Tonight’s auditions should be amazing as Salt Lake City and NYC have performed well in the past. Though, the commercial for tonight’s episode makes it look like NYC might disappoint. Let’s hope the trend of lots of GOOD dancers continues. I’ll be adding the music once the show starts and feel free to help me out – I need all I can get.

Levels Music Group (composers of many of your favorite songs from last week) have let us know that more of their music will be featured tonight and that the songs you’re looking for should soon be available. Updates later! Keep your ears out for your new favorite tunes.

If anyone can figure out the “yes to Vegas” montage at the end of the NYC auditions, I would be REALLY happy. I’ve been trying to figure that one out for a while now, and it has me stumped! Thanks you!!

Does anyone know where you can listen to “Now Is Your Time” by Blaire Reinhard Band? I know it’s not on iTunes, but I would really like to listen to the whole thing. Can’t find it anywhere. How did anyone know what it was?
# Emilie commented on June 5th, 2011:
@Natalie: I re-checked with iTunes and with Amazon, but it’s still not available. JC Flow has some other tunes up, though. I know it’s not the same, but maybe check out “Ima’ Go Hard” in the meantime.
