SYTYCD New Orleans Auditions Discussion Thread
How about those dancers in New Orleans? I’m expecting them to be not just the best of Season 6 so far, but of any season of So You Think You Can Dance ever. Okay, maybe I’m a little biased. But not by much. Lol A friend of mine recently said a friend of theirs is on the show tonight and is a phenomenal dancer. And we already know Adam Shankman was excited about one dancer in New Orleans.
Did they rise to my high expectations and yours?
Either way, there’s no way a second dose of SYTYCD this week is a bad thing. 🙂
[After the show…]
And they brought it! Several solid dancers from New Orleans that I suspect might have a chance at Top 20. Can’t wait for Vegas.
But first, I was lucky enough to watch the taping of Jakob Karr’s audition and he was the dancer that Adam Shankman Tweeted about, as I reported on my blog back in June. I hadn’t matched the name to the dancer, but I was hoping that it was him. Also heard a lot about Justin Kenney (the b-boy they took a “huge gamble” on by sending to Vegas) from other folks at the auditions and I’m watching for him now, too.
And I’ll be watching for Diana Drexler (whose grandfather died and she was able to perform) in Vegas as well.
Who will you be watching for?
First thought? Was Mary drunk at the beginning of the show? Not too hard to believe in New Orleans…
Also, *everyone* is saying New Orleans wrong. ;”) “Nawlins,” not “New OR-leeens.”
Emilie, I agree with you on the Mary concept. She was acting a little strange at the beginning but maybe that’s just her? Not really sure.
I was very pleased with the talent in New Orleans. Why hasn’t SYTYCD done more there? Now on to specifics. I was a little concerned at the beginning about the “New Orleans Bouncer,” but when he hit the stage he sure was entertaining. I feel like New Orleans had a lot of great contemporary/jazz dancers. There wasn’t a large variety, but I was okay with that due to the talent level. I was a little surprised at the emotion level of this episode. The episode had several tear jerking stories, but I don’t think they were too over the top.
Overall, it was a great city with great dancers. I can see some of the dancers on tonight’s episode possibly making the top 20. Excited to hear what others have to think
@Johnny Mar: I wonder if they made her film some auditions before she’d gotten to change clothes from the night before. New Orleans is that kind of city, especially for folks with just a few days in town, so I sympathasize. She was in that gorgeous green dress when I got to ask her a few questions. 🙂
I’m glad you liked the New Orleans dancers! I was so glad that I did as well, that my city represented itself well.
can anyone believe ryan kasprzak got cut?
No, I was kinda bummed about that. There’s still the “other brother”…except he doesn’t dance, I don’t think.
