Yet Another SYTYCD Post

Okay. I'll admit that Contemporary/Lyrical is not my favorite dance style, so I may be coming into this a bit biased. That said....

Some lyrical routines are beautiful. I accept that. But do they all need to be turgid and depressing and serious and A Story About Something Tragic? We have dances about breast cancer, and dances about dead fathers, and dances about addiction, and tragedy, and loss, and people rolling around on the floor flailing their misery to the four corners of the earth and making us cry....

Is there a law against happy lyrical dance?

Just once - ONCE - I want to see a lyrical routine about a puppy and a kitten playing outside in the sunshine. Or about two siblings in a healthy, functional family, dancing about how awesome life is. Or just about anything positive and upbeat.

Please?

I'm with you on Lauren, Robert, and Billy, though I think that Robert will likely be the next to go - he's been served poorly by bad choreo and the judges' constant overpraising.

I've liked Jose from the start - he's not a great dancer, but he's just so charming and sweet that watching him makes me happy. And I agree on Ashley and Adechike; they just kind of leave me flat.

But..... I have to admit, deep down inside, I kind of adore Kent. I honestly believe that the gee-whiz grin and Smallville persona are for real, and his dancing is pretty darn good. Now that my one true love Alex is gone... I think this is his to lose.

Losing Alex was a killer. Hopefully his ankle will heal and he'll be back up to form for next year, because I thought he was just at a completely different plane than the others, and probably would have breezed to a win. Then again, I thought that about Katee in her season too.
