So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 in Salt Lake City and Dallas

It is week 2 of So You Think You Can Dance Season 4. I don't know about you, but I wish they would hurry up with the auditions! I think prior to So You Think You Can Dance 2008, we had an appetite to watch the bad dancers because we couldn't believe anyone could be so bad. But come on already! It's So You Think You Can Dance Season 4! Along with American Idol, we've had enough of the same attention whores who go through the rounds of reality tv auditions! This week's rejects weren't even that funny.

In any case, I just wanted to highlight who got a golden ticket for the second week of auditions for So You Think You can Dance 2008. Their names are:

Chelsie Hightower is a pretty face with a lot of talent! Great backstory as well coming from a family who didn't have much and her brother coming through with the monthly dance tuition. The public will eat it and I can see her going far. Hopefully she lives up to the expectation of a humble girl next door and not turn diva.

Like a lot of dancers, especially in the break dancing style, they don't make it beyond the choreography round. Gev Manoukian had tried out 2 years ago, but choreagraphy was his stumbling block. It's good that he went to actual dance classes to become more versatile and came back for So You Think You Can Dance 2008. He's a very unique trained breakdancer now.

Lindsey Judkins performed well in her audition. Good enough to get a ticket straight through to Las Vegas but no wow factor so far. Still, they chose to show case her in the episode so maybe she's a dark horse.

Kelli Baker has a lot to live up to seeing as her mother is Bonnie Story, a famous choreographer for High School Musical. That's a lot of weight to live up to so I'm glad she didn't suck. Really, one of the best dancers in So You Think You Can Dance Season 4.

And if we want to talk about someone who has an interesting back story, it certainly would be Ryann Race. The dude is a strip club DJ. I'm sure a lot of guys would consider that a dream job. And apparently, the guy can dance! The best way to describe his moves would be Reed Richards: Mr. Fantastic.

If So You Think You Can Dance was auditioning for boy bands and girl bands, look no further than the perfect model white teeth and good looks of Matt Dorame and Thayne Jasperson! Okay, that wasn't quite fair as these guys do have talent, but Barbie twins Kortney Pearson and Michelle Stringham probably won't get out of Vegas.

Oh, and add Paige Jones into that Barbie doll category. Cannon fodder.

Joshua Allen is a good popper. Unforutnately, we've seen it before and probably done better in previous years. We need something new for So You Think You Can Dance Season 4.

Arielle Coker was a beautiful dancer, too bad her partner didn't make it through. I thought his partner work deserved enough to get him through compared to the other male dancers who got through.

That's it for So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 auditions in Salt Lake City and Dallas. To be totally honest, I thought it was a boring week. Only show stopper I see are Chelsie Hightower and Kelli Baker. I look forward to seeing them for the rest of So You Think You Can Dance 2008.
