Part 2 the SYTYCD Tour Meet and Greet
If you are going to the tour hang out after the show because the dancers come out to meet the fans. I recommend a spot next to a young fan…they stop longer for the little ones. I was actually able to ask some questions…I’m guessing not too many people in Atlanta wanted to wait out in the cold. I was standing next to a first grader who had four favorites and she told each one of them too. Her favorites were Phillip, Kayla, Brandon and Jeanine. Each one of them gave her a hug and took a picture with her but it was Brandon who surprised me. I couldn’t hear what she said to him but he decided that he wanted to have a picture of the two of them so he pulled out his phone and got one, such a cute moment.
While Brandon was around me someone asked him if he thought Mia’s comments to him during Vegas week were real or were they just said for the show. He said he really didn’t know because it is in their contracts that they cannot talk to the judges about any critiques that are given. He said they have to wait a few months after the show is over before they can talk about it. Also the ladies next to me asked everyone what it was like to be on Ellen…for the most part they all enjoyed it.
I did get to talk to a few of them myself. I asked Kupono if he thought he might go into maybe starting his on clothing/costume line. He said that he might somewhere down the line, it something that he is interested in. In the program he said that he is designing everyone’s Halloween costumes. Caitlin was next I asked about her sister, if she auditioned for season 6. She said yeah but she was cut during Vegas week. I asked mainly because I didn’t see her or I just missed her or something. When Melissa and Ade came by I had to tell them what the breast cancer piece meant to me. Ade really is a sweet guy; I wish I could have had a longer conversation with him. I commented on the difference of seeing that particular dance live. He agreed by saying he had been hearing that a lot. He seemed somewhat surprised by this but then he said that they (producers) will show what they want to show.
While waiting for some of the dancers to make it down to where I was…some of us were talking to a guy that travels with them on tour. That is how I found out Janette was sick and if fact most of them were getting over being sick. He has worked on the American Idol tours and the SYTYCD tour since season 3. He said that all the dancers that he has met have been great with the fans will try to sign everything that they can. This is where he said there was only one dancer that had a diva type attitude. Of course he couldn’t tell us, but he did give us a hint and we took a guess. All of us guess correctly on the first try…hmm I would like to see who you guys think he was talking about. So leave a guess on the comments below and I post the answer later in the week. (John I already told you who it was so you can’t say anything)
I met them all after the Milwaukee show minus Kayla, Jason, and Janette and they’re all so sweet, I def think kaylas the one with the diva attitude.
I think it’s Lauren, or maybe Blake.
Was it Kayla?
If it was Kayla, she certainly wasn’t like that in Indianapolis! i have a pic, an autograph, and a convo to prove it!
Haha okay let me give you guys a clue. Its not a girl…lol. I would have said Blake myself if season one did a tour. Another clue your can only choose between season 3-5.
please, please don’t let it be danny.
i would have lacey, but if it’s not a girl…
will or jason?
Sabra? I don’t know why (I didn’t even watch season 3), but I don’t like her.
Will?
Danny it’s gotta be him. That’s the first name to came to mind when you said diva. I would actually bet money on it that its Danny! lol
Your pictures came out so much better than mine! I’m so glad to see them and your videos. Thanks for posting these.
I’d have to say Brandon or Danny since it’s a guy. I hesitate to say Brandon after meeting him, but I still think he’s got some diva in him…which doesn’t *have* to be a bad thing. 🙂
No its not Brandon. From what I understand this particular dancer was more “difficult” than the others. I agree have a little diva in you is never a bad thing but Brandon is very humble and most all of them are. But I have watched every season and there was one name that came to mind…he had the I know I’m good attitude and the Judges did comment on it a lot.
i don’t think it was anyone this season. i got to meet them all at the show i went to and they were all so nice and cool.
and after seeing you said “him”, I’m gonna guess Danny. That’s basically ALL they commented on that season, for him. other than that he’s also brilliant.
Well I heard there was a lot of controversy during the season 3 tour. More like fighting among dancers dividing most of them. I’m not sure if this attributed any to the diva qualities.
I’m just going by what the guy said about the diva thing. My first guess was Danny…and I was right. He really just said Danny was difficult and came across as arrogant…which he did on the show. Danny is a great dancer but he came across as cocky to me I never really liked him.
