Does anyone have a link to a video of those two brothers who danced to Techno Rock? I loooooooooved that performance! I can’t believe they didn’t make it!
My partner and I have watched SYTYCD since the first season and we were completely outraged over Nigel’s overtly homophobic comments about “alienating our viewers” by showing two men dancing. We are the ones who’ve been alienated and won’t be watching any future episodes of this show unless Mr. Lythgoe retracts his statements.
The premiere was marred by Mr. Lythgoe’s homophobia and Mary Murphy’s clueless reaction. She acted as if she never saw a gay couple.
How can anyone defend the appalling behaviour from the judges or the mock editing? This case was homophobia, plain and simple. They could have criticized the dancing, but instead, they made it a gay issue.
The disturbing thing is that apparent hetero “allies” and gays that internalize societal homophobia don’t see how the judges comments went from critiquing the dance technique to the issue being about two men showing affection. Uh sorry folks, equality is NOT Will and Grace and ‘hidden lives’, its about the freedom to enjoy a life expression as everyone else does. Now that’s equality. When judges critique the fact that social constructions of gender were ignored in the pursuit of fulfilling one’s life and saw it as ‘problematic’ to say the least, then they cross the line to homophobia and heterosexism.
I will be boycotting the show because for the 3rd year in a row Nigel Lythgow has made more inappropriate homophobic remarks.
everyone who hates mia michaels raise their hand … i no longer care if she has talent, she is such an awful human i wish they’d get rid of her. so self involved she doesn’t care if she ruins someone’s career or not. biatch from hell.
Does anyone know what the song Natilie and Brandon danced to when Sonya the choreographer got them to show how good at it they were befor the top 20 were selected.??
