So You Think You Can Dance Top 6
I am shocked. Will's Samba this week completely blew me away, as did his slow Hip Hop. As did his solo. He hasn't done a thing this season that hasn't been excellent.

This show outdoes itself each week. I was in a blissful state of shock Wednesday to see the breathtaking Desmond Richardson helping to choreograph.

Wow, what a week -- I agree with Nigel: "brilliant job."

I thought this was Courtney and Gev's best week so far. I'm kind of glad they were in the bottom three, because otherwise we would not have been able to see that wicked Hip Hop routine!

The first time I heard Fleet Foxes, I thought I liked them because I listened to the album on vinyl. But when I heard them live, I realized that their warmth and honestly came from the bandmembers themselves.

As Angelina Jolie bravely brings twins into this world, she has my good wishes and encouragement, since raising twins, as any parent of multiples knows, is something completely different from raising siblings one at a time.

It may be easier to fly to Milan, London, or Tokyo and strut along a catwalk than it is to sit on your own, with your family many miles away, and ponder whether what you are doing to earn a living is making you happy.

Was it just me or did Nigel seem to be much nicer this week? I think he must have got a lot of criticism. Maybe he's more sensitive than his American Idol counterpart.

One of Obama's most ardent supporters is Conor Oberst, the singer/songwriter best known for his band, Bright Eyes.

Paula: I am a single, white, uneducated woman who voted wrong statistically and, according to the pie chart, should not have been bright enough to have used the pokey thing in the voting booth.

I'm still in shock that Marquis has been eliminated. He was one of the best dancers on the show and as much as I like Chris's personality, I'm dumbfounded that the judges kept him.

I'm glad they plan to showcase a person of renown in the dance world each week. That gives it a bit of that "variety show" feel I was longing for.
Tonya Plank | Posted 06.06.2008 | Entertainment
It's too bad that there can't be a dance show that celebrates the diversity of dance rather than requiring everyone to do well in a range of styles, which tends to produce conformity rather than originality and creativity.

I said at the beginning of the season that Kristi Yamaguchi was the best contestant ever to be on the Dancing With the Stars, and last night she rightly won.

So, with sweet, hard-working, newly ballroom-obsessed Jason, never-give-up cutie Cristian, and dazzlingly spectacular Kristi, next week's finale should be a blast!

Did you groan when David Letterman told Monica jokes? Do you Tivo The Daily Show ? If your answer is yes, then Strange Bedfellows: How Late Night Comedy Turns Democracy into a Joke may be the book for you.

I would have liked to hear Marlee's perspective on her difficulties. We heard the judges say everything looked "forced," but Mambo is impossible without being able to hear the music.

Jason Castro didn't know "Memory" was sung on stage by a cat. I guess the fact that it was from the musical Cats wasn't enough of a clue for him. What a complete moron.

There I was in the back row of the St. Jame Theater last Saturday night witnessing Patti LuPone sink her teeth into the role of Mama Rose in Gypsy and tear the place apart.

When legendary film actor and NRA spokesman Charlton Heston died this weekend, the AP said he was 84 — and the NYT said he was 83. Who was right?

The most unhelpful and belittling thing a dance student can hear is that they are "boring" and "better than that," without specifying what "that" is.
