It's not really a spoiler but I'll put it behind a cut.

Am I the only person who seriously wants to smack a sizable percentage of the top twenty dancers this season?

I was very happy about some dancers making it, but I think it's going to become clear pretty quickly who is top ten and who isn't.

Yay for Russell the krumper!

Yay for Russell the Krumper! I may start taking krump this sunday to celebrate. Tooootally happy about that one.

I think it's going to be rapidly clear who is top ten and who is, emotionally, age ten.

No, you are not. The maturity level of many is seemingly pretty low.

If I hear that girl cry herself into the upper registers ONE MORE TIME....

The look on Nigel's face when she started doing it on stage was pretty priceless--I was timing him to see how long it would take before the mockery burst forth ;-)

As someone who does the same thing when very emotional, I sympathize with the girl. I remember once I was strongarmed by my Mom into making a speech at my father's retirement party--I knew I was emotional and would cry and this would happen and I didn't want to do it. But she pushed me and I did. And that started happening and my Mom blurted out, "For heaven's sake, Sharon, he's not dying."

That stung me so much. I was unable to control this genuine emotion of love for my Dad and she embarrassed me in front of everyone.

Now he is dead, and now I even feel a little pissed at her comment.

Some people can't help it. It isn't lack of maturity, it's just how we're wired.

So...some perspective.

I do the same thing. I lose control of my voice when I am emotional -- which is why I dance in public, but I don't sing in public. I don't however, keep trying to push through it, over and over and over. I either take a moment to compose myself, or I keep what I need to say short and sweet. To hear it happen in the waiting room, and in the pre-interview (several times), and on stage...well, I really hope she's the victim of ruthless editing.

Also, man, moms.

I cheered when Russell made it. :D I also was really happy to see Bianca.

I was completely shocked that the girl who was technically awesome didn't make it. I'm blanking on her name but I thought her dancing was really great. You know, the one from the LA auditions who Nigel said had a shit performance. WTF was up with that? I'm guessing Nigel just didn't like her personally.

I feel kinda bad for Ryan and Ashley, just in the sense that it appears she's always thought she was da bomb and now he's getting all the praise.
