Okay, so maybe I am weird.
Every dance routine in a movie or on TV I always watch to see if I recognize anyone. Not people I know personally because that would be CRAZY. I watch to see if I recognize any former dancer from any of my "dance shows". Actually, I am successful a lot of the time!!! This will be a new recurring post in my dance blog.
I recorded the Grammy's...and I haven't watched ALL of it...but I did catch Lady Ga Ga's performance. First of all, she is AMAZING!!!! One of her primary dancers from pretty much the beginning was Mark from So You Think You Can Dance. He was on this most recent season of ALL STARS and I wondered if he would lose his "Ga Ga" gig by doing so...but much to my pleasure he was dancing with her in on the Grammy's!! YIPPEE!! For the record you can spot him in the Alejandro video and in the Telephone video. His quirky style fits her choreography perfectly.
On a side note, Ga Ga is coming to town, and I really really really want to go but the tickets are so expensive and Matt won't let me buy tickets due to my swelling Credit Card debt. BOO.

Live to Dance Finale
Sorry I am so late posting this. I have worked the day shift since November so you would think that I would be used to it-but I have been so tired lately and haven't even had much time to sit down!!
I did catch the Finale and was excited to see the winner.
The show started with an AWESOME collaborative dance with all six of the finalists. This dance was AWESOME!! I watched it like 5 times, okay maybe only twice...but it was worth the rewind. It was choreographed by Paula Abdul...and that lady has still GOT it!
Then the show dwindled the final six into a final three. Then the Final Three got to dance one more time...sounds exciting..til I found out who the final three were...GRRR. It was D'Angelo and Amanda AND Kendall Glover AND White Tree Fine Art! What the French Toast! I was so upset. My last place choice in every ranking has always been White Tree Fine Art!!! (Needless to say I wasn't happy with their performance). I was so dissappointed to not get to see another dance from Twitch or The Vibe. I did enjoy D'Angelo and Amanda's performance-I thought it was their best one yet-it was so fun. Kendall did a repeat performance-I was kinda sad not to see a new routine from her. At this point I am TOTALLY cheering for D'Angelo and Amanda. AND.....
THEY WON!!!! I was happy..they get to split the prize money. I liked Kendall and all but I thought that it would be cool if the money was split in two instead of just given to one person. Is that a weird reason to be cheering the winner!! Just kidding, I really was impressed with both acts, but loved D'Angelo and Amanda too. SOO cute!
On a side note-the show decided to give the Chi-Town's Finest Breakers a new car, it was so sweet! They had once lived in their car and they give back to their community-so I thought that was very nice.
Gee whiz, what am I gonna do now?! I've got to wait for the next dance show...not sure when that will be... Well, I haven't had much time to watch TV anyway. LOL.

Live to Dance Semifinals
Tonights episode was the best one yet. The series has been so short, hard to believe they will be announcing a winner next week. I welcome any dance show, so overall it has been a welcome surprise. I wonder when MTV will start showing "America's Best Dance Crew" again, I sure hope they do.
Onto tonight's show:
Kendall Glover was America's vote from last week. Woo-hoo!
First to dance was TWITCH..with another great dance and my vote for the win. I didn't vote so if they lose I will feel super guilty. I love their quirky moves, I love that there is one dude with a bunch of girls. They were so powerful, so sharp, so awesome!!!
Next was White Tree Fine Art. They are good, but I guess I am a bit un-impressed. Their little love story was sweet. They are talented, but not up to par in my opinion. Travis said that they made good "lines" and that is what I always watch in dance-but it wasn't enough this time for me.
Then it was The Vibe-38 strong. They were great-but I have to say this was my least favorite performance. It was a bit busy for me, and I would have enjoyed (as the judges said-some peaks and valleys).
And then it was Kendall's turn. I loved her musicality, she is UBER-talented. She was a bit chaotic too...like she had to pack all of her tricks in, and some subtle slow, intentional calmness would have made it perfect. Have I mentioned that she dances a lot like Lauren from So You Think You Can Dance? They are both from Phoenix so I wonder if they had the same teacher.
5th to dance was Dance Town Chaos. The judges loved them, gave them a standing ovation-I am not sure if I agree. They were good and I liked the concept of the dance BUT they were not very synchronized. There was one dancer that was spotlighted and it would have been okay for a few seconds but it was almost distracting-I wish that they would have rotated the spotlight. They were good and I appreciate their uniqueness, however.
Finally it was D'Angelo and Amanda. They were AWESOME this time, I am amazed of their talent and of how young they are! They were better tonight than I have ever seen. Her leaps and legs were just unbelievable. They have such cute little chemistry-they are even funny during their interviews.
I believe that voting will be super tight, I can't wait to see who wins. My friend Stephanie from work, may not agree with me (she has a niece who is on The Vibe)...but my ranking would be: Twitch, D'Angelo and Amanda, Kendall Glover, The Vibe, Dance Town Chaos, and then White Tree Fine Art. We will see if I get it right.
