Boston auditions for Season 6.
Day 1:
- Cat is such a good sport, trying accents and dance moves to please the waiting masses.
- Ugh, I forgot it was a Tyce day.
- How come Cat's wearing a different outfit inside than she was wearing outside?
- Teddy Tedholm has plaid pants and a bow tie. He's whimsical, in case you didn't get it. Dancing to the same song as the Travis-choreographed routine for Jason and Jeanine. He shows flashes of being quite good, but they are mixed in with a lot of silliness. Nigel really likes it though, and I'm a little befuddled. Mary thinks he's "fabulous." Tyce says he's "fantastic, awesome, brilliant, incredible." Straight to Vegas.
- Jean Lloret is a b-boy who can do some insane "power moves" that involved him holding himself in positions that should not be physically possible. Straight to Vegas.
- Kimara Wood has dread locks and, according to Nigel, when he takes off he looks like he's flying.
- Channing Cooke works in an ice cream shop and is waaaaaay over the top, personality-wise. She's a good contemporary dancer, however. Tyce says she's "awesome and amazing and fantastic" but then says she wasn't passionate enough. They send her to the choreography round.
- Ryan Casey is 6'8''. Uh oh, he's another tapper. We definitely don't have room for anymore of those. He's not bad though--at least from what I can tell; I'm no tapping expert. It would be tough for him to dance with a partner. If she is afraid of heights and he lifts her, she's in trouble.
- Russell Ferguson is a krumper, and apparently no krumper has ever made it to Vegas! What a travesty! My favorite part of Russell's performance is his facial expressions. He's got the perfect, precise expression for every move. I really like this guy.
- Nigel says if you combine krump and tap, it's called "krap." Ha ha, oh that Nigel.
- Fabirio "Breeze" is popping and locking, I guess, and doing pretty well until he twisted his ankle and fell over. But he just kept right on going, and it was a very impressive cover up.
- Nigel makes a strange, rude joke about Mary's ancestors being from Salem. As in, she's a witch. It was especially odd because Mary wasn't really being annoying this day.
- Breeze packs it in during choreo because his ankle's not doing so well.
- Ryan is not through to Vegas. Channing is. Russell is too! (A krumper is going to vegas, y'all!) Plus eight unnamed others are going too.
- Karen and Matthew Hauer are married and dance together. And they're dancing to N.E.R.D.'s "She Wants to Move," which I love. They're good. It looked to me like Matthew was especially good, but I think my issues with Karen were all stemming from her pants, which looked strange around her ankles. They both get sent to Vegas, and it's the first time a husband and wife team are through to Vegas.
- Gene's whole shtick is about being "sexy." Fortunately, he seems to be a pretty good ballroom dancer, though it's a little hard to tell since he's dancing with no partner. On the bright side, he put together a better ballroom solo than most Top 20 ballroom contestants have shown in the past. Both Mary and Tyce have problems with his eyebrows, which seems a little nitpicky to me at this point, but whatev. He's through to choreo.
- Paul Magliato is middle-aged (46) and wearing blue spandex pants. I don't feel the need to go into any further detail. He's too old for the competition, yet they let him try out anyway?! Why does SYTYCD let people try out who aren't eligible? I don't understand.
- Something about Nigel's hair looks weird.
- And Tyce has has flipped out. I'm not even going to describe his antics.
- Kevin "K'Bez" Hunte auditioned for Season 3 and didn't make it. He's a hip hop dancer and he's good. I'm getting excited by any decent hip hopper because last season was light on hip hoppers.
- Back to my perpetual question: do the Black Eyed Peas get royalties every time someone on SYTYCD uses one of their songs? The money flow generated from just that would be impressive.
- Ugh, Tyce is being such an ass to Kevin, who has done nothing to bring this on himself.
- Kevin is going to Vegas and so is Gene. As are 21 other unnamed dancers.
Next week: Atlanta with Lil C. I'm excited: I know Lil C had some major moments of annoyingness last season, but I still like him so much better than Tyce.
