Last night, I wrote about a show. I liked being taken off the air. Today, I wanted to write about one of my favorite shows coming back to television. It started its seventh season tonight. That show is So You Think You Can Dance. Yes, its another reality show, but it's more competition based than drama focused.
SYTYCD is like a dancing version of American Idol. Just how the contestants audition on AI, it's the same for this show. The only difference is if someone does a really good audition in a certain style, like tap, they get sent to do a round of choreography to see if they can do any other styles. Besides that, everything is basically parallel. There are three judges that fit the same archetypes on American Idol. The mean British, the crazy woman, and the diplomatic one.
I like the show because of the creativity shown every week and they always pick great music to dance to. I learned about MSTRKRFT, Hot Chip, and Citizen Cope from the show. Now, I'm a fan of those artists' work. Plus, when the dancing sucks, the judges don't hold back. They go in on the dancers and the choreographers. So tune in on Fox this summer. Wednesdays and Thursdays. Or if you follow me on twitter, I'll be tweeting them once the auditions are over.
