Out Of Context: So You Think You Can Dance

I think the last two weeks have eliminated exactly the right people, and next week I’m sure Comfort will be gone as well.
Comfort is supposedly a “b-girl,” and sometimes is described as a hip-hop dancer.
I don’t know, but it seems that there’s always a big asterisk next to any assessments of her solo work. If you follow it to the bottom of the page it usually ends up reading as the condescending “-for a girl.” But on its own merits she just isn’t that great. Hardly any b-boy tricks and pitiful use of the stage mark the average Comfort performance.

But on the boys end there’s no one left that I think just ‘needs to go’. Each year there is much made of which side is stronger, the girls or the boys. This year its pretty obvious that the boys are towering over the girls with a huge lineup of dudes with show-stopping skill, right? None of the girls (except for the young Chelsea, who seems to be as good an actress as she is a dancer if her command of emotive expressions is any judge) have done anything noteworthy beyond making their partners look good. Compare this to earlier years and its a bit sad, and I wonder what went wrong?

I guess, in short, you were to ask me if I think Kourtni should’ve been kept a week longer than Comfort I think its a moot point since they are likely only a week apart in their departure anyway.

I think you need to stay away from the TV and spend more time on Dance Dance Revolution.

Rich, I have neglected to blog on this topic, but I’m recovering from a nasty case of tendinitis in my left foot directly attributable to my playing DDR and ITG. This has curtailed my DDR and ITG gaming since the middle of April to about one or two games every one to two weeks.

I’m almost all better, now. I think I’ll be returning to my normal activity levels within two weeks, if all goes well.

Be that as it may, I do watch the So You Think You Can Dance show because I’ve always secretly wanted to be able to dance real cool.
