7/16: So You Think You Can Dance comes to Gwinnett Arena Nov. 13
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m not really following “So You Think You Can Dance” this season but if you are, mark your calendars for the victory lap tour, which hits the Gwinnett Arena Nov. 13. And by the way, I have a new laptop (or at least one who’s hard drive is making grinding noises.) So I’m back in business!
According to the tour press release:
Finalists participating include Chelsie H, Comfort, Courtney G, Katee, Kherington, Gev, Joshua, Mark, Twitch and Will. Jessica, who recently left the show due to an unfortunate injury, may return to the stage when the dancers embark on the nationwide tour.
Tix go on sale August 2 so check on ticketmaster.com as the date gets closer.
-And here’s the daily gratuitous dis about Ramiele Malubay, this time from MJ’s Big Blog review courtesy of Griffy from Salt Lake City:
Ramiele - She is so out of her league. Her performances weren’t terrible, but she just got drowned out by the crowd. Her onstage talking between numbers seemed super awkward. I think she is still sooooo nervous about all of this.
-How about this for random? Jordin Sparks is going to summer camp..
-Atlanta’s Sevendust isn’t stupid. Their latest single “The Past” features a guest vocal from Daughtry. Details here.
-Unions are trying to organize reality show employees, piggybacking on the “Idols Live” tour for publicity purposes. More details here.
-Forgot to mention that John Rich Monday during “Nashville Star” made it clear the producers of the show — not the judges — decided on the final contestants. And he was not pleased. Can you blame him?
-My numbers-obsessed friend Ken Barnes at USA Today posted the total sales of the various coronation songs here.. Given that back in 2002-03, most sales were CDs and now they are all downloads means a bit of an oranges to apples situation but Clay Aiken is at the top (and he didn’t even win!), followed by Kelly, Carrie and Ruben. Taylor is fifth but David Cook’s “This is My Time” will probably lapse it in a couple of weeks.
