The three judges are: Nigel "Creepy" Lythgoe, Mary "Screamer" Murphy and Adam "Spirit Fingers" Shankman. But wait, there's another chair. Apparently, Nigel is trying to recruit Paula Abdul to be the fourth judge!! That would actually be great. I think Paula is a much better dancer than singer.
Cat is in a black dress with sequence sporadically on the dress. Hmmmm. Interesting.
Wade "I broke Brittany and Justin up" Robson choreographed the first number. It's a "zoot suit" type dance to Comanche by The Revels. It's pretty awesome. It looks like it takes place in the "zoot suit" era.
Up next, Tabitha and Napoleon routine!!! YES! The hip-hop (Kevin), crumper (Russell), and b-boy (Legacy) are doing this routine. Sweet!! They are dancing to Beggin' (District 78 remix) by Madcon. That was SICK! They ROCKED IT!
Since the teams are just showcasing their own styles, I am skipping the judge commentary.
Next up is the first contemporary routine. Nathan, Arianna, Jakob and Channing. Tyce Diorio is choreographing this one. They are dancing to Crying by K.D. Lang. That was actually really beautiful. Nice job, Tyce.
Now we get to see the tappers!! Biana, Peter and Phillip are tapping. NEW choreographer, Derick K. Grant, will be working with these guys. They are dancing to Take the "A" Train by Ella Fitzgerald. It was really great, although, I tuned out halfway through it.
Jazz is up. Mollee, Pauline and Ellenore are dancing. Sonya Tajeh is choreographing...ugh. I hope it's good. Sonya bugs me, but sometimes her routines are good. They are dancing to On A Cloud by PPP. Hmmm...meh.
The second contemporary dancers are next. Victor, Noelle, Kathryn and Billy (Elliot!) are all dancing a Mandy Moore piece. YAY! I like Mandy Moore. I hope she grows this season now that Mia is out! They are dancing to Viva la Vida by Coldplay. It was ... ok. There was several mistakes and it was a little cheesy with the "Autumn" scene in the background.
Finally, we have ballroom. Ashleigh, Ryan and Kareen will dance to a Jason Gilkison routine. Who? Is this guy new? I don't remember him. They are dancing to Everything I Can't Have by Robin Thicke. Muy caliente! That was good....for ballroom. It was more Salsa than Ballroom.
That's it...tune in for the first night of competition.
