On So You Think You Can Dance last night, Season 4's Mark Kanemura choreographed a (clearly influenced) jazz number to 2NE1's I Am The Best!

lmao that wasn't even just a little bit influenced. You could clearly see the original choreo shine through.
Other than that, not sure what to think. Not a big fan of this dance style or type of choreo anyway.

gah i was thinking about posting this here but i was so pissed jenna went home after this preformace because shes amazing and american doesnt know what they are missing :( Also i miss mark i wish he would leave the hot mess that is gaga and become a full fledged choreographer for the show

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

TBH, they always choose the worst dancers as the winners. The ones that are worthy never really make it. XP

i really hope jasmine or aaron wins this year i love the so much ;0; i havent been this invested in a dance partnership on the show since katie and joshua

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

she went home??? but the judges even gave her a standing ovation, what :(

[shineebambi.livejournal.com]

ya she and another girl were in the bottom two and nigel has a boner for the other girl in the bottom and poor jenna was constantly in the bottom which i will never understand cause she is a killer dancer but ya :(

I've only seen the original MV once and even I can see the similarities between both choreos.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

They even got the ugly outfit


I see you using some Dali inspiration too

lol i only pieced together the couch + eyes after seeing this comment, duhh

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

that mix was awful. the song cut at all the wrong parts.

but i'm happy to think about that song possibly spreading to new people, tho ^^

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I can see 2ne1's dance in here xDDDDD

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Oh shit is Cat Deeley still alive.

[shineebambi.livejournal.com]

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

but the song cuts were a MESS

+1

This was super neat to see, I always get irrationally happy over Kpop on North American shows.

P.S. Nice first post bb! <3

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Haven't watched this show in ages because of their biased judges who only make their faves the winners. XP

Having said that, I'm happy that Kpop is being featured like this.

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

man the song cut is awful but i like the dance

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

this makes me appreciate just how good the IATB choreo is...

[fairchilds.livejournal.com]

idk why they stood up and clapped. like it was decent but far from the really tip top performances of the show...

the song cuts were a mess... and the choreography wasn't even that complex?? I LOVE Mark but seriously??

[achan123.livejournal.com]

it would have been soo cool if at the end she would have lifted that tongue, and placed it onto here nether-yaya :P hehe!

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

Oh you!!! lol

[achan123.livejournal.com]

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

I wonder how many bruises her hair flinging caused in practice...

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

omg they butchered the song with those cuts

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

omg is that dharma from dharma & greg? is she a dancer or smth?

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

That guy was super fierce in the Alejandro vid. My eyes go to him everytime I watch it.

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

he was fierce during the btw ball too - probably my fav dancer of gag's

[glacierkn.livejournal.com]

We have to remember that SYTYCD also featured the Wonder Girls and introduced them through mainstream tv. It's cool that they've brought another kpop song.

Although, funny, my mom who is Korean didn't even realize it was a Korean song LOL.

[kwaiirosesilent.livejournal.com]

I'm just happy about Mark! guh, he was my favorite when he competed.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

ehh i love mark but this was pretty underwhelming

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

your icon is perfect lol

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

for a split second I was expecting fan chants when the song started playing lol

the dance performance was meh imo

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

ok good, I'm not the only one. Everyone here was praising it, I was starting to wonder if I had watched the same performance.

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

i don't watch the show so i wasn't sure if the other dances are similar. I like that they used kpop but i didn't like the performance that much.

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

IA about the dance, i thought i was the only one

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

I saw this yesterday and was thinking some of the choreo was good while some parts were meh.

The last time I really watched SYTYCD US was seasons 3-5. I did watch the season Mark was on, but I feel like this could've been better from him.

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

Aw, this was cool to see. The dancing itself was meh, but it sucks that Jenna had to go home, she was the one I was watching the entire performance.

This makes me want to go rewatch old seasons, lol. Any season 2 fans around?

[21banged.livejournal.com]

Both the choreo and the way the cut the song were terrible imo, they could have done so much more :\

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

I love SYTYCD, but lately i haven't been able to watch it (online) since no one is uploading the current season lol

But i'll have to be honest and say i didn't really like the dance. It was good in some parts but then the rest was just a forgettable blur to me. Song cuts were terrible too :/

Is fik-shun still on the show??

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

I've been watching this video over and over and over again and i stil havent moved on omg the love they just gave for the dance omg i felt like they're loving 2NE1 too (altho it's prolly just the song)

And seriously I reaaaallly liked how Mark used some of the original dance steps. Mark's a hidden Blackjack tbqh
