Eeyore - Was it really a transgender person or a drag queen? There's a difference. I know several drag queens and they're just "guys" when not performing. I also know several transgender people and that is what they live, on the stage or off. I couldn't see any of them pulling out "stuffing" or whatever. They feel they are women within and wouldn't demean themselves that way - at least the people I've met. They face enough challenges. A guy my oldest went to HS with does drag shows and he showed us his "breasts" and they're those type of things which can actually be used as prosthetics for those who have had surgery, etc. No stuffing for him and most of the "other queens" we've seen at this place that has those shows. I'm sorry I missed the first show, but I assume it's on again tonight or was it already on this week???

It was on last night and will be on again tonight. I think that kid was a drag queen, a young one.

Good point Watching. I personally feel like drag queen is a bit derogatory, so I try not to use it. But no, I am not sure if the person was TRULY transgender. I missed this last night, but luckily Mocha is on top of things, and let us know it's on again tonight. Phew!!

Ok so nobody mentioned the guy in the black spandex tank and shorts with ballet slippers? He got ripped apart by the judges. The female judge,"There's just something creepy about you in that outfit. Sometimes you looked possessed." Or how about the tap dancer and her facial expressions? Then they compared hers to other. I was in stiches. lol

Honey bunny, she may very well wear one of those too. I don't believe in coincidence so therein lies the proof. OMG! who knew?! This is great stuff. ......off to call The Insider. Thanks for the heads up, I often do not realize the depth of my psychic ability.

Uh - Anyone here who watched this last season? What is up with Judge Mary? What did she do to her face? She looks way better. Her eyes? I think she lost weight, but sorry - she sure did more than that. Old pic: http://realitytv.about.com/od/soyouthinkyoucandance/ss/Choreographers_5.htm

Mary did not strap a cocktail dress on her body last night. Hi, my little prince! I am hoping that Mary gets a chance to review these audition tapes to hear how unpleasant and disruptive her laugh is. It is a nervous tick. It must drive Nigel nuts. And where is Mia? Bring her back and fast! Meagain, thanks for the link. It looks like she lost weight and had something done to her face beyond new make-up. She looks good when she controls her mouth.

The guy in black with the ballet slippers MUST have been lying about being in a ballet company. I danced as a kid and know a little bit. Brian was right - he had no technique. No company would ever hire someone who didn't point their toes. That is 5 year old basic technique. The lying makes him crazier than he might seem at first.

I liked the cute guy they cut in the end. The one who moved like water.

Are you talking about the popper Mocha? He was good. I could have gone a lifetime without seeing that chick vomit on tv. What value did that add to the show?

Hi Mum! That got me in here again. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on someone else. By the way, thanks to netflix, I have caught up on "Six Feet Under" now and am ready to discuss that show.

I loved the kid with the cap who they thought was so FUNNY (and he moved really well). I was surprised they didn't at least keep him for the choreography round; he might have surprised them...I think someone should hire him; he's really special. I felt really sorry for the young woman who threw up, said she'd never done it before and now on national television....and then they go and highlight it in all their promo blurbs and all over the place. And she had such a sunny personality, albeit a little too much makeup. She seemed there to have fun, but was probably nervous--and was the last to perform, meaning she had had a long stressful wait. That's what happens when you go before the cameras, you are at the mercy of editing, but I wish they had had the courtesy to leave that part out and show us one more of the really good dancers instead.

Rabbit, excellent. Now I know how to get your attention. A mother always appreciates creative ways to connect with her children that does not involve writing a check.

Not the same guy free, but the same type of dance (or acting). The guy on YouTube is doing more copycat steps from the artists of the songs being played. He is hysterical though! And actually quite good!

I think Mary had a brow lift. Or forehead lift. I really do. Whoever did it, actually did a good job. What a difference.
