So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Week Two<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why did I title this post “A Force to Be Recognized”? Because one of the four SYTYCD Canada judges, Jean-Marc Genereux, a French Canadian who often guest-hosts or choreographs on Do You Think You Can Dance (U.S.), was apparently criticized for his English after last week’s first SYTYCD Canada when he said one couple were “a force to be recognized” rather than “a force to reckon with.” But, I dunno, I think “a force to be recognized” captures the essence of what this show is about.<\/p>\n

In particular, I love this couple! Arassay and Nico. She’s from Cuba, living with her father in British Columbia for under a year, and he’s from Quebec. I’m sure neither of them minds that Jean-Marc’s English isn’t perfect. The video is a little long, because it includes not only the clip of this week’s Theatre Dark Angel dance (notice how I spelled Theatre, because this is SYTYCD Canada) but the preceding interview bit and the judging at the end. But the dance is definitely worth it to watch.<\/p>\n

Now, my question. Why are there four judges on SYTYCD Canada when there are only three on the original American version? For that matter, why are there also four judges on Canadian Idol? I’ve never been able to figure that out. The rest of the dance show follows the American format to a tee, more than Canadian Idol follows American Idol actually, because this year Canadian Idol had a top 22 instead of a top 20 and the show also didn’t restrict the finalists to the same number of males and females. As a result, I believe (I only watched one episode of Canadian Idol this year) the male finalists outnumbered the girls from the start. I actually prefer that. I’d rather see the true Top 20 singers (or Top 22) than have them split along gender lines.<\/p>\n

What say you?<\/p>\n

(P.S. If Teresa E. is reading this, I tried to make the accents above Genereux using your instructions, but they didn’t work. I’m accent-impaired).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
