SYTYCD Flashback: Benji and Heidi’s Black Mambo

Written by: John

I believe that this quite possibly could be the most popular and most technical dance ever performed on So You Think You Can Dance. Benji and Heidi are just so refined, so technical and so precise in this dance. It’s like they’ve been doing it since they were kids. Oh that’s right, they have been.

Enjoy the Black Mambo Angel & The Mambokats - Horizontal Mambo - Black Mambo sung by Angel and the Mambokats by Benji Schwimmer and Heidi Groskreutz

Disclaimer: I have a huge Heidi fan, so anything I say will certainly be biased when it comes to Heidi.

SYTYCD’s William Wingfield Singing with Celine Dion

Written by: John

People have been totally freaking out about Twitch being in Hairspray. Well, it turns out that William Wingfield isn’t just Debbie Allen’s dancer, but it looks like he also did some work with Celine Dion. Take a look at this video of William Wingfield with Celine Dion (scroll to about the 5 minute mark):

Certainly he’s just singing raping not dancing, but it’s still interesting to see what he was doing before SYTYCD. I don’t think this will draw the same ire as Twitch in Hairspray, but it makes me wonder how he got the job with Celine Dion. I can’t believe that he just got the job as a “singer” for the show. I have to believe that he was a dancer with Celine Dion and they asked him to do this little bit of extra.

Assuming that he was dancing for Celine Dion’s show, it’s amazing how far SYTYCD has come. When Benji Schwimmer won in season 2, his reward was to dance for Celine Dion’s show. I guess now that’s just the entry criteria.

Flashback: Benji Schwimmer’s Solo in the Finale

Written by: John

Seeing Benji Schwimmer on the show tonight was a lot of fun. I don’t think he did the best choreography tonight, but I think he is the most famous SYTYCD alum out there. He definitely deserved to win and I think that this solo pretty much shows his versatility and ability to please the crowd.

I don’t think we have a Benji this season, but still plenty of talent to go around. Also, it’s worth going back and watching my favorite Benji and Heidi video and a close runner up.
