We almost don’t dare to say it, but after last night’s final, final, final Season 16 audition round, it appears to be true: Next week, IT’S TIME FOR THE LIVE SHOWS! We’re getting ahead of ourselves, though. First, we (as in Nigel, Mary, Dominic, and Laurieann) had to whittle down the top guys. Remember last […]
Well, unless Nigel Lythgoe (sir!) has something wild and crazy up his sleeves—which he very well may after 16 seasons—it is finally, at very long last, after half a summer and so much patience, almost time to meet the “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 16 Top 10.

Last night, “So You Think You Can Dance” gave us The Academy, Part II—which concluded with the judges choosing their Top 10 guys and Top 10 girls.

It’s usually right around the third or fourth week of “So You Think You Can Dance” audition rounds that we start itching for the live shows. Sure, the auditions are fun, inspiring, and entertaining, but at a certain point, we reach audition saturation. (And the live shows are just so good and feature so much […]
