SYTYCD New Orleans auditions music

We’re known for our music in New Orleans, so I know the SYTYCD music is going to kick it in this episode. And I’m hoping I’ll be up to the task of finding it all, but I’m sure I’ll need your help. You ready? Here we go.

Vegas montage: “It’s Official” -The Bathroom Murders

SYTYCD New Orleans Auditions Discussion Thread

How about those dancers in New Orleans? I’m expecting them to be not just the best of Season 6 so far, but of any season of So You Think You Can Dance ever. Okay, maybe I’m a little biased. But not by much. Lol A friend of mine recently said a friend of theirs is on the show tonight and is a phenomenal dancer. And we already know Adam Shankman was excited about one dancer in New Orleans.

Did they rise to my high expectations and yours?

Either way, there’s no way a second dose of SYTYCD this week is a bad thing. 🙂

[After the show…]

And they brought it! Several solid dancers from New Orleans that I suspect might have a chance at Top 20. Can’t wait for Vegas.

But first, I was lucky enough to watch the taping of Jakob Karr’s audition and he was the dancer that Adam Shankman Tweeted about, as I reported on my blog back in June. I hadn’t matched the name to the dancer, but I was hoping that it was him. Also heard a lot about Justin Kenney (the b-boy they took a “huge gamble” on by sending to Vegas) from other folks at the auditions and I’m watching for him now, too.

And I’ll be watching for Diana Drexler (whose grandfather died and she was able to perform) in Vegas as well.

Who will you be watching for?

SYTYCD Atlanta Audition Discussion Thread

Here’s a secret. Even though New Orleans is now my home, I grew up in Atlanta. I’m curious to see how the dancers from those two cities compare. Just a bit of personal interest there.

How did the dancers in Atlanta do? Any standouts? Any dancers that you hope to never see again. What about dancers that you want to know everything about. Let everyone know what you thought about the So You Think You Can Dance Atlanta auditions.

Personally, I really liked the guys in Atlanta – Jamal Jackson and Victor Smalley look promising, as well as Billy Bell and Travis Hamilton.

And don’t forget that tomorrow is another episode of SYTYCD. Yes, that’s 2 episodes of SYTYCD in one week. One hour was far too little.

Sound off! What’d y’all think of the SYTYCD 6 Phoenix Auditions?, eh? Oh, I probably shouldn’t mix the Southern and the Canadian. ;”)

Mollee Gray Before SYTYCD

Another SYTYCD Season 6 hopeful is Mollee Gray. I’m sure you remember her from the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance Season 6. She has some pretty sweet videos online as well.

First, here’s a video of Mollee Gray doing some partnering work with DJ Guthrie

Paula Van Oppen Before SYTYCD

Another popular person from SYTYCD Season 5 that is back for SYTYCD season 6 is Paula Van Oppen. I remember there were a bunch of Paula fans that came on this site when Paula Van Oppen just missed making the SYTYCD top 20 in season 5. She has a nice fan following and for good reason. In case, you’re not sure who I’m talking about, in season 6 she’s the girl in yellow.

Time to take a look at some videos of Paula Van Oppen before being on SYTYCD.

This is a sweet little lyrical solo of Paula Van Oppen at 17 years old to the song Without You :

Now for a performance from Paula Van Oppen at The Music Center Performing Arts Center Spotlight Awards in 2007 to the song Make Me Whole – Amel Larrieux Read more..
