So You Think You Can Dance Las Vegas Week Music – Episode 1
As I’ll be doing throughout the season, I plan on posting all of the So You Think You Can Dance 2009 music. So far the music from this season has been amazing and I don’t expect that to change. However, the Las Vegas week music is sometimes harder to figure out than other weeks. So, I’m posting this early so that people can leave comments as they figure out the various music from So You Think You Can Dance Las Vegas week episode 1. I plan on updating this post throughout the night.
As a side note while you wait for the start of SYTYCD, Ash Koley’s “Don’t Let Your Feet Touch Ground” is now on iTunes for those who wanted to download the song, but it wasn’t available.
Music Heard on Tonight show (still needs to be placed in order, hopefully)
Montage at the 5 min. mark (montage of first solo dances) was “Dance With Me” by The Old 97’s
Tabitha and Napoleon’s choreography was to the song “Boom Boom Pow” by Black Eyed Peas
Jean-Marc Genereux waltz choreography to the song “May It Be” by Hayley Westenra
Sonya’s choreography was to the song “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings
Gabi Rojas did a solo to “dance for her life” to the song “Four Women” by Nina Simone
Natalie Reid gets sent home to the song “Coldfront” by Amie Miriello
Brandon Bryant saved, talks about Natalie Reid and says good bye to Natalie Reid to the song “Wave Goodbye” by Mike Schmid
Mia’s choreography was to the song “Belief” (Stripped Version) by Gavin DeGraw
Montage of those passing Mia’s choreography was to the song “A Beautiful World” by Tim Myers
Group choreography ? was to the song “Slow Me Down” by Emmy Rossum
Female Broadway by Tyce DiOrio was to the song “America” from West Side Story
Male Broadway by Tyce DiOrio was to the song “Cool” from West Side Story
Waltz, No. 2 (XO) by Elliott Smith
“Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell
“Freeze” by T-Pain and Chris Brown
“Make You Feel My Love” by Adele
“Hold You In My Arms” By Ray Lamontagne
“Freeze” by T-Pain (feat. Chris Brown)
Closing Montage showing the final solo performances was to the song “Shot Away” (Buy Single on Amazon) by Pawn Shop (Although many people say this sounds a lot like “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones , the words are close but not the same)
During the end credits was the song “Dance With Me” by Old 97s
**I counted up the number of different pieces of music on tonight’s episode and I counted 83 pieces of music. Granted a number of the songs were used a couple times and some of it was just background music that no one cares about, but that’s still a lot of music. I guess it’s hard to do much dance without music.
So You Think You Can Dance Las Vegas Week Music Hour 1
Too many to list…
So You Think You Can Dance Las Vegas Week Music Hour 2
Too many to list…
Hello, I watched that episode in Australia too and I’ve been looking for that airy “eehhh eehh… eh eh yeah” song too! It didn’t sound like “slow me down”, though it does sound like something Emmy Rossum would do. Hope someone can identify this and save me the agony!
Yes, I watched the Australian version and am dying to find out which song was played during Mia Michaels’ choreography. Too bad there’s no lyrics as it would be much easier to find…it’s not the Emmy Rossum song however.
still nothing on the ” put your left foot to the left, put your left foot to the right, shake it up with just a twist…………..dance” song?
Yup, they overlayed Gavin DeGraw in Norway too. The Rossum song is nice, but not as nice as the overlay song.
I’m hope someone finds out which song that was.
I’m still awaiting the day someone figures out the song that Victor and many others have been searching for. I have faith someone will find it!
Everyday a little piece of me dies on the inside from now knowing the song.
I wait patiently 🙂
Hey Guys, I’m with HANNA. I don’t know if America had this song broadcast, but it played in australia when the season 5 guys were doing their final solos (during the montage) before Kat Deeley appeared from behind the curtain, to tell the guys to go in 1 by 1 to see if they made it into the Top 20. (we believe “Shot away” by Pawn SHop was played in America at this time).
As HANNA said, they lyrics we heard were something like this:
“Will you be there
when I come back home
when I get back home
Will you be there
’cause my biggest fear
is that you won’t be waiting
I’ll be waiting for you”
We’ve put it into google and we just keep getting the michael jackson song. IT IS NOT THE MICHAEL JACKSON SONG.
Does anyone have a song out there with these exact words in it? Because no lyric finder or google search can find it!
I can send you guys an Mp3 of that exact moment. I was able to record it through the sound recorder on my iPhone.
Send me an email with SYTYCD in the subject, and I’ll forward it onto you. ros_rulz@hotmail.com
We’d appreciate any help you can provide. The artist sounds american. You are bound to know who it is.
Love you Heaps!
Ross
Has anyone managed to find the overlay song to Gavin DeGraw…
im obsessed with trying to find that song…
Hi! im looking for the song played on episode 5…when the top 20 are chosen. Its the most amazing song ever but i just cant find it ANYWHERE! The lyrics go: “I’m gonna make it you’ll see, you’ll be the one missing me”
Please help, im desperate for this song!
Eila,
Have you looked through the full list of SYTYCD music: https://puresytycd.com/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-music/
Also, if you’re looking for SYTYCD Canada music, it’s found: https://puresytycd.com/canada/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-canada-music/
Thanks for replying!
Yeah i checked there and googled the scene and the song lyrics in every way i could possibly think of! Its the song playing when Maksim Kapitanniko, Caitlin Kinney, Melissa Sandvig and finally Jason Glover are told they are in he top 20 season 5 episode 5 (America not Canada 🙂 ).
Im in South Africa so we are currently only on season 5 episode 7 this evening (but as i ve been searching for this song i ve inevitably discovered the outcome! 🙂
The lyrics for the part of the chorus i could here went:
“I can do anything….I’ll be just fine without you….I’m gonna make it you ll see, you’ll be the one missing me”
Whoever she is she has the most beautiful voice!
hey thanx for a great website John!
I’m still desperately searching, anyone found the song with the lyrics
“Will you be there
’cause my biggest fear
is that you won’t be waiting
I’ll be waiting for you”
?
Me too Jen…….
Just to re-iterate……
The above song that Jen has posted lyrics too…….
This song was only aired in Australia. America would have heard a different song during this montage. It was the montage just before the host (Kat) appeared from the a black curtin to send the contestants in one by one to find out if they were in the top 12.
I heard around the web, there were copyright issues with the song that was played in America, to it was edited when played in Australia, and they just wacked this song you are trying to find.
I AM AFTER IT TOO!!!
It was an awesome song!
This is really frustrating… what kind of a song’s lyrics cannnot be found on the internet??
I searched this song for hours, still nothing, it simply doesn’t exist or what? I’m going crazy because it really was an AMAZING song! I really would love to listen to that band or singer…
Exactly Jen!
I copied that part of the episode to my iPhone and ask everyone. Boone knows it, but they do think it’s awesome!
God help us
I’ve never not been able to find an artist/song name/lyrics before!
RRRRRRRR!
Sorry Ross and Jen. We usually are able to figure stuff out. I’ve been amazed at some of the ways the music has been figured out. Can you maybe put the audio you’re talking about up on YouTube and I’ll do a special post asking my readers if they know what the song is?
I’ll also send it to another contact I have that might know how to figure it out.
If you can also let me know the date it aired, which episode, things like that it will help.
Well, the air date I can’t tell for sure because I’m watching the show in Europe and I don’t know if the dates match with the rest of the world.
But I do know that I was watching the Las Vegas episode, and the song I’m looking for is the song that played at the closing montage showing the final solo performances. Apparently in USA the song was “Shot Away” by Pawn Shop. But in the Australia version it was different. Unfortunately I didn’t have the change to copy the song to my ipod. Ross if you have the song in audio, would you please help John listen to it.
This is driving me crazy man, it’s such a pity not being able to listen to that song…
Thanks John
I have done just that.

Calling out,
Are you saying that there are other blogs and forums that have a better list of SYTYCD music than this site?
Just kidding. We’re far from perfect on this site. So, if you can find the answer on another site, that’s great with us. Just please come back and tell us since we try our best to figure out as much SYTYCD music as we can on this site.
Thanks!
Hey ya ! If any kind soul could name the following overlay song of mia’s choreography i would be deeply appreciated
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3WiTkZRIA0

Eriol,
I think this is the list of music that we figured out from the episode in question: https://puresytycd.com/2009/06/03/so-you-think-you-can-dance-las-vegas-week-music-episode-1/ Hopefully one of the songs listed for Mia is the one you’re looking for.
Thx for the reply john but i’ve heard every single song on that list, and it isnt any of those, i belive its the same song Adrian and Zeelia are looking for aswell.
EROIL THANKSS FOR POSTING THAT ON YOUTUBE!!!!

I believe it was Season 5, Episode 2 where they had a montage of all contestants with a beautiful song. The only lyrics I can recall are “you move across the dancefloor”… can someone please help me find the name of the Artist and the Title?
Thanks!
Hi John
Did you ever found the electric song I asked about on June 14th, 2009?
“put your left foot to the left, put your left foot to the right, shake it up to the twist”
Hope you can give me a reply here 🙂
Thank you
– dancefan
I’ll ask the human jukebox (Marianya) and see if she can figure it out. She’s 100 times better at this than me.
Ah, thanks for the fast reply.
I’ll be waiting then 🙂
Cindy Lajoie – I listened through the Season 5 Episode 2 (Memphis and Miami auditions) for the song that you mentioned and did not come across any that had the lyrics you mentioned. Is there any other information that you could provide that we could use for the search? Thank you
DanceFan – I listened to the song, at the moment (well most of Memorial Day weekend) I haven’t been able to find the song, nor has anyone else in the internet world apparently. This might take some time, though I know you’ve been waiting for a year. Thank you for your patience. 🙂
Marianya:
Thank you for your reply.
I’ve tried several search methods on Google without and luck as well 🙁
I think I need some lyrics-recognizing search engine…
Nobody knows what song Mia used for her choreography during Vegas week? Eriol?
Charlotte,
I sent an email to our “human jukebox” to see if she has any idea. She wasn’t with us in season 5. Hopefully she can help you out.
Charlotte – Unfortunately the original song that was used for Mia’s contemporary piece during Vegas Week is indeed Gavin DeGraw’s “Belief” (Stripped Version).
Every now and then a cable station (I believe MTV in this case) would have reruns of SYTYCD for viewer enjoyment, however, the problem is that not all songs are cleared for airing the second time around, so more often than not the original song would be replaced by another song. The YouTube video clip you provided is one such case.
Since the audio clip of this “new” song is instrumental, it’ll be harder to pinpoint exactly where it came from, moreso since there isn’t any other place online that provide song/artist information.
We will keep trying, but just keep the above in mind. Thank you. 🙂
John & Marianya – Thanks a million! 😉
Please help me,,i’ve searched this song high and low and still cant find it,,,this song was played during the audition,,so caitlin was performing and then she was asked to dance for her life/dance 1 more time,,,
everybody says that it’s called winter song by sara barailles but that’s not what i meant..The song just contain choir singing “eee” like that(the song type is just like Enya’s song) please help,,Thx
(oh and everybody else used this song too,,but the spotlight was a man and caitlin,,sorry for my bad english and retarded question,but i just desperately want to know this song’s title)
I personally hope that someone can find this african-children type song since everyone seems want to find it
Btw is this page dead?because i just didnt see anymore comment in here
Hi Charlotte!
Thanks a lot for posting that link, I’ve been wanting to hear this song for a very long time since i requested this for about a year ago 😛
Unfortunately, no success in finding the song has been.
Zeelia,
Unfortunately, no one has been able to find the song you’re looking for. The page is just mostly dead since it’s from last season. It still gets some traffic on occasion. Most people are checking out the music from the latest season: https://puresytycd.com/tag/so-you-think-you-can-dance-music/
What’s the song SYTYCD used for the Vegas Week when Alex, Kent and another guy were dancing…it was contemporary and I think Travis choreographed it. The judges were saying that Alex was great except he needed more emotions on his face. It’s been bothering me…thanks!
omg it’s been a year and still no one knows which song that is! I’ve emailed network ten (the broadcaster in Australia) and I’ll post whatever they get back to me (if they do at all). Thanks for the youtube recording, made things so much easier!
