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/05/22/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2009-premiere-thoughts-and-music/

   As a side note, I’ll be posting all of the SYTYCD music: http://www.puresytycd.com/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-music/ as the season progresses.

   Thank ya’ll for your help but i had a lot of time on my hands yesterday. The song that Mitch and Mishka danced to during their audition was Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes with the Black Eyed Peas. It’s on Sergio Mendes’s album entitled Timeless. Thanks again and maybe someone else was looking for it so perhaps I was a help to them.

    john, i may be a little biased BUT speaking of music…..has anyone found a download of “breakdown more” by Eric Hutchinson. it’s the song natalie danced to in her audition. I have found the album it’s on, but you can’t purchase it anymore. I’ve googled the song to try and find a way to either purchase or download it and so far no luck So if anyone has any leads on that song, that would be great! i would put you on the hot tamale train for sure if you found it!

    Kayla,
    You might have noticed that I didn’t have a link to the song either. That’s why. I haven’t been able to find it on iTunes/Amazon or anywhere else.

    I’ve never tried it myself, but theoretically you could download the audio from a YouTube video and have it as an MP3. Not sure how that fits with copyright. I’ll leave that one to you.

    SO this comment isnt music related…..but i am in a dilemma. i am not able to make it home from work in time to watch sytycd AND i don’t have a tivo or dvr. does anybody know of a good site to watch the episodes online? luckily i was home last weekend and my mom has a tivo so i was able to watch the premiere on that. BUT now im back at my place where i am tivo/dvr-less. anyway, if anyone has any suggestions. i have a couple of sites, but they are letting me down at the moment. so if anyone knows of anything, i would love you forever. thanks!

    I sent you an email with some ideas. There are some options out there usually.

    I was so disappointed Natalie Reid didn’t get through!!! She was awesome!!! I’ve watched it since the beginning and think they made a mistake. She was even the example. Since so many others were able- why didn’t she get the op to “dance for her life”?

16. # John commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Charity,
    I agree. Although it is possible that Natalie did dance for her life and it hit the cutting room floor.

    Kayla

    I have the song “breakdown more” by Eric Hutchinson if you would like me to e-mail it to you.

    Does anybody know the name of the song that went “ah ahah ahah.” Sonya made the dance to it.

19. # Kayla commented on June 6th, 2009:

    Alexa – If you are talking about the one Sonja put her routine to in Vegas week, then it was “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings. Hope that helps!
