Enjoy the show!

Anybody else have a stupid commercial break right in the middle of the judges talking with that first dancer? Idiots!
She was amazing and I wanted to see what she had to say!

SO excited to have Twitch in as a judge, I love him. It was a good first night and I was so happy to see (but not surprised, as I follow her on twitter) Laganja Estranja!!!!

It's like its all gone back to how it was originally. Alexis is back, I really liked that girl. Aww that tapper when he danced with Twitch, come on!.. So many great dancers! Maddox was there with Alison, making noise. . Great start. World of dance is tomorrow night!

I ❤️ this show so much!!!
First girl was creative, but not my cup of tea. The Vegas b-boy was entertaining; loved the stall to his back. The triple ballroom was trashy IMHO, but Alan was phenomenal. The dancer from Alaska was heartwarming, and Lestranja was striking. Sure, she probably won’t make it through the Academy, but she’ll be a great addition to the show. What a presence Alexis has! Looking forward to seeing how she’s progressed. Eddie was enjoyable to me because his tapping had something to do with the music. So many times, tappers have great technique & choreography, but they might as well be dancing to no music at all.
Twitch & Eddie = why there should always be SYTYCD

Off to a good start. They threw in a few rejects to show the opposite of the marvels that went through. Loved the dance off between tWitch and the tapper. The tapper was so cute when he was overwhelmed, yet he gave as good as he got in the battle. So glad summer has started, if only for this show!

I love Mary, but too much work was evident on her face. The puffy lips and the cat-like up turned expression was just ugly. Love t'witch...so glad to see him.

I loved the way Eddie the tapper used his music; just beautiful. I always love the first episode, because for the last several years I get so convinced it's not coming back.

I am NOT happy they did away with the choreography round. That feels like another way to let street dancers in :down If you can't dance in many different styles, IMO, you don't deserve to win. That doesn't mean you aren't a good dancer, but the winner on this show should be versatile.
It felt like they let in several dancers who definitely would not have gotten to Hollywood in previous seasons. I'll be curious to see if there are more dancers in Hollywood this season.

They'll be weeded in Academy. "Yes, sir, I learn fast, I can learn to Viennese Waltz."

I was shrieking like a fangirl over Twitch. IMO one of the best dancers to come out of SYTYCD. Wish he could be on the panel permanently. I just discovered that he's on the Ellen show not too long ago. I don't normally watch her, but I may have to start.

I'm sure they will be weeded out at the Academy, but I have to wonder why even bother to bring them out to Hollywood if you know you're going to cut them? I mean, how many dancers who got sent to the choreography round ended up making it into the top 10 or 20 (depending on the season) in previous seasons? I thought there were a few good dancers in the first episode, but not as many as there should have been. Several who got through were just "meh." I hope things improve next week!

You're definitely right about that Critical. My guess is:
1) They just want cannon fodder they will be able to easily eliminate during the academy. They need some low hanging fruit to easily eject. These are your "meh" performers and they will be gone quickly.
2) More importantly, they've probably realized that to keep the show alive and keep viewers tuning in they need to keep street dancers. A lot of people, myself included, love to watch the street dancers. I've been to 4 of the live SYTYCD performances - here in FL - and I can testify that the contestants who are street dancers absolutely bring down the house. The audience goes crazy for them. So that's probably how it goes with audiences at home (meaning ratings) as well.
3) They want street dancers to make it to the top 10 (or top 13 as toured last year) so they will have several on the live tour driving ticket sales. IMO, Cyrus and Twitch have been the biggest live tour draws. Huge audience going CRAZY for them. Cyrus doing animation was honestly the most insanely cool live performance.
I find the tappers super annoying because you just KNOW as soon as you see the tap shoes they are automatically advancing. Nigel loooooooves him some tap. The contestants know by now that if they can audition with tap their chances of advancing are multiplied 20x. I'd be willing to bet most of the "tappers" actually specialize in a style other than tap.
I suspect TPTB on this show genuinely want to promote dance in general and represent all styles of dance. But they are doing what they need to do to keep the show alive...
