Belieb It: Justin Bieber to Guest on "SYTYCD"

Justin Bieber is coming to “So You Think You Can Dance” this season—and we’re not just talking about a one-off musical performance.
The Biebs, who according to Nigel Lythgoe has been a huge fan of the show for a while, will be introducing a new “SYTYCD” component involving dance crews. During the first four episodes of Season 11, when the main competition is in the audition stage, there’ll be a sort of mini “America’s Best Dance Crew” showdown, with two crews facing off. Audiences will vote for their favorite crew via Twitter. And Bieber? He’ll be on crews control (see what we did there?), presenting the whole shebang.
It’s definitely nice that “SYTYCD” is shining this kind of spotlight on dance crews. They’re incredible, and have been sadly absent from our television lineup since the demise of “ABDC” (RIP). Never realized Bieber was quite so into “SYT,” but…OK then!
“SYTYCD” premieres May 28, which oh my gosh is next week, you guys. Be sure to check in here after each episode for our recaps!
