I think I watched this last summer but can't remember a thing about it. Maybe I quit watching before the winner was announced? Why can't I remember who won?

The names I don't remember at the moment, the dances I DEFINITELY do!!! The winner and runner-up were a young couple in real life; I think her name was Melinda or Melissa....I kept hoping they'd turn up more post-show, but after a brief appearance on Ellen, they largely disappeared--from OUR view. I hope they come back to guest. The young girl blossomed in her personality through the run of the show; the technique she had down all along. There were 2 young men who were TOP NOTCH, but one had a snotty attitude and was booted by the public. There was another more "raw" young black male dancer who very much had his own style and dramatically kept hanging in there til the end (deservedly so). I hope they do a better job setting up the voting this time...last time, a bad dancing job by ONE of the pair dragged his/her partner down alongside. Lot of people thought the dancers should be voted on individually, not as team. Nuff said, but I LOVED this show...it made my whole week GLOW!

Is it really? Boy, gotta find more room on my VCR tape...I was just thinking that last year I wanted to save all the episodes...oh boy, just when I'm thinking May sweeps and all the finales are over and I can rest my poor machine!

Can anyone remember the beginning last year? Was most of the first episode focused on "bad auditions" like American Idol? I can't seem to remember the very beginning...just how caught up in it I got as it went along. Don't want to get my expectations too high if they're going to begin with the good, the bad, and the ugly of audition time...never care for that part with American Idol either.

Anyone watch tonight? Seems pretty quiet here. I liked the new format this year. Some they choose right away, some they reject, and some they hold onto to see if they can handle choreography of a different style than their audition. Meant that one TERRIFIC hip-hop dancer ("seamless") didn't make the cut because he became awkward when trying lyrical. We got to see some great dancing tonight and only a few "duds", and some of those who didn't make the cut were even cool. Who is the blonde announcer? Don't remember her from last year. DO remember the opening...and the wonderful opening music that just makes you want to get up and dance yourself. Some of the dancers from last year are seen in silhouette in the opening which they've maintained from last year. Snow's long blonde hair and dance style are unmistakable for one thing, and the young man who does the dramatic leap at the end, as I remember he was one of the first finalists voted off. Liked the young Russian couple and the "popper" who all made it through. Hope maybe we'll get to see the dancers from last year; I'd love an update. Oh, the prize is bigger this year. This time it DOES include a contract...dancing with Celine Dion's show for one year.

I enjoyed it too but they didn't seem to show too many of the talented dancers. I loved the popper guy and the guy with the modified mowhawk. That drag queen was off the chain.

I liked the break dancer (Muso?) who tried out last year, and worked all year to improve his "choreography" (I don't even know what these terms mean, but it's fun to watch!) ... and it was nice to see him try again and make it this year. I hope he makes the final cut.

I watched and enjoyed it much more than last year. i felt for the excellent "B boy" as they called him, who could not make the "lyrical" cut. They said he was the best they had seen at what he did - I hope someone sees him on the show and he gets ahead because of it. PS what does "B boy" mean??

Yeah, loved the fact that the guy went and took lessons and that his reward is moving on to the next round. The popper guy was mesmerizing! I also liked how they were sensitive to the guy who was trying to get sober.

I'm glad this show is back. I love watching people who are good dancers and will be glad when they get to through the audition portion. I'd rather watch the good ones than the goofy ones. The popper guy is amazing! And I agree with what y'all have said about the other good ones, too.

I was just coming here to ask what they get as a prize and Beth you answered that. I'm not surprised we don't hear much about them after they win like we do with Idol. Back up dancer in someone's show doesn't get much publicity. Do they also win money?

I watched last night and liked it better than last year's opener. The one guy who fell on his face and his nose was bleeding, he wasn't that bad and I loved his family. He didn't make it. I really liked Musa(sp) guy from last year.
