Mad World

After Alex Wong's hip hop dance with Twitch, this season on So You Think You Can Dance, I was convinced he could take it all. Unfortunately, he got injured and was unable to finish the competition.

So then, I was rooting for Billy to win SYTYCD this season. C'mon, the show loves him. He's really talented. He made top 20 last season. They changed the format to Top 11 instead of 10 so that he could be in the cast. Last week, they changed it up AGAIN so he wasn't automatically eliminated for his knee injury.

I forgot to vote, and he got eliminated on tonight's semi-finals. He might have stood a chance if I had voted or if there was another girl in the top 3.

His contemporary routine with Ade last night was really beautiful. I really liked the song.

I realized I heard this song last friday on General Hospital during the climax of Francophenia.

Billy danced to the Gary Jules and Michael Andrews' version from Donnie Darko.

The orignial is by Tears for Fears.

I like both!

Adam Lambert's American Idol version is pretty good too.

Legacy

Jonathan "Legacy" Perez

I caught the end of So You Think You Can Dance while I waited for Glee.

They announced the top 20.

& there he was.

He was my favorite in ACDC! He's so good! And cute =] Though, his voice isn't what I imagined. I wonder how he'll do in this competition. I'm down for a bboy to take the title.

Hmmm... I might keep up with this season.

Sparks and McCartney

Grace really wanted to see Jesse McCartney in concert. He was having a great year. "Leavin'" was number one on the radio. Departure is an great album!

The concert was at the Orpheum. It's cool because this is where they hold auditions for American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. I really liked this venue. It was small and quaint. There wasn't a metal detector check, so we were free to roam with our cameras. We had orchestra seats, row H! Alissa and Kelley went too =]

Jordin Sparks performed first. "Tatoo" and "One Step at a Time" were one of the first songs she sang. Those were the only ones knew, so I wasn't sure what to look forward to. I felt like I was watching an episode of American Idol, without the judges' critiques. She didn't do much. It's her and her style. She did make an effort to smile and wave to her fans. The girls in front of me were estatic when she flashed them a heart.

During intermission, we met up with the girls upstairs in the mezzanine/balcony. They spotted Travis Garland in the audience. They had gotten pictures, and a bunch of girls lined up to get their own pictures. Most of them didn't know who he was, but they still wanted pictures.

Jesse's set was so good! He wore a "Sexy Back" type suit, and his backgroud singers also served as background dancers. It was almost like a boyband. He was so cute! He sang most of the songs on Departure. He also sang his hits, "Beautiful Girl" and "She's Not You." Sadly, he didn't sing "Right Where You Want Me." During "Oxygen," a new song, he chose a girl to come up on stage with him. He serenaded and seduced her. We were all like WHOA. We were also jealous.

After, we went to the back to try to meet him. There were about 20 other people waiting too. Travis was there again, and he stopped for second round pictures with us. We can't say the same goodness of Jordin or Jesse. We waited for a long time. When Jesse came out, he dashed straight to his car without even waving at us. It was kind of lame.

I still enjoyed the concert. I just won't wait for him ever again.

So You Think You Can Dance

Grace and I loved So You Think You Can Dance so much last season. We watched it every week and voted for Benji until the phone lines cut out. I requested audience tickets then, but only got approved now for season 3. We got to go see the Top 18 perform.

We walked to Subway while Quintos waited in line. He called us when Benji arrived, and we ran back. We left our cameras in the car because they weren't allowed inside. We took a picture with Grace's phone. He told us to vote for his sister, Lacey.

I wasn't familiar with the new contestants. I recognized Lacey and Hok. We decided we really like Dominic because he gave us attention, so we would vote for him.

We were standing right in front, stage left. You can see us on TV, if you look.
