Demi Lovato must be in la la land now that she and Britney Spears have joined the X Factor circus as judges for next season. The new stars will join music industry veterans L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell on the panel for the show’s second season, but are they shaping up to be the hottest crew to give their critiques on TV? Simon seems smitten with the pair of pop princesses, tweeting: “Can’t believe it’s finally happened. Very exciting! @thexfactorusa #xfactor #SimonBritneyDemiLa.”

Will Howard Stern give Simon a run for his money on FCC-friendly insults when he starts judging America’s Got Talent? And will Britney edge out Jennifer Lopez with saccharin-sweet compliments, or will her wild side get the best of her? Take our poll and let us know who’s the fairest judging panel of them all!

Producer Nigel Lythgoe dropped a bomb on So You Think You Can Dance fans in this New Year by announcing last night via Twitter that Fox has cancelled the dance competition’s results show.

“#FOX have [sic] cancelled the results show so I will have to change the format of #SYTYCD. At least we have another season at the end of MAY,” he said via Twitter, adding later, “I’m certainly not mad at FOX they have supported #SYTYCD FOR 9 seasons. With the help of [Fox president of alternative entertainment] Mike Darnell I think we have some great new ideas.”

Mary Murphy on 'SYTYCD': An uneven finale, a fabulous season

Nigel not happy with the finale, drops jaws of all the judges!

Yes, last night was a roller coaster ride with some great highlights and perhaps the lowest low I’ve seen on the show in a long time. What initially put some of us into a finale funk was the disco that started the show. It felt flat, labored, and even though it was danced by two of the most solid performers, Marko and Melanie, they were not able to connect to the style. My heart slightly dropped for both of them.

Fortunately, Sonya Tayeh’s jazz piece starring Sasha and Mark Kanemura brought us straight back up. This piece had all the dynamics and passion that we have come to know in our finales. READ FULL STORY »

'So You Think You Can Dance': America's Favorite Dancer is...

It was a fitting performance finale, no? There were a couple of high points — Tadd’s boxers, Marko and Lauren, Cat scoring Melanie a job (albeit on the much-maligned remake of Dirty Dancing), Melanie and Sasha’s Stacey Tookey routine, Mark and Sasha Sonya Tayeh piece, Sasha’s solo… are we noticing a trend here? But the night was mostly marked by a “Where did that come from?” sense of struggle from all four finalists. Were you underwhelmed, Dance fans? Or do you think the final four pulled it off? Who do you think should win? Who do you think will win? (And might that be the same person?) Share your thoughts during the live, two-hour finale, and we’ll give you tonight’s results as soon as the show closes! Update: The results have been announced! And America’s Favorite Dancer is… READ FULL STORY »

Has anyone EVER liked a disco routine on 'SYTYCD'?

Melanie and Marko’s stilted disco routine on last night’s So You Think You Can Dance performance finale really bummed me out. “Oh nooooooooo. DISCO,” I shuddered. I’d forgotten all about it. Must disco still exist? For contestants looking to gain last-minute momentum, the disco seems as death-kissy as the dreaded foxtrot or, God forbid, a Russian nesting doll dance or whatever. “Has anyone EVER liked a disco routine on #SYTYCD? Die die die!” I tweeted feverishly, for I had just scraped up the last of my spicy gouda party spread directly from a small stone plate with my teeth.

Thanks to some of my loyal Twitter pals for reminding me of former disco fabulousness and proving me wrong! READ FULL STORY »

Seriously? That’s it? It’s over? This is my last SYTYCD blog for EW.com? I feel like I blinked and missed half of it. (I was probably on a plane.)

All kidding aside, before we dive into our discussion of last night’s performances, I hope you’ll indulge me while I say thank you for coming along for this wild ride, for sharing your thoughts and letting me share mine, and for all the nice notes and comments and questions you’ve sent. You made me feel very welcome, and this whole thing has been a blast for me!

Gosh, I hope you’ve enjoyed it, too.

If you’d like to keep in touch, or keep up with what I’m up to, my Facebook page is a good place to start,  or the page for my album, Ballroom Remixed (which has RE-remixes coming out next month), or if you’re in New York or passing through, you can always book a lesson at the studio. And if you REALLY find you miss me tomorrow and need a fix — yeah, yeah, I know you’re probably sick of me by now! — I can’t recommend highly enough that you check out Alan Mercer’s blog: His pictures of me are so good, I can’t believe they actually ARE me. (He also has the scoop on the new movie I’m working on. Hint: Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison are in it.)

Now then, about last night… READ FULL STORY »

It’s all come down to this: Marko, Sasha, Tadd, and Melanie face off for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer; match up with All Stars Joshua, Mark, Lauren, and Robert; and take in the appraisals of Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, guest choreographer judge (and future Dirty Dancing remake director) Kenny Ortega, and celebrity guest celebrity judge Katie Holmes. Will Melanie’s peerless technique outshine Sasha’s feisty panache? Can Marko pull off a Lauren-Froderman-sneak-attack victory? And which fabulously off-beat song will Tadd use in his solo? Talk about it all here, and then come back tomorrow morning for my full recap! (UPDATE: Click here to read Adam’s full SYTYCD top 4 performance finale recap!)

The finale is here !!!! Wooohooooooooo!!!!

Talk about a season going FAST! I feel like the auditions were just yesterday. We have had so much fun watching all the talent. And fun at the judges’ table as well.

Speaking of judges, guest judge Christina Applegate was funny and so easy to get along with. I asked her what her favorite number of the night was, and she answered, hands down, it was Tyce Diorio’s contemporary starring Sasha with all-star Kent Boyd. This number had to hit home for so many of us, myself included. Most of us have a story from a time in our life where we have been put down or have had tremendous struggles. I can’t tell you how many times I have been knocked down and told I would not go anywhere in my life and that I’d be homeless if I ever left. READ FULL STORY »

'So You Think You Can Dance': And the finalists are...

This has been a really surprising and refreshing season. Too bad I’m talking about the guest judges rather than the dancers. Last night, Christina Applegate offered up a nice mix of compliments, criticism, and technical know-how. As it were, her diligent research and thoughtful comments were pretty lost on a boring, unremarkable night. Other than Melanie’s solo and Sasha’s contemporary with Kent, the stand-outs were few and few between. Was this the lamest Top 6 ever? Or were you pleased with how the dancers performed? Do you think last night’s snoozefest will be redeemed tonight with some unexpected D4YL performances? Or do you think it’s pretty set in stone who’s going to sail throughout to the finale? Share your thoughts while the show airs, and we’ll be back with the results as soon as they’re delivered. UPDATE: The results are in! Click through to see who made it to the finale.
