Season Finale of So You Think You Can Dance

What an spectacle, it was better than the previous night. Joshua won it in the end. He is the Season 4 So You Think You Can Dance winner and claimed as America's favorite dancer. It was well-deserved.

But the highlight of the night was Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe who astoundingly danced to the occasion (my usage is wrong I know but it sounds good to me). Mary have immaculate legs I should say. Yes, she is a hot tamale. And Nigel is a natural -- very entertaining and an impeccable tap dancer.

I don't really feel bad that Katee, who is my favorite, did not win. She is the top girl in the competition. What a feat when she was almost bumped out of the top 20 because of her "giving up" attitude. Her surprise prize of $50,000 sweetens her triumph. My applause to Katee.

It was an excellent season. Nearly 60 million votes is a good number. Congratulations to the production of So You Think You Can Dance.

Foxtrot Meets Hip-hop

Watching So You Think You Can Dance my husband commented, "they are not just dancing, they are acting." I told him that the songs have a story within and they have to act it out.

So You Think You Can Dance has really transcended the art of dance to a whole new meaning. My husband and I have no background nor interest with dancing but we did sat up for two hours watching the show and enjoying every minute of it. Yes, even the comments of the judges.

So You Think You Can Dance is supposedly the dance version of American Idol but singing is more of a crowd pleaser, more of an entertainment. So You Think You Can Dance is more of an education.

Every one of us listens to music whether we like it or not because our ears catch the signal regardless of what we are doing. Music is accessible; it is around us. It doesn't take time or effort to listen to a song but it does to watch a dance.

Through So You Think You Can Dance, the normal viewing public who has no inkling what a Jive is gets to know, see, and enjoy it. If someone wants to learn about dancing, she just needs to tune to the show.

Indeed, dance has its genres and their codes should never be violated. In the show, formal dancing meets street dancing but they were not mixed together. I say, foxtrot meets hip-hop though they never stepped on each other.

One observation: even if So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol have the same producers, they are not directed the same. In American Idol, it's a family affair with the camera focusing on the parents and family of the contender. Lst night, there was not a single spotlight on a family member.

So who do you think would be today's winner of So You Think You Can Dance? Is it Courtney, Katee,Joshua, or Twitch? My say is that -- WHOEVER! They are all winners because they are all in the finale. But tonight we would know who got voted No. 1.

So You Think You Can Dance Finale

I'm very excited to watch the finale of So You Think You Can Dance. It will be aired on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 with results the following day.

I can't wait to see all the dances and everything in the production. I know it will be a big great presentation and display of talent. So You Think You Can Dance is a wonderful show but I don't think it's getting the ratings it deserves. Host Cat Deely does not even announce how many votes the winners or the lossers get. I'm sure that's because it is not worth mentioning at all.

My favorites are Katee and Twitch. I hope they win but even if they don't, they are already winners having to perform in the finale of So You Think You Can Dance.

So You Think You Can Dance

The show So You Think You Can Dance is really very entertaining. I didn't imagine myself enjoying watching a dance show. I have no orientation, interest, inclination, and background when it comes to dancing and yet watching those dancers is like putting their shoes in my own feet. I come to appreciate the art of dance because of the show.

So You Think You Can Dance is indeed a quality program. I just hope it's getting its fair share of television viewers. I don't know how the show rates but it definitely is in my book (or in my blog).
