I do like some of her performances, but she's not my fave. And she took a nosedive for me when she was so unnecessarily nasty to Brandon.

Another article about the changes.. should be interesting, I guess.
quote:More Radical Changes in Store for 'So You Think You Can Dance' March 29, 2010 |By: Sharon If you thought changing partners every week on 'So You Think You Can Dance' counts as a big shake-up, brace yourself for the latest rule changes: No Top 20 and the return of several "All Stars" from past seasons. Over the weekend, producer Nigel Lythgoe tweeted some radical new rules for season 7, which premieres May 27: "No top 20! No choosing genres! Only one goes home each week CHANGE - Less than 4 compete in the Finale!" Previous seasons featured six finalists competing for the title of "America's Favorite Dancer." Today, he added more shake-ups via his Twitter account: "We are forming a 'dance-pool' of your favorite dancers from previous Seasons to act as partners for this year's top 10." Lythgoe went on to explain, "the dancers will change partners each week picked from an 'All-Star Pool.' Each 'All-star' will be a specialist in specific genres of dance." Lythgoe announced he'll be hand picking the dancers for the All-Star Pool, who'll be chosen from all six seasons. The last new rule change, for now: "Only the competitors will be judged, not the 'All-Stars.' America votes for their favorite and one of the bottom three dancers will go home." This follows Lythgoe's previous tweet updates that partners will change each week and that only one, instead of the usual two, contestants will be sent home each week. That was judge Adam Shankman guess, as he told AOL TV at 'The Last Song' premiere, that the one-per-week elimination would lead to fewer contestants (instead of a longer season) and more intense competition to make the final Top 12, 16, or whatever number Lythgoe decides on.

I'm a "fan" of SYTYCD on FB and they have also confirmed Kathryn as an all-star partner. There may have been more but I haven't seen them yet.

YAY, Twitch! I'm not a fan of the idea of all star dancers but I still like Twitch. I'm afraid I can't really get into a show until it starts.. just too logjammed with shows that are currently running for now. I will care a bunch once it starts. Uh, hopefully, if they have good competitors.

Ade from season 5 was announced by Nigel today! I love him. He's such a beautiful classical/contemp dancer ... and very strong.

Allison from season 2 is my top female favorite, so I'm happy she'll be there.

And also wasn't Ade the one who could do great backflips...I think they use him on the opening.

I am not a big fan of Comfort. I am not a fan of stank face dancing

I would definitely not consider her an all-star...wasn't she voted out fairly early in her season?

Depends on your definition of early -- she was in the seventh pair to be eliminated, so she made it to the top 8. I like the idea of including a female hip hop dancer. Actually, I like the idea of pairing with "experts," since it should push everyone to up their game. If at least one of the people in the pair knows the dance, the other one doesn't have an excuse for not doing well.

I'm really excited about everyone they have announced so far except Comfort. And I agree with Prisoner that a female hip-hop dancer is a great idea, but I never really liked her much. Are there any others though? Can't think of any. Can't wait for the show to start! I've been re-watching some favorite dances from last season to get ready.

What about Mark K? What about Joshua? What about the woman who won the first season I watched (whose named escapes me right now)? Obviously Chelsie Hightower is already booked, but I wonder if we will see Lacey back? And I really did like Kayla, even though I know a lot didn't? Perhaps also Ryan and his wife? (Oh, we already have Pasha for ballroom, right?)

I could totally do without seeing Lacey on my TV screen again. Just sayin'...

Hah, Costa! I feel the exact same way about Lacey. I'm not a fan. There was a good female hip hop dancer the season Benji won. I think she was even partnered with him for awhile. I liked her far better than Comfort. There was a female street dancer another year, maybe when Hok was on. She was good, too. I don't know if she was technically a hip hopper, though.

It was Donyelle. She was on ABDC last season, she had put on some weight but was still great dancer. IIRC, she teaches dance, she was in the group with some of her students. I think Comfort is more of a crumper (thus the stank face) than hip hop.

Thanks, Pamy. I could not remember her name, but can picture her. What is a stank face? I was thinking you meant "skank" when I read it before!
