Saying Goodbye to Nathan and Noelle

here’s the exit interview from Nathan and Noelle, thanks to the folks at Zap2it.com. Both of them seem super upbeat and grateful for the opportunities they got on the show.

additionally, Entertainment Weekly has begun doing exit interviews with the cast, here are the links:

Noelle Marsh

Nathan Trasoras

interesting note, the interviewer ask Noelle about the tour, and she’s really excited and hoping to perform her Afro-Jazz piece (I’d guess it’s a sure thing for the tour) but she (Kate Ward from EW) doesn’t ask Nathan about the tour, and Nathan comes off during the whole interview ask just sounding exhausted, and I can’t say I blame him after the beating that he took from the judges this season. What do you guys think?

Vote for Who’s Going Home Tomorrow on SYTYCD

I just posted the poll to vote on the winner of So You Think You Can Dance season 6. However, I thought it would also be interesting to have 2 polls to see which girl you think will be going home tomorrow and which guy will be going home as well. So, let your vote be known and let’s see how good we are at predicting who will be sent home on tomorrow’s SYTYCD elimination show.

Longer Dances on SYTYCD

I’ve been thinking what SYTYCD could do to help to spotlight the dancers more and help us to have a favorite dancer even more. Sure I love the show even when I don’t have a favorite, but I think that season 2 was likely the best season because Benji, Travis, Donyelle, Heidi and even Allison were the favorite of many.

What do you think about having them do a longer performance? Seems like they’d have more of a chance to tell a story with their dancing if they had longer routines.
Also, there’s no doubt that longer solos would be nice for this also. With the solos as short as they are they are useless. They always feel rushed or frantic or just leave you lacking. Let’s lengthen them out. I think if they did that, it would expose some of the weaker dancers as well.

Also, what about a “battle dance” where all of them are dancing in succession or something. No planning. A surprise song. Just feeling the music and showing off what you got. Would be really entertaining to watch and see their raw and real dancing.

What do you think?

So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Couples

It’s time for the predictions of the So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 couples. Yes, this is really serious business. You partner on So You Think You Can Dance can completely change how well you do on the show (for good and bad). Will we see an amazing couple like Benji and Donyelle? Will we see interesting couples like Allison and Ivan? Oh the combinations we could talk about.

Also, I can’t help, but say that this website has the best readers/commenters. They’re amazing. On that note, I asked one of the readers of this site, Christine, if she’d predict the SYTYCD season 6 couples. Here’s her predictions:
Billy Bell – Pauline Mata
Legacy – Kathryn
Jacob Karr – Karen Hauer
Russell Ferguson- Ellenore Scott
Ryan DiLello – Channing Cooke
Kevin Hunt – Noelle
Peter Sabasino – Mollee
Victor Smalley – Bianca
Nathan Trasoras – Ariana Debose
Philip Attmore – Ashleigh DiLello

Here’s Christine’s explanation of how she came up with these couples:
This is based on heights (from what I could see), personality dynamic, and a combination of power couples and underdog couples. Also genre diversity would help, but there’s a whole lot of contemporary girls. I could be a little biased for some of them, and I understand that some of them appeared to have great chemistry together on camera, but it doesn’t mean they get paired together sadly.

Which couples would you like to see happen on So You Think You Can Dance season 6?

Elleanore Scott & Kevin Hunte Top 20 SYTYCD Interview

These two were awesome together. Relaxed and funny. Elleanore’s parents are both dancers – a ballerina and a pop & locker (somebody needs to make that movie) whiel Kevin was influenced by Michael Jackson on the 1995 MTV Music Awards. Elleanore’s a bit nervous about partnering in general and Broadway and would love to work with Mia (is that going to happen???) while Kevin’s more nervous about ballroom and both Mary and Tyce as judges. Check it out:

Pauline Mata & Legacy Perez Top 20 SYTYCD Interview

Pauline used to sing. And I’m not a fan of Legacy’s, but he had a great line. “Every obstacle is an opportunity.” Good ‘tude, maybe he’ll change my mind.
