Aussies, what up?

I started downloading So You Think You Can Dance Australia, because I miss SYTYCD America.

I'm a few performance shows into it. It kinda sucks.

I might just stop.

A loves it...you might ask her when it starts getting good.

Do you know if she's watched the American ones? Because I wouldn't put it past her to be all drunk on the Aussieness of the AU version.

The AU version seems to put more emphasis on the hard-luck story aspect of many of the dancers, the judges are nicer...to a fault, and it's just not grabbing me. I'll stick with it...for a few more episodes.

My man is making me dvds of all four seasons of the American version; would you like me to see if I can send you copies?

Oh God, yes!

I've never seen the first season...and SYTYCD Au is pissing me off. The judges are losing the too nice vibe, but couples are showing prep for lifts, tricks and EVERYTHING and there is waaaaaaay too much fusion choreography which is failing because dancers out of their element should only have to focus on understanding ONE dance form, not two mashed together:

soul swing, contemporary disco, bollywood hip-hip, something something jive...

The contemporary disco choreographer got lightly spanked...but not hard enough!

And, AU just doesn't have the Krump specialists it needs.

One of the big prizes for the winner (just announced) is that they get to leave Australia for the US and work with US choreographers and instructors (and Mia Michaels!)

Aaaaah -- Mia Michaels, all hail, alleluia!

It might be a bit (concentrating on surgery presently) but once they are put together I will see about forwarding them to you.

Personal Surgery over Internet Strangerz? Really?

No rush.
