Adam Shankman Becomes Permanent Judge on SYTYCD
As reported yesterday by various media outlets, the insane and talented Adam Shankman has been named a permanent judge on SYTYCD. I don’t know about you guys, but this makes me so happy! Adam’s comments are always hilarious and insightful at the same time. I think his personality works really well with Nigel and Mary as well.
Below are two videos, both from season 3. The first is the opening number that he choreographed for the top 14 to “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray. The second one is some “behind the choreography”, start at about 1:32.
Everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion, but I think the producers made a solid choice in adding Adam. Get ready to see him every week starting October 23rd!

What is it like to be choreographed by Adam? Start at 1:32
I’m totally cool with Adam Shankman being a full time judge. The problem I have is if they leave Mary Murphy as a full time judge. I kind of like having a rotating judge and 4 judges is too many. Please get rid of the scream fest who adds no value.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS! 😀 WOO WOO WOO! I’m so excited and happy for Shanks!!
I am so excited by this! I wonder if they’re going to continue to have a guest judge as well, or if it will just be the 3 of them on the panel. I can’t wait to see Adam each week! He’s my favorite!
hooray! he and Debbie Allen are my favorite judges! And Mia. I love that he mixes humor with constructive criticism. he’s not too mean and he’s not too soft. And he actually give worthwhile comments.
this is great now if we could only get rid of mary
I was a bit distracted by the fact that Cat was orange. ;”) I’m really glad that Adam’s gonna be a permanent judge. I’m curious to see what it will do the dynamic, for sure. Stop knocking Mary, John. I think she’s a good judge when she uses her words, rather than her screams. Lol.
Emilie,
That was me being nice to Mary. Usually I’m much harsher.
Tell you what, once she does start using her words instead of her scream, then I’ll let up a little more.
Here, I’ll even be a little nice…
I don’t mind having her as a judge once or twice a season.
I’m so excited that they picked Adam Shankman! I feel like he gives one of the more honest critics without giving away too much who his favorites are. And he doesn’t just give praise but constructive criticism.
I wonder if they really need a permanent judge so that Mary can choreograph on occasion. Mia and Tyce serve as judges as well as choreograph and before Mary was inducted full time as a judge she used to choreograph amazing pieces like S2 Travis and Heidi Paso Doble. Even so, I’d like to see some of her pieces get an Emmy nomination (half kidding! I’m sure she wants in on it too :P)
And John and del:
Maybe this way Mary won’t be screaming so much 😛
I’m so glad I’m not alone in my love of their pick of Adam. John, I totally feel you on the Mary screaming thing. Sometimes she has really intelligent critiques to give (way more than Paula ever had on Idol) but sometimes that scream is like fingernails on the chalkboard! And put that together with Adam’s zany personality, it’s definitely going to be a wild ride. Christine, I hope they let Mary choreograph again! I loved her paso for Heidi and Travis and her Samba for Dmitry and Donyelle. I know this is probably what’s going to happen, but I hope they don’t jump to 4 judges, it just seems like too many and we can’t fully appreciate each judge’s opinions and critiques.
I do hope this doesn’t mean we’re getting a full time set of 3 judges. >_< I prefer the rotating judges, it keeps everyone on their toes and we get to see and know the choreographers more.
Yea I like seeing different judges as well. Otherwise it gets boring. I love Debbie Allen too, she just cracks me up.
“The problem I have is if they leave Mary Murphy as a full time judge.”
And leave the panel completely ballroom-free? As a ballroom dancer, I’m insulted.
I thought Nigel was a ballroom dancer. ballroom/tap
I really hope they keep a rotating judge spot cause I love Tyce and Mia and Nappytabs, and all other choreographer’s opinions when they serve as judges…
I like Adam, but I prefered him as a rotating judge, sometimes he can be a little too nice, kinda like Paula.. just my opinion, not trying to step on any toes who like him, that’s just how I feel.. But he is a huge part of the SYTYCD family cause he has put dancer’s in his film’s and stuff..
