SYTYCD Tour 2010

In 48 hours I will more than likely be getting ready to head out the doors of Nokia (now Verizon, but I refuse to call it that) Theater in Grand Prairie to line up and meet my favorite dancers from season 7, the touring all stars, and season 6's winner. In honor of going to see my third SYTYCD tour, I'm going to pick a few of my favorite dances from this season (and one from last) that I hope are on tour. Also, sorry in advance for the ones people recorded from their TVs - they suck but it was the only way I could embed them on here.

Russell and Kathryn Hip Hop (Season 6)


Billy and All-Star Ade Contemporary


Robert and All-Star Allison Contemporary


Lauren and Kent Contemporary


Ashley and All-Star Dom Hip Hop


Top 11 and All-Stars Jazz


Yay! I'm glad this is on tour!
Robert and All-Star Courtney Jazz


If you're new to my blog or don't pay attention to my obsessions, I'm in love with the show So You Think You Can Dance on Fox. This summer was the 7th season (6th summer season, they experimented with a fall season last year). I got turned on to SYTYCD because I knew a girl in the top 20 in 2007. I've known several people to try out since and currently one of my steps-sister's best friends is considering trying out for season 8 and if she makes it to Vegas the family has already said we're going, haha.

Monster Ball 2010

I honestly think that the Monster Ball will be one of the best concerts I'll ever see in my life. There's no way anything could ever touch that unless MJ and Elvis come back from the dead and Madonna and BritBrit join him. And really? I'm not going to hold my breath. She performed for TWO HOURS straight with no intermission. The only "breaks" were when she'd disappear (while still singing) to change costumes every other song or so. Not only were her costumes fantastic, but the sets were awesome.

Paws Up!

Many of you may know that Monster Ball was set up as a story, kind of like a musical. Gaga and her dancers were on their way to the Monster Ball where they were free to be themselves and the freaks were outside. Act One was spent trying to get there by car, but the car broke down. In act two, Gaga and her friends/dancers tried to get their by subway, but got lost for act three. Act Four was walking from the woods(?) they were lost in during three. When they arrived at the Monster Ball, which I guess could be called act five, Gaga had to defeat the paparazzi monster. I'm guessing the encore was just supposed to be the actual Monster Ball and giant dance party.

Boys Boys Boys

Here's the set list from last night:
Dance in the Dark
Glitter and Grease (new)
Just Dance
Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
Vanity (an old song from before she was mega famous)
The Fame
Lovegame
Boys Boys Boys
Money Honey
Telephone
Speechless
You and I (new)
So Happy I Could Die (best costume by far)
Monster
Teeth
Alejandro
Poker Face
Paparazzi
Bad Romance (Encore)

Bad Romance

I've only been to American Airlines 3 times, but that is definitely my favorite concert and is likely to remain so. The Killers are tops at Nokia (now Verizon) in Grand Prairie, but Gaga is tops at AAC (and honestly, probably, all time). If you get the chance and have the money to spend (which it's definitely worth it), I highly suggest seeing Lady Gaga in concert. If it wasn't so expensive my mom and I both said we'd love to go in March. Until then, we have a new album to look forward to this fall sometime!

PS - sorry the pics are blurry! My camera was being really temperamental and I can't tell which are the good ones in iPhoto...
