FRINGE - New Show for Fall '08

SYTYCD Blog #6 - Hollywood Top 20

SYTYCD Blog

Well, the time has finally come for us to hit that big stage in Hollywood, and start the competition portion of the show. Tonight we have our dear friend, that wild and crazy idol expert, Artie Funk, joining us. What is up Funkster?

You know... I'm just doin' my thang, Daph-Punk. Actually...I'm doin' something that NOT my thang: watching SYTYCD! I've never seen this show in my life, but when Mizz Hart asked me to stop by and chime in, I couldn't break my Hart. But then...when she mentioned that you'd be around, Daphne, you KNOW I couldn't say no! Good to see you again, chica. Miss me?

I wouldn't say I've missed you, Funky Winkerbean, but it's cool to know that my siren song can still draw you in... Plus it seems fitting that you and I reunite in Hollywood, doesn't it?

Yeah, baby! You know it! Full circle, right? Anyways... I have no idea what's going on with this Dance-Off, but I'm still stoked to get this party started, dawg!

Wait a second! You two know each other, too? First Collins and now ARTIE?? Wow. I need time to process this. But in the meantime, don’t worry Mr. Funk, we know dancing isn't really your thang, so we’ll go easy on you. Dan Karaty was the guest judge on SYTYCD to join Mary and Nigel on the judging panel.

Rayven and Jamie are the first two to be partnered up. They are doing hip hop tonight

Let's see what a ballroom and ballet dancer can do


lol i loved the pants down move...i think he was packing something

haha

what'd you think of that Artie?

I thought that particular move was...ballsy! Heh

You know for not being hip hoppers, they did a great job

yeah it was fun to watch, but it was kind of easy for hip hop

I thought they had a good thing goin'. The routine was pretty smooth, fun and light-hearted. And I think the goofy feel is kinda the opposite of what you think of when you hear 'hip-hop routine'... I tend to think of more in-your-face attitude.

Yeah, It didn't have the normal additude of hip hop, but I still enjoyed it.

I think i agree with Dan saying...not bad not great.

My fav part was when she was shakin' her booty at him. Overall, seemed pretty good, but not cuh-raaaazaaay good or anything.

Why am I not surprised...Next up we've got "hot for teacher" Susie and Marquis will be trying out the smooth waltz...so far I'm not a huge fan of Susie so i hope she can impress


so there was a bit of a mess there during the lift. But beyond that, it was a nice dance.

yeah it was pretty, and they had good emotion, but i'm not sure who held who back on that lift

I agree, the dude's moves looked smoove, but the lady seemed less...fluid. I thought that whole routine looked awkward and forced, all the way through, at least on her part.

looked like there was some Susie leg issues going on there.
yeah, i'm thinking Marquis is the more experienced of the two

I don't think they worked well together. There was no meshing. Some of it was pretty, but I wasn't a big fan of this pair.
Kourtni and Matt are up next. The are put to the challange of a Mandy Moore Jazz routine.


Hmm. That whole thing left me a bit puzzled. I just didn't get it. I guess some of the moves were pretty sweet, but I wasn't overly impressed.

That was very 80's, and not just due to the music

Mandy did a great job with the routine, it was def one to remember. both of them danced a little stiff though. Art-Star?

Danny Noriega and Anna Faris didn't do much for me. The most interesting thing for me outta this dance, was watching the dude try to get the fake diamond into his pocket while continuing to dance. That's just me, tho.

Really? you saw Danny Noriega and Anna Faris? I think Kourtni was looking more Uma than ever what about you Daphne?

I do agree with Nigel saying Princess Di tonight, but she will always be an Uma look-a-like in my mind. I really like Kourtni

Chelsea and Thayne are up next doing the Cha Cha...and btw I totally think Thayne is cute

He's cute, but i wouldn't go farther than saying that.


Wow that was one hot little number

Yeah! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! To me, THAT was some dancin', y'all!!

Wait, after that dance, maybe I would say thayne is a bit hot.

both the dancing and Chelsea's dress!

Dude! What dress?!? That's a boa with accents. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Whatever it was, though, she shook it all over the place, dude. And they were in sync with each other, hardcore. I thought that was entertaining. Ladies?

It was hot all around.

they really did a great job, and made it look easy

Nice to see people who can shake their booties and dance on top of it....Chelsie and Mark are up next doing a contemporary routine


Mia Michaels always comes up with something interesting, I think Chelsie did a great job, but i felt like it was a bit beauty and the beast

Are you talking about Chelsie's dress? It was a little too fluffy

Yo. That whole thing was too fluffy for me, yo. What WAS that?? Ugh.

no no, i mean with Mark He just seemed like a weird partner for her

This is so not the show for me. I don't get it. I do get that folding that chick in half is impressive, and that lifting her up off the floor while you're horizontally spread out, all while she's wearing an incredibly distracting dress, takes talent. But what was the rest of it? Especially that crazy "Let's Stretch Our Faces At Each Other" Move? HUH?!? I'm so confused. And not in a "I just watched Memento and I have no idea what just happened, but I know I liked it" way.

Yeah the face stretching was a def weird

Well, Artie, I thought in general it was a very interesting routine

Twitch and Kherington (two of my favorite people) are doing a Broadyway routine

I think they are going to make a great pair.


That was pretty cool, I must admit. It brought me back from nearly quitting in the middle of this thing...so it must've been pretty good!

I don't know if I am biased (I sure hope not) but that was FANTASTIC!

I love Twitchington!! They are so much fun to watch! Kherington has so much joy when she dances, i love it!

The two of them are just perfect together. I couldn't think of a better pair. And they nailed that dance.

How could you not vote for these two?

I'm not voting so hard...that everybody else on the show just got a vote. Somehow. Dawgg.

Ugh! Artie. You just don't get it.

True. I've been saying that this whole time.

I don't know. I am ready to dial their number right now. Anyway....next up: Comfort and Chris. They are doing the Jive!

She's a hip hop dancer...seriously?? seriously?? 'cause she does a pretty mean Jive…in beads no less

Word up. I enjoy the costumes that accentuate the boo-tay, and Comfort's outfit was doin' just that. Their moves were pretty good, but I wouldn't put 'em in the "Awesome" category.

Comfort never came across as a girl who has a body like "woah" but man she looks great.

Chris did a great job too, but Comfort stole that show

My biggest issue with the dance is it felt a little slow. I wish it were a little more upbeat. Not that it wasn't upbeat, it just wasn't as fast I thought it should be. But they did a wonderful job with it.

Well it sounds like they had to ease it up a little bit after she dislocated her shoulder

perhaps. At any rate, they deserve many votes from all the kiddies out there.

Katee (who came this close to being cut)and Joshua are doing Hip Hop

This wasn't a fun dance like the other ones, it was rather emotional. But that doesn't mean it wasn't as good as the other dances. It was nicely done

Yeah i really enjoyed it, it came pretty naturally to Joshua being a popper, but Katee really tore it up too. They made a great pair and i loved that move where she pulled him off the floor...effortless

I thought that was cool. Pretty smooth moves on both their parts, but I was confused. Were they angry at each other? I dunno. Regardless of the story they were trying to tell, I thought they did a pretty good job. And that chick totally stole that guy's shirt! Ha!

Jessica and Will might be heating things up a bit with the Tango.

it was hot, i don't know if it was smoking but it was hot

I gotta agree with you. It was pretty good, but not EN FUEGO. I may not know much about dance, but I DO know that tango is all about passion. And for a tango to be authentic, passion needs to ooze outta those dancers. There was clean, decent dancing, but there was no oozing.

I'll have to agree with Jessica that Will is a great looking guy. But Jessica is a great looking girl. And I think that was a HOT number!

I think Will did a great job, Jessica was good too, but a little weak on the heels...I do NOT agree with Mary saying they're the couple to beat

Neither do I, but they are One of the couples to beat.



Courtney and Gev are doing Disco, I hope they do well because Courtney is an early fav for me

I like Courtney a lot as well, and Gev as well.

Yo! I dig Kelly Clarkson's dancing here with Rob Schneider. She's really branching out! And the fact that she did a disco song is HOT! I totally love disco and funk songs, and Earth, Wind and Fire rocks the house!

That dance is the only reason why disco should never die.

That, and the fun it inspires in crazy amateur dancers such as yours truly at wedding receptions. Git down tonight! Anyways... the routine was cool. I liked it, but I wouldn't say they're top of the pile for the night. Does my heart good to see that (at least in some ways), disco never really died.

They def had fun with that routine, but i wanted to see more big moves The two of them were really in rhythm with their moves though

I thought they did a good job with it. It was lots of fun, and they did good with what they were given to do.

I agree, Nigel was a little hard on them, Mary was a little easy on them...I think Dan nailed it

Bottom 3 couples for me were Susie and Marquis, Chelsie and Mark, and Kourtni and Matt. I enjoyed Kourtni and Matt, and I do not want to see Kourtni go anytime soon, but compared to the other routines, theirs just wasn't the best.

My bottom three couples are Susie and Marquis, unfortunatly Courtney and Gev, and Chelsie and Mark. I think Susie and Marquis were the weakest routine with that lift issue.

As a guest judge who's never...EVER seen this show before, I don't feel qualified to predict who's going home. I'm going to, though. I think Susie and Marquis did the worst of the night, so I think one or both of them are gone. My faves of the night were Chelsea and Thayne, with Twitch and Kherington coming up with the Honorable Mention.

I think Susie and Mark will be the two sent home. My favorites were Twitch and Kherington, Chelsea and Thayne, and Will and Jessica, oh, and maybe Comfort and Chris. Oh, who am I kidding, except for Susie and Marquis, and Chelsie and Mark, I loved them all.

Twitchington was my number 1 team, they were great, but Chelsea and Thayne are a close second. I agree Susie is going home, but I think they'll break up the pairs by sending Mark home...in less he can really impress in the solo, which he's done before.

agreed. I think Marquis is more talented than Mark.

I have no idea what that means...but this has been fun, girls. Just gettin' to hang with you two lovelies makes it all worth it! Maybe I'll be back later on in the summer for another round, so keep your dance cards clear.

Aww, Artie, no matter how little you know about dancing, you always do bring the charm, sir.

Please do come back! It's always a good time when we hang, Funkatron.

Back atcha, Daphy Duck. Artie's peacin' out for now. Later on, Danceheads!

Well, that’s all we’ve got for today folks, we’ll be back tomorrow with a roundup of the highs and lows and see who’s sticking around for next week. Leave us a comment and let us know who you think will be sticking around and who should head home!
