We didn't see much of Jesus "Chuy" Solorio in Las Vegas, until he was named to the top 20. Here's his audition in LA. It's interesting that he chose Goapelle's Closer, a song close to the hearts of season 2 Natalie and Musa fans.

Chuy's Audition

Around The Web
Reality TV Calendar always does a good job with recaps. Last night's show is no exception.

The same can be said for Adam B. Vary at EW.com:
Beyond the fact that Hok can do terrifying things with his stomach muscles — and was denied his rightful spot in the season 2 top 20 because of a visa snafu (PS: I liked Nigel's hair better last season) — he is as inventive, adventurous, appealing, and entertaining a dancer as I've ever seen on SYTYCD. It's still up in the air whether Hok can go the distance — those pesky paso dobles are looming on the horizon — but if I were a betting man, I'd peg Hok to make it to the final four.

The Gold Inferno

I gotta say, that IS a cool name...for a professional wrestler. The self-proclaimed American jumpstyle champion (I proclaim myself the American sofastyle champion) made it to the choreography round of last night's audition show. Check out his MySpace page, and Gigs found some video about jumpstyle here. Sabrina Rojas Weiss at TVGuide.com discusses Inferney and all the rest from LA and Chicago. Link

Highlights for LA/Chicago Audition Show
Tonight's So You Think You Can Dance audition show was highlighted by the triumphant return of street dancer Hokuto “Hawk” Konishi. Hawk created an instant youtube classic with an audition of several styles, including old skool, and an homage to last season's winner, Benji Schwimmer.
Benji and his sister Lacey were another highlight, with Lacey proving that talent runs in the family. Houston popper Phillip Chbeeb made tv screens across America go all wiggly, and had judge Shane Sparks in awe. Yesamin Gomez had Shane standing and later passed choreography to go to Las Vegas. Jon "Quincy" Vereen is a guy with a prosthetic left leg, a great attitude, and the best big sister in the world. Unfortunately, his "good" ankle couldn't stand up to the strain, and he had to bow out, despite being invited to the choreography round.
Join us tomorrow for full recaps.
