So You Think You Can Dance finale!

[Cambroneroj]

Next week is the season finale for "So You Think You Can Dance" . We all know that a wining price is a contract with AND if the dancer wants it.

Is Celine doing any kind of appearance on Thursday? I don't know may be some link via satellite of Celine with all the dancers welcoming the winner or something like that . Do you know anything or think something can happen?

Next week is the finale, but it's not the final show. Each of the 4 contestants will perform solo and with each other. America votes the same day, then the week after, each contestant of the remaining four pick a dance they did from the whole season that was their absolute favorite and showcases their abilities the best. Then after the judges critique them...they are picked off, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, then winner! Doesn't it suck to have to wait a week for the results? So, I think if they were to show a message, it would be the last week of the show (in 2 weeks).

[Bellamy]

so it's more possible for Celine to send a video message to the winner.

I would hope that Celine would make an appearance to welcome the newest member to her team. I can't wait to see who it will be!

Jeanne Jakle: 'Dance' session makes everyone feel like boogeying

San Antonio Express-News

 

TV’s dance card is so full of competition reality shows that, normally, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” Besides, the season is nearly over; all that’s left of the show is the two-part finale (at 8 p.m. Wednesday and 8 p.m. Aug. 16).

Then it came — the jolt that changed my life. Well, it changed my perspective on such programming anyway. Just like that, I became a dancing queen. I was pirouetting down halls, swaying in my room, even krumping — I'll explain that later — in the Jacuzzi. It happened in Pasadena, Calif., during the last week of the marathon TV critics fall preview. The death march is how some participants describe it. I certainly felt pretty corpse-like as I sat in the big interview room, waiting for the next session to begin.

Suddenly, the vibe of the place changed dramatically. Music filled the air and two lithe figures, barefoot and wearing light frocks, pranced across the stage with incredible grace. Their names were Allison and Travis, contestants from “So You Think You Can Dance.”

 

Just as I floated into “A Midsummer Night's Dream” frame of mind, the music changed. It was jazzier, snazzier and another couple appeared who would have been the life of any party. Sparkling in the coolest outfits you could imagine, Benji twirled Heidi ’round and ’round, lifted her up and dropped her down —holding her effortlessly as if she were light as a feather.

 

When it was over, the whole room hooted and applauded. Everyone was instantly energized.

 

Any show that could do that during the waning days of the tour was worth a look. So I tuned in and found it highly entertaining — kind of like “American Idol” for the feet.

 

I liked the fact that this isn’t a show with big names, a la ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Instead, it showcases hungry young dancers who work their hearts out just to be seen. Alone and in couples, they perform an extensive variety of steps, from ballroom — the tango, salsa, jitterbug and jive — to street dances such as hip-hop, popping and krumping.

 

Oops, there's that word again. Judge/choreographer Shane Sparks, who appeared with his fellow judges before the critics, demonstrated krumping, explaining that it’s almost like you’re fighting a ghost. “So, everything you do is more of a punch, elbow, a kick, a jump, a grab, a smash. It’s like the streets bringing in their fighting ability through dance.”

 

And it did look impressive — rough, but impressive. Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer on this one and “Idol,” indicated the big difference between the two is that the winner here doesn’t walk away with a million-dollar contract.

 

On “Dance,” this season, Lythgoe said, “We’re giving a car, $100,000 and a year’s contract, should the dancer want it, with the Celine Dion show.”

 

He went on to say that this show is “about talent and putting somebody in what, hopefully, will be the world of dance at the end of the day, and where they go from here.”

 

It’s also wonderfully contagious, so I hope you don’t mind if I scoot away from my computer and get to hoofing it across the room.

SHOULD THEY WANT IT?! SHOULD THEY WANT IT?! THEY'D BE INSANE NOT TO WANT IT! Sorry, I'm done now. LOL

[celinerific]

They'd have to be CRAZY NO TO WANT IT!! I'd want it, even if I do suck a dancing! IT'S CELINE!!!!!! And if they're lucky.. who knows... something interesting might happen

[Koolan]

I hope the winner becomes a fan after being part of the show

[smw]

So I know that the winner of "So You Think You Can Dance" will be a dancer in Celine's show...so does that mean she'll be on the last episode? If so, I hope she's actually there.

[Koolan]

repeat topics merged.

 

Celine wasn't on the show yesterday, we'll have to wait and see if she makes an appearance next week!

[Tal]

should they want it? well wtf is that all about! if thats the case then i doubt celine will make an appearence. if benji wins i doubt he'll want to be in the show.

 

i hope travis wins!!!!!!!!!

[ANewDay...]

i've never watched this show, but i did enjoy the routine that was done to CALLING YOU by CELINE; it was so great, but it also shows how the dancers add emotion to their moves, but CELINE adds tons of emotion to her music.

 

i hope she appears on the finale, and i hope the person accepts to perform in her show; lord knows this person would get to work with some of the best in the world.

Too bad they don't know if Celine will be there or not, either.

[Tal]

I think if she was going to appear, the website would have told us.

[Bellamy]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's very seldom that they know something before us.

[Tal]

But we've heard no mention of it anywhere else either. I think if a huge star like Celine would appear on the finale, they would have announced it on the show like they did with Deal or No Deal.

 

I think the fact that its up to the winner to decide whether or not they want the contract means she wont have an appearance. Because why use up her time and have her do hair, make up, etc only for the winner to say no thanks? Cause remember, its all live. If anything they might show clips from the show like that aired in the first episode when they introduced Mia. But thats it if you ask me...

 

 

Btw I dont think its that they dont know so much as that they dont tell us.

Heidi picked the contemporary dance, "Calling You" as her favorite of the season so they performed it again on tonight's finale :clap:

Cool.

[smw]

Oh dear Lord.

 

It was not only a taped message...but not even a happy one!!!

[kathyc25]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! THEY SHOWED CELINE!!!! SHE LOOKED GORGEOUS!!!!

[Tal]

STUPID BENJI~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Celine did look good though. But her message was wierd and she said "thang"

[Bellamy]

You see I am right about celinedion.com know nothing more than us. They just didn't know Celine would make an appearance at all. I'm anticipating TC would put this exclusive video message one month later.

[Tal]

lmao! you were right!!

[SarahJB5]

YEAH!!! I knew Celine had to welcome Benji! I am so glad that she did! Even if it was recorded, who cares! I taped it, and I am trying to upload the file now to rapidshare...meanwhile I have some screencaps for those who are interested. Way to go Benji! He was my fav!

[Tal]

Benji is no way nearly as talented and versatile as Travis. Had it been up to qualified judges Travis would have won.

[SarahJB5]

I have the video up on rapidshare, just waiting for it to get approved in the multimedia section Edited August 17, 2006 at 03:11 AM by SarahJB5

[Bellamy]

Is that white dress one of her new dress on A New Day?

[ashleylovesceline]

I'm so happy Benji won, he was my fav too! I missed the last minute of the show, thanks to TiVo... argh. So whenever someone gets it uploaded, it'd be nice to see the last part of Céline's message. Benji won!!!
