The wait is over.

Dance lovers all across the globe are all set to get another chance of reveling in the excitement of pure entertainment, with audition commencing by the first week of January.

That’s right folks; your beloved reality dance competition has plunged into talent hunt spree from January 5, 2012.

Auditions will take place across five cities of America. First on the list is Atlanta, which is followed by Dallas, New York City, Salt Lake City and finally Los Angles.

And I am sure; many of you must have already planned to give it try at auditions in one of the cities, to showcase the dancer in you.

But that ain’t going to easy because once you get the ticket for Las Vegas, the real journey begins. Every week, some nasty performers will eliminate the average ones to make it to the top group.

After the top group gets all the dancers, viewers will decide who are going to make into the next level and who will pack their bags.

Anyway, ‘performance for votes’ comes after several episodes. And I really feel that the best moments of the series are its auditions.

Not that you get to see judges hitting the bull’s eye with some great finds, but sometimes the weirdo acts of die-hard dance fanatics bring for us bag full humorous instances.

Watch the five major auditions of So You Think You Can Dance across five cities to find out how many of the local talents from each pocket vouch for a good run. Further details on audition venue will be available online.

So if you don’t want to enjoy the start to the season nine as a viewer, then you can always give it a try.

I would have tried for any of the auditions. But alas, my performance would always compel Nigel and Co. to throw shoes at me!

Well, don’t get de-motivated!

Because, if you have it in you, then you must go for it, to have the tag of SYTYCD!

Otherwise, wait for the season to hit screens.

What the heck?

Nigel can’t abuse people like that and especially those battling for their sexual freedom.

Well, calm down folks!

Nigel hasn’t actually abused the gay contestants participating in the reality show, but he has been alleged of directing many of them to not reveal their gay or lesbian identity on stage.

If that’s true, it’s a serious violation of the interest of people, in general.

All these new claims about the kind of person Nigel is, were made by Adam Levine, ‘The Voice’ judge.

It looks like a heated banter has been on between the judges of the two reality shows. And if Nigel is on the defensive, his serious critic is in no mood of calling it quits either.

Yeah, Nigel is trying to play safe, by claiming that he has never forced the contestants to hide their sexual orientation. In fact, he went on to say that there arises no need for the discrimination of participants, on the basis of being a gay or not.

Even though Nigel re-iterated the fact, that he hardly asks the contestants the silly question, I am just wondering, how can there be smoke, without a fire, right?

Undoubtedly, the innumerable followers of his show, who love to download the poetry in motion called So You Think You Can Dance, would take the issue of literally abusing the LGBTs, much more seriously.

And I feel it could have taken an ugly turn, had there been no counter statement of clarification by him, especially after Adam had spouted venom all over him.

As a long term supporter of this choreographer-turned-reality show creator, I really admire what Nigel has done all these years.

I just hope that he meant it, when he said that all these things don’t matter to him.

I really don’t want him getting into any new troubles!

With couples being targeted week after week in the ongoing season of So You Think You Can Dance, (the last couple to bear the brunt was Ashley Rich and Chris Koehl), the only thing that’s brothering the fans of the reality show is whether or not it indicates a trend.

Well during an interview, one of the judges, Nigel Lythgoe came up with an explanation for pairs coming under the axe.

According to him, the only reason that’s hampering the couples is the lack of chemistry between them. Yeah, Nigel meant that Ashley and Chris were weak in their synchronization aspect of their performances. I find it to be a good piece of advice for those couples who don’t want to reach the bottom three. Nigel has been attached to this smash hit reality dance competition almost since its inception, and I don’t think he could be questioned on any matter.

Having said that, It would be interesting to watch if any other couple is shown the exit door on So You Think You Can Dance. Or, let me put it in this way: which couples are going to take him seriously?

This season has been doing incredibly well in terms of popularity, something which I could easily gauge from the increasing number of online searches.

With allegations of judges being biased towards solo performers, I can assume that the season is en-route to raking in some good rating points.

Nigel Lythgoe has a point and that’s why he spoke his mind, and it is appreciable that he put forward the aesthetic aspect that had been missing from the performance of the pairs.

As of now, all eyes would be on the contestants, as performances of the pairs would be dealt with strictly. Buckle up, guys…burn the dance floor and turn the heat on the judges!
