1. # Autumn commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   Hi! There was a nice song on the show tonight when Natalie was leaving – simple lyrics, just a guy and piano. Some of the lyrics were “When it’s time to leave, don’t grieve.” Can’t find it online, can you help me?

2. # Kpk commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   During the group dances – what was the slow song some of the groups were dancing to? It was a woman’s voice…sorry I don’t remember more specifics.

3. # Autumn commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   It was when she was hugging the cute black guy she had befriended and saying good bye to him.

4. # Bill commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   To add to the 2nd comment by “Kpk”……i caught the lyrics “save me” by the woman singing….it was kind of a contemporary style of a song.

5. # Autumn commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   To Kpk, the song you are referring to may be Four Women by Nina Somone. Hope this helps…and sorry for so many posts

6. # Lizz commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   Toward the beginning of the show there was a montage that ended something like “… do you want to dance with me”? Fingers are crossed!

7. # Liz commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   Some of the lyrics were “going nowhere. . . save me”. I’ve searched a bit but haven’t found anything yet. This is a must have song!

8. # song commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   I think the song is “Slow me down” by Emmy Rossum

9. # Ceci commented on June 3rd, 2009:

   June 3, 2009. There is a song. A guy singing, “tonight, I will give you my…” Someone please help me find out what the name of this song is & who sings it… It kind-of sounds like Gavin Degraw… Help!

   kthanxbye! <3

10. # Autumn commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Gavin Degraw’s Belief was on tonight

11. # Dana commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    The Gavin DeGraw song is “Belief” the Stripped Version

12. # Dana commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Also “stay” by Gavin…. just need a second chance….

13. # basia commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Song on this evening at 9:20 ish, during the CONTEMPORARY dance. A guy singing, something about “you rescued me…..” OMG! Great song. Anyone know name and who?????

14. # Allison commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Anyone know the song played at the end during the solo montage?

15. # Track7grrl commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Autumn, I think it’s “Wave Goodbye” by Mike Schmid they were playing when Natalie was leaving.

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

    It was surprising to hear Waltz #2 by Elliott Smith during the ballroom montage. It’s not exactly a dance song, but is probably one of the best songs ever written.

17. # Justin commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song during the groups the first day of vegas that said something like “bang the drums” it was a very fast tempo???

18. # Cham commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Ok really?! Natalee goes?! but they give that gabby whatever her name is who was absolutely horrible 3 chances?!?! and natalee gets NONE!?! COME ON!!

19. # Bea commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Has anybody figured out the song that played during the waltz (ballroom) choreography?

20. # Track7grrl commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Justin, “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings. Not sure if it is a remix.

21. # B commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song that Sonja used during her Jazz piece?

22. # Josh commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    There was a dance remix of the Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter , anyone know who performed it?

23. # Monica commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    the Great DJ is the Calvin Harris Remix

24. # SYTYCD Fan commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song (Rolling Stones remake) played during tomorrow night’s preview?

25. # Rhonda commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song the group of nerds did their routine to?

26. # Remix commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song with the lyrics ‘ put your left foot do the right’ it was during the hip hop choreography in hour 1.

27. # BT commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What was the song that they played during the solo routines at the end of the show?

28. # Mikey commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    This is a great site you have here. I was looking for the Emma Rossum song…you guys are brilliant! i couldn’t find it but sure enough, there was someone else that wanted to know the same song!!! good job guys…………..i couldn’t remember the name; it was eating me alive

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

    Thanks for everyone that’s contributed so far. We’re getting there little by little. Keep the information coming. I still have 40 minutes of the show left over here on the West coast.

    Mikey,
    Glad you like the site. We’ll be listing all the music among other things, so come back often and share your thoughts.

30. # Katie commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    So glad I stumbled upon this site! I was searching for the song that was playing when Natalie left (Coldfront – Amie Miriello). Thanks for posting this!!!

31. # Jenn commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    I’m totally interested in the solo dance montage song at the end of the show….with lyrics that sounded something like “i’m on my way” or “i’m having my way” or something.

    it was upbeat, and it’s driving me nuts.

32. # So You Think You can Dance commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    You’re awesome for posting these amazing music. The music on tonight’s episodes were just beautiful

33. # xkwyzit1 commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    I don’t think the song with the lyrics “going nowhere save me” is the Emmy Rossum song although it does sound pretty close. I looked up the lyrics and it doesn’t contain the “..going nowhere” part.

34. # Rob commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Can someone please tell me who did the dance remake of Gimme Shelter.
    I have been looking all night

35. # PAMMIE KEYS commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    oh my goodness ! it’s irritating me ! i need to know the name of the song that they played during the group auditions.. two groups had the same song.. i can only remember the lyrics “i keep on running in circles” & “save me”

36. # trista commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Hey! This is a great site! I was just wondering if someone could tell me the name of the song that they had during thr mia micheals routine!

    Thanks

37. # rent commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    What is the song from Mia Michael’s contemporary piece.

38. # Becky commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    The music during the montage at the 5 min. mark was “Dance With Me” by The Old 97’s.

39. # Chris commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Hey,what was the song at the end of the episode when the dancers were doing solos/montage…it was upbeat…I recall it saying “shadow”…

40. # HDS1950 commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Been driving me crazy to find out the Gimme Shelter version that played at the end of the first Las Vegas Week show. Help please?

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

    trista and rent,
    Mia’s choreography was to the song “Belief” (Stripped Version) by Gavin DeGraw I believe.

42. # PAMMIE KEYS commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    WOOOO !! FOUND IT !!
    the “running in circles” “save me” “going nowhere” song is called Slow Me Down by Emmy Rossum

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

    It definitely know there were multiple songs for Mia’s choreography. It looks like the second song used for Mia’s choreography was Mia’s choreography? was to the song “Slow Me Down” by Emmy Rossum

    One was by a guy (listed above as Gavin) and the other a girl (Emmy). Let me know if this isn’t right.

44. # Chris commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Hey i posted ^..Can anyone help me out please..its really bothering me…=(

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

    Chris,
    We’re all working to figure it out. Sometimes it takes a little patience. I counted about 83 different sets of music on the show tonight. That’s a lot of music from one show. Some of it was background and a few were used a couple times, but still a lot of music. I’m sure we’ll figure out the most important ones.

    Also, as a side note for others visiting this page. The page is getting slammed and so it’s cached heavily. That basically means that when you post a comment it may take a little bit to finally clear the cache and display your comment. Have no fear, your comments will appear.

    Ok, back to my search for more music.

46. # Chris commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    o wait..i think it was a “gimme shelter” dance remix..someone have the name of it? pleaseee

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

    Ok, someone has to be able to figure out which version of “Gimme Shelter” was used for the final montage of solos.

    We know the original was done by The Rolling Stones and that’s not it.

    So, here’s a list of other choices from iTunes:
    Grand Funk
    Patti Smith
    Grand Funk Railroad
    Kathy Mattea
    Tim Ries and Lisa Fischer
    Holy Soldier
    The Hellacopters
    The Goo Goo Dolls
    Ashley Cleveland
    The Reds
    T.S.O.L.
    Wild Horses
    Thunder
    Zwarte
    Girl on Top
    Carla Whitney

    Ok, that’s enough options. Anyone have the time to go through the list and see?

48. # Rob commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    Does anyone recall the name of the song (played on tonight’s Las Vegas show) that was released a few years ago with vocals sounding a lot like Avril Lavigne, and lyrics sounding something like “you remind me that i’m not alone”?

49. # HDS1950 commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    John, I checked through all the Gimme Shelters on iTunes twice and the one on SYTYCD is not one of them.

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

    HDS1950,
    You’re awesome. Sounds like we’re going to have to hope for a miracle to figure out the version of “Gimme Shelter” We’ve had a few miracles in the past in finding the music on this site, so I hope it happens again.

51. # HDS1950 commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    thanks John. Have also searched through Google and did a search on Limewire…..no luck so far and it’s driving me crazy. LOVED IT!

52. # JohnD commented on June 3rd, 2009:

    I think the problem is that the song only uses a section of the chorus of Gimme Shelter, so it’s a song by a different name. These are the NON – Gimme Shelter lyrics I picked up, if that helps to find the correct song. (thank you TiVo!)

    “Yeah, if I find a way,
    thngs will seem OK
    If I find a way
    it’s almost time, it’s just a shot away

    grab it while you can
    take it in your hand
    make it what you will and sing a song”

53. # JohnD commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Woohoo!! Found the song with the Gimme Shelter chorus!! It’s called “Shot Away” (Buy Single on Amazon) by Pawn Shop.

54. # Jex commented on June 4th, 2009:

    NONE of them sound anything like it.

    The only one even remotely close was Kathy Mattea.

    Could it possibly be a remix?

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

    I am always so slow to the party. Ha ha.

    Thanks John D!

56. # Kari commented on June 4th, 2009:

    NICELY DONE! The ‘Gimme Shelter’ remix was driving me mad.

57. # HDS1950 commented on June 4th, 2009:

    JohnD….you are the man. It can be heard/seen on YouTube under Pawn Shop Shot Away…..still deciding if it’s that version and yet another dance remix. hmmmmm.

58. # HDS1950 commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Just found Pawn Shop Shot Away CD Single – Import on CDUniverse with 6 versions…..many seem to be dance remixes, but no previews on that site to pick out the one….only thing as of right now is ordering the CD.

59. # John commented on June 4th, 2009:

    I also found where you can Buy the Pawn Shop Shot Away Single on Amazon

60. # HDS1950 commented on June 4th, 2009:

    I think this might be it! Labled simply “Club Mix” on imeem

61. # HDS1950 commented on June 4th, 2009:

    OK, found a site with samples…..looks to be either the (Radio Edit) or the (Vocal Club Mix)….listen to them here:

62. # Ericalina commented on June 4th, 2009:

    What is the song with “boys” and “girls” in the lyrics – I think it was the song natalee danced to when she was eliminated.

63. # Tim commented on June 4th, 2009:

    I want to know the song with the “tonight” in it…someone else earlier is looking as well…and there was also a song they dannced to in couple groups I want to know…anyone find them yet?

64. # phd_hopefully commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Emmy Rossum’s song is not for Mia’s choreography. It was used for group choreography.

65. # Kristin commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Last night when the “Nerds” did the group dance they played a song that was Hip Hop/ Pop; Lyrics were something like “Ive been waiting all night to dance with you”. What is this song? Ive looked everywhere and cant find it.

66. # skl6196 commented on June 4th, 2009:

    “Boom Boom Pow” was Tabitha and Napoleon’s choreography – not Sonya’s. Sonya’s choreography was to “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings.

67. # pbashe commented on June 4th, 2009:

    an elimination song -something about “you slam the door” “something that I did wrong today” “your minds made up” “sorry won’t be quite enough” that’s all the lyrics I could catch. Any ideas on what is was?

68. # John commented on June 4th, 2009:

    skl6196,
    Thanks for the corrections. I wasn’t sure on a couple of them and that’s why I put a ? by it. Now I’ve heard it 2 places and so I’ve updated the page to the correct songs with the correct people.

    Keep the music coming if you know something that’s not listed.

    Thanks!

69. # personisiam commented on June 4th, 2009:

    What was the name of the song when the group of six were dancing. Nigel said that one of the guys was the after and one of the woman was the before. At the end, when all six made it, the asain guy broke down in tears. It sounded something like Enya or Sarah McLaughlin would sing.

70. # Darren commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Who sings that “To Make You Feel My Love”…it was about 3/4 the way through the show when the SISTER had to dance for her life by herself. It was a woman singing it and VERY VERY good!!!

71. # Marina H. commented on June 4th, 2009:

    THANK YOU! So much, all of you, for being sleuths with the music. I was looking all night for the “Gimme Shelter” song and I had a feeling it had a different title, but had NO IDEA where to start. So thank you for finding that. Now to find somewhere to download it…

    Thanks again for all the help!

72. # Kimmiey commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Thank you for putting this on I love the music they use on so you think you can dance. And I like to hear them again. you made me really happy

73. # Amanda commented on June 4th, 2009:

    The Ting Tings song is a Calvin Harris Remix. Just to be more thorough. The original and remix have distince differences

74. # John commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Amanda,
    I think the one I have linked on iTunes at the top is the Calvin Harris remix, no? At least that’s what my search on iTunes brings up.

75. # Dawn commented on June 4th, 2009:

    John, great work on all the music searching! You’re amazing!

76. # Annie commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Darren, I think the “To Make You Feel My Love” cover was Adele’s.

77. # Vicki commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Does anyone know the piece that Alex Wong danced to in the opening solo? I really like that piece of music and would love to find it somewhere

78. # katie commented on June 4th, 2009:

    ah, i agree with number 67. it’s killing me i want to know the song that goes like
    “you slammed the door” “time goes by” “look on” “my minds made up” “sorry won’t be quite enough” not sure who got elimited or what, just remember the song.

79. # Bertha commented on June 4th, 2009:

    I would really like to know the song that has “I’ve been waiting all night to dance with you” as well. it seems pretty popular but i can’t find it anywhere

80. # Cassie commented on June 4th, 2009:

    That ’save me’ song from the group choreography was by Emmy Rossum? Wow. I’ll have to hear it in its entirety, but to me it sounded a lot like something from Frou Frou / Imogen Heap.
    I guess this means I actually like an Emmy Rossum song, haha.

81. # Bertha commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Oh I found the hip hop song!!! It’s called “Freeze” by T-Pain and Chris Brown. Glad I found it or I would be bothered the whole day, hahaha

82. # Remix commented on June 4th, 2009:

85. # Ginger commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Cassie, I thought it was Imogen Heap too when I heard it. I came to this site inquiring about the same song. I will have to listen again.

86. # Maria commented on June 4th, 2009:

    hey I was just wondering if anyone knows the name of the song they played during the montage where they were telling the people they didn’t make it. The only lyrics I caught were “I want to hold you forever.” It was sung by a guy and he was playing the guitar, the song was slow too if that helps.

87. # personisiam commented on June 4th, 2009:

    jstn, is it “may it be” by Enya?

88. # Heather commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Maria-

    I am looking for the “I want to hold you forever song too.” I thought it was James Morrison or Ray Lamontagne but I can’t find it.

89. # Page commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Along with Vicki, I would like to know what the name of the music is that Alex Wong used for his solo. This is a great site. Thanks for putting in so much effort!

90. # deedee commented on June 4th, 2009:

    to pbashe and katie,
    the song is by Adele, called “Make You Feel My Love”

91. # rudi commented on June 4th, 2009:

    hi guys, I think the last song in the show that said something like shadow or sun in the shodow was Moonlight Shadow Remix – Dana Winner please tell me if the one! I found it on you tube and sounds similar

92. # Tracey commented on June 4th, 2009:

    Here’s the Ray LaMontagne song “Trouble” :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=406Se3xPTqQ

93. # John commented on June 4th, 2009:

    rudi,
    I’m pretty sure the song you’re talking about is: “Shot Away” (Buy Single on Amazon) by Pawn Shop as it’s listed at the top of the post.

94. # rudi commented on June 4th, 2009:

    John thanks, I just checked on you tube and sounds right!
    Thanks

95. # Catherine commented on June 4th, 2009:

    The song #67 and #78 are looking for is called Cold Front by Amie Miriello. I did some looking for it too. Its the song that says “you slam the door like those times before” and “its obvious your minds made up sorry won’t be quite enough”.

96. # luchhh commented on June 5th, 2009:

    yehhh im looking for the i want to hold you forever song too:)

97. # Henry Singleton commented on June 5th, 2009:

    So you think you can dance ” You Slammed The Door”
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TngpDYID9A

98. # ALE commented on June 5th, 2009:

    Song from June 3rd episode…”right foot to the left, left foot to the right shake it up with just a kiss” 11 minutes in, after the boom boom pow song?

99. # Tamara commented on June 5th, 2009:

    Does anyone know what the song was that some of the dancers got to use when they had to perform in the groups and come up with there own dances. It
    sounded like it could be Chris Brown some of the lyrics were Dance Like Me.

100. # Dan commented on June 5th, 2009:

     What is the name of the song played on episode 4 not long after Boom Boom Pow, with the lyrics Put Your Right Foot To The Left, Put Your Left Foot To The Right, Shake it up and do the twist? not 100% sure on the lyrics but it was all a electronic voice.

101. # Dan commented on June 5th, 2009:

     Here is a video of the song I was looking for and its at 5:04

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBohK_6LZHA&feature=related

102. # Sracie commented on June 5th, 2009:

     The ting tings song is not the Calvin Harris mix. I went through my TiVo several times. It was a guy singing the “ah ah ah ah ah” etc. Anyone know what version can be found online that’s on the show? It’s driving me crazy!

103. # Rachel commented on June 5th, 2009:

     I’m looking for the same song as #98 ALE. I loved it but I can’t find it anywhere! It’s a like an upbeat dance mix after Gabi does the group dance at the beginning.

104. # Jemela commented on June 5th, 2009:

     I have been looking for the same”i could hold you forever” song too. It is Hold You In My Arms By Ray Lamontagne. I searched all over the web last nite looking for it.

105. # luchhh commented on June 5th, 2009:

     THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH JEMELA! THATS THE SONG THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! OHH AND THAT SONG THAT PPL SAY WITH ELECTRONIC VOICES..ITS BY CHRIS BROWN FT. T-PAIN..ITS CALLED SOMETHING FREEZE HOPE THAT WAS HELPFUL…AND THANKS AGAIN JEMELA:D

106. # Ross commented on June 5th, 2009:

     Someone posted this above… but the song that played several times while the groups did Mia Michaels contemporary piece (slow song with guy singing) is called “Belief” by Gavin Degraw. Great song!
     Lyrics from the chorus that played several times:
     “Oh, tonight, you arrested my mind. When you came to my defense. With a knife in the shape of your mouth, in the form of your body, with the wrath of a god. Oh, you stood by me, belief.

107. # Remix commented on June 5th, 2009:

     Dan and ALE i am looking for the same song… it’s just too good

108. # Dan commented on June 5th, 2009:

     In regards to the song I, as well as others, am looking for, a friend made this audio clip for me of that segment from the show. Hopefully that will make things easier instead of a youtube link.

     Dan,
     I left the link for now, but be warned that there’s a lot of crap at that link along with the small mp3 file with a portion of the song in question.

     Elliott Smith – Waltz #2

     great site.
     keep the good work.

114. # Kimmy commented on June 7th, 2009:

     The ballroom song was May it Be sung by Hayley Westenra, from her album Odyssey. It’s listed with an Itunes link in John’s list of songs used in Vegas week. Also, check out http://www.hayleywestenra.com.

115. # 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.

     what is the song when caitlin kinney and melissa sandvig make the top 20?

117. # Rella commented on June 8th, 2009:

     Towards the end of the second hour, there was a piece, rather slow in nature, male artist. Some of the words were: “When it’s time to go….say so.”…I have googled and come up short. Anyone know which song that was?

     On Season 5, episode three (still during the audition stage) Kelsea Taylor danced to this amazing Regina Spektor style song. Can anybody identify it for me?? I LOVE IT

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

     Carolyn,
     You’re talking about the Oona song. Good news is that you can download it on this site: http://www.puresytycd.com/2009/05/29/free-mp3-download-of-tore-my-heart-by-dave-tweedie-and-oona-from-kelsea-taylors-audition/

     It’s a short version of the song, but once it’s released on iTunes and Amazon I’ll post about it, so check back regularly for that.

120. # Dan commented on June 11th, 2009:

     Any updates on the name of that song in Episode 4 with the lyrics: Put Your Right Foot To The Left, Put Your Left Foot To The Right, Shake it up and do the twist? Once again it had a male electronic voice. This has been requested several places and by several other members. I am beginning to wonder if it is not a “real song” with a “real artist”. Maybe it was a original?

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

     It looks like the shake song that everyone wants might be “I’m Shakin’” by Rooney. Can you please let me know if that’s the one you’re looking for and I’ll update the post.

122. # luke commented on June 12th, 2009:

     what was the song being played when there was a few clips of all the bad dancers…the song went something like this….I CAN DANCE I CAN DANCE I CAN DANCE ETC…

123. # Dan commented on June 12th, 2009:

     John, The song is not I’m Shakin by Rooney unfortunatly. If I knew how, I would email the show personally and ask what the heck this song is called lol. There is not much to go by besides the lyrics I stated above.

     John/webmaster:
     plz find out the song that everbody is looking for. its driving us crazy!

     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.

127. # John commented on June 14th, 2009:

     dancefan,
     I’m doing what I can. Tried contacting the producers, etc. No dice. The show wouldn’t give me the song list since they said they were going to post it. Too bad they still haven’t posted it.

128. # Dan commented on June 14th, 2009:

     Thanks John for emailing the producers! Hopefully they will do what they said and post the song list soon! I did notice on the official So You Think You Can Dance website once the auditions were over they did start to list SOME songs from the episodes.

     Keep us updated if you can

129. # Jabs commented on June 17th, 2009:

     When Tony was crying after his 2nd repeat of Mia’s coreography, any idea on the 2 music tracks played in the background? One was just piano when he was crying, and then when he got told he got enough votes there was a second track that was upbeat.. Any ideas there?!

136. # John commented on June 23rd, 2009:

     keee,
     I’m really glad you like what I’ve created. However, I really can’t take all the credit. Without all the people who leave comments about the music, I wouldn’t be able to figure out many of the songs. It’s a team effort and so they all deserve credit.

137. # vegasmusic commented on June 29th, 2009:

     @ dancefan and john, any luck with that one song? 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.

138. # John commented on June 29th, 2009:

     vegasmusic,
     Nada. I keep trying to improve my connections with Fox, but no progress on this song.

139. # Zeelia Zhangsun commented on June 30th, 2009:

     Hi!
     I just saw the show here in Sweden and on the choreography by Mia Michaels, there was a calm (not upbeat) song, it was like children singing “Aaah…” kind of choir:y.

     I can’t manage to find any clip where this song is played, on all clips from mia’s choreography the song “Belief” by Gavin DeGraw is played. And im not looking for that song.

     So if anyone can help me i’d really appreciate it!
     I’ll be coming back here=)

     And John, thanks a lot for creating this wonderful site.
     //Zeelia

140. # John commented on June 30th, 2009:

     Zeelia,
     Glad to know you’re getting SYTYCD and can enjoy it on the other side of the world. Are you sure you’re not looking for: “A Beautiful World” by Tim Myers It was also used during a montage of Mia’s choreography.

141. # Zeelia Zhangsun commented on July 1st, 2009:

     Hi!
     Thanks for the quick reply, John.
     No actually, the song im looking for is without any instruments…. it sounded like the only instrument used was the choir.
     It’s very difficult to obtain a clip from SYTYCD here but i will see if i can mail the TV channel and see if they can give me any further information or maybe a clip.
     I hope someone can find this song, it’s so beautiful!
     //Zeelia

142. # Adrian W commented on July 3rd, 2009:

     Hey…. Zeelia Zhangsun, In Australia the song for Mia Michaels choreography was also those Choiry song by kids singing “EEEE……”

     but when I downloaded the episode. Appearantly in the US the original song was Belief by Gavin Degraw, But outside of the US, I think that song is unable to be use. Thus the “Choiry” song… that Ive spent 2hours finding….

     Please if anyone know this song. Let us know.

     Thank you….

143. # Matt W commented on July 3rd, 2009:

     Hey guys, i too also come from Australia and i am looking for this song which occurs before the first group choreography. It goes something like: do do do do do do do do do, i love…
     
     If anyone can find it ill be greatly happy

144. # dancefan commented on July 3rd, 2009:

     Still no luck on the song: “your left foot to the left, put your left foot to the right, shake it up to the twist”.

     

145. # JOOO commented on July 4th, 2009:

     yes i’m looking for the same “aaahhh”-choir-song as the swedes and the australians. it’s fricking fantastic, i need it so please help

146. # HANNA commented on July 4th, 2009:

     ADRIAN W: I have the same problem, except I’m looking for the song that plays instead of “Shot away” by Pawn Shop. The lyrics goes:
     “Will you be there
     when I come back home
     when I get back home

     Will you be there
     ’cause my biggest fear
     is that you won’t be waiting

     I’ll be waiting for you”

     Such an awesome song and I have GOT to have it on my ipod ASAP or I think I’ll die inside. True story.

147. # Bekka commented on July 4th, 2009:

     hey guys – does anybody know the piano song that is being played when Tony gets told he gets through and he is crying – it starts at exactly 2:14 secs – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP4VObxmVfQ

148. # das commented on July 5th, 2009:

     The song is Emmy Rossum without the singing Zeelia Zhangsun and Matt

149. # dancefan commented on July 6th, 2009:

     das: what is the name of the song? There’s no song called “Zeelia Zhangsun and Matt”??

150. # John commented on July 6th, 2009:

     dancefan,
     I think that das meant to say it was “Slow Me Down” by Emmy Rossum, but with no words? I could be wrong, but Emmy Rossum is the name of the artist and I think das was replying to the comments above that were made above by Zeelia Zhangsun and Matt.

     Let me know if I’m wrong.

151. # ozoz commented on July 8th, 2009:

     Hello, I watched that episode in Australia too and I’ve been looking for that airy “eehhh eehh… eh eh yeah” song too! It didn’t sound like “slow me down”, though it does sound like something Emmy Rossum would do. Hope someone can identify this and save me the agony!

152. # mosh commented on July 10th, 2009:

     Yes, I watched the Australian version and am dying to find out which song was played during Mia Michaels’ choreography. Too bad there’s no lyrics as it would be much easier to find…it’s not the Emmy Rossum song however.

153. # Victor commented on July 14th, 2009:

     still nothing on the ” put your left foot to the left, put your left foot to the right, shake it up with just a twist…………..dance” song?

154. # TLS commented on July 23rd, 2009:

     Yup, they overlayed Gavin DeGraw in Norway too. The Rossum song is nice, but not as nice as the overlay song.

     I’m hope someone finds out which song that was.

155. # Rachel commented on July 23rd, 2009:

     I’m still awaiting the day someone figures out the song that Victor and many others have been searching for. I have faith someone will find it!
     Everyday a little piece of me dies on the inside from now knowing the song.
     I wait patiently

156. # Ross commented on July 24th, 2009:

     Hey Guys, I’m with HANNA. I don’t know if America had this song broadcast, but it played in australia when the season 5 guys were doing their final solos (during the montage) before Kat Deeley appeared from behind the curtain, to tell the guys to go in 1 by 1 to see if they made it into the Top 20. (we believe “Shot away” by Pawn SHop was played in America at this time).
     As HANNA said, they lyrics we heard were something like this:

     “Will you be there
     when I come back home
     when I get back home

     Will you be there
     ’cause my biggest fear
     is that you won’t be waiting

     I’ll be waiting for you”

     We’ve put it into google and we just keep getting the michael jackson song. IT IS NOT THE MICHAEL JACKSON SONG.

     Does anyone have a song out there with these exact words in it? Because no lyric finder or google search can find it!
     I can send you guys an Mp3 of that exact moment. I was able to record it through the sound recorder on my iPhone.

     Send me an email with SYTYCD in the subject, and I’ll forward it onto you. ros_rulz@hotmail.com

     We’d appreciate any help you can provide. The artist sounds american. You are bound to know who it is.
     Love you Heaps!
     Ross

     Please help, im desperate for this song!

159. # John commented on September 30th, 2009:

     Eila,
     Have you looked through the full list of SYTYCD music: http://www.puresytycd.com/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-music/

     Also, if you’re looking for SYTYCD Canada music, it’s found: http://www.puresytycd.com/canada/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-canada-music/

160. # Eila commented on October 1st, 2009:

     Thanks for replying!
     Yeah i checked there and googled the scene and the song lyrics in every way i could possibly think of! Its the song playing when Maksim Kapitanniko, Caitlin Kinney, Melissa Sandvig and finally Jason Glover are told they are in he top 20 season 5 episode 5 (America not Canada ).
     Im in South Africa so we are currently only on season 5 episode 7 this evening (but as i ve been searching for this song i ve inevitably discovered the outcome!

     The lyrics for the part of the chorus i could here went:

     “I can do anything….I’ll be just fine without you….I’m gonna make it you ll see, you’ll be the one missing me”

     Whoever she is she has the most beautiful voice!

     “Will you be there
     ’cause my biggest fear
     is that you won’t be waiting

     I’ll be waiting for you”
     ?

162. # Ross commented on October 22nd, 2009:

     Me too Jen…….

     Just to re-iterate……

     The above song that Jen has posted lyrics too…….
     This song was only aired in Australia. America would have heard a different song during this montage. It was the montage just before the host (Kat) appeared from the a black curtin to send the contestants in one by one to find out if they were in the top 12.

     I heard around the web, there were copyright issues with the song that was played in America, to it was edited when played in Australia, and they just wacked this song you are trying to find.

     I AM AFTER IT TOO!!!
     It was an awesome song!

163. # Jen commented on October 26th, 2009:

     This is really frustrating… what kind of a song’s lyrics cannnot be found on the internet??
     I searched this song for hours, still nothing, it simply doesn’t exist or what? I’m going crazy because it really was an AMAZING song! I really would love to listen to that band or singer…

164. # Ross commented on October 26th, 2009:

     Exactly Jen!

     I copied that part of the episode to my iPhone and ask everyone. Boone knows it, but they do think it’s awesome!

     God help us
     I’ve never not been able to find an artist/song name/lyrics before!
     RRRRRRRR!

165. # John commented on October 26th, 2009:

     Sorry Ross and Jen. We usually are able to figure stuff out. I’ve been amazed at some of the ways the music has been figured out. Can you maybe put the audio you’re talking about up on YouTube and I’ll do a special post asking my readers if they know what the song is?

     I’ll also send it to another contact I have that might know how to figure it out.

     If you can also let me know the date it aired, which episode, things like that it will help.

166. # Jen commented on October 27th, 2009:

     Well, the air date I can’t tell for sure because I’m watching the show in Europe and I don’t know if the dates match with the rest of the world.
     But I do know that I was watching the Las Vegas episode, and the song I’m looking for is the song that played at the closing montage showing the final solo performances. Apparently in USA the song was “Shot Away” by Pawn Shop. But in the Australia version it was different. Unfortunately I didn’t have the change to copy the song to my ipod. Ross if you have the song in audio, would you please help John listen to it.
     This is driving me crazy man, it’s such a pity not being able to listen to that song…
