So You Think You Can Dance
Those nearest and dearest to Ramona Narrow know that from May to August, she lives and dies for Fox's So You Think You Can Dance. She's been to a taping - twice. She votes. She posts critiques in the online community. She cries when the kids she likes get voted off. She once approached a dancer who had been kicked off and announced that his departure was "a travesty and injustice." Similar in format to American Idol, it's a dance competition featuring dancers doing all styles. It's far better than AI, however. First of all, the judges aren't there to humiliate the contestants. All of the judges seem to genuinely like and support the dancers; their critiques are based on dance and the body. Second, the dancers are all spectacular. Finally, all of the dances performed are original choreography, which means that instead of hearing some nineteen year old from Texas with bad highlights sing "I Will Always Love You" like she's several gin and tonics in at a karaoke bar in the Milwaukee Marriott, you get to see something you've never seen before. Ms. Ramona has been without a tv for the past five months, but, as of last week, you can find her on the treadmill with the attached television at her community center, pissing people off by exceeding the 30 minute cardio machine limit, every Wednesday and Thursday from 8-10. To kick off the new season, Ramona has chosen her top five SYTYCD auditions of all time.
1. BRANDON BRYANT
2. PHILIP CHEEB (and no, this is not sped up. That's how fast he dances)
3.BENJI SCHWIMMER AND HEIDI GREUNEWITZ
4. EVAN KASPRZAK
5.BRANDON NORRIS
