   Song that Parris Torres danced to in Miami…anyone know?

   Toxic…but where can I find this verison? Not Ms. Spears, right?

2. # John commented on May 27th, 2009:

   I’ve heard that the version of Toxic was by Yael Naim. The iTunes image will take you to that version of the song on iTunes.

   I’m just not sure who danced to the song Toxic since I missed part of the show tonight due to some unavoidable conflicts.

3. # Bartley commented on May 27th, 2009:

   Paris Torres danced to “Toxic” done by Yael Naim. I am still trying to figure out a song that was on tonight’s episode. I honestly don’t even remember who performed it but they were bad. It kept saying “Make you crazy” and “Lets get crazy” in the lyrics.

4. # kate commented on May 28th, 2009:

   does anyone know what the song featuring rhianna was?
   i forget who danced to it..
   & you can find the toxic song on itunes by yael naim (or by clicking this iTunes image )

5. # Laeren Misha commented on May 28th, 2009:

   There’s still another song that I’m looking for on this ep – the song where Travis Prokop comes out of the doors after getting his Vegas ticket. Then the song quits, and we cut to the 2nd Guerra twin getting her results. Then the song resumes after the 2nd Guerra twin comes out with her Vegas ticket. Some parts of the montage include the other dancers going to Vegas (at one point they’re jumping up and down chanting Ve-gas! Ve-gas!).

   Montage sending X, Megan Kinney, Alex Wong to Las Vegas

   That was “mahna mahna” by cake. its an old sesame street song they redid for a kid’s cd

   Love this show! Love this website! Thanks for the song list. What a great service.

8. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

   Danielle,
   I’m with you on all counts (although I’m a bit biased on the love of this website). Let me know if there are other things you’d like to see on the site.

9. # Natalie commented on May 28th, 2009:

   I’m pretty sure Janette Manera & Romulo Villaverde danced to “Oye Como Va” (If memory serves me correctly). I’m not sure which version they used though. Sounded faster than the Santana and Tito Puente versions. It’s a favorite of ballroom dancers in the SYTYCD universe.

10. # bronwyn commented on May 28th, 2009:

    What was the name of the song Dustin Dorough danced to?

11. # Laeren Misha commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Bronwyn: Wasn’t that “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga? (hoping I’m remembering correctly)

12. # JPS commented on May 28th, 2009:

    That was Celia Cruz’s version of “Oye Como Va”

13. # bronwyn commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Thanks Laeren, been looking for it everywhere.

14. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Thanks for all your help. Keep them coming and I’ll keep updating the post.

16. # Renee commented on May 28th, 2009:

17. # Polo commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Thank you very much for all the trouble you took listing down the titles and artists of music used in the show.

18. # Dave commented on May 28th, 2009:

    what is the name of the song that chris carrozza danced to? Thanks

19. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Angela,
    Thanks
    Renee,
    Still looking. The words are hard to hear and hard to identify.
    Polo,
    Glad you like it. Keep coming back for more;-)
    Dave,
    Still looking. Hopefully someone can help me out.

20. # Whitney commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Renee – I ‘m pretty sure the song in the choreography round is Nobody by Neyo.

21. # Jessika commented on May 28th, 2009:

    i love evan kasprzak!!! haha. this is a great website for the people like me who are always looking for the songs used on the show =]

22. # Mark Danos commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Need to know the song used by Travis Prokop during his audition

23. # Laurie commented on May 28th, 2009:

    This is a great website- thank you!

24. # Jenny commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Thank You!!!! I watched this last night and loved the song that Caitlin Kinney danced to, I knew google would help me figure out what it is!

25. # Jen commented on May 28th, 2009:

    “Electric” dancer, Chris, danced to “Belong” by DJ Spooky. (I think.)

26. # Matt commented on May 28th, 2009:

    What was that song??? Just before the Seattle auditions they showed a quick clip of a girl dancing to the sweetest song but they didn’t give her a profile. It happened around 9:10 in the show. Totally vague, I know – but any clue what it is??

27. # Heidi commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Any help here would be appreciated…
    During the Seatle auditions, right after the judges bitched about all the crappy dancers, a girl with funky hair came on and Nigel said “please please please be good.” And she was. More importantly…I need the song she danced to.

    Anyone?

    Thanks!

28. # Ike commented on May 28th, 2009:

    i liked that song as well her name was kelsey 45105

29. # Megan commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Anyone know what song Kelsea Taylor (18) danced to in Seatle?

30. # chance commented on May 28th, 2009:

    I was just watching the L.A auditions there was a guy in white jeans AKA shakiriro does anyone know the song he was dancing to????

31. # JJ commented on May 28th, 2009:

    What was the song during the L.A. or perhaps Seattle audition that the “beautiful weirdo” danced to? I believe she was Asian and had a grey streak in her bangs??

32. # Bob commented on May 28th, 2009:

    I’m looking for the same song as the folks above!

    Thanks to anyone who can help out.

33. # Judith commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Does anybody know the song with the lyrics “don’t let your feet touch the ground and dont look down” and had the phrase ” standing up straight im ten feet tall” It played while they scrolled thru about 4 people that made it thru. Thanks

34. # Nate commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Oh My God I want that Shakira male guy song too! That African beat was amazing! I WANT THAT SONG so bad!

35. # Megan commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Chance & Nate….

    I think the song is ‘Magalenha’ by Sergio Mendes

36. # Erica commented on May 28th, 2009:

    I would also really like to know Kelsea Taylor’s (Seattle-Day 1) audition song.

37. # Jasmine commented on May 28th, 2009:

    On so you think you can dance a girl named Kelsea Taylor danced to a amazing song and i dont know what it is? Can you tell me what song did she danced to?

38. # Mimi commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Oh yes yes! I would love to get Kelsea Taylor’s song. She was freaking amazing and the music was so awkwardly funky and weird.

39. # JOSH commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Thanks Jen. Chris Carrozza did dance to “Belong” by Spooky, I found that it was Sasha’s mix, for anyone trying to find it.

40. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

    I just thought I’d let you know that I’ll be updating the music from the LA and Seattle auditions: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/05/28/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2009-seattle-and-la-audition-music/

41. # Jen commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Please please please someone has to know the song to Kelsey Taylor’s solo! (the one that broke the Seattle crappy streak)

42. # Claudia commented on May 28th, 2009:

    What was that crazy african song? I think the man who said he could dance like Shakira used it.

43. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Everyone,
    Kelsea Taylor danced to “Tore My Heart” by Oona and Dave Tweedie. Unfortunately, it’s only available on Myspace. You can see more: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/05/28/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2009-seattle-and-la-audition-music/

44. # John commented on May 28th, 2009:

    Claudia,
    You can find the song for Shakiro: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/05/28/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2009-seattle-and-la-audition-music/

    It’s been a really popular one for many.

45. # katie commented on May 28th, 2009:

    also, has anyone found the song “standing up straight i’m ten feet tall”?

46. # Chris commented on May 29th, 2009:

    I would just like to thank all the people that have put (obviously) a great deal of effort into this site. You have my wife’s (and by proxy, my) sincerest appreciation.

47. # John commented on May 29th, 2009:

    @katie
    I’m still looking for that one. With as many lyrics as I’ve gotten, you’d think it wouldn’t be a problem. Watch the page I listed above.

    @Chris
    Very nice of you to take the time and share. I might have to collect all the nice comments and share them with my wife. Might make her appreciate what I’m doing as well;-)

48. # Mow commented on May 29th, 2009:

    Here’s the song used at the end of Day 1 in Miami for the montage just after Joseph Smith got his ticket to Vegas…
    It’s Save the lies by Gabriella Cilmi

    Here’s the itunes’ link

    (^-^)

49. # Julia commented on May 29th, 2009:

    please help i have been looking everywhere……thanks

50. # alex commented on May 29th, 2009:

    Looking for the song playing during the segment “guide to a good audition – rule number 2″?

    It’s electronic/house-ish…

    Thanks

51. # J.T. commented on May 29th, 2009:

    Priscilla Marrero’s song was “Concierto para Quinteto” by Astor Piazzolla, from the album Tango: Zero Hour.

52. # Sarah commented on May 30th, 2009:

    Has anyone been able to find the song Geo (African, feathered head-dress guy that tickled Mary’s fancy or whatever) danced to yet? I’ve been searching for it, and the most frustrating thing is that I know it from somewhere, but I can’t figure out what! Anyone else?

53. # Cinda commented on June 1st, 2009:

    If anyone finds Geo Smith’s song, please post! (OMG I love that song-such a great quick paced song)

54. # Katherine commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    the one song playing during the megan kinney/alex wong dancers wasn’t mahna mahna ….i don’t know wat you’re talking about.

    the song is Take Me On the Floor by the Veronicas

55. # Kyra commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Does anyone know which song that was played in the background during the interview with Chris Carrozza? Not the song he actually danced to, but the instrumental piece that played as he talked about his dance style. It sounds like Hedwig’s Theme from the Harry Potter movies, but I can’t quite tell.

56. # Scott commented on June 5th, 2009:

    Does anyone know the music that they used between the dances – a few of the songs were really great but I couldn’t catch them. Would you be able to add a section of those pieces?

57. # John commented on June 5th, 2009:

    Scott,
    We add them as we get them. Sometimes they’re harder to figure out since they’re usually in the background. You’ll see we have a few of them from the show, but not that many.

58. # Ryan commented on June 6th, 2009:

    Same as Comment #50 Alex – song used during “guide to a good audition” rule number 2. It’s electronic. Thanks!

59. # amanda commented on June 7th, 2009:

    What was the song used in Mia Michaels dance in Vegas. I really liked that song.

60. # John commented on June 8th, 2009:

    amanda,
    The vegas week songs are listed: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/06/03/so-you-think-you-can-dance-las-vegas-week-music-episode-1/

61. # Simone commented on June 8th, 2009:

    The name of the song “Shakiro danced to is “Magalenha” by Sergio Mendes

62. # dancefan commented on June 8th, 2009:

    Please tell me the artist and songname of the song that is being used in the end of each episode. The lyrics goes something like this: put “your left foot to the left, put your left foot to the right, shake it up to the twist”. Its a electronic song.

63. # Tarah :) commented on June 8th, 2009:

    Hi fellow sytycd fans!
    Judith (and I think Amanda as well…) I FOUND IT!

    “standing up straight I’m ten feet tall,
    I like this look I love you all.
    100 feet off the ground it seems,
    that a beautiful day is gracing me.”

    – “Don’t Let Your Feet Touch Ground” by Ash Koley

    enjoy

64. # Samantha commented on June 11th, 2009:

    Does anyone know the song that was used in one the the audition episodes, it was when sonja was doing the choreography round I believe and it went something like “and all the boys ahahahaha” or something along those lines?

65. # John commented on June 11th, 2009:

    Samantha,
    I think you’re talking about “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings. You can see the list from the choreography in Las Vegas: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/06/03/so-you-think-you-can-dance-las-vegas-week-music-episode-1/

66. # Sarah commented on June 12th, 2009:

    theres a song that some of the people dance to when they are in groups during vegas week. im not talk about like me or my life would suck without you, its a slower one. if you know which what im talk about please tell me the name, thankss

67. # ryan commented on June 19th, 2009:

    there was a song and i think some of the lyrics were “have i told you today im in love with loving you”. it was real slow and i think a guy was singing it…i didnt catch any other lyrics though..

68. # Kate commented on June 19th, 2009:

    Yeah the song Ryan is talking about – the lyrics went “Im in love with loving you” and it was two girls dancing together for the audition mirroring each others moves. I think they were twins? The song was amazing – id love to know who its by – Ive been googling for ever trying to find it. Im in Australia and the episode only just played here…

69. # Maddi commented on June 19th, 2009:

    Desperately seeking the song used in the background just before and for part of the scene when Geo danced. It sounded like an old song rehashed, female vocals, very funky/60’s vibe with a sitar playing, one of the lines went something like this “you moved on the dance floor”… If anyone is in the know please help! BTW you are all excellent researchers! Waiting in hope that someone knows )

70. # HANNA commented on June 23rd, 2009:

    Man, this is killing me. Watched the miami/memphis audition just now and heart this awesome song playing during the choreography. Have I missed something or what is the name of that song? I have GOT to find out, otherwise this’ll bug me for the rest of my life, seriously. Sounded like John Mayer but I can’t be sure…

71. # Cinda commented on July 5th, 2009:

    i know its been a while, but has anyone found geo smith’s song? still desperately seeking it cuz it was such a nice fast instrumental song.

72. # TANYA commented on December 20th, 2009:
