So You Think You Can Dance is back into full swing for Season 6. I won't be vlogging this season (too much going on at once) but will hopefully be able to provide the performance info each week... and maybe a little commentary, too.
A few thoughs: I love the season's new opening credits. I actually like the new set. I think there's so much they can do with the lights and the video screen. I'm sad that Billy Bell had to quit due to "illness". I think the microphones on the tappers' shoes are extremely annoying and almost put them at a disadvantage.
