Oh, So You Think You Can Dance you hook me in every time. And I mean the far and widely superior U.S version. Though, even saying that when I’ve seen episodes and dances from the debut Canadian version I’ve been so impressed with the dances, and choreographers on that as well, I’m just convinced Australian’s can’t really produce a good ‘copy’ of something successful – unless they replace the host, and judges. Yep, the lot.

What makes it worse is that even when Australian networks do give us the superior version; the music the dancers are auditioning to doesn’t make it all the way across the ocean so when you’re watching the amazing dancers that get straight to Vegas, you have to wonder what? With that elevator music?! You’re kidding! How?! But then you realise oh… some desk jockey at Channel 10 has done that. In only 2, or 3 instances (at best) did we actually hear the correct music being played. Let’s hope Channel 10 come up with the moulah for the real tracks for the performance shows once the Top 20 are selected (and we can hear the rule tunes and not some C-grade off the demo shelf junk!)

To illustrate how strongly I feel about this national, no international issue is – I had to share the first group performance – from the Top 20 Results show. Don’t worry, nothing is revealed in the performance itself and it should still be somewhat hard to distinguish who the dancers are in the video if you haven’t caught up. If I wasn’t already hooked on the Black Eyed Peas new album, aside from Boom Boom Pow which Shane Sparks has choreographed this dance to – well, I’m sharing it with you. Sharing is caring. Enjoy!
