So You Think You Can Dance

I wasn't going to watch this... I honestly wasn't. But I had to watch the results show for Canadian Idol and this came on right after that and I couldn't find the remote and even though the tv is... oh... 5 feet away from me I was just too lazy to get up and change the channel manually, so ... here we are.

It was actually kind of interesting. The breakdancing was amazing. I'm in love with Carrie Ann Inaba - she's gorgeous. . She was the choreographer for this show and she was one of the judges on "Dancing With the Stars". (Yes, yes, I watched that too... )

The absolute funniest guy was a ballet dancer who studies at Julliard. He danced in these freakin' bike shorts with the ballet codpiece and a short shirt totally open to show off his entirely hairless chest. He was a very, very good dancer. Except, at the end... what's this?!?! It's a freakin' rhythmic gymastics ribbon!! OMG, NO!! Put down the ribbon!! Anthony, Anthony, Anthony!!

But they put him through to the next bit... only to cut him at the end of the day. The judge said "We're casting a show and I need my boy dancers to be strong." (Code-breaking: You're not butch enough!!) Anthony, of course, was devastated. "Are you saying I don't dance masculine enough? Are you saying that this," - proceeds to vogue - "isn't masculine?!?"

And then he was in tears. "I've never been told that I don't dance masculine enough." And *my* thought was "Oh, honey... if no one ever told you that you don't dance masculine enough, then they were just trying to spare your oh-so-close-to-the-surface-emotions. You are nowhere NEAR butch."

Poor kid... but it was funny *grin*
