My New Favorite SYTYCD Choreographer



Stacey Tookey.

Mia Michaels who?

I kid, I kid. No one can replace Mia. However, Stacey's pieces have all been home runs so far in my book (Falling Slowly, the Mistress Piece, Fear, and whatever yesterday's piece can/should be called). That and she doesn't seem to have the overinflated ego/artist mentality/bitchy edge to her that many of her caliber (or below her caliber, ahem, Laurieann Gibson, I'm looking in your direction) seem to carry.

Don't change, Stacey. Please don't change.

So You Think You Can Dance: The Start of Season 6



Ok, is it just me?

I f&*#ing hate this bitch.

It's Laurie Ann Gibson from SYTYCD (well, apparently - she just randomly showed up one week last season). She made last season's winner (who I was never impressed with, but winner nonetheless) cry. Anyhow.

So You Think You Can Dance already has a bitch - Mia Michaels. However, the fundamental difference between the two - Mia Michaels is fucking amazing. She's Mia Fucking Michaels - emmy award nominee/winner. She has at least 2 of the best 5 dances each season to her name. She choreographs like none other. She's like pizza - even when she's bad she's good.

Laurie Ann, however, is NOT. She's not bad. But she's yet to impress me. She's yet to do anything choreographically outstanding. She's no Mia Michaels. To my knowledge, I've seen two routines of hers - and they both seemed like standard jazz fare. Fine. Good. Nothing more.

Anyhow. I think her biggest problem is she thinks she's better than she actually is. She carries Mia Michaels' attitude. Perhaps even moreso than Mia. She's marching around there being like "I'm Laurie Ann Gibson, so move the f' over and bow down'. Yet she's the weakest of all the SYTYCD choreographers. Including Tyce DiOrio and Brian Friedman. And Wade Robson during his fox routine.

Am I the only one who feels this way about her? Please let me know.
