Now that the judges and - supposedly - voting America - got rid of a number of super talented, exciting dancers with effervescent personalities - all they have left - close to the season's finale are - supposedly - "versatile" dancers who could make a drastic switch in their respective styles.
A number of the remaining dancers - according to various voices expressed in social media forums - should have been eliminated - quite a while ago. Evidently the judges are afraid - of some public "backlash" - or something like that. Possibly - the "political correctness" takes its toll - on honest opinions - which - evidently - can't be - readily - expressed.
It's obvious that outside of a few truly accomplished, versatile dancers - which we will not be naming since they are obvious to all the discerning, steady viewers of this show - there also is a group which should not have passed through this high level of the eliminations - in another words - according to many opinions expressed in public media forums - there are quite a few dancers - who don't deserve to stay in that "elite" circle - at all. Hopefully they will - soon - be fairly - finally - eliminated - so the ones remaining - truly talented individuals - just like many of the ones who were let go before Monday Aug. 24 - unjustly - will stay to the end.
Watch tonight and let us know! Don't forget to put your proverbial "two cents" onto the SYTYCD - space on Facebook platform!
Our - collective - "two cents" for the week reads as follows; if the judges and America are aiming to elect "the most versatile dancer" at the end of the eliminations - notwithstanding any "star qualities" - all the various, numerous studio musicians - can make a living - but rarely - any of them can be a "star" which can give a viewer much different experiences - than just a versatile, adaptable - artist/highly trained professional.
Click here tomorrow for the Conclusion of the Aug. 24 - Episode 13 - Review!
Have a great night!

Mon.Aug.17 - 2015 - Episode 12 - So You Think You Can Dance which airs on Fox Network - Surprizes the viewers!
All the fans of SYTYCD who watched this Mon. Aug.17 - 2015 - segment - got a big dose of unexpected developments. Just as it first appeared - from the numerous viewers' posts on the show's website via Facebook - that the chance of the producers' taking some suggestions posted by the viewers - would equal to that of a proverbial "snowball" - not melting in hell - guess what? The Twitter vote - was suddenly eliminated since not only it didn't make any sense to the viewers on the West coast - but it was also "not accepted" by most of the fans of SYTYCD. We - of course - don't want to use a strong phrase like the "Twitter's five minutes 'save' window was widely unfair and despised by a lot of viewers who said so".
Back to Mon. Aug. 17 show - which opens with a group number by Sonya Tyeh - a star choreographer - who for the moment - appears to be lavishly praised by the judges - since she has had a number of successful choreos last week - unfortunately - this week - her opening piece - according to many viewers' posts on the Facebook's So You Think You Can Dance website - didn't impress a lot of viewers with any special sparkle or any big salvo of any kind! One viewer commented on the Youtube website that "as soon as they saw a bunch of half naked men run out onto the stage dressed in skirts - they knew it was Sonia Tyeh's choreo!"
As far as the judges are concerned this week - Cat Deely - the famous, long time M.C/host for this show - wore a lovely red dress - while last week - even a beautiful woman like her - looked "stingy" in that "rainbow" dress which appeared as if it was purchased from a back rack of a thrift shop from the 90's.
Paula Abdul - a glamorous looking and famous dancer/choreographer - this week - wore a magnificent creation accented by a huge, elegantly/lavish - necklace - Jennifer Lopez - style. All those exquisite fashion pieces would look great on her - if only her boobs were not constantly almost totally falling out of her dress.
Jason DeRulo - the youngest/the newest judge - our "celebrity wannabe" - had problems this week - outside of his judging gig in SYTYCD show - in terms of being "kicked off" the airport as he tried to board a regular plane - along with his Elvis Presley's style - entourage. According to MSN - he requested to board a regular plane with his group - so he could perform some gig in Las Vegas. However - after he was told not to show up - he and his entourage still attempted to board the air carrier - consequently - they were escorted out of the airport - by the airport security - whereupon - Mr. DeRulo - contracted a privet jet to fly him and his "bodyguards/companions" to Las Vegas - so he could play his gig - there.
Back to the SYTYCD Mon - Aug. 17 - show. The judges eliminated a Latin looking, handsome dancer Edson - who not only danced great but had a lot of personality and charisma while they praised some other dancers who - according to many viewers' posts - "were not that great - at all" - which lately - has been a norm.
At any rate - don't forget to watch next SYTYCD - episode on Monday Aug.24 - 2015. Let us know what you think and do put your "two-cents" on SYTYCD site on Facebook.
Have a great week!

A Short Review of So You Think You Can Dance Episode 11 - August 10 - 2015 - Monday night - Fox Network.
Everybody who watched a weekly episode of SYTYCD - last night - got a huge dose of massive boredom mixed with a lot of assorted stupid decisions - by the celebrity judges - Paula Abdul - dancer/choreographer, Nigel Lythgoe - founder and the executive producer of the show - from its beginning in 2005. This season - the show contracted a new, young judge, a big time celebrity "wannabe" - a break dancer - Mr. Jason DeRulo - a good looking youngster who needs to learn quite a bit - from the other two judges how to express a short dance analysis/critique.
In a nutshell - long story short - the judges decided to "save" two male dancers - Neptune and Derek. A group of us - the entertainment writers agreed that Neptune deserved to be kept for a week - due to his considerable dancing skills and personality - while Derek with his - unfortunately - lamely executed dancing number - on Monday night - combined with the personality - just as sparkling as a white colored spot against the cream colored wall - should have been sent home - according to tons of numerous viewers' posts to that effect - posted on the Facebook space of "So You Think You Dan Dance".
The fact that the judges kept Derek but failed to save Yoralis - a gloriously talented, the same way looking and consistently superbly performing female dancer - proves that the judges' decisions are - at times - massively upsetting to the viewers who didn't want Yoralis to be sent home. Many viewers expressed those feelings - on both on "So You Think You Can Dance" - Facebook and Youtube websites - respectively.
Still - we don't consider the multitudes of viewers always acting rationally in the social media "landscapes" - since - at times - for some mysterious reasons the viewers acquire a "lynch mob" mentality and behave in a "herd" fashion on the social media platforms - which can be disgusting and revolting.
At any rate - if SYTYCD - doesn't shape up - they will end up just like American Idol. Don't forget to watch the next Monday episode and let us know what you think - better yet - go to Facebook and vote on "So You Think You Can Dance" - voting spot!
Have a great week everybody!

PIttsburgh's - Shadyside's - cozy and full of ambiance - Sonoma Williams gourmet shop - at almost - end of the summer 2015.
Copyright@L.Hadley and Associates 2015
All of you know that I am starting to wait for the fall (my favorite season) - just about this time of the summer - which - normally - starts to get "under my skin" - especially if its full of nasty heat waves - which - thank God is not the case - so far - thank God - during the summer 2015.
The only cheerful aspect of the finally - ending of the typical summer - would be the abundance of tomatoes my favorite, "freaky" - fruit/veggie? - food entity. Last Sunday Aug. 2 - 2015 - Amanda did an excellent presentation on cooking tomato sauce as well as preparing some other summer dishes consisting of tomatoes plus other veggies - at my favorite Pittsburgh's - Shadyside - Sonoma Williams gourmet shop. Their address - 5516 Walnut St - Pittsburgh, Pa. 15215.
You need to go there to sign up for their complementary Sunday technique sessions - but while you at it - sign up for their regular cooking classes as well. Those are offered on Wednesdays evening with the fee - well worth the money - since you will take some considerable portions of food home with you - as well as spend a few hours with some quality, fun people.
Have a great end of the summer,
See you at Shadyside Sonoma Williams - on Sundays and Wednesdays!

The Best Buys store located at the lovely Waterfront Shopping Mall - in Homestead - a close suburb of Pittsburgh's - Squirrel Hill - does a super service.
Copyright@L.Hadley and Associates 2015
After I decided lately that my most crucial helper - my second "brain" - my Toshiba Satellite laptop is too big for me - to "schlepp" around - I bought a small hybrid laptop/tablet produced by the little known ASUS brand. Contrary to the suspiciously sounding name - so far - the little guy - electronic "helper" - has been very excellent.
It's always good to choose The Best Buys which has their "Geek Squad" on the premises - since - unless you are a bona fide - computer expert - it's best if they install and start your new device - for you - and if their sales people on the floor - encounter "snags" - one of their "Geek Squad" experts will know how to proceed.
After I specified what will be the main usage of my new electronic "helper" - (I blog for a living - as you all well know) - a young, knowledgeable, chunky built gentleman (not fat or anything like that) - set up my new electronic servant which I call my "Little Wizard". My big Toshiba Satellite laptop has a name of a "Big Wizard".
The Geek Squad expert told me that his name is Steve but his e-mail address features the name of a Si-Fi character - "Zane Twilight" in it - who is one of his fictional heroes. I admit by taking the proverbial "Fifth" that I have no clue as to who that fictional character is since the Science Fiction is - unfortunately - not my "forte".
Have a great Fourth of July weekend 2015 - everybody!

Tiffany's Ballroom Dance Club organizes a cool dance on Sat. May 16 - 2015.
All the good ballroom dancers in Pittsburgh area are familiar with the monthly dances organized by Tiffany Dance Club. The president - Mary Ann Rakoczy (a good dancer and a sparkling personality) - has expanded a lot of her energies to make this dance extra fun - with a hot supper served.
Even though the evening started on a bad note in terms of the electricity messing up in an older Moose Country Club in Penn Hills (an Eastern suburb of Pittsburgh) - everything straightened out after some ingenious members used mood producing candles as well as extra long extension cords. The hot buffet with lots of fresh salads plus the yummy dessert table complemented by tons of fresh fruits - punctuated by some tasty, minor meat dishes on the like of home made meatballs - were all big stars of the evening in their own right. The excellent dancing music provided by D.J. John - featured danceable pieces - easy to dance without any excessively fast or slow numbers.
I loved the showcase consisting of a pair of good dancers exhibiting their dancing skills - but my most favorite dance number was composed by Mariano Mores - an internationally famous Tango composer's - his Tango titled "Tanguera" (a woman who positively obsesses by tango - just like me) - was danced very well by the featured dancers.

I couldn't take my eyes off an attractive female dancer wearing a black lace dress (seductive and appropriate for an international tango) with her confident moves skillfully choreographed to international tango steps - while she was deftly led by her male partner - also clad in a dark attire.
In short - Mary Ann - the current madam president of the club - could write an excellent article on how to be an effective and fun - master of ceremonies for the event. A good master of ceremonies needs to be brief - but they need to highlight the helpers who make the event memorable while at the same time they shouldn't forget to emphasize all the participants who showed up - especially the new ones.
Spring dances are important since its great to finally "crawl out" of the cabin fever laced, winter dominated - houses - to dance and socialize. Everybody needs to dance - at least - once per week. Back to the last night event - for the moment; it "straightened" out quickly after the initial electricity stumble; the smart people always say that it's not important how the game begins - as long as it ends - well.
Keep dancing to restore and renew all
your good energies!
