SYTYCD All Stars
Alright Fox, you listening? Good…
So You Think You Can Dance All Stars! Similar to Survivor’s All Stars season, this would have the top 4 of the first five seasons going head to head in an automatic Top Top 20. 🙂
Imagine:
Season 1: Nick, Melody, Jamile and Ashle
Season 2: Benji, Travis, Donyelle and Heidi
Season 3: Sabra, Danny, Neil and Lacey
Season 4: Josh, Twitch, Katee and Courtney
Season 5: Jeanine, Ade, Kayla and Evan (my own imaginary, for the moment, top 4)
Dream couples anyone? Oh the routines we’d see!! Who would you love to come back that wasn’t in the top 4 of their season? Personally, for me, I’d really love to see Chelsie, Kherington and Mark from Season 4. Lauren, Kameron, Hok and Pasha from Season 3 (my first season). Caitlin, Randi and Paris from this season dancing with the all stars from seasons past.
You hearing me? Fox? Fans? Dancers? Okay, let’s do it. 🙂
I don’t watch Survivor, but this sounds like a great idea. Of course there would have to be somesort of incentive for the dancers to come back…
As for non-top 4 dancers I’d like to see Blake (season 1), Alison (season 2), Sara (season 3), and Chelsie and Mark (season 4).
If Kayla makes the top four, how beautiful would a Danny/Kayla routine be? And I’d love to see Jeanine/Travis contemporary or a Neil/Jeanine broadway. Oh how I wish this would happen!
no not Evan, Brandon and don’t Kayla or Melisa, not sure why Jeanette went last week, she was by far the better female dancer and it’s is time for a female to win.
Evan is cute? but not that good a dancer except broadway, so let him go do broadway.
My opinion 🙂
#Laurabo got it right. BRANDON, Ade, Jeanine and Kayla for this season’s top 4. Evan is cute but being cute and being a versatile dancer aren’t the same thing. Evan rocks Broadway and muddles his way through everything else. Brandon has demonstrated his ability to nail every style he draws – and with pizzazz. He’s so good that he makes it look easy. This week will be the first time Brandon gets to dance in his own style since the show started.
great idea. love it. but travis, nick, neil, danny, benji, katee, joshua, and twitch will totally rule it.
and season’s 5’s dancers will kind of flop (sorry but this season isn’t really really good compared to the rest). :S probably except jeanine.
but it might also be kind of stale. like most of them are either contemporary or jazz or classical (with the exception of twitch and josh). and except for the ballroom dancers.
but i think it’ll be highly unlikely that this sytycd all stars would happen, but i’d love to see what happens if it really did. but all these dancers are all so busy with their own work now, and i’m sure they won’t want to be trapped by sytycd, as in they’re more known as a dancer from sytycd rather than a dancer on their own?
did that make sense? bleah. that’s what i think, i guess. 😮
I don’t know if many dancers who had the chance to showcase their talents in front of millions of people once more would pass it up. I mean, many of them probably have other things going on, but none of it is likely as public as another stint on TV could be.
I think it would cost too much to do, in actuality, because now these dancers are commanding much more for their time, so it would likely mean shelling out more in fees, and they wouldn’t probably take time off from their personal work 100%.
Then again, it’d be cool and I’d love to see Allison come back from season 2 (she was one of my favorites) and I love love loved Katee from season 4 and Hok from season 3.
Maybe we could also do SYTYCD top dancers in each style: contemporary, ballroom, latin, jazz, hip-hop and “other”. Then we could really see the best from each genre do their thing–think Anya and Pasha (best latin dancers on the show, ever, IMO); Danny and Melissa (classical style); Sara (whom I love love loved) and Ivan; Jeanine and Travis (omg what a pairing). You could have an all-guy hip-hop thing (Twitch, Joshua, Hok, Phillip, Dominic, Ivan)…I’d love to see all the best dancers in their strengths.
An all-star that doesnt include Mark Kanemura? Not interested.
Good idea…but most likely would never happen. All the winners are off doing something with like a contract. And what would be the point exactly? We all know them and know there skills. We’d just have to pick one that we like more out of the group? It seems unethical. I mean I would not bring back the winners for sure. Because they would have a lead if this ever happened. Skip the winner and at the fifth person to leave in. I don’t know….how would the judges judges? Just to see who grows? Hmmmph….
Anything without Ivan and Allison from Season 2 would not be worth watching, IMO.
I think people are missing the point of this post a little bit. First, the issue isn’t really would it happen. That doesn’t mean we can’t dream about what amazing choreography we’d get if they did bring back all of these past dancers.
In fact, the show could even not pay to have choreographers and could just have the past dancers (many who are now choreographers) be in charge of the choreography or something. Anyway, it’s nice to dream a little right?
What’s probably more realistic is of course not trying to get the top 4 from each season which would be pretty much impossible, but instead just getting 20 great/interesting dancers from past seasons. I’m sure this could be done. I think we’d be surprised how little many of the past dancers are making for their dancing skills.
That said, I think this is quite the long shot, but would be incredible to see.
I would love it if they would do an all-star season and have dreamed about it myself! My brother made a good point, though. I think the winners of their respective seasons should be disqualified, simply becuase they’ve already got the title. Therefore, add in a dancer that wasn’t in the Top 4.
Season 1: Artem
Season 2: Dmitry – if I could pick a girl,though hands down Allison.
Season 3: Sara – but I’d rather pick Kam or Pasha.
Season 4: MARK!!!! No question.
I LOVE Beth’s idea. Instead of an “All Stars” (because, as Kelsey mentioned, who wants to pick favs out of our favs), they should totally do a “best of ____ style” night. In fact, that SHOULD have been their 100th show! Put the best hip hoppers together, the best Latin, etc. Totally new choreography. It would have been awesome!!!
These are all terrific comments!
Anama, you cracked me up.
I guess (as a Survivor fan), I’m fascinated by how our voting might be different after a popular dancer’s particular season, how they would fare against the “best of the best,” against each other. However, perhaps we’ll just have to follow their post-SYTYCD careers to the best of our abilities because you’re all very right to point out how difficult it would be to get them back with little annoying things like contracts in the way. 🙂
Which reminds me. I can’t wait for Fame.
