So You Think You Can Dance?

[Mark Fox]

Nasty Nigel and Arlene Philips to front this new show.

[mariana44]

It is not a new show as such--just new to Uk-I have been watching the show in US for several years, and really enjoyed it.

Nigel was also a judge in US, as someimes was Brian Friedman [x factors choreographer]. Plus a very excitable lady called Mary Murphy-but I am guessing she is not in the Uk show. Cat Deeley hosted in Us, and was so popular , she is also hosting in Uk.

A lot will depend on the quality of dancers appearing, and the dancing that they pull out of the hat. And I am guessing they will do a similar format as the US show--which in itself is similar to x .factor format---auditions first--then narrowed down to maybe the last 12 or so, then 1 voted off each week.

Starts on 2nd January.

Now you know why Arlene dropped out of'STRICTLY....'
Everything has a plan!

[mariana44]

I do not think she dropped out of Strictly to be on this show--rather the otheer way round--when she was dropped from Strictly , they approached her about the show--as far as I know !

[Lena & Harry Smith]

It should be a lot of fun with these Two then.

The third judge is Louise Redknapp---but that could change as it will be a "rolling" judge.

[ROBERT M.]

Saw an advert on TV tonight, with Louise and Jamie advertising holidays I bet they got a freebie ........hope she makes it back in time for Dancing on Ice.

Didn't anyone enjoy 'So You Think You Can Dance' ?
I thought it was o.k. and should improve this week now we have got through the auditions.
I DO enjoy listening to Arlenes comments,and Nigel wasn't bad either

[Marian]

Missed it!

[mariana44]

On first showing I did not think the dancers were as good overall as in the US version.

And to my surprise I found myself preferring the one on Sunday with Davina--which I had not expected to like--it just seemed to have more of a human touch---although I thought Davina made a big big mistake, after the first act was voted out, by running on stage to plead for him to stay--he was not even that good !!

Also I quite like the judges-Adam. Kim, and Ashley.

American Idol back on our screens on Wednesday---ITV 2--I have already forgot last years winner, who I thought was very ordinary--but I have heard a lot of Adam Lambert who came 2nd--and both me and my sister was sure would win. !!!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

I missed this too but must catch up. Talking of Davina though, she drives me nuts at the best of times

[Don Cooper]

I can dance... Snow,snow, quick quick,snow !

[Don Cooper]

I wouldn't mind Davina driving my nuts.I imagine her handling is expert

[mariana44]

Yes Davina can be OTT at times---but at the moment she is not too bad-apart from that one occasion.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Watched most of the show for the first time tonight, just missed the first couple and thought the last couple to dance were the best, Charlie and Tommy.
