Go Grandma! Although why you’d want his nasty face in your cleavage is beyond me. She’s so thrilled to be there watching her granddaughter dance.
This is our first heavily acrobatic audition of this season, and my non-love for acro in routines hasn’t changed since the last time I went off on a tangent about it. Yeah, she’s good. She’d be just as good without the acro in there.
Nigel would like to see her go through to the choreography round, but Mary and Debbie vote her straight through to Vegas. Grandma tells him he should change his vote so he doesn’t end up looking like a moron. He already accomplished that when he made some crack about Grandma thinking she was squeezing his hand. He really is too disgusting.
Anyone watch this? Was it is good?
We get another montage o’dancers before moving on to Asher Walker. He lives in Franklin County, VA and tells us there is about zero hip hop community there. He’s learned everything he knows from You Tube and by practicing in his garage on cardboard.
I actually like this kid a lot more than I thought I would. I have to admit, the cardigan threw me off a little!
Debbie adores him. She thinks he’s fresh and that he’s taken the language of hip hop and translated it into another form. She points out his hip hop coupe! Mary says she loves that he’s not afraid to take a pause; he captures all the moments he can. Nigel agrees with the ladies and tells Asher his entertainment factor is fabulous. Also his musicality is fabulous. And he looks forward to seeing him in Vegas. Wow. I’m not sure that he’ll be able to hang.
It’s time for another montage. I have to admit, I don’t mind the montages when they’re full of good dancers! It just makes me want to see more.
And more I’m gonna get. We’re moving on to George Lawrence II, a contemporary dancer who used to be a track star. He talks about how his dad wanted a sports son, and he tried to give that to him, playing a crapload of sports. His dad was really upset when he quit track and George says he wishes his dad was as supportive of his dancing.
I wish he was too because this kid is fucking fabulous. He also seems so sweet. Quiet and self-possessed. It’s hard to believe the kid is only eighteen.
As he’s dancing Debbie says to Mary that this child is fierce. He really is.
Nigel thinks it was very powerful and hopes that his dad is very, very proud of him. He certainly would be proud of him if he was his son. Mary thinks his was the best audition they’ve seen so far. Debbie says that he was born to dance. She is so happy to be here, to be a part of his journey. He is going to Vegas!!
Cat tells us that over the next two hours even more seats to Vegas were filled. We get to see a couple of them and they are pretty fucking good. I hope we get more of them in Vegas than just the glimpses we’ve been shown so far.
But what would an audition show be without some crappy filler? Luckily we don’t spend too much time on the crap and instead get a montage instead. We also get a montage of people being tongue tied. Including some Britney chick who clenches her jaw when she talks.
She’s from a small town known for its chickens. Yep. Chickens. That are apparently protected by law or something. Oy.
She’s good, but I don’t know that she’ll stand out once we get to Vegas.
Mary thinks she’s good, not great. Room to grow. Debbie agrees, so does Pervapottamus. They pass her through to choreography.

I love Cat! I don’t think that can be said enough.
If were the dancers from the other cities, I would be really jealous that the Atlanta dancers got to have Debbie Allen watched them.
I loved the belly dancer, but I might be a little bias since I’m from Alabama too. I love belly dancing and would love to learn how to do it.
Loved the Dragon House dancers, especially the last guy. I really hope at least makes it the top 20 too, but since I want it to happen it probable won’t happen.
The Selena Gomez Stalker was super annoying. He’s one of those people you just want to punch in the face every time they talk . And the more he kept talking the more that urge grew for me.
I’m really happy for your recaps PottyMouth. For the second week in a row a thunderstorm started during the show, knocking the satellite signal out. So I miss the beginning of the 2nd day and the first 2 dancers.
So first I have to admit I did watch The Choice. I had no intention whatsover until I heard Cat was hosting so I figured I would give it a chance. And it was awful, and slightly disappointed in Cat for being a part of it. It was really painful. But since Cat’s amazing, hopefully it will soon be just a blip on her radar and no one will remember.
I loved Glitch because it’s so rare people that do popping and locking or the robot show much emotion. But he just lit up the stage with his smile and showed all sorts of facial expressions and emotions. I loved his two buddies too. This was definitely the best audition show in a long time.
PM, thanks for the recap; wonderful as always!
I don’t know there is something about Joshua I don’t like, he’s an excellent dancer…just something…Karate guy seems a tad smarmy, don’t like him either. WTF, did you see that horrible ‘ballet’ judges?? You saw that crap live, it s-u-c-k-e-d-. Nigel had a pervgasm watching Glitch. I loved all the Dragon House! I have to watch the second half, I just haven’t gotten to it yet.
I am loving how people are actually doing choreography for there auditions instead of just a bunch of moves. I also love the variety of guys we’ve seen (especially Hugh…what he’s not auditioning?) but as wonderful as the girls have been I wish I could see a girl that isn’t jazz/lyrical/contemperary knock it out of the park. Love this show, love PM, love all the commenters!
@Blazergirl…you took the words right outta my mouth. Cat Deeley is one of my favoritest people on reality TVso I watched “The Choice” solely out of my love for her. It wasn’t funny or cute or so-bad-you-had-to-watch. It was just plain bad. I didn’t even know who two of the dudes were. Cat, God love her, tried so hard to make it watchable but we turned it off before the end.
Anyway, love the recaps and can’t wait for the performance shows to start!
The auditions so far have been crazy good, but has anyone else noticed they haven’t shown ONE ballroom dancer? Unless I’m forgetting, everything seems to be hip-hop, then contemporary with the occasional other style (belly dancing, etc).
It doesn’t seem believable that no good ballroom dancers have auditioned yet, and obviously some of them are going to make the top 20 so where are they…?
I was super impressed with the ATL auditions. Other than the karate guy and those twins (GAH-I hate them), all of the auditions they showed in full were actual good dancers.
And @fawm-I agree. This audition round had actual choreography instead of the stick my leg up in the air olympics.
I thought the belly dancer was great in her style, but I’m interested to see how she does in Vegas. I can totally tell that chicken hasn’t had the greatest training. She has a decent foundation, but there isn’t alot of power in her moves. Nothing she did really went to the next level-her teachers seem to have taught her really basic stuff. Solid, but still. Although the husband think she looks like she took dance classes from the local strip club and then tried to translate it-so who knows.
Potty you are AWESOME as always. Did you see Hugh on the Tony’s this weekend? And Alex Wong?
Dragons, Zombies, Exorcists…is this SYTYCD or Game of Thrones?
Alex Wong was on the Tony’s????? I’m not happy I missed him!
Last night featured a fabulous ballroom danced named Witney Carson. She reminded me a lot of Chelsie Hightower.
Imagine if Dragon House crew was on ABDC…sickening!
@blazergirl He’s in the Newsies cast. As is Evan (season 5), Thayne (season 4), and Jess (season 8). But Alex was featured in the Tony telecast.
Heck-Evan apparently has a few lines in a speaking role.
Thanks for recapping what I think were probably the best, or one of the best, audition shows ever. Just a great show. Amazing dancers. Loved the Dragon House dudes. Pure artistry. And if they don’t make it past Vegas, I hope that they bring them back as guests. A very positive and heartening show!
Correcting my grammar – “what I think “was” the best…” Ahahaha. Neurotic? Yes.
