OMG IT'S TONIGHT?! I loved last season esp. Pasha ...you think that Sex guy will be back? the guy that the judges told him not to come back? haha

[alainachen_604]

OMFG I CANT WAIT FOR TODAY!
it came earlier then I expected.. LOL
cant wait I hope there are some cute blonde guys like Travis
& someone like Allison <3

[LucasBunny]

Awesome!!

I guess Shane isnt judging this time around with dance crew and all
btw I prefer SYTYCD over ABC bigtime lol

[iron cupcake]

This is one show where I actually dig the auditions a lot. It's when the b-boys get to do their wild moves without being forced into doing waltzes and other dances not suited to their style. I really liked the b-girl last season...she made it farther than I expected.

[steph*funny]

I'm excited for this...I still remember Hok from last season (:

[miss sweetie]

OMG IT'S TONIGHT?! I loved last season esp. Pasha ...you think that Sex guy will be back? the guy that the judges told him not to come back? haha

haha he came back.

i love how he doesn't give up. =)

[sugarrrxxx]

oh, dominic has his eyes on that one girl.
i dont know why, but i want him and sabra to be together. probably because they were partners
for a long time last year but whatever.

i was very satisfied with that last popper guy. and that gypsy clever guy william? dude. because i do.
and twitch made it obviously. im so happy. cant wait until next week.

that was a good season premiere..

that gold inferno dude wasn't so great though.
or sex. so. umm...

wow i feel dumb because i'm writing this comment about this and no one is on here. whatever.

[ooo_it's_mE]

twitch was so good! you can really tell he learned from last season. I saw so much of Mia's moves when he was dancing.

anyways, I'm so glad this show is back on!!!!!!! oh, and seeing Travis again made my day. he's so hot and talented! I hope this is a really good season.

[dankyung]

this girl at my school is doing it. haha she made it past the live audition round so yeah. haha but i saw her at school yesterday so im not sure wth is going on with fliming and what not. XD her name is kerington peign. she won the small version of this show like a while ago. XD it's so weird cause i went to elementary school with her and i no idea how pretty she got haha

Is she the one that Dominic was ogling over? :] I really liked her smile! hehe
i thought the premiere was kinda bad because it showed too many "dancers" who were just plain weird like the underwear guy, the helmet guy, and SEX =_= instead of more dancers who made it to Vegas.
I loved seeing Dominic and Travis again! x] Travis is sooo amazing...

[shortboy]

Was it just me or did anyone recognize the song that Erika Gee danced to? She was the one that wore all black with a sweater and undies.

I didn't know the name of the song before until I listened to the lyrics closely but here it is.

So this is the song that the JabbaWockeez sampled their "Red Pill" song from for their encore perfomance on ABDC. Haha.

And I laughed when the judges said they've never seen anyone like Robert, the contortionist, but they've never seen David "Elsewhere," whom I consider one of the innovators for that kind of dancing. But still, that was pretty damn freakin' cool ahah.

yeah yeah~ that's her. she's been modeling since like elementary school and was dancing since then too. she also came out in a commercial and she's like filthy rich right now. haha. she really knows how to perform though, i've watched her a lot at school and sometimes our PE class would go in the gym to watch dance team so it's really awesome. haha

[Xcstasy]

I love watching this show, but
I happen to stop watching after
my favorite singer gets voted off like
when Pasha got voted off,
I stop watching lol.

But this was a good season premier
eventhough I wasn't really amazed...
but good.

I really want an asian woman to make it far lol...

OH OH OH I really like the um...two dance partners.
The european ones and the asian ones!
Wasn't it impressive when that asian girl
was really really sick, but
got up there and danced anyways?!?
She was so good.
You coudn't even tell she was sick!

[plumangel3]

ugh i cant believe that i missed the first episode and Travis yesterday! i love watching him dance

[FESHA]

I'm all glad Twitch returned and made it to Vegas.

Khirington Payne she's very pretty and lively dancer. crazy dominic all gawing at her along with travis behind him.
man that popper guy Robert Muraine whatever you spell his last name is totally sick(awesome) man! him and neigal are so crazy on the ticket part.

oh gosh man sex returned... just shoot me down...

what the heck that mask man returns he lost more weight than last seasons auditions.

[.moony.]

Khirington Payne
like they said she has a commercial face....i didnt enjoy her smile throughout her dance tho like...she kept smiling it was suppsoed to be a touchy sad song where the dance could've been emotional and she smiled thruout lols

i missed the ep...didnt know it was on yesterday =( the judges bugged me, they always eliminated my fav.

[paulinee]

Dude, it rocked. Guess who was back?


yep, SEX. I thought they banned him. Anyone see the real big guy who thought that he can shake, but reall shook an earthquake instead?

[msjang]

I want to watch this show SO BADLY!!!
Last season was really good, I loved Hok and Sabra.
But currently I am in Asia, so I can't watch it (((((
Does anyone know if it is shown in Asia, or where I could watch it online?

[swtamy83]

I am so excited for this show!! I see some fellow soompiers who commented a lot about this show from last year. Haha...

I really hope this is be a great season! I was watching SYTYCD recap its old winners and I remembered everyone's name but Sabra's. I think that Benji's season was a lot better than Sabra's season just because the contestants were more appealing.

Nevertheless, I am still in love with this show and hope it will be awesome.
