It's night 3 of the auditions and we are heading to Montreal and Edmonton for our final 2 stops to check out the local talent, and then tomorrow night back to Toronto for the finals.
Montreal auditions have proven successful in the past... In fact 50% of last years Top 10 guys were from Quebec, including, of course, Canada's Favourite Dancer Nico Archambault.
On our panel tonight are Jean Marc (JM), Tre Armstrong, Mia Michaels and L'il C. Vincent from last year is here as well to give the pep talk and tells them all they need to kill it.
We start off with returning B-Boy Nicolas Begin from Quebec City... He 'practise so hard and he 'opes to do his best...' and wow! He's fantastic, lots of cool tricks and dancing to a great version of Fever.
The judges love him and just put him straight through. Tre actually is petting his face... kind of funny!
Next up are a couple of Latin dancers from Trois-Riviere, Catherine Turcotte and Vincent Desjardins. Nice strong performance from the both of them.
JM says wow, amazing, great feet and lots of flair. Tre said the performance allowed her to enjoy ballroom and that it was fun to watch. Mia says that Latin dance is the 'most sexiest' genre of dance, they were hot, she's a fan. L'il C seconds everything and off they go to the finals.
Sonia Sutherland of the very fancy nails is up next. She's pretty much a club dancer.
Very quickly into her number L'il C calls for the music to be cut and says they only need to see about 20 seconds of her to know what she's got, and it won't be enough for the show. JM says no, thank-you.
Oh look! It's Vincent's girlfriend Kim Gringas. She auditioned with Vincent last year, but only he made it through.
She's a great dancer, lots of style, very cute!
L'il C says it was a good blend of styles, a hearty, ryhthmical full course meal (?). JM says it was a solid performance, not like a bad buffet... huh? What's with all the food analogies?
Tre says her confidence is sexy and she's super talented. Mia tells her she's got it all and gives her a ticket to Toronto.
Hip hopper Cody (Babyface) Bonnell from Unionville is returning from last year and he's determined to make it this time.
As he's dancing Tre is commenting that he needs to look up more often, and C is singing along with the music...
JM welcomes him back and says that he loves him. Tre says he's a beautiful and adorable dancer and that the number was amazing, but they needed to connect with him a bit more. Mia says that she feels like he's in his own world, and it's kind of cool, makes him mysterious. L'il C says he was fluid, chill and relaxed. Off to Toronto goes Cody.
Contortionist Sante Fortunato from Vancouver is up next and she says she has difficulty choosing between dancing and circus, but right now she's focusing on the dancing.
Hmmmm... I'm not entirely sure of that.
Tre says there was lots of lip licking and sashaying but not so much dancing. For some reason, she likes her anyway, she's obviously very flexible with lots of personality. Mia says she can only imagine what she would do on a pole and that she's not a fan of stripper dancing. It was entertaining to a point, but sexiness shouldn't be force fed.
L'il C says she definitely sold her flexibility and sex appeal and she obviously knows what works for her. JM feels her energy was misguided and that she used her circus training too much, it was over the top, and maybe not the impression she wanted to give. They send her to BBC to see if she can do anything else. She makes it through to Toronto, but not without some debate.
Twins Jayme Rae and Jenny Dalley are up next, contemporary dancers from Montreal. They perform beautifully and their choreography rocks.
Mia asks right off the top who did their choreography and she is duly impressed when they say they did it themselves, it was fabulous. She thinks Jayme Rae might be a bit stronger, but together they are gorgeous. L'il C says it was beautiful.
JM gets all choked up. For quite a long time. I'm not quite sure what is going on, everyone seems to be crying. Oh. His son is a twin (I think that's what he said?) and he will never get the opportunity to experience something like that with his sister. I think. His son was a twin (in utero) but the twin was what is called a vanishing twin - and so was never born. Nonetheless, it's a very emotional moment. Tre thanks them for the performance, and blesses them. And sends them to the finals. Gotta admit - choked me up a bit. Oh, Jean Marc.
Jason Noel and his ego are here to perform for us next, and wow, is this guy full of himself. He says he has a flame inside that's like ecstasy. Huh. Okay, gotta say it. How much you wanna bet this guy's never got laid? It's just like he's trying too hard to prove he's a sex machine. Blech.
His shirt comes off right away, and I'll give him that he's a very intense dancer.
Tre says he has gorgeous choreography and movements. Mia says he dances best with his clothes off... and has nice lines. L'il C says he enjoyed... no he 'understood' the message, and he was sending a female message in a male body, if you follow... He said it was beautiful, but it needed to be a bit more dominant. JM says something about something and then calls him amazing. Yet they put him into BBC to see what else he can do. In the end they send him, and his ego, to Toronto.
Hip hopper Melissa Charlot performs next and I really like her, she's kind of funky.
L'il C says he enjoys watching hip hop when there is a quality bounce to it. JM says she has flair and personality. Tre says she is bright like sunshine. Mia hopes she can do other things, because she is so what this show is about. They put her into BBC and ultimately through to the finals.
This should be good. Camille Norton auditioned last year with Danny, who made it into the Top 20, and now she wants her chance. And her partner is... Danny! Fun!
What a great number - anyone know what this song is? Seriously, I need to know. I trust Kim will come through for me on this one...('Feelin Love' by Paula Cole, you're welcome.) This is such a sultry, hot piece, I love it.
JM says it was amazing, her legs and feet were fantastic, her mobility and use of space fabulous. Tre says she is very easy on the eyes... Mia is wow'd by the chemistry and asks if they have a history, if they are a couple. Camille says they used to be and shoots a look that seems to me like she wouldn't mind having a second shot at that... L'il C says she has a great look, that the cameras would love her, as would all of Canada. I agree, she was fantastic. She gets a ticket to Toronto. I'm hoping for Top 20 for her.
A series of people go through to the finals, but they whip through them so fast I don't catch all their names... except for Justin Jackson, tapper Jean someone and Mindy someone who says she took classes from Mia in North Bay a few years back and it changed her world, so in awe that Mia would come to such a small community to teach dancing. You can tell Mia is touched.
Day 2 in Montreal starts off with ballroom couple Yevgeniya Taftay and Yvan Piwovarov. They do a jive that is really sharp and good fun to watch.
JM says it kills him to see beautiful dancing like this. Tre says they are multi-talented, that it was beautiful, wonderful... Mia says there are awesome, fantastic dancers and she loved the fusion between them. L'il C says they did a great job and he enjoyed the pace of it. They both get sent through to the finals.
Hoop dancer Rebecca Halls from Comox, BC, is up next, and I'm not sure about this one. She's really good with a hula hoop, that I'll give her, but there isn't much in the way of dancing. Yeah, not really much dancing here.
JM says she is very talented at what she does, but he agrees with me, there wasn't much dancing. Tre says it was a psychedelic dance trip, and I'm not quite sure what she means by that. Mia says it doesn't have the weight behind it that it needed. L'il C says that she kept the hoops spinning, but other than that it was one dimensional. They send her to BBC anyway, but in the end she gets sent home.
B-Boy Kurtis Preston from Calgary is next and he is really good. That scarf around his head isn't helping him any. It looks like he's suffering from a head injury.
C says he was in da house, that it was a really good solo, but the tops weren't as nasty as they could have been. But overall a really solid piece and very unique. JM says he is his own personality and very good. Tre says being a B-Boy is where he belongs but needs to work on his musicality. Mia says he is really unique and special, and is her favourite B-Boy that she has ever seen out of all the shows. They put him through to the finals.
This... person... is really... interesting. Bisma Raza. She's going to win the competition, you know. That's what she tells us. I can't get away from how much she looks like... a man.
When you start off doing the moonwalk and lip synching, you just know it isn't going to go well. Are we just ignoring the no pants thing?
JM says she would make a better actress than a dancer. Tre says no, just... no. Mia says she can't get past the pantyhose on the outside, that she just doesn't get it, sorry. L'il C says she did the moonwalk one too many times. At least. They send her home. She says "$#@! you judges." Bye bye Bisma.
We go through a quick series of those who do not make it through before we get to this wonder.
I'm going to see if I can find this audition on Youtube and post it if I can, because it was freaking fantastic, best so far of all the auditions. I won't be able to say enough about this one...
Gessuri Gaitan from Calgary performs for us, practically leaves his soul on the stage. He's a contemporary dancer with so much style and quirk I can hardly stand it. Love the shot of Mia with her mouth gaping open! And again, what is this song? Kim? Please? If I could get more of the lyrics I could probably find it, but it's a little hard to understand. I'll keep working.
Mia is just entranced as she watches and C is almost out of his seat. I want to watch it again and again.
JM says they could do a whole show just on him. Tre says the whole world just comes through him when he dances. Mia says he was phenomenal, she is totally wow'd, and she could have watched him for a long time. L'il C says he is soooo bucc, he almost tackled him, it was the best solo he has seen so far, one of the elite, pure, sincere, honest.
They're not done yet. Mia says the marriage of their talents would be disgusting and she proposes to him. He apologizes that he doesn't have a ring. She gives him a ticket to Toronto instead. Oh please please let him be Top 20. He really was incredible. I'd like to spend a day following him around (not in a stalker way) just because you have to figure he does everything a little differently.
Phew. I'm done for a minute.
....
....
....
Alright, onto a series of those who make it to Toronto, and the only name I catch is Tiger from last year. Remember how aggressive he was when he didn't make it last time? He seems to have taken some anger management courses since, so it will be interesting to see how far he goes.
And now for Blake's Boot Camp (BBC) - uh oh.... hoop girl shows up 30 minutes late and Blake is pissed, understandably. She went to meditate and fell asleep. Yeah. She gets the boot.
And we are done with Montreal.
Now for Edmonton. This is the first time they've held auditions there and on the panel we have JM, Tre, Luther Brown and Stacey Tookey. And Miles is here! I love Miles, it's so great to see him. His advice is don't hold back, give it everything you have.
First guy up is Jeff Mortenson. He started his dance career with Ukrainian dancing, but today he'll be doing a contemporary number. What a great dancer. He has some fabulous flips, and I'm thinking a ticket is pretty much guaranteed. He was really really good. For those interested, the song is 'All We Are' by Matt Nathanson.
The judges fake taking a break, and walk away... oh yeah, sorry, we forgot to give you your ticket. Funny bunch.
Nathan Young is next and he says his size brings a lot of focus to his personality. He's a pretty good performer, but possibly not cut out for this show.
JM says he was definitely a lot of fun to watch. Tre says for a bigger guy he is really light on his feet. Luther said it was clear he was having fun, but maybe not for this show. Stacey says there wasn't enough for her but she found him very inspirational.
JM says he would like to send him to BBC, but the other 3 over rule him, and Nathan goes home.
Contemporary dancer Shelaina Anderson performs next and she is a lovely dancer with lots of expression. And I like her name.
Luther says wow, that was great! Stacey calls her a breath of fresh air, that watching her made her want to dance, and that she has beautiful technique. JM says the vocabulary she uses with her body is so loud. Tre says she had goose bumps right down to her pinky toes. Into the finals with her.
Anther contemporary dancer, Joel Ronnie from Ponoka, Alberta dances next. He has some really neat moves, like the kick that goes right into a summersault... really cool. ('Always Midnight' by Pat Monahan)
Luther says he did a good job, but would like to see him make it a bit more masculine, that he needs to hold it down for the boys. Stacey says he has nice things happening, but it needed just a bit more finish. JM says he landed like a cat in some of his jumps. They send him to BBC, but I think I would have put him right through. He makes it through to the finals anyway, so that's okay.
Back from last year is B-Boy James Jones and I like him, his performance made me smile all the way through.
Tre says he was fun, humorous and entertaining. Luther says pretty much the same thing, and comments on his character and personality, but also says that he has to make the steps count as much as his personality.
Stacey says it was great and that she loved all the tricks, it was very entertaining. JM says he showed us some new stuff from last year, and that he was happy to see him again, that he was amazing. They give him a ticket to Toronto, like they did last year.
Anthony Grafton from Calgary takes the stage next with a partner and they give a really sharp performance.
Luther commends the partner and says he was hoping for a bit more of a connection between the two of them. Stacey says she found she was watching the partner more than she was Anthony, but it was still good. JM says he is a strong male dancer and a really good partner. Tre asks why the partner isn't auditioning and it's because she is only 17, so next year... He goes through to the finals.
Native hoop dancer Eric Pipstem is up next and wow. He is totally mesmerizing, I couldn't take my eyes off him!Very cool.
Tre says she has never seen anything like that before. Luther asks what all the symbolism was, and we learn that the symbols of the hoops represent a person's life. Stacey says he was impressive and JM thanks him, says it was beautiful and they send him to BBC. Sadly, he doesn't make it to Toronto, but he says he will be back next year.
Corynne Baron is our last audition of the night. She's also a ringette goalie - talk about diverse interests!
She does a contemporary number that really is fantastic, beautiful lines and expressions.
The judges each hold up a piece of paper - COME GET YOUR TICKET
Ahhh, she's a little cutie, all embarrassed that she (and her dad) are crying. I like her.
Another series of those who get their tickets, and as usual I don't get any names, but the African Krumper guy looked cool!
A quick look at Blake's Boot Camp and we're done for the night, but not without seeing a preview of the finals tomorrow night with JM freaking out on them on the stage - should be good!
See you all in Toronto...!

If you find out the song Gessuri Gaitan danced to, I would LOVE to know! :o)
The pressure's on Kim! Come on, you can do it!
I'm working on it. Once I find it, it'll have a post of its own.
Keep checking back.
Hi all. This is Robyn in Calgary. Can you email me at robyn.hauck@creb.com if you know the version of the song 'Fever' which one of the soloist chose for his solo in SYTYCD? with a band and I want to learn it. I think it was in the city of Montreal. Your help is much appreciated. Robyn
@Anonymous - I'm still looking for this one too! I've sampled every version on iTunes and nothing. I'm hoping for another Google fluke - I'll call it a floogle. If I find it, I'll be sure to let you know!
The song you are looking for that Gessuri Gaitan danced to is called Gods away on bussiness, by Tom Waites. All his music is in the same line all fantastic. The dance though my God what a beautiful fluid majestic being. absolutely glorious
Hello. Does any one have the video from these auditions?
