I am a blogger and reality tv lover. I blog here for SYTYCD but mostly the Canada version, since I live in Vancouver BC. I also blog about other reality tv shows on my own blog www.mandysmind.com
Quick, catch that song! Missed it? Okay, I think I got it. Check it out:
Opening montage (outside in line): “Brass Knuckles” Living Things
Teddy Tedholm interview (whimsical bow-tie guy): “Smarty Pants” Phil Flowers & His United Family
Teddy Tedholm audition (and don’t forget the golf pants from his mom): “If It Kills Me” Jason Mraz
Jean Lloret: “Wrath of Kane” Big Daddy Kane – Can’t find this on iTunes, but try “Boom,” another song of his.
Kimara Wood (dred-lock guy) and a bit of Jean Llorent outside: “Touched” VAST
Channing Cook (ice cream scooper) interview: “Rockaway Beach” The Ramones (thanks Mada!)
Channing Cook (she’s 18 and a “tomboy”) audition: “A Beautiful Mess” Jason Mraz
Ryan Casey (tall tapper): I thought it was “The Hop” by either Kenzu or Radio Citizen (not on iTunes), but it’s “Stomp” by Quincy Jones.
Russell Ferguson: “Melt!” Flying Lotus
Fabrizio Jenkins: “Woman Friend” Chromeo (thanks to Mada again – what a star!)
Choreography: “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” Pitbull
Karen & Matthew Hauer (married couple): “She Wants to Move” N.E.R.D.

Gene Bernstein (opens the shirt, pulls faces) audition and also, later, Kevin “K-Bez” Hunte: “Boom Boom Boom” Black Eyed Peas
Paul Magliato (isn’t this guy too old for the show?) interview: “Relax” Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Paul Magliato (46-year old in tights, yuck) audition: “Vida la Vida” Coldplay
Montage: “Fire Burning” Sean Kingston
The Tyce Diorio Dr. Evil montage: “Dr. Evil: Doctor of Evil” Minus Five
Last song is called “Rise,” but I don’t know who the artist is.

Any early thoughts about the folks representing Boston? Rants? Raves?
This season, we get to see if Ryan Kasprzak, brother of Season 6’s Evan Kasprzak, makes it to the Top 20. It seems there have been a lot of connections between contestants in the past! Here’s what I have so far — who else am I forgetting? Comment below!
Missing Phillip Chbeeb’s “handi-work”? Check out this dance to the theme music from Tetris, created and filmed in less than 24 hours:
I was looking through some YouTube videos trying to see if I could fish out any dance videos on the SYTYCDC 2 contestants. I came across Melanie Mah in her Rhythm Dance 2009 competition dancing to “Werewolf” by Cocorosie. Her accents are so strong but when she doesn’t, she is so fluent with her movement. Her arms trace the aura of talent around her! 😛 Also, I was delighted to find out that my Contemporary dance teacher is Victoria M., who was a finalist on SYTYCDC 2. She was eliminated during the ballroom round, I believe. She is definitely amazing (as seen in the second video below), and is so nice!
Melanie Mah
I also believe she used some of the choreography in this video (noticeably at 2:07 – 2:13) for her audition routine to Santigold’s “You’ll Find a Way (Remix)”.

SYTYCD for outstanding costumes, I also know who won the Emmy for outstanding choreography too. Well before I tell you who won there a few things you should know, who decides who wins. In this particular category there can be more than one winner. The panel is made up of peer choreographers who decide who wins and then has it confirmed. Yes I did a bit of research on the Emmy home page. As everyone know here the four dances for SYTYCD that were nominated. In addition to those there were two other nominees. DWTS Derek and Julianne Hough and Rob Ashford for the 81st Academy Awards that was hosted by Hugh Jackman. The only thing I don’t know is if they base it on the choreography alone or if the performance of the choreography plays apart.
On September 12, 2009 the creative arts Emmys were given out. This year there were two winners for outstanding choreography. The first winner was Rob Ashford for his “Musicals are Back”. The second winner was Tyce Diorio for “Silence” also known as Adam and Eve performed by Jessica and Will. Check out the video from the original airing…I left in the rehearsal process and the judges comments too.
I think Tyce is deserving of this award. All the nominees are deserving of this award, and don’t get upset if your favorite didn’t win, I’m sure they will be nominated again.
Dance is one of my biggest passions. I grew up dancing at Augusta West Dance Studio (the same studio that Kathryn McCormick). I have a BFA in theatre/dance from Valdosta State University. Tap is my favorite style of dance.
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
