LA's The Place
Magazine has an interview with So You Think You Can Dance choreographer/judge Shane Sparks. On this year's contestants:
Well actually, there’s this girl, Jessie. I call her ‘poppin Jessie’. She is incredible, and sets the standard for everybody. She’s not the best at lyrical [dancing], but she mixed lyrical and hip-hop and blew us away. She is
definitely in my top 5…top 3. I remember Nigel [Lythgoe] at the audition, he said he didn’t even want to watch anyone else. She did that well.
