  • blahblahchick
    I dontthink it's fair to put those from other seasons in (Billy, Alex, etc..) let the newbies run the show because the ones from previous season are majorly known and popular! I hope Kent goes realllly far. he is an amazing dancer. he can do all sorts! (hip hop..he's a beast...jazz..lyrical..tap..ballet..ballroom) and plus he has a great personality! PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM! AND REPLY TO ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!
  • djjazzyjacqui
    It would be a travesty to NOT have Alex & Billy on the show. They are two phenomenal dancers - they absolutely have earned the right to be there.. did their solos in vegas not show you that? As far as I could see they set the standard of what to expect.
    Kent is incredible and I'm looking forward to what he can do but Alex & Billy are certainly going to be top contenders - don't disregard that.
  • Ddddancer.
    If the top 10 went my way, I would love to see Ryan Ramirez and Giselle Peacock
  • Anon
    I'm so bummed about the hip hop situation! Really? Melinda and Lauren Froderman were the standouts for the judges in hip hop? It is so annoying how they edit the way they want the audience to perceive. Notice how they didn't show them doing the hip hop on stage full out next to other dancers? I guess this means that Lauren and Melinda are the best of the girls that they cast for the show, in hip hop, but I am confident they were not the strongest of that group in Vegas! The manipulation is irritating!

    I've heard people complain that Comfort is not strong enough to be considered an all star for the show, but keep in mind...since they didn't cast any true, authentic, hip hop dancers for the show...Comfort is going to definitely look like an all star next to the contestants!

    Weak ballroom and no hip hop...I am disappointed in the casting! All the dancers will look great and it will be entertaining because the choreography will be suited to the dancers they are working with, but that's not how the show first started! I miss seeing the dancers struggle to be authentic in different dance styles, and I miss seeing some of them not pull it off at all...because that's reality!
  • firekombi
    so, 4/5 or 5/6 contemp'ry-ish for boys in the new stars + 4/6 contemp'ry-ish girls from all stars. at least you will get 2 contmpry-is coupls every week here.

    and 3/6 the all star boys are contemp'ry-ish with 4/6 new star girls being contemp'ry-sih, at least one contemp'ry couple here.

    15/20 or 16/21 contmep'ry-sh dancers. that is very over represented. I like the way they do it here in Aus, in terms of casting.

    love the dancers, not the casting.
  • lovedance
    i can't believe that ryan ramirez didn't make the cut! i thought i saw her name on the top ten list a while back!! :S :S i must have been mistakened! It's really a huge pity though. she would have been so awesome on the show. :( :(
  • pche
    Ade Chike, Billy Bell, Alex Wong - unique with technique
    Robert Roldan - the quiet strength
    Kent Boyd - the popular one

    After seeing Ade's solo, I'm sorry to say Robert might be the fodder, very sad.
    The girls are decent compared to last season (Mollee, Noelle, Pauline). Solid training is always good. But they are all jazz dancers and we've seen jazz before (in fact nothing but jazz). If Nigel wants diversity, he had a chance with Jacelyne Orle, who can pull off contemporary ballet and modern (something Alexie A. can't), and maybe Ryan Ramirez.
  • jason
    I wish ANTHONY BURELL made it instead of ade chike
  • Tonic
    I second that
  • firekombi
    boooo...

    bad casting! where is male ball room? actually, not much variety in the boys at all.
  • Gabby
    Hi, good to find this site. I dont know anyone's name but i saw the spoiler's list. Did the girl with the hair issues make it? I liked her.
  • alice1810
    No, she didn't. I liked her too :(
  • Kelli
    Gaahh, I was rooting for Bridget Krouse all the way. But LoFro is amazing. She's just definitely not a "newbie" as the show has been suggesting though. She's trained at Dance Connection for years, and also has ties to Initial Existence(the company Kaitlyn Conley and Alexa Anderson belong to) under the direction of Dana Metz and Natasha Louis. She's also worked with Mandy Moore and has a few national titles if I'm not mistaken (and I think one of these alleged titles comes from NUVO). She's incredibly talented, but I don't like how the show is misrepresenting her. At her LA audition they opened with her saying "I'm a cheerleader, and my friend told me these auditions were down the street from our competition so I thought I'd check it out." And while she may be a cheerleader, they're making her look like some girl that just decided to do this on a whim. Good luck to her though.
  • Brandon
    Anyone else a Lauren fan?
  • Chightowerfan
    absolutely...amazing dancer, amazing personality...She gave me the best first impression of them all =)
  • MIke
    ME! she is beautiful , nd an awesome dancer :)
  • anonymous
    Love love LoFro :)
  • Tonic
    I get that Ryan has a reputation of excellence behind her, but if she continues to dance through Vegas the same way she did in her audition it's understandable why she wasn't chosen for top 10
  • FreakyCheeky
    Apparently, one of the requirements for making Top10 this year is that you got really close last year before they cut you.
  • Faith
    Kent and Lauren are the two newbies they cast, and I think they're both excellent! They were both bubbly and cute, and that's what personality they were casting. Ryan is definitely more shy and internal, but she is also really friendly and sweet...they were casting a formula for a show and Ryan didn't fit the formula this season! Hopefully next season they'll take a chance on an artist who isn't goofy, and cutesy...I think as an audience we would find that refreshing :) I love Lauren and Kent though...I just wish they'd made room for Ryan too!!! Next year...if she auditions again.
  • sytycd bummed
    Oh, you mean from the couple of seconds you saw from her edited one minute solo? Whatever...
  • Tonic
    I not knocking her, and I'm not agreeing she shouldn't be in the top 10, what I was saying is most of the time they are looking for contestants that do a lot of tricks and have a lot of bells and whistles not necessarily the best or most well rounded soloist. From what I saw last night, if that is the same level she dances at all the way through Vegas I understand why she doesn't make it over some of the more bubbly showmen like Alexie and Lauren.
  • FreakyCheeky
    I agree with you about Alexie and Lauren. They have that 'perky factor' going over Ryan. I'm envisioning stage moms in the wings shouting "come on, sell it. SELLLLLL ITTTTT!"
    And then they put on the perma-smile and win over people like Schenkman, who starts getting weepy if a girl is overweight or if a guy is deaf.
    Opinion: He had it in his mind he was going to be harder on Ryan, I think, due to her background, and the reputation that preceeded her.
  • Liz
    I can't believe there's only one tapper! And I agree with the fellow posters who thought all of the tappers got robbed last year too.

    Really surprised at some of the people who didn't make the cut. I'm not a fan of all the SYTYCD changes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And bring back the smaller stage!!
  • lauren7
    this season sucks i really hate that there is only 11 contestants that is not enough at all...with only 5 girls and 6 guys you can't really grab onto certain ones as your favorite b/c there isn't enough to choose from.

    i really wanted lexie and ryan to make it and now i am just kinda bummed and don't really care anymore. if it were a top 20 they both would have made it. i hate it when shows change the rules i think it is retarded i mean i know last season wasn't that great so they are trying to do something different but the only reason last season suffered was b/c it was in the fall. ughh i am almost angry at SYTYCD b/c they changed WAY too much this season.

    also about this whole all star thing i like the idea i guess but i think if they were gonna do all stars it sould have been like an all star season with just all stars that the fans voted on their favs to come back and comp. to find the best of the best. the way they have it set up this season i think is pointless and stupid and will take away from the contestants actually competing this season. and with the group they chose its a big mistake b/c the contestants seem really lame.

    ugh i am so disappointed in this season and it hasn't even really started

    THANKS A LOT SYTYCD & FOX FOR BEING LAME & STUPID

    DON'T MESS WITH A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!
  • Wicked mind
    no wonder they need an extra boy, look at the guys, contemporary, contemporary, contemporary, contemporary and a ballet.
  • lana
    Haha I came here to post pretty much this!! After seeing him tonight I quite like him a lot.
  • dancaaa
    kent boyd, ftw. :]
  • blahblahchick
    yessssssss ! i love him :) i hope he goes al the way !
  • starr
    omg! just saw his audition, LOVE him...it seems that the judges have really chosen to go after the whole package/potential this season rather than diversity...although it seems that they really want a contemporary boy to win the show (hence they are stacking the odds in their favor)
  • andy
    What happeed to Anthony Burrell and dujuan i think smart?
  • Aussiegirl
    Well sadly it appears that they didn't fit the mold for this season?! I wanted to see both of these dancers as well. I really hope they try out next season. Both have mad skills!
  • laura
    kent boyd is so adorable. i love him
  • Kimi
    I was so ready to fangirl and vote for Ryan every week too... :( oh well she's still an amazing dancer. I'm excited for Alex Wong, LoFro, and Kent <3
  • pop
    omg i love melinda! she's not only talented but she is GORGEOUS and has a cool personality!
  • E. . . .
    Ugh, so sad about Ryan. She's so amazing.
  • Deborah
    I am not sure if just having 10 contestants is going to be as good as watching 20. I think more people will agree when they start watching the true show. Since thie beginning it has been 20...when American Idol changed there format...it really hurt there ratings. I think it will hurt SYTYCD and there ratings as well...Bring back the 20 contestants next season....
  • lana
    Ugh I couldn't agree more. He was so disappointing watching the audition shows, seeing SO MUCH talent and knowing only 10 dancers would make the show. Impossible.
  • chimbooze
    The season has die for me i really wanted Natalie Reid to win even tho she didn't audition and also not that good but I like her hair so bummer :(
  • asdfghjkl
    Ryan... :(
  • bittersweetmee
    this season has die for me i really wanted a girl to win well RYAN to win so bummer:(
  • FreakyCheeky
    Ryan got robbed. Jobbed. Whatever you want to call it.

    She is, at 18, already more impressive (IMO) than any of the girls they kept in their Top 5. Looking at it from afar, it seems fairly obvious that Mia being a regular judge (instead of a guest judge, as some other mentors have done in the past) affected Ryan not making it this year.

    You say downthread that Mia being on the panel had nothing to do with it? Was that one of the producers who told you that? Or somebody else involved in the selection process?

    If so, they would have a vested interest in wanting you to believe that.

    If not, I'm looking forward to seeing what she did during auditions to lose her spot. She is too talented for politics not to have played a part in that decision (again, IMO).
  • Zay
    I aggree with you 100%. first off, after watching ryans solo tonight, I didnt quite understand why the judges could not "connect with her", she was amazing and i thought her dancing was incredible. But thats my opinion. Second, I can not believe she did not make it in the top 10! ( again in my opinion) The only girl on that list that i actually like was Alexie, the others were just so so in my opinion. The boys all seem great but I do not think they did very good at picking the girls this time. But who knows I can not really judge until I have seen vegas!
  • love you.

    i totally agree that ryan's too talented not to make the show, but this show has never had a good record with choosing the best of the dancers they had in vegas. so wrong.

    reality television i hate you.
  • Guest
    What 'reality' , Trandrew? It's obvious that they had an agenda for the show long before the audtions even started. The level or kind of talent that they saw had nothing to do with who was chosen. I am so disappointed in this show since season 6; I never agreed 100% with evry thing they did... I mean, its an art form, so no 1 will ever agree with it all. But until season 5, I really thought they were trying to develop dance talent and really choose 'Americas Favourite Dancer'. I think I wont watch anymore.
  • FreakyCheeky
    Love you back.

    Tool Academy. Now there is a reality show that casts fairly.

    All those who had a hand in Ryan not making the cut should go fill out their applications. They are shoo-ins to be America's Favorite Tool.
  • whatashame
    there is like no hiphop dancers at all!
  • sigh
    Damn, wish that Lexie and Ryan had made it...but I'm okay with the girls list. The guys seem boring.
  • NO BALLROOM ON SYYTYCD 7 BOOO!!! Go Cristina Santana and Alex Wong
  • jason
    I know abosolutley no ballroom dancers but they do have enough room for 7 lyrical/jazz/contemporary dancers atleast one salsa dancer made it
  • dancefan
    congrats to LAUREN FRODERMAN!!!!!! I'm a huge fan of her! can't wait to see her on TV!!!! she's RIDICULOUS.
  • Tiffany
    no ballroom guys???
    this season is not diverse at all.
  • Marco
    i still don't get why they picked one extra guy... hope they at least give an explanation...
    ..and i don't want to bring this up again... but 4 contemporary boys out of 6? ...Man!
  • Jonathan67
    Maybe they selected an extra guy in case Billy Bell gets sick again...
  • mark
    here is my theory because i absolutely refuse to believe that ryan didnt make it: having 6 guys and 5 girls is just plain weird and unfair to girls, soooo i'm thinking (at least hoping) that ryan made it and they are saving that as a huge shocker, also because some i know is for sure convinced they saw ryans family jumping up cheering at the end of tonights show when they showed the clips of the judges at their houses. sooo we'll see
  • Marco
    Hahahaha!! Yeah that's gotta be it
  • dance_freak
    Hey, this is my first time on this site and my first time reading the spoilers. Is this site normally 100 percent correct? If so, I am really excited. If not, I am really anxious.
  • dani
    yes it is usually very accurate.
  • bendance
    i hope a girl wins this year. i am so sick of it always being between two guys - joshua and twitch, benji and travis, russel and jakob.
    so glad alexie made it. i hope she goes al the way and not like in the first two weeks like pauline did last year
  • Jenny
    season 5 jeanine won and she's obviously a girl.
  • marycos
    And Sabra won S3 - another girl
  • Wow, the boys list is very homogenous. Don't like that. Billy Bell has something that really grabs me, but the rest of those contemporary guys are kind of a blur to me. I personally liked Adrian Lee better than Robert Roldan. Oh well. Hope Jose Ruiz can stick around. I wish there was more diversity. They *REALLY* should have put a male ballroom dancer in there. Sad, sad, sad not to see that.
    Girls list is actually more interesting to me, for once. Glad to see Alexie Agdeppa. Surprised not to see Ryan Ramirez.
    Thanks for the spoilers! I hate having to wait through audition week.
  • Belle
    It seems like the quality & importance of ballroom dancing is getting lighter & lighter on this show from last year. Until S4, there was always somebody phenomenal (both boy&girl) in ballrom remaining for a long time which led to great partnering and high quality latin routines. From last year, there are dancers who cannot do ballroom as it should be (especially latin) staying so long. Now, there isn't a single ballroom dancer in the final top11 from the beginning. Will contemporary be the best routine of every night again?
  • Sharon
    I agree with you. In my opinion season 3 had fantastic ballroom routines because there were 4 ballroom/latin dancers that year (Fiana, Lacey, Pasha, Anya). Having said that, i honestly think all the ballroom routines this year wil be quality because each contestant will be paired with either Pasha or Anya. I think that will help. I do love my ballroom dancers though and if you think about it, they usually include at least two ballroom/lating numbers per episode therefore they should have more ballroom dancers.
  • La
    It's really unfortunate that there are no ballroom dancers, ballroom is such a huge genre of dance all around the world and yet it is consistently under represented.
  • Kelly
    YAY ALEXIE!!
  • Marie Ravi
    Not a single hip hop dancer? That's surprising; I thought for sure they'd have at least one. Other than that, I'm a little sad Ryan didn't make it in (really, they should make it an even 12 contestants if they're adding an extra boy), but glad to see Alex and Billy made the cut.

    Is there even a slim chance they'll even it out to a top 12 to match the all stars, or is it a definite 11?
  • Drew
    WOW! I am shocked Ryan and Adrian arent on here...i was in vegas this year and these dancers are all awesome! I will be on tv tmrw :) yaya
    you will be seeing me next year! Thanks Trandrew:)
  • Ray
    #TeamAlexWong, boy is a POWERHOUSE. So happy he made it.
  • Milo
    i'm angry there is no Lexie Contursi here....maybe next year :( But very happy with Alexie and Billy :D
  • bryantphan
    Nice. I guess 8/11 right...
    I thought Adrian Lee was going to make it over Ade.
    I also thought Ryan was going to make it... This is crazy... I think this year is gonna be a battle between Billy, Alex, Robert, and Alexie.
  • Micala
    Well, I am slightly disapointed in the lack of ballroom. Maybe that is why there is only 2 ballroom all stars. Otherwise, I am not
    disapointed by any of the choices, but most of them are pretty new to me.
  • JASON
    FINALLY I KNOW THAT ALEXIE MADE IT
  • dani
    Thank you Trandrew!
  • alice1810
    Overall, pretty happy with the list. I hope Jose is good at other styles, seeing as he is the only non-contemporary boy. (I am for talent over diversity, but I would like a good mix, at least for the first half of the season). Does anyone know what stage the judges will lose control at? I'm guessing around top 5. And will it be a bottom 2 or 3 or...?
  • Blaqueworld
    i'm pretty sure the judges aren't losing control at all this season, more format changes....
  • lana
    Not seeing Ryan here sucks, but it looks like a strong mix of dancers all in all. Though I did like that Ballroom guy as well (sorry I forgot his name) I thought he was cute : )
  • bittersweetmee
    why ryan is better than all of those girls im so pissed!!!! :(
  • Guest
    Finally -- Alexie Agdeppa! I guess there's some consolation in that!
  • Rixxx
    Ryannnnn. No!!!!!!
  • sytycdfan
    cheering for kent boyd!
  • soytyoucdanceee
    agreed ! kents not known yet and Billy and Alex are , so I hope people realize that Kent is an extremely amazing person aswell dancer ; and i dance with him ! we are all rooting for him :) and we are going to l.a to see him ! but just pass it on to everyone you know to vOTE FOR KENT BOYD !!!!!!!!
  • SoWa
    I wanted Anthony Burrell to be one of the guys, he's amazing and I think this was his last year to try out... Totally bummed now...
  • Megan
    This makes me wish so badly that it was still top 20. I wanted Ryan to be in the top 11!
    I am glad they picked billy and alex.... and from what i saw of Full deck, i already like him better then legacy. i hope Melinda does work unlike the tappers from last season.

    Loves it, wish i hadnt spoiled it for myself but whatev.... I need something to hold me over to Vegas Week.

    also - i am dying to see Alex and Billy do hip hop.... get those boys out of their element
  • KK
    Billy can do hip-hop, you'll be surprised
  • sytycdchick
    wait till you see Kent ! he's a BEAST!!!!!
  • I, too, am dying to see Alex Wong and Billy Bell do hip hop. And I hope for some *real* hip hop.
  • rekupp
    at least we know who the fodder is now. they might as well have said they wanted billy bell or alex wong to win the season.
  • lisa
    hmmm...i don't typically like ANYTHING you say but i think you're on to something lol
  • hahahahahahaha this made me laugh.
  • DjJazzyJacqui
    I am soo bummed not to see Ryan's name in the top 5 girls. She's still in LA which means there could be something else on the horizon for her...Andrew? I'm ecstatic to see both Billy and Alex's name on this list though.
  • pop
    i just hope that the fact that ryan was mia's assistant doesn't affect her chances of making it to the show
  • anon
    When Mia was just going to choreograph I think Ryan was totally on the show...but now that Mia is on panel...I think she is going to be robbed of her spot! If that happens, they totally SUCK!
  • mia being on panel had nothing to do with ryan's decision from what i heard.
  • data
    Curious. U mean it was Ryan's decision not to compete?
  • nope it means that their decision was based on how she did in vegas and the personality she showed them. not "well she was mia's assistant so she gets minus 10 pts" nopeeee
  • anon
    In terms of "personality" I think it helps to have a humble, shy, sweet girl in the top! Everyone doesn't have to be as goofy as a Mollee! That makes me even madder that you said that Andrew! From what I heard in Vegas all of the producers loved her and she performed great in every style...so that's just crap! They didn't cast her because Mia is on the panel, and they would never admit to that...so whatever! Our loss because we don't get to watch her every week!
  • no i get ya! but my source would tell me if the mia thing did play a part! trust me! :) i'm upset too, i know, but i'm sure she'll come back and try again later! she was so close.

    i just didn't want people to start speculating that mia was the definite culprit in ryan's cut. 'tis all! :)
  • sytycd bummed
    Of course they're going to say that! It would make them look pretty shity to have ryan work all the way through the audition and then admit they could not cast her this season! It is TOTALLY the Mia thing! If they were smart they would have cast Ryan for her hip hop ability alone. They are really going to be lacking in authentic hip hop this season! Twitch will save them on that! I'm sure the other girls are talented...I'm bummed though!
  • Guest
    Their were lots of hidden agendas involved in Vegas. They probably wont show most of it tho.
  • Tally
    if you would just put me out of my misery and tell me that Lauren Froderman made it...i would just be so happy :)
  • patience is a virtue my friend :]
  • The Deej
    Hopefully this tapper doesn't get screwed like the s7 people.
  • Lucy
    You really think the tappers last season were robbed? I'm sorry, but, uh, okay?

    Also, whatever, see these contemp/jazz/ballet dancers right there? Most of them are also tappers, so people should get over it.
  • anon
    You think the s7 tappers were treated badly? You should have seen how they treated the tapper from season 1. Sandra Colton was apparently a good contemporary dancer as well--not that we ever got to see that. Nigel then promptly forgot Sandra along with the rest of season 1's dancers.
  • ihn
    the only people screwed in season 6 were the kids that were forced to partner the tappers.
  • so much win, thank you! i think he mentioned her a few weeks later or something on the show...
  • Anon
    I'm bummed they would put a tapper on over a ballroom or hip hop dancer or even another phenominal contemporary dancer, because since the show doesn't do tap...then she is just taking the place of another awesome dancer who is GREAT at one of the dance styles the dancers actually perform! I love great tap, but there is NO tapper that is better at contemporary, hip hop or ballroom, then dancers where those are their strengths! I think it is stupid to push for tappers on teh show unless they are going to add tap as a style that's performed!!! Especially with only a total of ten dancers on teh show this season!
  • lauren7
    i actually completely agree
  • Lauryn*
    I don't think you guys should worry about Melinda. She's not just a tapper, but she's definitely trained WELL in other things as well. Before auditioning, she and Ashley Galvan worked on Wonderland, a new musical choreographed by Marguerite Derricks. Marguerite is a technique QUEEN.

    And as far as her tapping goes, she's a little legendary as well. Better than all three of the tappers from last season. If any tap dancer deserves to be on this show, it's her. Trust me.

    I don't think yall will be disappointed in Melinda Sullivan at all.
  • pop
    I Agree. All of the tappers last year left early for a reason.
  • you're assuming she's terrible at other styles...
  • Anon
    Not that she's terrible at other styles, but definitely not as good as some of the other dancers that will be cut. It is dumb to push for a tapper to be on the show!
  • oh well i don't know her personally and i haven't seen her dance yet, so i won't judge her just based on tap being her strongest suit. i can agree that i want other brilliant girls on other than her, but from what i hear she's a really great tapper? hah
  • Aisha
    Isn't she the one who did 39 pirouettes? She does other styles too.
  • nope that is alicia clifton!
  • Sytycd YES
    I'm really nervous because I think as soon as Mia took Mary's place on the judging panel then Ryan was screwed out of her chance on the show! I hope I'm wrong, but I just have a bad feeling! It would be such a shame because I heard from people who were there that she totally blew everyone away with her improv in LA and then with her hip hop in Vegas...Most of te dancers who know and who were in Vegas say that she totally killed it and that she was the girl everyone was talking about...it will be the shows loss and the audiences loss if we don't get to see her unique and innovative style on the show this season!!!
  • Guest
    Lots of people were "screwed."
  • i can tell you mia had no part/affect in the decision regarding ryan ramirez :)
  • Jason
    im good with these dancers
    Billy Bell
    Alex Wong
    Jose Ruiz
    Christina Santana
    and I just need Alexie Agdeppa
  • Stace
    Alex & Billy! <3 My day has officially been made, thanks sytycdism for the spoilers as always!
  • starr
    i really happy that Alex has been chosen, I don't think there's a single person out there that thinks that he doesn't deserve to make it into the "Top 'whatever-Nigel-decides'"
    Personally, I'd like to see him win and I'm ecstatic that he's being recognized as "ballet." (although those of us who are familiar with his background know he really started off at jazz and tap, but has found A LOT of success in ballet.) If you have seen his youtube posts you will know that Alex can truly dance all styles including hip hop...i'm most excited to see if he can really tackle ballroom!
  • he's decent at ballroom, his weakest genre is hip hop.

    also, he was indeed very good at tap, and he considered it his strongest suit until he quit at 15 to pursue ballet.
  • starr
    since Alex negotiated to have his contract at MCB terminated so he could have a leave of absence and audition for s7, do you know if he will return to the company after SYTYCD?
  • he didn't negotiate to have his contract terminated. he simply chose not to renew for the next season which basically means he quit after this season was over.

    i don't know if there's an open invitation for him to come back after SYTYCD but if edward villela lets him he might. i think alex wanted to audition for other companies and try out for other things if anything though.

    Here's your answer for ballroom :)

  • Sharon
    The only two people i wanted to see on the show have made it, Christina and Alex. I don't care for anyone else so completely happy. Combined with some of my favourite dancers of all time, Lauren, Neil, Pasha, Twitch and Dominic - super excited for this season.
  • Ah, thank you! I knew you wouldn't leave Alex Wong until last just to play along with Nigel, really I did. LOL. Terrific!
  • alice1810
    Yay!! Both made it!! Ugh I hate Nigel.
  • Guest
    My suspicion is that Billy Bell was actually the 11th. They make up the rules as they go along ... overly fair to some and ruthless and cruel to others. I'm losing interest in this show. At least on American Idol they treat everyone the same.
  • Lucy
    "At least on American Idol they treat everyone the same."

    Wut? In your dreams. lol And AI already did the extra contestant thing before. With Anoop.
  • fan
    im pretty sure Alexie Agdeppa will make it she made it far in vegas the past 2 seasons she made all the way to broadway in season5 right before the green mile and in season 6 she made it to the green mile just to be denied but she has a good chance this year
  • John
    did lauren froderman make it ?!?!
  • livvv
    I think people should stop complaining about so you think being too contemporary based. Everyone went through the sane audition and the best dancers got through. If contemporary dominates, then so be it. And honestly, every person who won, or shpild have won was contemporary. Ie. Nick, Travis, Danny, katie, J9, Jacob all best on season. Of course kayla, ade, lauren, and jamie were standouts as well. Not only on contemprary but everything!!
  • aaa
    Kayla was definitely on of the biggest standouts in S5, she killed everything, there was just that one broadway, but that was Joey's fault.
  • Gabi
    IMO katee wasnt the one that should have won. I dont like Joshua, but there was Chelsie, and she was awesome most of the performances. Better than katee, imo.
  • pop
    I agree. i loved both katee and chelsie but Chelsie definitely should have won: she was an amazing dancer in every single style and she had a lot of charisma.
  • Sharon
    Jamie was a stand out in everything? I remember her sucking badly at Hip Hop and Ballroom. She was only good at contemporary and jazz.
  • lisa
    Sharon, I remember it the same way you do, too. There's some hypocrisy around these parks for sure.
  • Sharon
    Thanks Lisa, at least i know someone agrees with me.
  • sucking badly is an overstatement lol she was decent
  • Sharon
    Do you remember that samba and waltz? I chose to forget it.
  • obviously you didn't forget it because you just mentioned it... just sayin.

    that last waltz she did with dom was terrible, but that was more the choreographer's (toni redpath) fault than jaimie's. and dom didn't help either.

    that samba was bad but it wasn't a complete trainwreck.
  • Sharon
    wow andrew, trandrew whatever your name is seriously you run a dance website...your not god....get over yourself....

    i chose to forget the routine because it was so bad.....and it was a figure of speech

    block me delete me whatever i seriously dont care...i have more than one ip addy

    and i find it hard to understand why you choose to pick fights with people who actually bother to visit your website.....
  • fefe
    ok, girl you need to chill. you're entitled to your own opinion, but YOU are the one making it personal. trandrew was simply stating his opinion, but you are the one who spun it into "trandrew thinks he's a god" blah blah. no need to get all pissy because someone doesn't agree with you.

    anyway, jaimie was extremely underrated in her season. i believe wholeheartedly that if she had a different partner (i love hok btw but he didn't do her any favors), she would have gone much further in the competition. not to mention she got screwed over with boring dances early on (that broadway? waltz?). and that godawful viennese doble sealed her fate. she WORKED that hiphop by the way, so saying she "sucked badly" is severely misguided.
  • lol and we have these ridiculous "trandrew thinks he's a god" comments again. honey, you're six months late to that party.

    and i'm not picking fights. i'm just stating facts about what you brought up. you said jaimie sucked badly. why don't you rewatch those clips and see what the judges actually said to jaimie. they always had nice things to say about her. sure, they might've been a little critical on her samba, but they still said she did okay. correct me if i'm wrong but they didn't say she "sucked badly." that is the point i was getting across.

    jaimie's one of my close friends so it's natural that i stick up for her. it's the lack of a valid argument behind these strongly negative comments that triggers my responses. nothing else.

    so no, i don't think i'm a god. no, i don't think i'm better than you. but yes, i do think i'm correct when i say she didn't suck badly.

    go ahead and don't visit my site anymore. i find it hard to understand why you would go on a website, trash someone, and then try to argue when you have no real argument. boohoo, omg i'm going to lose one visitor. i'm not going to bother blocking you. you're entertaining, troll.
  • Sharon
    "jaimie's one of my close friends so it's natural that i stick up for her"

    So there's the truth, you just decided to pick on my comment because she's your mate.

    I never said Jaime sucked all together. Infact she was a great contemporary dancer and some of her solos are some of my favourites but truth is i think she SUCKED at other styles and only produced one quality routine on the entire show (which was the jazz, which was a combination of her technique, Hok's technique and Wade Robsons genius choreo).

    Truth is Andrew or whatever, she's your mate, i said something negative about her dancing and you decided to get all up in arms about it.

    People are gonna say crap about people you are friends with on this site....get over it.
  • Maggie
    you're totally right. i remember nigel and mary getting on toni's case about trying to do a spanish/flamenco inspired viennese waltz and it just totally falling flat.
  • guest
    i saw someones "tweet" that said something like "look out world for ashley g. and ryan r., I am so proud of them" and I think mollee gray retweeted it. Idk, but that might mean something about them being in the top 11.
  • bittersweetmee
    im pretty sure ryan made it she happens to be in L.A right now what a coincidence!!! :D
  • Well, at least they are *trying* to create some diversity amongst the girls. Glad to see the show giving tappers another chance. Excited to see what Christina Santana can do. Still hoping to see Ryan Ramirez in. Very glad to have Billy Bell back. I am looking forward to watching him try a variety of styles. But I still fervently hope Nigel is just toying with us and Alex Wong is that 11th contestant.
  • annie
    billy made it? so does that mean that alex is out? i would so much rather have alex then billy. i think alex is much more versatile.
  • Lucy
    IMO it's pretty lame that anybody can tell by looking at the top 24 list who without a doubt will make it. If you are not a contemp/jazz/ballet dancer, yeah, you are in. LOL Sorry, all the complaining about ~diversity gets on my nerves. Call me crazy, but I'm all about quality over ~diversity. Which is funny because most dancers on the show actually are trained in multiple genres (even if they don't admit it ;), so the ~diversity stuff is lame AND doesn't make any sense. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm in the minority here. w/e.
  • Linda
    You're abolutely right Lucy. I think the show should add a new category for "all arounders" and let them do their solo in whatever style they want to. Making them stick to one style is lame.
  • Lucy
    I think most dancers wouldn't admit having trained in multiple genres, only if directly asked. Just remember what happened with Russell...

    It's an advantage to make people think you are a poor poor whatever boy having to dance a genre you have never seen. And it's amazing how most viewers believe in it! When in fact 99% of the dancers know so many genres it's not even funny. And I'm not criticizing at all! Quite the opposite, I'm all about quality and contemp-and-everything-else dancers. lol It just makes me mad when people start bitching about ~diversity when it means they just fell for the 'poor poor' BS.
  • lisa
    I don't believe they are required to do solos in one style.
  • Lucy
    When they try to go too out of the box they are criticized. I think Jaymz? He was a "jazz dancer" in the program. But he did a paso doble solo...he was eliminated by the judges. lol People always criticize the show for lack of diversity, but what they really want is mediocre dancers struggling *cough SYTYCD Canada cough DWTS cough*.

    People like Jaymz (the majority of the dancers on the program) are trained in tap, ballroom and hip hop. Hell, I would like to know if any, ANY contemp, ballet or jazz dancer in the show didn't know tap. It makes me crazy the "oh, there is a tapper here!". Whatever, almost all of them are also tappers. BS. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person I know who trained ballet and jazz, but doesn't know tap at all. lol
  • they aren't but if the producers don't like what you're doing, they'll tell you to change it.
  • The Deej
    I don't know about that. Asuka was criticized for doing a non-ballroom solo and I believe was eliminated.
  • I don't get why it's top 11 and not 12 i mean might as well put another extra girl in there, and then it would equal the number of All Stars.
  • Don
    My guess: somebody at Fox wanted the show expanded another week because of some scheduling thing (my gut tells me it has something to do with that planned series about the "Glee" online auditions).
  • nope, fox has a locked schedule for SYTYCD.
  • Eliz812
    Okay then, everyone complaining about the diversity of this season should cease immediately. Four filled spots and four different genres? Should be an interesting year!
  • Hahaha just you wait...
  • freida
    Okay, it's officially Monday, right? Spoiler please (emphasis on the please?)! :)
  • Marco
    do you think there's a chance that our top 10 will turn into a top 12?
    because obviously picking one extra boy is not fair to the girls...
    plus there's 12 all stars... does anyone here at SYTYCDism have any info/heard any rumors about that?
  • I heard it will be Top 11.
  • Marco
    alright... it just seems so weird... we'll see how it plays out!
  • BalletBoy15
    Alex had better be the 11th! Please let us know as soon as you find out; some of us can't handle the suspense. :)
  • Allie
    my guess for the rest of the girls...
    2. ryan ramirez
    3. ashley galvan
    4. lauren froderman
    5. lexie contursi

    lots of contemporary girls
  • I sincerely hope that Alex Wong makes it. Nothing against Billy Bell. I really loved what I saw of Billy last year. But, Alex Wong also really impressed me. I'd love to see both of them on the show. Hopefully Alex is indeed that 11th contestant. Nigel might come close to breaking my heart if he isn't in.
  • bubbz
    OKay it is pretty obvious alex wong made it, nigel wouldnt go out of his way stressing that one of them didnt make the top 10 thus making it a top 11 to 'shock' us.
  • Guest
    I love Alex 2, but its not fair to make up new rules for certain people. I'd love 2 see a few other people who were cut in Vegas on the show. How bout a top 12 or 14 or 16?
  • There's no indication that Alex is the 6th boy. The order of these spoilers does not pertain to the order they were chosen. I think it's impossible to judge who the sixth boy was, and although they might make it seem like someone is the sixth on TV, it may not even have been that way.

    I would also love a Top 12 just to make it fairer on the girls side since there were so many amazing ones in the Top 24, but I heard it will only be 11. 14/16 is stretching it just due to the number of all stars available, money, and FOX's locked schedule.
  • Guest
    Does it matter who it is? They still changed the rules 4 1 person. That's not fair. The show is losing credability when the producers do stuff like this. Their are other people who didn't even get 1 fair shot.
  • I was just making sure you weren't pinpointing Alex as the fault since you addressed him in your first post. That's all. I do agree however with your points.
  • Guest
    No contenstants' fault; I love Billy, Alex, Teddy; they were my top 3 picks for the boys.
  • Jenny
    Happy that Billy made it, do you know if the extra person is Alex?
  • Jay
    Please tell me Ryan Ramirez makes it
  • Lena
    Yes!! Billy Bell is amazing, not to mention my favorite from the very beginning. Now let's just hope that Alex made it in, too.
  • Annie
    YAYAYAYAYAY BILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! Can't wait for Ryan Ramirez, Lexie Contursi, and Ashley Galvan this week!!!!!
  • rxk
    I'm sensing a dance off between Billy and Alex at the intro show.
  • E. . . .
    Trandrew, have you heard anything about whether there's an issue with Ryan competing since she was Mia's assistant? I would love to see her in the top 10/11!
  • Kat
    If that was a problem most of the dancers wouldn't be in...I mean Kayla was BFree's assistant. And Lauren was Tyce's assistant ON the show for season 2 right before her own season. It won't be a problem at all. :o)
  • alice1810
    I hope that's the case, but Tyce wasn't judging that season
  • Kat
    I asked Andrew a while ago about it and he said it was no problem.
  • Sharon
    Thats a bit crap considering when Will was on Debbie Alan wasnt allowed to judge. Why is it different for Mia/Ryan?
  • ryan is simply an assistant. she helps demonstrate choreography at conventions. that is no where near the relationship debbie and will had. debbie mentored will and brought him up dance-wise.
  • alice1810
    Thanks, great!!
  • alice1810
    Really happy Billy made it but reeeeaaallllyyy hope the extra boy will be Alex... And oof I just want to knowwwww! I hate waiting for stuff :P
  • Azuah
    I just did a strange angry/excited tumble around my room. I don't know how to feel about this whole Alex/Billy situation. I hope Alex tries out again next year, and they better not pull a Brandon on him.
  • valeee
    I looooooove Teddyyyy! I think he's a genius...so different from the other dancers
  • Rixxx
    So does this mean Billy made it and Alex didn't?! I love Billy, but I was rooting for Alex.
  • Derek
    Billy BELL IS A GREAT DANCER BUT i FEEL HE IS SO OVERRATED AND I have my suspicions of why Nigel and his motivations in making him the frontrunner of the show since the show has not even begun.
  • Guest
    can we please have more then 1 announced a day? :) ..
  • Nope! I would if there were more than 11 contestants. Sorry! :)
  • Chels
    Trandrew, can you atleast tell us that Lauren Froderman or Cheryl Smith made it ? ...you would make my day, and I would love you forever[;
  • Guest
    okay :(
  • Chris
    OMGGGG yessssss!! BILLY BELL MADE IT :)
    Thanks for sharing it :))
  • Simona
    yeeeey, Billy made it!!! i was rooting for him! but i love alex too...
    "One thing’s for sure: only one will make the Top 10." but both of them can make top 11? pls tell me you're only trying to trick us!
  • Emma
    yes billy!
  • guest
    OMG BILLY YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • liz
    another spoiler please! i'm dying here :)
  • Sara
    me too!!!!!!!!! please
  • Chelsea
    Come on people....Both of them didn't make it into the "top 10" but there's a "top 11". Obviously they both made it.
  • TOm
    cann we just please knoww all of them ?! [:
  • Lena
    Wait so, since there is an extra guy, does this mean that there IS a chance that both Billy and Alex made it into the Top 10/11?? Because if they both made it then I would just about die of happiness!! :)
  • Sharon
    OH my god! I love christina santana...shes amazing...i saw her in vegas last year...gorgeous!!!!!!!! hope she wins! i would die to see a salsa routine with her and pasha!
  • guest
    Gosh, do you already know the entire top 11?!
  • annoyed.
    He always does, but he's obnoxious and refuses to post them all at one time in order to boost his own ego by having everyone say "oh my gosh will you pleeeeeease tell us one more?!"
  • Maddy
    Interesting that you would call someone who gives you information willingly without asking for anything in return "obnoxious." You know what's obnoxious? Ungrateful, rude, immature, and greedy people who decide to tear other people down on the internet. If you don't like the way he runs this AMAZING site, then watch the show like everyone else and find out the Top 10/11 in two weeks.
  • lolol or maybe it's boring to just spill all of them. i already flat out posted the top 24 the last day of vegas. some people just ask for too much. ingrates.
  • Sharon
    I agree, but i don't think you should call people who are visiting your website ingrates. After all they are generating traffic to your site.
  • Jay
    You're doing an awesome job!!! I wake up everyday in anticipation, of who you'll announce next! Your site = your rules! All Hail Tandrew!! :-)
  • Melissa
    Trandrew! We love you and appreciate this sight!!! It IS BETTER leaking them one by one!! So much fun!! Screw the haters!! ~Melissa from Seattle
  • Thank you Melissa!!
  • data
    Wow. Just watched the Christina Santana clip. She's phenomenal.
  • i hope that alexie will made it to !*
    i love cristina to death but i fell like she will be cut very soon :(
  • lisa
    I feel confident that Anthony Burrell will make the top 10/11 and kick some major ass.
  • Antonia
    Yay!! Cristina are in the top 10 (: She is an amazing
    dancer. The best wishes for her.
    I don't like they having to choose just one between Billy and Alex, both are
    amazing dancers and deserve a opportunity
  • sigh
    I'd really like to see Ryan, Alexie and Lexie! Even though I know they won't all make it :(
  • Guest
    Ummmmm, how can it work with an extra boy unless the 11th is just a sub or standin?
  • well since there's 12 all-stars, having an extra boy doesn't mess with the number of all-stars available. and since they only eliminate one person a week, not a couple, it doesn't mess with the format.
  • Guest
    Then why not 11 girls too? Sounds like SYTYCD is still confused about what their trying to do.
  • bryantphan
    Wait. When did Nigel say either Billy or Alex?
  • go to mjsbigblog.com they had a post on it
  • hannahhh
    I think that Jose will go far.he reminds me of a cross between legacy and dominic and if he did make it in the top 10..or 11, then obviouslly hes decent at picking up other styles.
  • Sharon
    lets hope he chops that damn beard!
  • yep he faired well in vegas apparently!
  • bittersweetmee
    mmmm i really have the feeling a girl is gonna take it this season and i hope is ryan i just love her style of dance cuz is so very unique and i know she is versatile that's why i was i little bit curious to see 11 guys and not girls maybe indeed billy and alex got to the top 11 boys and one of them is the eleven and yes i know nigel said that either billy or alex not both but maybe it was just to get our hopes down so we can be more shock when it actually the opposite happens is reality tv he can do stuff to makes us wonder and get more viewins and rating so i won't believe everything he says
  • plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz let cristina santana in !
  • Dani
    She's in! :D omgomgomgomgomgomg.
  • guest
    Mayyybe Nigel's pulling a quick one over us by saying only one of Alex or Billy will get in? He also says in that interview that there will only be 10, but now there's going to be 6 boys so hopefully the twist will be that both Alex and Billy will make it :)
  • Lucy
    Good point. That way he could start saying "sorry, but you are not in our top 10....and that's because you are in our top 11!". It's SO sounds like him. He did something like that in Billy's audition S06, by the way. lol
  • mel
    that's what i started thinking too, technically alex and billy wouldn't be in the top 10 together so what nigel was saying would be correct. fingers crossed!
  • anonymous
    I know he sort of brought on himself, but I hope Jose doesn't get compared too much to Legacy, by the judges at least.

    And if Alex doesn't make it, I'll be thoroughly disappointed
  • Lucy
    Let me guess, you guys will say Billy's name (or not) last, right? I'm dying here! lol
  • elaine
    I was really hoping to see more of Ryan Ramirez...but is that not possible with Mia as a judge?
  • Ryan auditioned in LA which will be next Wednesday's episode.
  • bendance
    i so hope alexie agdeppa makes it. she cannot make the green mile three times and not make it
  • She made it to green mile once. Haha. I do agree that she should make it though. :)
  • bendance
    o i thought she made it season 5 and 6, and now season 7
  • she made broadway round (the one right before green mile) season 5. she made green mile season 6. and season 7 she made top 24 and technically there wasn't a green mile, but i guess you can call it green mile. hahaha.
  • bendance
    o australia has a green mile. thats where i get it from haha.
    she should still make it though. and i hope a girl takes it out this year
  • ChrisV
    I WANT ALEXIE!!!!
  • Queena
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ALEX BE IN IT!
  • Jenny
    oh and on Mj's big blog they had a interview with nigel lythgoe who sadi that either alex or billy will make the top 10 but not both. He said this after last nights season premire.
  • Mike
    im really hoping cheryl smith, and lauren froderman both makee it ..their great and cute/hot too[;
  • Jenny
    Did alex make it? I really want him to make it
  • ravenhyena6
    Ooh, nice little surprise. I just hope this season offers some diversity from the contestants.
  • Lena
    I'm dying to know if Billy got in!! He better have he's so good... :)
  • Lucy
    Yeah, that's the only name I care about really. lol
  • Lena
    Exactly!! haha
