What Are YOUR Favorite SYTYCD Performances?

Tonight at 8pm on Fox, creepy Uncle Nigel is going to be hosting a special episode of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE in preparation for the season 6 kickoff next Wednesday night.  Tonight we’ll look back at the 15 fan favorite dance routines from the previous five seasons.  Fifteen seems like a lot, but if you think about it, it’s really tough to narrow the list down.

I want to hear YOUR favorite 15 routines. I wonder how many will end up on tonight’s episode.

I’ll kick things off with a few of my personal favorites. This list is in no way comprehensive – there are just too many moments I loved over the past few seasons.  But here are a sampling, in no particular order, of some of my faves.

• The Bench Dance – Heidi & Travis danced this Emmy award winning routine by Mia Michaels. This dance was recently performed on SYTYCD’s 100th episode, but I don’t think it can be left off the list tonight. It might be the most popular piece of the series.

• Why – This contemporary routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio was the first even dance piece that moved me to tears. It was what this show is all about – it was the combination of the beauty of the piece, the performance elements that Ivan and Allison brought to the stage, and the fact that many of the viewers (especially me) were caught off guard by the amazing performance of  Ivan Koumaev – a hip hop dancer who no one expected to shine in this way.  I’ve seen this dance too many times to count, but I still get teary.

• The Boardroom – Choreographer Mandy Moore put together this amazing Jazz routine which had Neil and Sabra fighting it out in the boardroom. The use of the table helped really bring the routine to life. The two dancers were fabulous in this routine, one of the best of their season.

2008 Teen Choice Nominees Revealed

I’m WAY too old to be voting (or therefore watching) The 2008 Teen Choice Awards, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be excited that some of GMMR faves have been nominated.

You’re not going to see that every day.Miley Cyrus, who for tweens everywhere seem to be second coming of Christ (or is that the Jonas Brothers? Wait, is Zac Efron already a has been?) has been tapped to host the always chaotic ceremony which will be aired on Fox on August 4th at 8/7c.
