Haha! Loved that. And good defensive block. "I don't want anyone raining on my parade ..." Do you have it at 7:00 or are you waiting until 10:00? For background for anyone else, whether it airs at 7:00 PST or 10:00 PST on the West Coast totally depends on our cable providers. DirecTV and Dish Network air the East Coast times for cable stations (something I loved when I had DirecTV), many independent cable companies do as well. I have AT&T Uverse, and it airs all cable stations on West Coast time, so therefore, I won't be able to watch it on TV until 10 p.m. I'm will be watching the stream though. It doesn't come on until 10:00 on Time Warner, so I think I will watch live stream at 7:00 by myself and then watch it on my TV with the family at 10:00. Good thinking!! You can squail and flee flail and squee with us on Twitter and here and then calmly watch it with family at 10.  |

This looks and sounds remarkably similar to the dialogue we read/hear all the time about the inferiority of American Idol singers....so is this just sour grapes or legitimate criticism?? Do dancers share the same 'stigma' as Idols do?? Rather looks like they do....interesting... As far as this article goes, it would seem so. Maybe only when someone superb like AFL breaks through does the stigma become more elastic. Don't know if there's a parallel in the dance world. |

I finally got back here! I was buying some vinyl LP covers at an antique mall today and as I was checking out the guy behind the counter (man about 25yrs. old) said, Oh! Good choices! (I had found Bowie, Little Richard, Tina Turner, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Madonna covers). I then started talking about how I was looking for a Queen cover and I turned the conversation into talking about Adam. I let him know about the GNT Concerts and that Adam was working on a second album. I gave him the names of some of the artist he would be collaborating with and that Adam would be writing the material. He said he thought Adam was very talented and he was looking forward to hearing it with hopefully less fluff this time. I thought WTF? Fluff? People were lining up behind me (lol) so I had to stop the conversation. But...but..I had so much more I wanted to say!! I could talk about AFL all day! 8-) |

Question. Are these live streams on East or West Coast time? And what time would that be? 10PM Eastern? East Coast. There would be no real point in streaming a show that had been on three hours ago. The YouTubes would have been up for two. This is FIRST VIEW. It is 7:00 p.m. our time (PST) 10:00 EST |

Maybe only when someone superb like AFL breaks through does the stigma become more elastic. Don't know if there's a parallel in the dance world. I think what the article is also saying, and I agree that this can apply to idol as well, as that the artificial world of SYTYCD which includes choreography, technique, judging criteria, display of emotion etc. is different from the values, techniques, necessary skills, and choreography staples of the professional dance world. Although the show like idol was originally intended to launch someone into the process of auditions for real dance gigs, now the rewards are less valued in the industry, and alum have more likelihood of being successful if they get involved in the show again, then they would in the professional dance world. (creating a circular self-reinforcing pattern). IMO it's the creation of a bubble over time because of a widening gap between what makes good television, and what makes a great artist. The stigma results because professionals recognize that what the bubble rewards is not what the real world they work in rewards, and therefore they think the "winners" don't necessarily have all the necessary real world skills to succeed (they may have raw talent, that's different). I wonder if Project Runway is kind of an exception to this. Maybe regular watchers can tell me, but do winners actually enter their industry fairly successfully? ETA: it also begs the question of why do certain genres like country music seem to escape this? Is it just that the idol bubble criteria and the buying public's criteria align more closely for this genre than for rock or pop for example? |

Well, I've never watched before but Christian Siriano did. |

Son story#2 So my son played a show last night in DC that went really well. As is my nosy mom habit, I was reading tweets mentioning the show, and watching twtpics and vids people at the show were tweeting of them and getting a kick out of it, so I called my husband over to take a look. He does not use twitter. One guy was writing about how CLASSIX was one of his favorite electro dance groups, so my husband opened that guy's profile and was joking around about checking out who my son's fans are. So, a few hours later, I am tweeting the Adam BTM thing, and apparently twitter had stored his name from something he did, so this random electo loving DC guy gets my tweet along with whoever I had intended to tweet. He just replied to me asking me why I had sent him that tweet. Hmmmm...to respond, not to respond.....LOL? *It makes me laugh imagining my invite on his feed.  |
