Urk, no time!

kateThings I want to talk about but only have time for summaries:
1. The Voice: Pretty much the only person I didn't pick was Casey (I wanted Jeff) and now she's gone, so I'm looking forward to the next ep immensely!
2. SYTYCD: Just downloaded the results show, just got done watching the dancing. I didn't like Melanie and Marko's dance (some of the choreography was too slow) but they were my favorites. I didn't like Ryan's sexy dance - her big grin was the exact opposite of sexy and I kept getting pulled out of it. Also I absolutely LOATHE the song Addicted to Love. Sasha and Alexander's hiphop was amazing (apparently NappyTabs work best with a military backdrop theme?). Sasha and Melanie are my two faves in this whole competition. I also like Jess and Ashley (I LOVE ASHLEY'S LISP!). I did like the Stacey Tookey routine with the chairs and the Viennese waltz (even though Jordan drives me NUTS), so I'm interested to see who got voted in the bottom three and who they're sending home.
3. I has fresh brownies.
4. It's late. I should be in bed.
5. HOLY CRAP GUYS. Out of the blue, the orchestra manager quit. She was a sweet old lady that adored me! And then she up and left! With almost no warning! That was hard, but you know, it happens.
6. The NEW orchestra manager - she's got a doctorate in CLARINET PERFORMANCE and an emphasis in arts management, and she's worked as an arts manager with the National Symphony Orchestra. To which part of me goes: *gulp* and part of me goes: WTF are you doing in a part time job with this shitty little orchestra? I dunno, I dunno. I hope it works out for the best because I cannot stand one more political bullshit thing with this orchestra, I swear.

For easy organization later:
no subject
on 6/25/11 04:00 pm (UTC)I thought they made the right choice with the boys, but it was much tougher - I liked both Wadi and Nick, and I would've like to keep the field to fewer contemporary dancers.
I love Sasha and Melanie to death too (and Ashley - her little lisp!), and while I think Nigel's right about the women being beasts this year, there are a couple that rub me the wrong way (Clarice is one of them (even though I think her performances have been really good), Jordan another). The guys as a field, they are less standout to me, though I have a lot of love for Marko and Robert charms me, weirdly (I keep waiting to find him annoying, but it hasn't happened yet). I also really enjoy Jess - he has bad feet (eep, that contemporary!) but I love his broadway performances. I don't mind that he's more of a performer than a dancer - Benji was like that in season two, and I loved him too (even though I wish Travis had won).
I am on the fence about the gender segregation (and I actually had to go pull the word 'girls' out of that comment up there twice, because in my mind, they're girls and boys, not men and women because they're so young (except Iveta - I can't call her anything but a woman), but I know that the show calls them girls and guys, which is stupid). Parts of me wish that we could just get rid of the two weakest dancers from the bottom six, be they both men or women, but then we end up with last season - systematically voting off the women one by one until only one is left. There's a bias against women in general, and it's disheartening to see so obviously as we did last season (though I was thrilled to see Lauren win it all, even as much as I loved Kent - she deserved it, for sure).
