SYTYCD on Glee’s Bad Reputation
Thanks to commenter Ben for pointing out SYTYCD alum on two musical numbers from Glee’s recent episode, “Bad Reputation.”
Here’s his comment:
I found one for Total Eclipse of the Heart, which features Melissa (quite obviously) and possibly Brandon.

And here’s a link with a video for “Let’s Get Physical” which features Brandon and what’s-his-name. You’ll be able to pick him out.

In the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” routine, we get glimpses of Brandon and Melissa throughout, but Melissa is really prominent at 42:05 on the right of Jesse. She’s got her “Naughty Ballerina” face on, her expression saying something along the lines of, “Naught Ballerina’s gonna steal your man.”
“Let’s Get Physical” is basically an homage to Brandon’s butt, at least once you stop looking at Olivia Newton-John and Sue Sylvester. The first time his face is really prominent is 26:37 and then again at 26:50. His butt’s super prominent at the end. 🙂
As for Ben’s “what’s-his-name” in the “Let’s Get Physical” segment, I’m not sure who he’s talking about. I thought Ryan Di Lello would have the physique for it, but I didn’t see him. Maybe Nathan with a shaved head? What do y’all think? [UPDATE: Thanks to commenter Julia (and SYTYCDism) for pointing out that it’s Jonathan Platero!]
Nathan Trasoras (sp?) was in the recreation of the Madonna “Vogue” video on “Glee” a couple of weeks ago, as well.
Yup, he was pretty recognizable in that one. Do you think that’s him in the “Let’s Get Physical” video?
The other sytycd boy in the video is Jonathan Platero: http://www.sytycdism.com/2010/05/05/glee-brandon-bryant-jonathan-platero-melissa-sandvig-in-bad-reputation/
Thanks, Julia! I had a feeling it was him, but couldn’t remember his name, either!
I knew I should have written about when Melissa tweeted about it.
@Amanda: I think I remember that. Is that in one of the Twitter round ups?
also. kayla is in the power of madonna episode as a cheerio during “4 minutes”
Haha “what’s his name” it was jonathan! But I see that mystery has already been solved
I thought Jonathan looked familiar! he was a salsa dancer, right?
Yup: http://www.fox.com/dance/contestants/profiles/jonathan-platero.php
Oy, I kept wanting to call him “Johnny”. I guess I wasn’t far off! I loved seeing Melissa in this episode, probably more than any other dancer I’ve seen on the show. It makes me wonder if they did a ballet number JUST to have her.
@Ben: I wondered the same thing!
