Congratulations to Joshua for winning SYTYCD season 4!!!

Congratulations to Joshua!!
     He is America's Favorite Dancer (SYTYCD) of season 4! Best of luck to all of the dancers on the tour! I will try to post some videos of the tour as videos pop up! 

     You can probably imagine how ecstatic i was when some of the dancers from past seasons appeared on the finale! Alli was there and informed all that she had had a baby girl, Weslie about two months ago! Lauren was also there, and Traaaaaavis! It was great! They did almost the same dance they did for the American Idol Finale (so i was a bit disappointed in that....I was hopin' for somethin' new!) I was also hoping maybe Shaunar could be there, but she wasn't. Lacey was though! So there's some good news! I was almost positive that Zack was in the "evil bunny dance" lol. I will post some videos of them later. Don't let me forget!

#14 Best Dancer On SYTYCD Season's 2 and 3!!!

Best Dancer #14 of SYTYCD Season's 2 and 3 :D

14. Neil
He's such a cutie. His personality could be out shined by his partners sometimes i feel. I could almost sometimes think he could've been a better gymnast. But he is fantastic!...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-yTL8Jhr1k -- Neil and Sabra Jazz. they both did really well! he's so strong and he danced so manly in this dance!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri1jrMPSKdI&feature=related -- Neil and Lauren Contemporary. I love how long his legs are, and this dance showed that he CAN do it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHMQ_rD6KJU&feature=related -- DON'T WATCH LACEY! No offense to her (I'll show you someone better in a moment). But Neil. Wow. He portrays this character so well. And just acts so mature in this dance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TqRXTjto6k -- I don't know how much i like this compared, to for example if Travis were to be doing a solo to this song. But i didn't know Neil could do it. He did well!

Stay Beautiful,
Brooke

SYTYCD Finale Tonight! Did YOU Vote?

Heyyyyyya'll :D So (sorry i say that A LOT!), I am currently baking a cake. Hopefully i don't burn it... And hopefully it works. You see I only had 2 eggs and the recipe called for 3.....so uhmmmm. So yesh, only used two eggs. I don't think it will make to much difference, especially in the taste because according to my foods class last year in school, eggs are just a "leavening agent" or something like that....and so i don't believe leavening has anything whatsoever to do with the taste (which is all i care about!) Ooooooooh I think it's doooone! Yay! It is not burnt! Perfect. It looks like a ginormous sponge though! lol! But it's think and delicious just how i like it. A little tan around the edges and bits in the middle, but I really think I did well with it!

I just re-read what i wrote and when i said "yesh" it totally reminded me of dance camp! In our character class we learned these easy little dances from around the world and one of them you grabbed hands with a person across from you and chanted "Yesh. Yesh. Yesh, yesh yesh yesh!" lol. It was THE funniest thing ever in my life.

As promised I researched the whole etc. vs. ect. thing. Apparently I have been saying it wrong. It is not pronounced "ex-cetra". So i went along and looked up "excetra" on dictionary.com and nothing was what i wanted! So i resorted to looking up "etc." and here is what came up: Et Cetera. Who knew? lol. That would explain why it is etc. because of the "Et C" part. Here's the definintion of "Et Cetra": –adverb
and others; and so forth; and so on (used to indicate that more of the same sort or class might have been mentioned, but for brevity have been omitted): He had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, frogs, et cetera, as pets. Abbreviation: etc.
So. Here is the pronunciation key: [ek-set-er-uh], or [ek-se-truh]. I for one say it the second way. It's understandable how anyone would mistake it as a "ex" sound because "ex" and "ek" sound extremely similar! Hopefully that clears any confusion of ETC.!

Now for abbreviation. There really is no answer to this. It's just a funny coincident! We will just have to ponder of it for forever.

The SYTYCD finale is one tonight, and we will say good bye to yet another season. Season 5, wowza. lol. Make sure to watch. I bet that Joshua will win, but I think Twitch will be runner-up.

Lacey in a Gorilla Suit.

FOURTH POST OF THE DAY! Can you tell I'm bored?!


So, daily I'm switching between my obsessions: Legally Blonde: The Musical, Ashley Tisdale, So You Think You Can Dance: Alli, Lauren, Shaunar, etc. etc. (does anyone else feel etc. should really be ect.? considering you pronounce it "ex-cetra" and the "x" sounds like a "c"? wowza....how do you spell excetra? lol. Why is it so complicated? Guess that's why we just use the abbreviation...lol. It's like why is abbreviation such a long word? hmm. That's fascinating! We will have to dedicate a whole post to that tomorrow....STAY TUNED!: ect. vs. etc. and why is abbreviation such a long word?!), Clothes (when is my shirt gonna come from Hollister), Purses (When is my sexy pink purse gonna come...it was free overnight shipping. Should come tomorrow!), Dance (So excited for new dance studio!), and Harry Potter. Interesting match, eh?

Found this video of Shuanar (I know it is SHAUNA, I can explain the Shaunar thing later if you'd like...maybe when i investigate ect. and etc.), Zack, Lacey (in gorilla suit), and some other guy (Is his name Rey?)....yes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-XhoH41k9c
Amazing, is it not? lol. This is what dancers do when they are bored. Or hyper. lol. Some people just do not understand it :P

Toodles, and Snaps!
.:Brooke:.

p.s. when you spell check excetra it doesn't know it or have any suggestions for it that is what i'm looking for....

Alli on SYTYCD 4 Finale?!

So excited for the season 4 finale of SYTYCD tonight....especially since i heard there is a possibility of ALLI HOLKER being there (or even better.....DANCING!) i haven't seen her dance in forever because of little Weslie! Yet another reason why you should watch the season 4 finale of SYTYCD!



This picture Jenna came across on Jaimie's Myspace. She called me down and I was like "Whoa! Is that Alli?!" And Jenna was like "No! It doesn't even look like Alli! You're just so desperate to hear of Alli you're hallucinating!" I was still very convinced it was Alli. I would know her anywhere...


Soon after I'd left the computer to continue my reading of Breaking Dawn she screamed "OhMyGosh! It IS Allison Holker!!" I charged down stairs and sure enough it was the darling Jaimie with her arm wrapped around Alli! I screamed "I knew it!" (Haha, sounding like Natalie...."I KNEW IT!") Immediately i went to AllisonHolkerFans.com to find it was true and there is a possibility of Alli and Jaimie appearing on the finale! Does Alli not look amazing for having just had a child 3ish months ago? Wow.

Cross your fingers that we see her on the finale tonight or tomorrow night! Will Travis and Ivan be there too? I hope, but doubt, that Shaunar will be there! It would be great to see all my favorites dancing together!

Kisses,

Brooke

# 16 and 15 Best Dancer's of Season's 1 & 2 SYTYCD!

16. Pasha Pasha from Russia.
I think, for a ballroom dancer he did a fantastic job doing every style of dance that he was faced with. He loved everyone, and could make everyone smile. I don't really have a lot to say about him, other than he's fantastic and performed some of my favorite dances ever on the show! I think he deserves though, good and bad, to be # 16 on my list though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVXY_3W1GVo -- Pasha and Jessi Smooth Waltz top 20 "Come Away With Me". Ok. Excuse me for a moment, but *SSSSSPPPPAAAAAZZZZZ*. This was THE BEST slow ballroom dance, in my opinion, EVER on SYTYCD! Both of them did an incredible job!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVoVNUpajmk -- I think he did a better job than, Anya on his solo's. This one was very entertaining, (not Benji entertaining though). I adore that little look at the end! Aw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL6Fm8Gs94s&feature=related -- Pasha and Sabra Broadway "Wild, Wild, Party". This was fun and i don't think Sabra out shined him even if she was wearing shiny stuff. And Pasha was a revelation too.

15. Hok
What to start with with Hok. I think he did lovely, considering his background and no real professional dance training. He couldn't really do ballroom, but it didn't matter cause he looked very handsome and Jaimie definitely still loved him! He is just so unique in his movements and he does things that no one else does, did, or could do!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWBleH1qFWc -- Hok and Jaimie top 20 hip hop "Tambourine" . I'll have to shut myself up about Jaimie. Hok did lovely, this dance shows his strengths.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIcw_0suhAY&feature=related -- This was a good solo, for sure! I enjoyed it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw6sPKioWqU&feature=related -- he literally just floats and glides! It's remarkable! Well he goes down it not like a fall, it's like a float. I can't explain it! Just watch and you'll know what i mean!

Thought I'd make up for lost time :D

-Brooke <3

SYTYCD Finale Tonight! Who is YOUR Favorite Dancer?!

Hello Ya'll! Hope everyone is doing well! Yes, I woke up like at 7:20 this morning when my dearest Parkzee, my doggie, scratched on my door to come it (I'm the only one that will let her lay on my bed....) and so once she woke me up there was no going back to sleep!

So, I bet I am the last person on the face of the world that hasn't finished Breaking Dawn yet....Thanks to my sister. It's really good so far and I was surprised at what has since page 403. If you haven't read it, you need to skip down to Wal-Mart or Barns 'n' Noble to get a copy! It's really cheap for a hard-back...Only like $13 or something. Very worth it.

Also, Tonight is the season 4 part one finale of So You Think You Can Dance! The final four contestants consist of Twitch (who I will be voting for), Katee, Joshua, and Courtney. So pick your favorite and get voting tonight on FOX :D

pssssstt. If you haven't been watching and might not know who these dancers are, here are some videos of them to remind you :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcfmKgJ3xA&feature=related Twitch's top 12 solo :D Very good!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kh2u5-2rWk Twitch's top 6 solo! So funny!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKt5OaqgIh8 My favorite solo of Twitch's :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK3ZAoE3ees - Courtney's top 12 solo....She's definitely not Alli, Jaimie or Shaunar :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VheZjS3b6k0&feature=related Courtney's top 10 solo. 'Kay, I can do a better "tilt-jump" and at least my leg would be straight for the illusion she does out of it.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KabDCfgzsjY&feature=related - Courtney's Audition dance. The best she's done....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFL3w78muw - Joshua's top 10 solo! :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57CHBtkxjeM Top 8 solo of Joshua's. He's really good! Him and Twitch should make an interesting finale!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SqST-0GwQU Another really good solo from Joshua!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OAiiPYadOo - Katee. I'm just gonna post this and keep my mouth shut :DDD *cough* Alli *cough*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQlAyBsfS0c - My favorite solo of Katee's! Really well done!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUeIpkI5sPs - Much better tilt jump! lol! Katee's top 6 solo!


Hope that helps everyone make up their mind. Vote for Twitch! lol!

Loves,

CRUSH!!!

So.... i got up at 5:30 in the morning today *yawn*, but let me tell you, it was totally worth it!! My alarm went off and i was the "What the?" and then i remembered! Today is like, Christmas! LOL. So with excitement i ran downstairs, but i had to be very quiet cuz my mom told me if i woke her up she wouldn't be a happy camper. lol. so i TRIED to be quiet, but i think i might've waken her up still.... :\ Sorry mom!

ANYWAY... so back to the point!!! They said on the show, that David hadn't even heard his own song put all together yet, cuz they were still making final touches last night! wow. that's gotta put your nerves on edge a little.... But there wasn't any need to worry ;)

"Crush" fits right into the pop world, and exceeded my expectations. :) It isn't for sale on Itunes YET but it will be soon, and it's sure to soar to the top of the charts! At least i will be buying it for sure! I think that we'll be hearing it plenty on the radio in the near future, but if you are like me and you simply couldn't wait any longer, and you still haven't heard it, here is a link to listen!

Gosh. I can't get this song out of my head now! It's very catchy! Enjoy!
