Status Quo On ABDC

If you had only seen the SYTYCD season 3 auditions, you would think that Jamal Weaver was the star of the Status Quo Crew. As we're learning from America's Best Dance Crew, the star, heart, and soul of the crew is E-Knock, Ernest Phillips. Thursday night, Status Quo had to battle it out with ICONic to avoid elimination.


I'll be pulling for them all the way, but it's impossible to not love JabbaWockeeZ.

Missed this the first time through, but in this interview, Mary Murphy mentions that Wade Robson will be one of the choreographers on season 4. Maybe it's not a sure thing that he won't be returning, but I'm still hearing it's doubtful.

SIDE NOTE: This is BSYTYCD's 1000th post. Appropriately, our unofficial correspondent Loralyn contributed heavily to this report. Thanks to her and all the tipsters, fellow bloggers, article writers, recappers, photographers, videographers, video uploaders, and montage makers who give us so much great material to cover. Thanks especially to our readers and commenters from all over the world.

Australia Auditions Montage

More Plagiarism? (Video)

From a Russian show which, I believe, translates as Dance With Me. Fans of the US So You Think You Can Dance will instantly recognize both pieces.



If Mia and Shane didn't each get a check from the Russian producers, they've been ripped off.

Thanks to Loralyn for spotting these.

CORRECTION: It's Bulgarian, not Russian. My apologies, and thanks to a reader for spurring me to dig a little deeper.

SYTYCD News Roundup

Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and...Tyce Diorio??? Look close and you'll see them all in Paula's latest music video, “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow”. Oh yeah, some guy named Simon shows up too.




Watch for season 2 finalist Jaymz Tuaileva in US commercials for Dulce de Leche Jello and Orbit Gum.




Our friend Carissa has videos comparing Pasha & Lauren's Shane Sparks-choreographed Transformers routine, and a recent Transformers routine from PBS's America's Ballroom Challenge. Plagiarism, or artistic homage?

Mary Murphy referred to season 3 finalist Jimmy Arguello in a recent interview. He didn't get a chance to develop much of a fan base, but watch his I Can Only Imagine solo and tell me he isn't a serious talent.
