I enjoyed last night too. I loved the popper guy and the drag queen. That was so hysterical watching she/he/it dance and undress. The judges had a good laugh about that too. Good to see they have a sense of humor. I love the midget and was very sad they treated him the way they did. They just argued about him and he finally walked off. That made me sad.

Thanks, Mocha. An apt in NYC for a year is a big prize! They don't run cheap. I'm glad they got that at least. I enjoyed last night's show just as I did last year, but after a while I grew disinterested in the show and stopped watching. I hope this year is better.

Last year they won money and the NYC apt, I think.
This year money and the year's contract and I think a car?

I would have loved to see the midget dancer go further, at least to the next round, or even to the "choreography consideration" portion. I loved Mia's sticking up for him...I am liking her better and better...She has an inventive creative mind.

I think he is actually a dwarf and yes, they kept talking about him like he wasn't there. Grrr.

I think they win $100,000 and I forget what else.

AH, well no apt in NY, since the prize is with Celine in Vegas..
A one year contract in Celine Dion's "New Day" at the Coliseum, a new car and $100,000 cash.

I agree with Nigel, passing on the dwarf. Had they sent him to the next round it would only have been out of sympathy for his condition and not his skill. There is no way he could win or even come close to competing.

I enjoy this show after auditions, too, Pamy. One two hour show is plenty for us to get the idea.

I am sick to death of break dancing. It is more gymnastics than dance.

The young girl who kicked above her head conjured Melissa (Melinda?) from last season. If she makes it through she is going to get nailed for doing that too much.

I stumbled upon this show part way in the other night. I thought it was hilarious. I only intend to watch the early episodes that include the BAD dancers. Probably because I am a bad dancer and I think, "Even I could do better than that!" Although, my bf would probably say I'm just as bad.

I think the whole midget part was really clever editing, IMHO. Honestly, if you were trying out for something you really wanted, and they just kept debating, would you REALLY walk out? And if the guy was really walking out, do you REALLY think the judges wouldn't notice and stop and say, "Where are you going", or at least thank him for coming out. I think their discussion was AFTER he left, and the editors had a bit of fun. I thought it right from the start, and watched it closely. It doesn't show any time where they're on screen together.

I didn't like the popper, only because I don't care about the skill. I think it would be cooler to music. Hey, go POP to a Celine Dion song.

I REALLLLY liked the guy who came back from last season, who worked on his choreography skills. I want to see more of him.

I was impressed with that little 18 yr old's flexibility, but I'm with Fruitbat in that she barely does anything else.

I felt bad for the clogging hairdresser. She had such a good attitude.

I thought the guy who was dancing to "Jump, jive and wail" was cute, even though they didn't like him. He just went up and spazzed out on stage. Sure he had no talent, but he made me laugh. I loved that he got to go AGAIN, and didn't really change much, except did a cartwheel. LOL

The transgender girl was a bit sad. Her dancing was awkward. There was one point where she did a Britney Spears move (with the hands near the heart), and it made me think of Jack from Will & Grace in the first season. LOL. I was disappointed that she started pulling out her boobie kleenex and took off her wig. At that point she wasn't taking herself seriously, and so she didn't deserve for anyone else to take her seriously either. I was also disappointed in her own mockery of being a transgendered person. Like the reversibility was a joke of sorts. But this is supposed to be a light so, so I'll move on.

I thought they EXPLOITED the alcoholic guy; they weren't sensitive at all. It was a bit of drama they could bring to the show. Why was it necessary to make a guy emotional in the audition? It was gratuitous conversation, if you ask me.

I really don't get lyrical dance. All this running around and flailing on the ground. I don't get it. Therefore I couldn't get into the Greek girl or the faux-hawk guy. I'm sure they're good, but I just don't get it. That Greek girl was JACKED!! I couldn't get over her shoulders and abs!!

I heard that "You and Me" song too many times during the show.

I can't wait til next week for the second round of bad dancers.

I think the beauty of this show is that they all have to learn choreography so they cannot always just stick to their particular talent. It is partly the ability to learn and adapt that is being tested and that is also what is required for a dance career.

I guess we will have to see how the guy so recently sober is treated down the line. I thought it was better to talk about it. Now he knows that the judges know and that they sounded supportive. They couldn't have mentioned it unless the guy made it public. Perhaps that was his "hook". With so many performers, I'd guess that almost anything that could get the judges' attention might be valuable.

I gave up early since I don't want to see the bad people. Will return when they get to the actual competition. Last year was great.

Does anyone remember the name of the "alcoholic guy" (recently sober guy)? I tried to find him in the recap link above, but didn't seem him mentioned, oddly. It was so interesting that he used to dance with Nick, last year's winner. I could see some of Nick's style in his moves, and am wishing him all the best.

Next time you have some friends over, crack open a bottle of wine and have a lyrical dance-off. Hilarious.

We used to "move" like that during our bowling nights with a group of my friends. Frame seven was ALWAYS the "Modern Dance Frame" and we judged who did the best at the end. Hitting pins meant nothing. LOL

After out bowling night, we'd go to this diner, and play "schizophrenic poetry" on the paper placements.

Ahhh....to be young again. LOL

I remember when I was in high school, I went to a party with mostly college students. One of the college girls got up and did about 20 minutes of "lyrical dance." I was paralyzed ... I couldn't figure out if it was a joke or art!

A midget is a normally proportioned person of small stature. This is due to a deficency of growth hormone. Now that this has been discovered no one has to suffer this fate. It is dectected in childhood and the hormone is given to the child and he or she grows normally.

Acondroplasia (dwarf) is a genetic condition resulting in the mishapen body. The boy was a dwarf. :-) Just setting the record straight.

Hi, MsBat!!! I didn't feel sorry for him because he was a dwarf. I would have felt sorry for anyone who would have been talked about like they weren't even there. I just wish they would have said, "excuse us while we chat a bit" anything, other than just ignore him. Well maybe a little sorry because he was a dwarf but not much. lol

Enjoyed the LA auditions tonight (why do they have to confuse us with days/times of shows airing, however? I almost missed this!)

Especially interesting were the four friends/colleagues of last year's head-spinning hip hopping finalist, adorable Ryan. His four friends are spectacular hip-hoppers with distinctive style, but only two of them made it past the choreography section...maybe the two left behind will be back next year...it's interesting now to see those who go and study/practice some more and come to try again.

I also enjoyed the talented swing dancer who had to get past the hip hop part.

Lol Ms Bat. Yep she was subdued for her. Loved the guy with the great shoulders. Ladyt has the name written down. Loved the swing dancer too. They didn't show alot of the good ones though. But I guess that's what this part of the show's about like with AI. Oh the girl with the earing on her cheek(I so hate that) was very good too.

Oh, and Mary wears a cocktail dress to auditions? A tacky one, at that. What is up with ballroom dancers and clothes?

Yes, Mocha. We are not seeing the good dancers. I only hope Last Comic Standing is using the old 'hide the talent' trick too.
