I didn’t wake up this morning expecting to be forced to watch a Justin Bieber video, but that happened tonight on “So You Think You Can Dance.” More surprisingly, I didn’t hate it. The cute dancing of Bieber, Usher and the backup dancers in the “Somebody to Love” video that debuted during the episode almost distracted me from the inexplicable Asian theme, and the fact that the show was broadcasting a video as opposed to actual live performance. That little Canadian and the even littler girl in the video won me over.
Nigel Lythgoe Post-Show interview – Korbi from Give me My Remote
“I hate the all-stars leaving the stage when they’re finished [dancing], ” he said. “I want them standing there [next to their Top 11 dance partner while the judges’ comment]. I think America’s wise enough to know that you’re not voting for the all-star, you’re voting for the [Top 11] dancer, so there’s no reason [the all-star shouldn’t stay on stage], I don’t think it would confuse anybody that the all-star is there. And [then] they can support their partner.”
So, kids, expect to see that change in effect as of next week.
