SYTYCD? I think he can!

I love watching So You Think You Can Dance. I love seeing -actually- talented people on TV. While the realms of reality tv is secured by plastic bimbos (here’s looking at you Speidi), little is left for people who appreciate talent and art. I’m not a dancer, I don’t watch sytycd and think “oh, great technique”, I say “wow, this person, through my television screen is making me feel something, and looks beautiful doing it”.

So far, the 7th season looks promising for sytycd. The first episode aired tonight and I think the person who stood out for me is Teddy Tedholm. This quirky looking guy came on the screen, I did not expect him to do what he did, and mostly I did not expect him to make me feel the way he did.

The song chosen, Prague by Damien Rice, a haunted song, is one of my favorites. According to his youtube account the dance is choreographed by Billy Larson. It was, nay, is fantastic to watch!

I skipped all the “woo it’s soo crazy in NY today” crap. I don’t like the sappy stuff and I particularly hate the sob stories they put on these shows. I like getting to the point. An amazing dancer, an emotionally charged dancer. Please disregard the judges crying and blabbering. The dance, by itself is enough.
