Reality TV 2
Currently feeling quite congested, not sure why but I took a Tylenol Cold just to make sure... anyways here are my critiques :)
America's Got Talent
Fab Five
Their sync and formation was great! Though even if they're moms, they're young and pretty and should really amp up the sex appeal I think. Sex sells, and especially with that kinda song, I would've wanted to see at least a little waist, and less frump.
Charles DeWayne
He kinda looks funny with the hair I think, or at least with what he's wearing maybe? Also he looks really big in the shoulders/pecks cause of the suspenders I think. It's so different from what we saw him audition in. Love his voice though and his piano playing is very elegant. Also I can really see that cover performance of his become an instant classic on a debut album or something. It's just got that airy-ness that is really needed for certain songs.
Carol Loo
I didn't like it! She was so unique and cute and quirky during the audition, but during this it just seemed like she lost everything that was special about her in the hurricane of what society demands from dancers these days. Really thought this time around she really got lost, what a pity. She was out shined by the background dancers too since it was so different what they were doing. Her pony tail extension was cute though.
Tony Hoard & Rory
Aww Rory missed 2x! I feel sorry because he has to keep up with such a frantic practice with such a distracting and noisy stage. I mean 11yrs? Old dog, so it should be hard for him to keep up, especially since its a collie, and collies are so eager to please.
Eleisha Miller
A little diva/drama queen, I can tell she's gonna be one of those fame starved kids in the future, she looks like she's working herself to the bone, but if she's not good enough, she'll put herself down to the point of exhaustion. It's in her tone and her extreme expressions in her face. Just doesn't seem natural.
Anyways her performance, she's cute I guess as a kid singing and having fun. But definitely not talented enough to be paid to watch. Her singing sounded more like screaming the whole way through. No range as well. If you compared her to maybe one of the child broadway stars out there right now (such as the ones playing Annie), she's no where near that. Again it's the "she's a kid, so we're lenient on cute kids" thing. It's a load of bull and it's unfair for the people who actually have a shot at this.
Paradizo Dance
Loved the stage with the fog machine and the stars in the background, and I thought the spinning with her on his shoulders with no support while shes on her side. Wow. Other than that it seemed like the audition to me though. The stiff pick up was cool too.
Texas Tennors
Now I think I missed them during the audition episodes... but they kinda remind me of something you'd hear in a Disney movie LOL. Especially that blonde one, he kinda sounds like the comic relief character :P I like the voices of the other 2, because those are quite powerful. Don't like the blonde, he's too odd in the group, since the other two are obviously much lower compared to him. If it had been more of a progression of voices, it would've sounded better.
SQ Entertainment
They're okay, tight, choreo is good but truthfully I wanted to watch Deadliest Catch more hahaha = =;; I mean SQ isn't bad, but nothing much to get too excited about I think. Especially since I can't really get a feel for what they stand for. I mean compared to the guys on ABDC, who all kind have a focus for the kind of style they have, and they have a short period of time to perform too, so SQ can't really say "oh that's another show, another league". Glad Piers and I share the same opinions most of the time, but apprently not this time.
Pete Peterkin
Sad, I thought he'd actually play the piano for most of the time, but I don't think so. Also the audition was better I think, rather disappointed.
Alizma
Squeeeky! Gosh they seriously should've seriously just stuck to the voilin... Ugh
Beale Street Flippers
The rose flip was smoooth. Though I really wish they did something similar to the Acro Dunk guys where there'd be some trampoleens and such in it.
The Voices Of Glory
Their harmony was amazing. Maybe since the girl is alto, their voices seem to blend into a boys choir at times. Although wow, still they keep their notes steady and their lungs are full of it. The oldest stands out though since his mouth is doing that O shape most of the time. I think the little boy is the least noticeable of the bunch, but makes up for great accompaniment.
Stay tuned for some colourful commentary during the SYTYCD Canada Auditions :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So You Think You Can Dance Canada
WOW The figure skater came back (Emanuel Sandhu)! But his hair is so odd. Definitely more skilled than before and really made an impact in his audition. I was waiting for Mary's shout... and then it seemed like she wasn't gonna give it. But okay there it just went. Hahaha
Nataile Lyons: I was worried about her in the beginning, but she showed some promise. Though I wished she could've hit it harder though.
Yana Gorojanova: Those are legs of confidence! They kept dancing even after the music, not many people have done that. Usually you see some girls have slightly unsteady legs when they lean onto their partners, but she's solid. I think she just gave me a feeling of a serious dancer. No offense to the others though.
Melanie Mah: interesting, though I don't see why her mouth needs to be opened the whole entire time. Looks ugly, she should use her face as part of the act, and not leave it robotic. Would've put more life into her solo and compliment her piece.
Paul Kus: He had a face like "omg my body is possessed!" Haha. Though it looks like he was getting really tired at the end. So i'm not sure if he can keep up to something more demanding :/ Think he should've gone to choreo though.
Tatiana Parker: Hmmm... I'm being mean here, but I don't think her arm movements are hitting hard enough or .... sharp enough? I don't know something about her arms felt soft and rubbery at times, especially where elbow movement was involved.
Sebastian Mersch: I saw a little Mark in him. He didn't seem to jump too high, but his arm movements were really nice and intricate in a strange way.
Melaine Buttarazzi: She commands more sex than Yana earlier, but for some reason I didn't want to stare at her legs as much :/
Vicky Luo: Liked her performance, it's different than the ones you'd normally see around here, but that was really cool :) Though I think she might get canned cause she might not be able to keep up with the other ones. The kung fu kick was cute too
Brook Jones: Reminds me of a few friends of mine, they also do lyrical hip hop. But yeah its a competition he needs to step it up.
Kate Barett: Nice piece, she started doing a robot face, but she changed it a bit later on. The shirt was distracting, I think something sheer would've enhanced what we couldn't see under the frump.
Noel Wosu: Fun song, lively routine, but started feeling he was getting top heavy by the end. Makes me wonder if he can float during waltz or contemp.
DAY 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frank Lariviere: *shock* Sorry if I spelt your name wrong, :/ too shocked
Jenna Lynn Higgins: Her hair reminds me of Emily from Student Bodies. Anyways her height [of her jumps] is amazing, and her legs are sooo long christ. shes very sexy and graceful too i think.
Manuel Dos Santos: Wow omfg he's nuts. To the point his footwork looked shakey. But yay some partner stuff. Although I wanted to see some connected, hand in hand dancing.
Jonathan Arsenault: Wow his jump was amazing. Although the song choice was a little odd. Some parts of his choreo fit the music, and some didn't. Though he was very good. But that one part where it looked like he was bent over tired, he should've done something else there :/
What an amazing story as well.
Christian Ancheta: WOW that landing! He's one of the better BBoys in an audition I've scene considering how many heights of moves he made.
Katie Purcell: Her center isn't very good, though she's okay to watch. I wouldn't say I felt uplifted by it though.
Everett Smith: He has a pretty good center, good choice of song since it's not overpowering his tap. Also I think it really fits what he's trying to show about his style. Wow, he can pop out some Michael Jackson with those tap shoes :)
Anjelica Scannura: HAWT! Until she started trying throw in all those styles in there... :/ Sad she became a hot mess.
Kloe Schultz: She's intesnse with passion, and I like that in a dancer. Her center was wobbly though so it seems like she landed on a bad note.
Nina Strazzulla: Holy crap she's a contortionist. And holy her routine was really giving it all in her audition. Really looking forward to her in top 20 if she makes it.
Marcel Martinik: Well at least it's not Shakira this time but Enrique . . .
Austin Di Lulio: He does look a lot more fit than last year. And his spin was beautiful as was his jump. WOW he really goes seem to gain height when he jumps.
Xi-an Lam in the little bit before commercial looks very promsing, sad I didn't get to see his audition. Also Alvin looks so dorky like that it's kinda "cute" as Melissa would say haha.
Well looks like that's it for auditions. :)
