So You Think You Can Dance Review: Not Enough Turns For Me…I Mean Pirouettes

, And I wasn’t expecting anything less with the zany Lady Gaga blessing the judges’ panel with her presence. Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi even had to run to the studio and witness it live. Honestly, I loved Lady Gaga ’s initial debut into superstardom but have waned interest in her as her fan base continues to grow and grow. The dancers are the shining sun at the center of the show, and the potential of Gaga was this black hole pulling the focus away from them into the abyss.

Predictably, bad feelings crept up when Nigel and Cat mentioned she’d be a guest. I’ve never seen anything having to do with Gaga that didn’t circle completely around her. She’s like a car crash. You just have to watch. Shockingly, she came off as comfortable in sharing her own opinions, whether I agreed or not, and though not very succinctly, she kept me entertained and interacted with the judges and contestants well. Still, she was, by far, the most self-indulgent judge, basking in the audience’s revelry and talking a lot about the choreographic styles and choice that “weren’t for [her].”  Rob Marshall joined Gaga, Nigel and Mary on the panel, with a little bit more expertise to back up his personal views. I guess Gaga was there to pull in the eyes, and Rob Marshall was there to balance out the credibility, a smart move. Fortunately for this inspiring show, the dancers do that every week, and the Top 8 proceeded to expand their dance versatility.

Quickstep | Jonathan Roberts | “Puttin’ On The Ritz” by Terry Snyde

Ballroom is Sasha’s kryptonite. I, who knows nothing, felt uncomfortable, even with the effervescent Pasha filling up the stage alongside her. She appeared leaden on every lift, and her legs looked like they wanted to push out and plié when they should be close together most of the time. Rob and I agreed when he said that the style just doesn’t allow her to do what she does best, which is dance with abandon, but Mary extoled her stage presence and topline but told her to work on those knees.

7. RICKY and Anya Garnis (Season 3) bored. He soared over Anya in a really cool flip/lift but struggled on what appeared to be a very hard lift, proving Anya physically stronger than Ricky. Yet, strength has never been his forte. He’s graceful and can leap like a gazelle.

A psychologically intriguing Western that has much in common with the genre’s Hollywood renaissance in the 1950s, stars Burt Reynolds as Jay Grobart, an outlaw who kidnaps the aristocratic Catherine Crocker (Sarah Miles) after she witnesses his gang pull a train robbery. Forced to travel with the desperadoes, Mrs. Crocker is repeatedly subjected to threats of sexual violence by two of the men (Jack Warden, Bo Hopkins), but is protected by the otherwise seemingly dispassionate Grobart. Meanwhile, the hostage’s insufferable husband (George Hamilton) hires a bounty hunter (Lee J. Cobb) to track Grobart down, which proves relatively easy since the fugitive, who becomes the lonely Mrs. Crocker’s lover, is headed into dangerous Indian territory for reasons that are as heartbreaking as they are illuminating.
