So You Think You Can Dance 4: Vegas Callback Auditions Recap

BuddyTVDebbie · 06-05-2008, 04:00 PM

After visiting Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Charleston, Washington and Milwaukee, the judges have invited over 200 of America's most talented dancers to Las Vegas for a grueling few days of callback auditions for So You Think You Can Dance.

Tonight, we got a peek into the callbacks. Every day, a different choreographer had a routine to teach the dancers. The judges made cuts after each performance, and by the end of the night, we learned the identities of the top 20 dancers who would be going on to the real competition. Read on to see who made it into the top 20.

Tonight's episode of So You Think You Can Dance was purely and simply disgusting. The episode tonight progressed like all other episodes this season so far. The majority of the time was spent on the "drama" of the dancers reacting to the judges' comments and to "how important this show is" to them and "how it affected their lives". I felt I was watching a Doctor Phil episode.The nauseating moment however was when Nigel Lythgoe made the comment about the stress to the girl and the girl answered back. They basically put her in that position by stressing the dancers out with such a tight schedule so an outburst every so often should be expected and yet Nigel looked like he had been caught off guard. The whole panel seemed more like a bunch of mercenaries with Napoleonic complexes than dance judges. They spoke to the dancers as if they were on a job interview. The show's name could have been changed to "So You Think We Will Hire You". They kept on speaking to the Lizz Plott but cut her

So much crying. Makes the show depressing.

I was a little upset when Lizz was cut, because I really enjoyed her tapping and would have loved to see more. Though, I'm glad they're taking a stand on the "talking back", something American Idol failed to do. It shows they're not looking for "divas" (though I don't think her outburst was divalicious). Oh well. I'll forget about her in a few weeks.

Twitch is my early fave. His skill, sense of musicality, and charisma are strong. He's got the older, veteran vibe, and most of all he's got this laid back, yet professional demeanor. He's mature and yet filled with youthful energy. His style is polished and spot on. I don't know if he'll have the versatility to go all the way, but he definitley deserves to be in the top 20.

I'm glad that Kherington, Courtney and Twitch made it through. Susie, as good of a dancer as she is, needs to get rid of that awful hair and nasty and skanky red top of hers... as well as her 10 pounds of eye makeup.

Brandon sent home, are you kidding me. This year has featured abysmal casting, terrible editing and bizarre judinging. Once again boneless arms and hand guy was not featured in the Vegas cuts, why bother showing him again in the audtions? Aaargh, hoping and praying for the real dancing to begin.

I was sad to see the choreographer's daughter, Kelli Baker, get cut! I don't really have any favorites yet, but I liked what I saw of some of the top 20. Can't wait to see the big performance shows!
