SYTYCD Week 2 Of Auditions - 5/28/08

So You Think You Can Dance Goes To Salt Lake City & Dallas
FOX 8/7c Wednesday 5/28/08

Week 2 of So You Think You Can Dance? brought us to Salt Lake City, Utah for more auditions. At least on this show the bad ones don't give you a headache, though Mary Murphy's laugh may cause ear hemorrhages.

I love the way this show tears into the bad auditions, I mean the ones who just don't get it. Mary Murphy jumped all over a couple of the SYTYCD groupies tonight. Including one that just looked blankly back at the judges, and another that had to be told to leave the building.

Nigel Lythgoe and the crew of SYTYCD picked up 32 more contestants on the road to Las Vegas.

Here are some of the best of Salt Lake City, Utah:

Chelsie Hightower led the show off in fine fashion



Thayne Jasper



Ryann Race



Kelli Baker, her mother (Bonni Story) choreographed High School Musical (and Kelli had a part in the show), had a lot to live up to. I was not nearly as impressed as the judges were by this performance. She was really good, but she reminded me of Lacey Schwimmer (and Lacey was better). You be the judge.



Lindsay Judkins was good if she controls her facial expressions.




Next it was off to Dallas, Texas. The SYTYCD auditions did not start off well at all. Brian Davidson was up first and ... well, let's just say he is in denial, period.

Stay tuned for video!

There was a pageant girl, Page Jones, who danced like a pageant girl. Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy really told her that the dancers on this show feel the dance. I won't bother you with the videos of the bad ones any further, unless there is a blow out.

Here is Page Jones




Other notables auditioning in Dallas and going to Las Vegas include:

Arielle Coker



Joshua Allen



Kortney Pearson & Michelle Stringham



Matt Dorame



So that was it for tonight! Watch So You Think You Can Dance tomorrow night for another night of auditions. Man, I can't wait for these to be over and the competition to start!
