Tonight, it’s the Wild Card acts on America’s Got Talent. Contestants who didn’t make the cut at various stages of the competition get another chance. Each of the judges chose 4 acts for a do over.

Hm. With a couple of exceptions, there was a reason why each of these acts didn’t make it the first time. My picks for acts to make it through: Yellow Designs Stunt Team, Landon Swank (the best acts) and then…

SYTYCD Canada Judge: “You Would Have Ripped Melanie To Shreds”

08/16/2011 mj santilli 32
MEEEEOWWWW! So You Think You Can Dance US just wrapped up, crowning the exquisite Melanie Moore as America’s Favorite Dancer. Up north, the Canadian version of the show is airing, and not to be outdone, they have their own star dancers commanding judges’ kudos and standing ovations.

To be sure, this Top 12 routine, danced by SYTYCD Canada contenders, Melissa Mitro and Adam LoPapa is absolutely FABULOUS, but judge Blake McGrath? Was it really necessary to tell Melissa she would have ripped Melanie to shreds if they had competed against each other?
