MGK, I was hoping you’d be chiming in on SYTYCD Australia. For my part, I’d love to see some episodic reviews — even if you can’t do every episode. Though it’s true that a lot of your audience won’t have easy access to the show, there’s no better way to fix that than to show them what they’re missing.

There is at least one brave soul putting up this season on Youtube. I would like it if you reviewed the season because your commentary almost always improves my understanding and appreciation for the routines.

I will be doing my best to view the season from the U.S, even if I have to trawl the idolforums for links, and I’d love to see your reviews.

I’ve been following your SYTYCD posts for a while with great appreciation for the insight and the wow/wtf? commentary. I’ll understand if you don’t feel like you can do all the Australia eps, but I will be watching them, and I would love to get your perspective, especially since there aren’t that many talking about it due to lack of access.

I appreciate the blogging on AUSYTYCD as well. Channel Ten (the local broadcaster) is hosting full episodes on their website this year – I don’t know whether they’re region-limited though, perhaps a North American fan can check the website?

That was performed on the same night as that group top 10 guys routine. Both the biggest highlights of the night imo.

The contemporary with Robbie and Issi was a standout for me, as well as the hip hop – that crazy ass double lift actually made me say “WHAT” at my computer screen. And the ballroom routine was pretty great too. Jason Gilkinson <3

Just for the sake of knowing, Nigel said at some point that the performance episode was the idea of one of the producers from Australia, so it’s an Australian concept even if it was executed by the Americans first.

In the second Aussie season there was a no-vote performance episode, but it happened on Easter in between the top 6 and top 4 performance episodes. He might have been referring to that.

MGK, I’m curious, as Canada’s preeminent blogger on SYTYCD and law, if you felt that the .ca version lacked personality/star quality/what have you, over which I think that the .co.uk version has a leg up, since they’ve got a more built-up reality tv audience who have learned how to play to the cameras and project themselves? Or am I totally off in this characterization?

He couldn’t have been as he said something along the lines of 1) showing everyone in their own style and 2) doing it at the start. In the easter special, they didn’t perform exclusively in their own styles and it was a placeholder for a national holiday not a preamble to the season.

I am a huge fan of your SYTCDA commentary (whether timely or not); reading your commentary is 80% of my enjoyment of the show. I’m interested in what you have to say about the strong hip-hop/bboy representation in this top 20 in particular.
