SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE 6/29/11: Top 16 Performances

I only have one word to summarize tonight’s best performances:  NAPPYTABS

Both of NappyTabs’ hip hop routines were AMAZING!

MELANIE & MARKO:

Marko may just be my new favorite guy!  The emotion he showed in his routine was just awesome.  It’s something about using a Leona Lewis song…First it was the Bleeding Love performance by Mark & Chelsie in Season 4…now this one.  I thought it was just PERFECTION.  I was crying watching it.  SO GOOD.  Mel & Marko really make the PERFECT COUPLE:

Oh, and having Kristin Chenoweth on tonight was so great!  LOVE HER!  And that whole kissing fest after this number was hilarious!  Nigel kissing Mary…then Kristin kissing Lil’ C!  Woohoo!

JORDAN & TADD:

The 2nd NappyTabs routine I’m mainly posting for two things:  Props & Tadd.   Umm…the whole concept of the bed and the clothes was pretty cool!  And gotta say…Tadd without his shirt was QUITE enjoyable.

Those are the only ones I really need to post from tonight.

NEW SHOW PREVIEW: Smash

I’m sure many of you have heard about the new show Smash coming to NBC this fall.  Well, they show a preview of it last night during The Voice.  One if its stars, Katharine McPhee (American Idol Season 5 runner-up) came on to promote the show.

After watching the preview, I gotta say…I’m QUITE EXCITED about it!  It looks really good!  Kat looks and sounds AWESOME.  Not to mention that Debra Messing (Will & Grace) and Angelica Huston are in the show as well.  Megan Hilty (I saw her in Wicked when I saw the show for the first time!) is also one of the main starts, which is so cool…she’s a pretty big Broadway girl.  But watching it, I didn’t realize that Kat really is kinda like the STAR of that show!  Wow, what a huge opportunity for her!  I’m quite interested to see how she does with the whole acting thing.  Doing a weekly show like this is HUGE.  I mean, she’ll be on EVERY WEEK!

Kinda can’t wait for this show…!  Altho people compare it to Glee, to me it doesn’t seem to have THAT MANY similarities to it…other than the singing.  This one seems like it will also gear more towards the Broadway side.  Definitely more “adult” than Glee in a lot of ways.

See what you think.  Here’s the preview from last night (including the intro with Carson Daly & Kat):

Here’s another longer trailer I found:

Doesn’t it look GOOD?!
