SYTYCD - Early Elimination!!!!!

contempSYTYCD_091018_0783-1.jpg
Okay, not exactly an elimination, but a significant change in So You Think You Can Dance Season Six Top 20. We really thought Billy Bell was going to be one of the final two, but not this year. Via an official press release, came the announcement that Billy had to drop out due to illness.

A quick tour of the various sources around the Internet (Did you know Billy has a fan page on Facebook? Now you do. Go sign up there as a fan of his to keep in touch.) provides no further details, except that Billy was just released from the hospital on Sunday and his family is asking that fans respect their privacy. Yikes. We're all sending Billy best wishes on a speedy recovery and we hope to see him doing great things in the near future. He's got a ton of talent.

But where does that leave So You Think You Can Dance? Well, the show must go on. And taking Billy's place in the Top 20 is a face you may remember.....

sytucd_Brandon_MG-5094abrF.jpgSay hello to Brandon Dumlao, a hip-hop dancer from Concord, CA. Yep, that makes FOUR men from the ranks of hip-hop this year. Those of us who are huge hip-hop fans are having a hard time containing our enthusiasm, we're sad to say. (We were really sad to see Brandon cut from the top 32 and can't wait to see more of this cutie.)

The change in the line-up didn't happen prior to filming the show-off special that aired last night, so we didn't get to see Brandon strut his stuff there, but he'll be appearing in tonight's broadcast of the first elimination round. We hope to see him stick around a good, long time. Welcome, Brandon!
