*Sixth SYTYCD Season 7 All-Star Selected*
Lucky number 6 is another season 4 vet, and arguably the best female hip hop dancer to ever be on the show! COMFORT is the next all-star!
from 3 hours ago:
I am positive #kingofkrump Will be happy to know that Comfort: #@comfortIVREAL is a #SYTYCD All-Star. She’s a bucc hop hop dancer. Phabb!!
This is an interesting choice, I think. She’s the first one to really only have one specialty. Each of the other all-stars he’s chosen excel in more than one area, like hip hop and broadway (Twitch) or contemporary and classical and hip hop (Ade) or contemporary and broadway (Kathryn) or contemporary and ballroom (Pasha). Also, she’s the 3rd dancer who’s main specialty is hip hop. Interesting…thoughts?
I’m still waiting to see if he chooses anyone from S1. Since we know he won’t pick Nick and Blake has already said he’s not doing it (though it IS Blake, so he could be messing with us), I would LOVE to see Melody.
If we’re gonna get at least a guy and a girl from each season (though I know that’s not possible b/c that would be 12 and we’re only having 10) then we’re missing a guy and a girl from S1, a guy from S2, a girl from S3, a girl from S5, and a guy from S6.
Send us your choices!
If I had to choose a girl for hip hop it would be Comfort. Just wondering did Nigel say there would only be ten all stars? I think there should be more so they can rotate and not have the same stess level as the contestants.
oh yeah I would definitely choose comfort, I just rewatched her hip hop with twitch, done by dave scott (his best routine on the show I think), and i got goosebumps. oh, I didn’t hear about there being more than 10, good to know! That means we have lots more announcements to look forward to!
I think since there are male hip hoppers… there’s gotta be a female hip hopper… and the only one that really does excel in that area is Comfort… so honestly not a big surprise there..
If you look at genres in particular there are:
– Comfort: hip hop
– Ade: contemp, classical
– Allison: jazz, contemp, broadway, cultural
– Pasha: ballroom
– Kathryn: jazz, contemp, broadway, cultural
– Twitch: hip hop (popping, locking, krump)
(Note, the genres are taken from Nigel’s twitter comments of them)
So he has up to this point
– 1 male/1 female –> hip hop
– 1 male/2 female –> contemporary
– 1 male –> classical
– 2 female –> jazz, broadway, cultural
– 1 male –> ballroom
If they try to make it “balanced” they should have (I believe and at minimum)
– 1 male –> contemporary / jazz / broadway / cultural
– 1 female –> ballroom
– 1 female –> classical
We don’t know how many All Stars are going to be in the pool. But it’s be kind of sacrilegious NOT to have at minimum those above to make things fair… unless they are going to do male/male and female/female dances (which I hope they DO do on top of all the changes)
If anything we should probably look at dancers that excel in missing areas at this point with what we know already… but that’s just me =P
So I started thinking about other possible dancers…
And I think for:
– female ballroom: Anya (season 3) or Chelsie Hightower (season 4)
– female classical: Melissa (season 5)
– male contemp: Jakob (season 6)
At min….
Interesting… on Wikipedia there is a blurb about Chelsie Hightower (season 4): Ballroom/Latin (This is only if Dancing With the Stars permits. If she is eliminated within the next two weeks, than she will be participating.)

REALLY!?!?!??!?! Can anyone confirm this?
i wish it had been sara, honestly.
Whelp… I wanted Danny too… but I guess he’s busy on broadway: http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=484686
Will’s on broadway for In the Heights: http://ibdb.com/person.php?id=484845
And Neil WAS in 9 to 5: http://ibdb.com/person.php?id=451859
Hmm wonder if Neil’s going to get signed… =P
That would kind of make sense with Chelsie. DWTS and SYTYCD have worked well together in the past and so it wouldn’t surprise me if Chelsie could do SYTYCD if she’s eliminated on DWTS.
Like Chelsie would get eliminated from DWTS in the first weeks 😛 She makes anyone look good on the dancefloor 🙂
I want Lacey 😛 or Snow ^.^
Thanks Margaret for posting this today. I’ve been sick and got behind. @Marianya: Wow, great find!! That’d be awesome!
Im just guessing that there may be more than ten All Stars. It really is more about who is available to participate.
I think they need to bring Ryan and Legacy back from season 6! Like all the judges said Ryan was one of the best partners ever on the show!
I would LOVE to see those guys back, both did well in multiple genres and i think it would be a treat to see Ryan and Pasha, probably the 2 best male ballroom dancers the show has ever had, on the show at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, in terms of ballroom dancers I love Benji, but his style was technically West Coast Swing, very different from traditional ballroom. So if we’re talking traditional ballroom (plus Benji can’t come back b/c he won) then I’d definitely take Pasha and Ryan.
i would love to see danny from s3 back, and i honestly feel Billy Belly’s journey was cut too short, dat guy was awesum
Well I thought Billy Bell was guaranteed a free pass to participate in Las Vegas week?
Since Las Vegas week hasn’t happened yet… I would assume that we’ll hear about him soon enough. Does anyone know whether Brandon Dumlao made it to Las Vegas week?
I wanted to see Sara too, maybe Comfort was the only one available. There really haven’t been many Hip Hop specialists… Sara, Ashlee, Donyelle, Comfort, and maybe Melody?? Melody was probably a contemporary dancer that just did hip hop really well.
I think Sara is still on tour with Avril Lavigne, I love Donyelle, but for me I’d want the Benji/Donyelle combo, maybe they could do a guest dance together!
