Welcome to Something for Nothing

My second favorite dance of the top 10. Pasha and Lauren really did an amazing job. Shane gave them a unique and interesting routine. I think Shane is at the top of that for Hip Hop. No doubts there. Shane Sparks rules hip hop choreography.

Back to Pasha and Lauren. I enjoyed them learning the dance and talking about being partners as much as the dance itself. Pasha and Lauren are going to be a really interesting couple. I just feel bad for Lauren that I don’t think Pasha has the same fan base as some of the others.

I love Cat’s comment: “The only way to travel.” Oh Cat.

Well, Kameron is gone, but I figured I’d give a little love to the budding Sabra Johnson. I still can’t believe how short of a time she’s been studying dance. I guess some people just get dance and Sabra is one of them. Sabra really did knock this contemporary piece out of the park.

Amazing Grace is a perfect song for Sabra. I wonder what Sabra will get next.

Does Sabra have a chance at winning? I’m afraid not, but I expect that she’ll make it to the final show.

I just loved this disco solo so much that I had to post it on its own. This routine really put disco on the map on So You Think You Can Dance. Go Sara and Neil for this performance. Usually disco is a bad draw, but Sara in particular made this disco pretty special. Ok, Neil’s flip was pretty amazing too.

I’d pretty much said that I wasn’t going to post the videos of the Wade Robson solos that were done by all the dancers on So You Think You Can Dance. Not because I cared about the controversy it caused, but mostly because I was sick of it after seeing it on two evenings in a row.

Now that I’ve had a break for a week, I decided it would be ok to post my favorite Wade Robson solo: Sabra. I don’t give Sabra much love on this blog (and maybe that will change), but her scream was outstanding. None of the others even compared to the intensity and power that she displayed. More power to you Sabra.

I’m not really sure I need to say more. Videos from So You Think You Can Dance’s top 10 group dance. Choreography by Mia. I bet Mia just loves how she can put her art on display on So You Think You Can Dance.

One of the hottest dances of that night is Lacey and Danny’s Samba routine. Choreographed by none other than Dmitry (sorry if I spelled it wrong, I’m too lazy to check right now). I also love the Dmitry has Heidi helping him out as a partner. I hope that So You Think You Can Dance brings back the dancers from last year on a future results show. That would certainly be something worth watching. Ok, I’m sidetracked.

Here’s the videos of Danny and Lacey doing the samba. Many of the videos for obvious reasons.

You have probably noticed that I took a little break from posting to the site. I guess I’d just done a little too much and so I needed a little time to relax and enjoy myself. However, when this video trailer for the new Sony Picture Superbad came my way, I had to share the video with you all. You can find the video on the front page of Youtube. Don’t ask me how they got it there, but go check out Youtube and I’m told it will be there all day today. Maybe after today I’ll embed the video for all to see.

I think the premise is really interesting. A bunch of kids doing crazy things. There are some amazing lines. The hawaii drivers license part is the absolute funniest. You have to watch the trailer to know what I mean. I guess my only personal problem with the show is that it’s rated R. Although, with a name like Superbad I guess that’s to be expected.

Also, it may be a little early for this, but for those of you who want to go to the Superbad movie in style, you might want to check out the various Superbad wallpapers, ringtones and buddy icons. Go Superbad.

What is everyone else’s thoughts on this video? Are you going to see it?

Touchstone Pictures is working on the sequel to 2005’s smash hit STEP UP - STEP UP 2 THE STREETS.

I ran across Lauren Gottlieb’s myspace page (which I will not be linking to since I can’t personally stand myspace) and she had some links to videos of her tryouts and then her choreography of a hip hop routine for the group in vegas. A very memorable part of the show, but I didn’t put it together that Lauren was the one in these videos. Always fun to take a look back.

Well, I’ve been talking about Cat Deeley so much, I decided it was only right of me to post a picture or two. Well, actually you can check out a whole slew of pictures of Cat Deeley. I can see why she’s done so well in her career. She’s a beautiful woman. I wonder what she’s like in real life. Here’s one glimpse of Cat
