So You Think You Can Dance Season Premier

So You Think You Can Dance Returns!
Fox Thursday

So you think you can dance will return on FOX on Thursday May 22, 2008.

I can't wait! This is the best reality/talent show on TV. While produced by Nigel Lithgow, also the producer of American Idol, everyone of these dancers are insanely talented.

The music and choreography alone will entertain you even if you don't care for talent shows in general. I can guarantee there are no bad dancers, though they do show really bad auditions in the first week or two (they are much funnier than Idol, as you won't get a headache from listening).

The set up of the contest is basically the same as American Idol, the American public gets to phone in votes for their favorite dancer (paired up at the beginning). The difference is that the judges then take over and decide who will leave the show. This insures that there will be no 'Sanjaya factor', no one goes on with just popularity.

This is the way that American Idol should be set up, I have said it from the beginning. The problems American Idol are having are due in large part by haters of the show trying to get less talented contestants further. Howard Stern is one of the leaders of this movement, but there are now many websites known as "vote for the worst".

Anyway, tune in to FOX Thursday, May 22, 2008 to see the talent for yourself.

Dancing With The Stars fans be warned, you may not enjoy the dancing celebrities as much, or may find yourself critiquing them much more severely.
