Dancing Masterclass Discussion Thread For So You Think You Can Dance Top 6 Show: Part Two

July 28, 2010 by Masterclass Lady 11 Comments


Tonight, six dancers will dance again and two will be eliminated tomorrow evening.  So, given the precarious circumstances surrounding this season’s offering of So You Think you Can Dance, does that mean that two dancers will be injured this week? Billy Bell, after taking a week off to rehabilitate, should be back in the saddle […]

Will he or won’t he? That is the question and it’s a good one, up for strong debate here on MasterclassLady.Com.  And the question is: “Will Nigel Lythgoe make a timely return to American Idol Season 10 and , with him, bring higher ratings for the show “?

Masterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent: Group Three Of The Top 48

July 27, 2010 by Masterclass Lady 6 Comments


I am thoroughly enjoying America’s Got Talent this year. I think the producers and judges have discovered some great talent despite the fact that many enormously talented artists were dismissed early in the season. I was deeply impressed with Michael Grimm – his new look plus his improved vocal sound made me an immediate fan. And I […]

Mad World: Michael Ciufo

July 26, 2010 by Masterclass Lady Comments Off on Mad World: Michael Ciufo


I was mindlessly surfing the web on this beautiful Monday morning and discovered this hauntingly beautiful version of Mad World featuring Canadian Tenor Michael Ciufo. Now, as many of you know, Season 8 American Idol Runner-Up, Adam Lambert, performed a glorious version of this song. However, I thought that Michael Ciufo, as well, brilliantly internalized […]

Dancing Masterclass Discussion Thread For So You Think You Can Dance Top 6 Show

July 21, 2010 by Masterclass Lady 24 Comments


  The producers of this season’s “So You Think You Can Dance” show have discovered an unfortunate way to eliminate a dancer each week: injury.  Two weeks ago, Alex was eliminated due to an untimely injury and, last week, Ashley followed in his footsteps so to speak.  I don’t know what is happening behind the scenes but […]

Masterclass Discussion Thread For America’s Got Talent: Group Two Of The Top 48

July 20, 2010 by Masterclass Lady 8 Comments


Last week’s show was quite predictable don’t you think?   Georgia singer/musician Nate Kenyon and the amazing act known as Fighting Gravity were destined to move forward to the Top 12. The cystic fibrosis sisters, Christina and Ali, seemed a logical choice as well, while the judges moved Future Funk through to the semi-finals. I […]

Dancing Masterclass Discussion Thread For So You Think You Can Dance Top 7 Show

July 14, 2010 by Masterclass Lady 2 Comments


“So You Think You Can Dance” lost a gifted dancer last week due to injury: one Alex Wong. I will be brutally honest here: it’s going to be tough watching the remainder of this season’s show minus Alex’s gifted presence. However, you can continue to follow Alex’s career via his Facebook page and Twitter page. […]
