I missed like, the 1st 10 min., but then saw the rest. I don't know if they introduced the judges & gave their credentials in that 1st part, so I wasn't sure who they were. Anyway, I wasn't that impressed w/ some of the dancers (such as the Bollywood duo; considering they were from India I had seen better Bollywood dancing on So You Think You Can Dance; the Australian group dance was rather flat also). Some of it was pretty good though--the classical Indian soloist, the South African group dance, and the Chinese monks (although some of their moves looked more like martial arts than actual dancing) were the best IMO.

String...I recorded it, so I'll comment after I watch it.

I just wished they had picked a better Host. Michael is so dull!!!! They should have used Cat or someone like her with more personality.

I think it stunk that they gave the popper guy such a low score, he is awesome.

and how do you give a 10 time in a row World Champion duet a "7"?

I just read the Zap2it recap--I apparently missed Robert Muraine in that 1st 10 min! :-(
Oh, I also forgot to mention that the camera work last night wasn't the best. The Argentine soloist was doing a lot of footwork but the camera was only showing her from the chest up a lot of times. What's up w/ that?!

I was just so happy to see the SYTYCD alumni. The popper (still blows my mind) and Anya and Pasha.

As I watched I kept thinking which of these dances I would love to see the dancers do on SYTD. I also loved the monks.

I mostly agreed with the scores. I love the fact that the judging is so fair.

Watched both Sunday and tonights, it was ok. I think there are some really good dancers who got bad scores but most of the scores seemed fair.

The monks were amazing, even though it wasn't what they called enough dance moves. It must be what they feel is dance or I don't think they would have come all this way to do it. I also thought the Bollywood group was really good. The duo was not very good at all.

Well of all things I missed it last night! :-P
