She is a joy to watch. Absolutely agreed. I can see why she won. I would have been voting my ASS off for her too if I were Aussie. Would run up the phone bill, cable bill, light bill, and use up all my rent money just to make sure I voted for her.

Better dancers, better choreographers, better all the way around. I wouldn't go that far, but I really like the objectivity of the judging and especially the lack of overpraisal/TCO's. Talia was never really a frontrunner until the top 10/8 shows and when she was shit (which she totally was in top 20/18 shows), the judges tore her to pieces. Also, one of my favourite contemporary routines from that season: Last Edited By: Dan Down Under 06/28/09 6:51 AM. Edited 1 times.

Nigel has been tweetering about an all Michael Jackson show for next week show ( July 8) with all the choreographers , sounds cool :) Nigel is twittering more detail right now-he says song clearance issues will keep the special from happening this week. It look like the plans are becoming more ambitious than just a group routine: * At the same time as auditioning we're trying to put together a major tribute to him Michael's music works in every dance genre for the show * Mia has chosen the song she likes, we've spoken to Wade. I've left messages for Paula. I've spoken to Shane. We have to make this happen!!? * There is a problem clearing Michael's music at the moment. We are trying to make contact with Sony to get clearance on an all Michael SYTYCD * If we can make this 'special' happen it is thanks to many of you "Tweeters" out there who all had the same idea. "Twitter-Power" is awesome! * Don't get carried away everyone. It won't be the NEXT show these things take time to organize, clear and choreograph. I'll keep you posted.

He should have known better than throwing in those obvious tricks in the place of lackluster dancing in his own style. It worked for Neil every time he had to do a solo.

I reject the idea that gymnastics moves or "tricks" are not considered dance. Here's the definition of "dance" from dictionary.com dance /dæns, dɑns/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [dans, dahns] Show IPA verb, danced, danc⋅ing, noun Use dance in a Sentence -verb (used without object) 1. to move one's feet or body, or both, rhythmically in a pattern of steps, esp. to the accompaniment of music. I'm not sure why locking or breakdancing would count, but tumbling wouldn't...

I was simply stating that Neil did it every time he had to do a solo, and he had a rather large following on here IIRC. You can consider it dance all you want, and other people can consider it "not dance" all they want.

Neil lasted because he generally danced WELL, both in his solos (which included gymnastics) and in his pairs dances. Jonathan was cut because he sucked ass in his pairs dances and his solos including gymnastics weren't all that great. The one who got fucked was Marquise, who did a phenomenal solo last year, but they dismissed it as being all tricks and cut him for it...

And I actually did NOT think Neil danced very well, until almost the end (somehow he seemed to have learned). TOTALLY agree that his tricks just got old. And I actually agree with the judges on Marquise. There was very little dance to that, either, imo.

And what I had an issue with his gymnastics was that it never seem to gel with the music. I know some of you guys are really harsh on Karla, but I find her solo last week to be incredibly interesting. Although she wasn't completely successful, she was dancing to the music. People don't realize is that, the radiohead song is really hard rhythmically. Its not a standard 3/4 or 4/4 time frame. It is a 5/4 time signature song which is an incredibly awkward time frame to dance too. So I really give her props be dancing to that song.

Yeah, pirouettes are part of the vocabulary of dance over hundreds of years, but that vocabulary changes. Thirty or forty years ago, a lot of the moves that we see in hip hop (locking, breaking, etc.) wouldn't have been considered dance and now they are. Perhaps the acrobats are just on the forefront of what will in the near future be considered an integral part of the dance world... As for gelling with the music, that is a much more legitimate point. HOW he executed the "tricks" is a valid complaint. That he used them at all is not one (IMO, of course). Here is Marquis' solo (sorry. There's no "e" at the end as I spelled it before). The judges claimed this was too much tricks and not enough dance. I say they're full of shit.
