The judges

NOTE: The 6 rating is for the show itself, the way it's run, not the contestants, these incredible troupers, who deserve a 10.
The thing I like most about this show is how the dancers have to step up each week and perform in a genre that is usually much different than their own; this requires the performers to be unbelievably flexible - not just physically but mentally and emotionally, and most of them are genuinely inspiring to watch.
I don't think the judges are really fair, especially Nigel, who seems to not appreciate anyone whose style and personage is different than the mainstream ideas of gender-acceptability. He has more of a problem with some of the guys, whom he berates for not being 'masculine enough' to take the lead with a female partner. Very limited - and limiting - imagination, he has. I really like Mia Michaels, who's the complete opposite: very open-minded and fair, a true artist and an inspiring creative force.
I also don't think it's fair that the 3 lowest-voted boys and the 3 lowest-voted girls each week get THIRTY SECONDS ONLY to show what they can do individually before the judges make their decisions. This is ridiculous, it's clearly not enough time - they should be given at least 2 minutes or at the very least a minute and a half so they can allow their chosen routine to build a little; with the THIRTY-SECOND time, everyone usually winds up looking frantic. Give these people a break, I say. They have time for a complete performance from a guest star, like Neo, this week, for instance, but they don't have time for the actual contestants? This is absolutely pathetic.
The show is clearly a personality contest, and they admit it. They're not looking for 'America's BEST dancer' but rather 'America's FAVORITE dancer,' and this is okay, because let's face it, any public competition generally winds up being a popularity contest anyway. So at least they're up front about that. I especially appreciate how they show the performers practicing each week in the genre they've found themselves dancing in. Sometimes it looks like they'll never be able to pull it off, but 90% of the time, once they're in their costumes and the audience is present, they manage to shine.
8/16/07 : THRILLED that Sabra won tonight! I didn't think she had a chance; I was sure Neil or Danny would take it, and I have a feeling she felt that way too. I've been watching nearly ever week just to see her numbers - when she dances, you can't take your eyes off her, plain and simple. The judges did get it right about her - she has The Magic. Something you can't buy, steal or be taught. A thrilling performer.
8/8/08 : This time around, I was rooting for either Katee or Joshua to take it, and I couldn't have been any more pleased that Joshua won last night. Another great year, very inspired and inspiring.

Reality TV Show that Works
jobear248416 July 2013
Reality television as a whole is a cesspool that collects the very worst of human behavior and emotions in a cistern and lets it fester until it creates the fertilizer for the destructive roots growing into the foundations of civilized society. There are a few exceptions. One of the major ones is the Fox series So You Think You Can Dance. All the ingredients for the cheesy talent competitions that have embedded themselves into a huge section of most stations' schedules are present- 3 judges, an impossibly photogenic host, and a bunch of attractive young people yearning to realize their dream. But that's pretty much where the similarities end. The major difference is these kids are actually talented. They dance their little hearts out every week and are an absolute delight to watch. SYTYCD is such an anticipated pleasure each and every season. There just isn't anywhere else except Broadway and your local dance troupes that you can experience the joy of watching this level of dance. The choreographers have won many an Emmy for the show, and deservedly so. The complexity, story, and variety they put into each number elevates this reality show to heights far beyond the hoi polloi. The show exposes the viewer to many different types of music as well as different forms of dance, most of which one would never have exposure to. This isn't "Dancing With The Stars" where B-list celebrities try desperately to adhere to simple foxtrots and tangos- we get treated to everything from African Jazz to incredibly challenging contemporary pieces choreographed and danced by some of the best in the country. It's culture, folks. Don't think that it gets bogged down in pretentiousness, though. This show is, above all, fun. Everyone involved seems to be having a ball. The kids enjoy strutting their stuff, the choreographers love the exposure, and the judges genuinely seem to care for the kids. They also give advice that actually has to do with dancing! Not only do they seem to enjoy each other's company, there's a guest judge each week to keep the chemistry fresh. Nigel Lythgoe is such an advocate of dance and Mary Murphy, the lost Osmond, is so infectiously perky that it's impossible not to have fun along with them. Host Cat Deely is also such a fashionista half the reason to tune in each week is just to see what she's wearing. The audience enjoys it all as well- I guarantee that at least once per week you will get goosebumps from one of the numbers- and who doesn't love that? The final element that I like about SYTYCD- each season I've watched, the audience watching at home that calls in and votes have got the winner right. This isn't a show that encourages a backlash like what inspired the American Idol's "Vote For the Worst" campaign. Those of us who watch it vote for the best dancer, not just the prettiest face or the largest personality. Yes, in earlier rounds, even up to some of the final shows, a personality will get a contestant far. But unless they back that up with actual talent and effort they won't win. And that's what makes this reality show more real than most, and a real treat to watch.
Very Entertaining!
islandxrose11 September 2006
Coming from a point of view of just a "regular person" I watched So You Think You Can Dance and fell in love. It does have a lot of the same tricks as American Idol, but there's one big and important thing that it does not share, and that is when they eliminate the contestants for the purpose that America does not pick the best dancer based on just personality. What actually happens is that America picks the bottom three couples, and then they each have 90 seconds to prove themselves(it is obvious who has practiced or not) and then the judges eliminate two of them. And I think majority of the time, the judges give very good reasons, they are not biased, they are fair. But afterwards, when it comes to the top 5 couples, they are separated and then randomly chosen for one another to see the chemistry they can have with other partners. In that voting process, America chooses who stays and who leaves, until the final four where one is chosen as America's favorite dancer. (not America's best dancer) Another thing I liked about the judging process is that they switch judges to prevent a bias, but they are usually judges of different styles just as the contestants are. The contestants are obviously chosen because of their strength in their own style, but in the process of trying out, they are tested if they can follow different sorts of choreography well to test their versatility and if they can, the judges tell if they are voted into competition or not. But throughout the competition, they do beautiful and fun pieces, which makes the show very addicting to watch because no one knows what type of dance will be chosen for them or how they will do.
This is a show that will have hardcore dancers on the edge of their seats and complete amateurs begging for more. It's real dancing and it's really, really awesome.

I study voice and so when I watch a show like American Idol, I can tell when they're faking it. Worse - they always get away with it. I also dance, so I was not going to turn away an opportunity to watch a dancing American Idol. Way better than the original. You just can't fake it. The dancers are either good or they're bad - no getting around it. The result? An absolutely amazing hour of dances that remind you to love the arts. There's hip hop and ballroom the entire spectrum is covered. I personally can't wait for a second season and would recommend this show to anyone who has ever tapped their foot while listening to music. It's just that good.
this show will NEVER go off the air
dancer-4515 June 2009
Unlike singing competitions which can begin to feel like karaoke night twice a week, So You Think You Can Dance is fresh and will keep renewing itself. Dance is always changing, always becoming more global, technical, artistic, theatrical, and more. There are no limits in dance, and thus this show has the potential to go on forever.
The greatest thing about this show is the showcase of the different genres by gifted dancers. Not only is it a "competition" show, it is a performance show. Sure there are the judges to comment, phone numbers to call, and bottom three to fret about, but in the end this show achieves the most in broadcasting the world of dance.

In my opinion: It used to be must see TV
noodnix22 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Don't get me wrong. I still enjoy the show for the most part, but the quality of the show has gone down drastically since the last season. This year, I'm finding the judges comments to be somewhat questionable (especially Nigel's criticisms). The judges should be able to remain impartial to the audience/viewers and not make it so obvious and in your face who their favourites are. This year, the obvious pimping of Katee and Will is enough to make viewers disinterested in anything the judges have to say. I know for me, half of the time I tune them out, because their comments no longer mean much to me. They should remain unbiased and objective. They've failed miserably. Yes, they've pimped dancers in the past, but this year it's downright pathetic.
The quality of the dancing as well is not as high as it was last year, maybe they're just not finding dancers of the same calibre that they found in the past. While the judges picked the "best", there is an overabundance of contemporary dancers which makes the show less interesting to watch(at least when the dancers perform their solos). It doesn't help that the same dancers are "choosing out of a hat" the same genre of dances over and over again. I mean Comfort getting hip-hop multiple times when that's her specialty? How is that statistically possible when there are enough genres out there that there should be little to no repeats?! The types of dances are getting repetitive.
I used to love tuning in - but this season: not so much. Some of the dancing has been fabulous and noteworthy, but that is too few and far between. Overall - this year, I'm still tuning in, hoping that it will improve...But I'm just not feeling the excitement anymore.
It's kind of disappointing.

Season 17 killed the show
stagandgoose14 July 2022
I have watched every season of the show and loved it. I don't know what the producers were trying to do getting rid of Nigel and Mary and other professional choreographers to judge, but this has been such a disaster. I couldn't even get past more than a few episodes. I really hope you guys get your act together, because the show is probably going to die after the 17th season. Revamping is not a thing. It sucks every time.
A Must Watch For Everyone :)
Dancerskickbutt24 March 2007
This is my favorite show. I'm a hip hop dancer, and I was thrilled to see the great hip hop in the show, as well as the other dance styles that were delivered with great technique and performance. All the dancers stepped up to the plate and conquered all the styles. Even though, on fox, this show is second to "American Idol" it's much more entertaining.I felt that dance is really coming back to America. And that's great, it's the most overlooked of the preforming arts and i'm glad that it's getting recognition. The judges on the show gave good criticism. The ceorgraphers did everything right. The pairings had great chemistry. This show is a really good pick for anyone who is looking for a great reality show in the summer. One warning though: it's addicting. Once you see it you won't be able to stop watching.
Don"t Like
scrapbookwb6 July 2006
Some of the dancers are really good! But I really don't like Martha, she looks like a man dressed as a woman and I really don't like her dancing. I can't see why anyone would think she is hot. Natalie and Musa are HOT!!!! I really like the show and look forward to it each week. I really like Shane as a judge and a dancer. I think that Mary is to much sometimes and I hate all of that screaming. I would like to see the show next season, but I hope that they will let the public vote people off one at a time not in couples. I don't think because one of the dancers are not so good that maybe a good one should be on the chopping block.
What was once artistic exploration is now gaudy trash.
lorelcom7 July 2022
I LOVED this show in its early seasons. It was about dance--all kinds of dance. And the judges had strong backgrounds in in the art form, particularly Mary and Nigel and--sorry I forget the names, but there were a few modern/contemporary choreographers with thoughtful criticisms. A variety of styles were explored, and dancers working outside their genres was fascinating to watch.
Then is started to be all about getting an audience reaction to every little move--so naturally it became all about the sexy moves--woo woo!--not about technique or interpretation. I love me a good paso doble, but it's hard to enjoy a dance with the audience screaming and swooning so loud you can barely hear the music. Also, the contemporary pieces started to look more and more alike.
The range of dance styles grew narrow, the original judges were replaced by non-dancers, and I stopped watching. But I checked it out this year (2022) and it's gotten even worse (Leah Rimini as a judge???). As other reviewers have noted, we've got the sobby back stories and all the judges GUSH about the dancers rather than offering constructive criticism.
This is so disappointing for me. I'm not a dancer, but I truly used to get caught up with, even emotional about, the routines performed on SYTYCD. It was a wonderful tribute to the many aspects of a beautiful art form. Now it's just a burlesque.

From the opening number to the eliminations, the talent is tremendous, the judging is fair, and the sets are lovely. There is not another show on TV that I plan for and miss and look forward to returning, like So You Think You Can Dance. Thank you to the world-class choreographers and the stunning costume and set designers who encourage the best from these amazing dancers. Love, love, love SYTYCD!
the best dance show ever!!
fields_of_roses-12 April 2008
I love this show. I loved all the dancers, and I loved watching them too. They were all amazing. Nigel Lythgow was the best judge, and I loved Cat Deeley as the host. I watched this show, every week, and I watched season 2, and all of season 3. When my sister showed this show to me for the first time, I fell in love with it right away. I'm glad Sabra won, but Danny was really really really good too. Lauren was good, but not as good as Sabra. Neil was excellent, and I think he came close to being as good as Danny. Pasha was good, Dominic was good, Hok was good, and everyone else was good, but not as good as Danny and Sabra. I was so happy that I started watching this show, because I got hooked on it right away. I can't wait until season 4. Wahoo!! I give this show a 10/10.
Missing original format
cjbharrold21 May 2022
The dancers are very talented but no more than in previous years. Missing Nigel and Mary. Their years of experience and expertise are so needed. Twitch is great as a judge and as a former winner of SYTYCD knows what it takes to be a successful dancer. I've watched for years and will continue for at least a few more episodes to give it a fair shot.
Bring back Nigel and Mary
lhillix15 August 2022
So sad and disappointed. This has been my favorite program for many years. This year was simply a cheap version of a spectacular premise. The dancers they chose were not as good. I missed the presence of the past winners. Nigel and Mary were the best part of the show. And finally you cannot be America's favorite dancer if America cannot vote on the favorite dancer. Please please remove the show but bring back its former glory.
It's no accident that this show has won so many Emmys
lyndalu-605-2912414 August 2018
Superb talent. Some of the best choreographers in the country. Gorgeous costumes and make up. A variety of dance styles so I never get bored. Several routines each show that move me to tears. This is one of the best shows on television.
My only problem is that I love so many of the dancers I can't decide who to vote for.
I hope this show has a long, long life on TV. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

The BEST Dance Show since ABDC days
allirenew21 February 2020
Different this year.
itztracyg17 April 2024
The dancers are still incredible, but I'm not enjoying the season. Don't like the way they're showing it. Really don't get to see how the dancers improve throughout the year even though it's been a few shows. They need to go back to the way they had it before. It's hard to pick your favorite when you really can't see them dancing upfront there with a pack of other people. It just seems like they're getting rid of people quicker and they don't seem to be able to improve their dancing. The judges are OK not as enjoyable to watch. I have been watching this from the beginning and it saddens me that it's going to go away because there will be low watching due to the changes. Why change what worked please go back to the other way so we can watch the beautiful work these dancers do.
There is nothing I like about the newest format.
christinielsen14 July 2022
I have been a fan since season 1 and have adjusted to each new tweak in format as it came along, until 2022. This newest format doesn't have much going to recommend it. For starters it's too rushed. We went from auditions to live shows in a blink. This didn't leave any time for us as viewers to get invested in any of the dancers, or their fates. Next in the line of fire is the new voting. Going from mass audience voting to only using the studio audience, I've been in that studio and it's not a lot of people, is a joke. Millions of opinions down to dozens of audience members deciding on "America's Favourite Dancer" is laughable. Then the judges decide who goes home...and then there's the judges. Leah and tWitch are great. JoKo is loud and pretty obnoxious. I'll hang in there for the love of dance and loyalty, this time. I hope they reassess after this season, and go back to what made this a competition show in the first place because legacy loyalty only goes so far and I won't sit through this format again.
Will Mary Murphy be back as one of Judges?
danapbyrne1 May 2022
I love "So You Think You Can Dance!"
I really hope Mary Murphy will be one of judges in this show that will be renewed soon. Mary had been a great and interesting judge in the previous seasons with her expertise in the dance world and wonderful personalities that had won of the hearts of so many of us as dance fans.
We look forward to seeing this amazing show again.

SEASON 17 IS UNWATCHABLE!
darthsteele-3933830 June 2022
For 16 seasons this was my family's favorite show. My kids grew up with it, we'd watch it on summer vacations and we'd have enthusiastic conversations about our favorite numbers and choreographers. BUT THEY RUINED IT WITH SEASON 17! The new audition format, THE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE GOD-AWFUL JUDGES! And early eliminations of the BEST dancers out of the final 12 has made the show completely UNWATCHABLE! It's beyond sad, it's truly heartbreaking.
So addicted to this show...but tonight's vote?????
marion-michel3 August 2006
I want to start off by saying that I wasn't really interested in this show at first, but I started to watch it in 2006 and it is one of the most entertaining show I've see so far. Now, my first comment is on the show of August 4th 2006. I just love Donyelle to pieces, she is a great dancer, she has the most beautiful eyes and has a great smile.
I have to admit I have a little crush on Donyelle, but on the other hand, I don't think that she is the one that should have stayed in the competition at this stage. She's great, she really is, but Natalie is a much stronger competitor. She has a knee injury and still gives a strong performance. She has wonderful stage presence, such amplitude in her movements and a lot of finesse when performing in general, whether it's a solo routine or not. She is so wonderful and more than a pleasure to watch.
The way she generally interacts with the audience and her partners is another strong point. My feeling is that the fact that she had Ivan as a partner at this crucial point in the competition (before the previous vote) is what killed it for her. Ivan is really great but by his lack of professional training he has way less versatility and is far less refined than the others. He enjoys dancing and it shows, he's lots of fun to watch, but in my opinion, unlike many dancers he wasn't really what we call born for that.
Some people have it in their blood but way more important it's in their soul and that cannot be taught, but is felt in everything they do. But as I said earlier he is great to watch and he always seems to have the best time when performing, and that's important too. He will need to get to the basics and fundamentals of dance and get the training he needs if he chooses to make a career out of it.
Natalie is a dancer in every way, heart and soul and even though I love them all, I think it is very unfortunate that she was voted out. Donyelle is very talented and has a lot going for her, but she will need to give it all she's got and beyond to beat Heidi.
Heidi (she is so unbelievable) and Benji...WOW!!! I love them to death, but in terms of giving it all 100% and climbing, even though I like Benji a lot and he puts on one hell of a show, Travis is a stronger competitor in general. Overall they are all very talented, and they have a great career in their future that's a given. Keep up the good work people.

Used to love, now horrible
Mimi34fq10 November 2022
The judges are a huge disappointment. This show used to be wonderful. What I loved most (beside the exceptionally talented dancers) were the professional judges who offered technical commentary and brought their own dance experience to their evaluations. I'm not sure how the current judges are qualified. Siwa is very obnoxious, and in general the judges say things like "you brought the vibe" but don't provide anything beyond generalized statements. I don't know - it's just not good anymore. Mediocre like so much television and this too seems to be going for political points rather than actually focusing on talent. Bring back Nigel and Mary. I'm not going to be watching anymore.
the show
Kirpianuscus20 December 2019
After many talent competitions, it has a virtue- it is different. Profound different. And it reminds the force of dance, genre by genre, to say, in profound sense, with deep intensity, the truth about skills and art and people on the scene. In same measure, it is a contest in which the viewer is part moment by moment. Because the fair judgments , the each move, the music are tools for discover yourself and for remind the intensity of dance as pure form of art. So, for many reasons, the show.
America's "Favorite?" Dancer
mdlee11 August 2008
This season, I am more disappointed than in previous years. With the choreographers out doing themselves as if they were in a secret competition of their own, and the dancers having more ability than ever before, I feel that Katee should have won. On the finale, did she not have more callbacks than the other three? Was not her work more consistent than the other three? As a former competitive ballroom dancer for almost 14 years, and having adjudicated hundreds of ballroom competitions, may I say that it is the job of the man to present his lady and basically show her off.
Except for lifts, the girl always does more work than the man. Joshua was excellent this season and if Katee could not win, then I am satisfied with Joshua as the favorite.
But....no one will ever convince me that she wasn't the best dancer in the final four. And, her humility and lack of "mugging" for the cameras during the phone numbers was refreshing to see.
Lastly, Katee paid for her training with money and the sweat of her body with practice after practice, Joshua and Twitch are virtually untrained. I think that Katee's desire to be a dancer, her commitment and dedication to this point in time, and the fact that she delivered a superior product EVERY time out the entire season....well...this time I think America got it wrong.
I hope that if there are any friends of Katee reading this forum, please let her know there is one viewer who voted for her (lots and lots) and will be looking forward to seeing her future successes in dance.

But....no one will ever convince me that she wasn't the best dancer in the final four. And, her humility and lack of "mugging" for the cameras during the phone numbers was refreshing to see.
Lastly, Katee paid for her training with money and the sweat of her body with practice after practice, Joshua and Twitch are virtually untrained. I think that Katee's desire to be a dancer, her commitment and dedication to this point in time, and the fact that she delivered a superior product EVERY time out the entire season....well...this time I think America got it wrong.
I hope that if there are any friends of Katee reading this forum, please let her know there is one viewer who voted for her (lots and lots) and will be looking forward to seeing her future successes in dance.
Sincerely, Morgan Lee
