Channing Cooke Does Hip Hop

Written by: John

Everyone knows that Channing was my favorite on SYTYCD (partially due to my love of Blondes I think). So, of course, I totally LOVED these videos of Channing doing Hip Hop (Thanks to SYTYCDism).

This one is just beautiful of Channing:

Here is one of her and Ivan Kourmaev from SYTYCD season 2.

It’s amazing that Channing was kind of “branded” a contemporary dancer when she does Hip Hop this well. I wonder what kind of dancer Channing would consider herself. Yep, I just became even more of a Channing fan! We’re going to have to work harder next season to find these little nuggets of information before the top 20.

Where are they now? Phillip & Hok

Written by: Rabbit

SYTYCD Alums Hokuto “Hok”Konishi and Phillip “PacMan” Chbeeb just popped up yesterday on YouTube with a new dance video!  The video, entitled Office Life, was created and filmed over a three day period and centers on three office employees that “raise hell in furious protest to their mundane, frustrating nine to five job. they make quite a mess in the process. :)

Fun Stuff!

Enjoy!!!

Chelsie Hightower and Katee Shean Can Sing?

Written by: John

This video is really dark, but seeing Chelsie Hightower sing just made me laugh. I think Katee Shean is the girl on the far side from Chelsie also. Not sure about the girl in the middle. Anyway, this gave me a good laugh, but it doesn’t seem that Chelsie will be following in Julianne’s footsteps with a singing career on top of her dancing career. Enjoy!

SYTYCD and American Idol Performance

Written by: John

I really have no idea how it’s possible that I missed this video of some of the best So You Think You Can Dance performers dancing on American Idol. Ok, I’m not a huge American Idol fan, but the dancers from So You Think You Can Dance were awesome.

Chelsie Hightower and Lacey Schwimmer In Trouble on Dancing with the Stars

Written by: John

UPDATE: Lacey and Steve-O were sent home on Dancing with the Stars.

I’m certain that a lot of fans of So You Think You Can Dance have been following the past So You Think You Can Dance cast to see how they’re doing on Dancing with the Stars. I meant to give more regular updates, but just didn’t find the time.

As you probably already know, Dmitry and Holly were voted off the show a couple weeks ago. I know I was a little bit surprised, although looking back it kind of makes sense that Holly doesn’t have the most passionate following. Men who like Playboy aren’t exactly the target market for Dancing with the Stars and are definitely not the kind of people that pick up the phone and vote. Regardless I’d still really like to see Dmitry back for another season on the show.

This week Chelsie and Lacey are both in the bottom 2. That really doesn’t bode well for either of them. I personally think that it might just be time for Steve-O to go home. Although, he probably does have a few more fans than Ty so it could be a close one. Either way, it’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that both Chelsie and Lacey have lame duck partners and they’re lucky to still be on the show at all.

I’m sure that Chelsie and Lacey are fighting as hard as they can to stay on the show since the farther they make it on the show, the more they get paid. At least if they get paid similar to Shawn Johnson on Dancing with the Stars. Plus, maybe there’s just a little bit of pride for being the last So You Can Dance alumnus still on Dancing with the Stars.

Since I’ve always focused on the music from So You Think You Can Dance, I should also link you to a list of all the Dancing with the Stars 2009 music. They’re still not on par with So You Think You Can Dance, but they have done 100 times better this year than in past years.

Kourtni Lind in Independent Film “Dirty Step Upstage”

Written by: John

I just got information that Season 4 contestant of SYTYCD, Kourtni Lind, is in an ALM Talkies independent film, a reality thriller called “DIRTY STEP UPSTAGE.” You never know what you’ll get out of an independent film, but this one looks like it could be pretty interesting to see a little behind the curtains of the entertainment industry.

The following is a trailer for “Dirty Step Upstage” with a couple quick shots of Kourtni.

Always fun to catch up with some of the past contestants and see where their career has taken them.

Video of Brandon Norris (Tap Boy) on ABDC

Written by: John

Brandon Norris was a huge feature on the SYTYCD 3 tryouts and then performed in the finale of SYTYCD is now a member of the Dynamic Edition crew on America’s Best Dance Crew. I could only find a couple of videos of Brandon Norris and his harem of ladies on ABDC, but it’s pretty cool that they’re able to bring a crew as unique as there’s to ABDC. Too bad he couldn’t make it on SYTYCD.

SYTYCD Alumni Dominic, Hok and Ryan on ABDC

Written by: John

SYTYCD season 1’s Ryan Conferido and SYTYCD season 3’s Hok Konishi and Dominic Sandoval are all apart of the Quest Crew on ABDC on MTV. This crew has been tearing it up. I personally think they were by far the best crew the first week of ABDC and they haven’t let up all season.

In case you missed the videos, check out Quest Crew on ABDC.
