Tonight the auditions moved on to Los Angeles, California and as one would expect, there was a lot of great talent there. I don’t think we got to see even half of those that moved on to Vegas.  The stand-outs for me were Bianca Revels, ADAM SHANKMAN (choreographer and guest judge extraordinaire), Asuka Kondoh and her partner Ricky Sun (and I thought Ricky was just as mesmerizing as Asuka),  Nathan Trasoras (even though we won’t see him until Season 6 because he’s not old enough to compete yet),  Sammy Ramirez,  and Arielle Coker.

Then it was off to Seattle, Washington where it was truly painful to watch for a while….must be something in the rain.  Finally Kelsea Taylor came along (who I thought should have gone straight to Vegas) and only four dancers made it through the first day.  There were no day two stand-outs for me at all. I’m not even going to touch the competition between Leo and Sex.  What a waste of air time that was!  I just want to watch the brilliant talent that comes out for this competition dance!

Next week is Vegas baby.........and I’m looking forward to it!
