SYTYCD premiere is next month! woohoo

As "American Idol" slowly starts to wrap up underwhelming year seven, "So You Think You Can Dance" gears up to launch its fifth season and my heart has already started to beat a little faster. While the audition rounds of "Idol" tend to be a mixed bag of nuts, "SYTYCD" manages to fill their first few weeks with a wide array of talented dancers, each showcasing unique styles.

Whether it's the Lindy hop, West Coast swing, tap, jazz, ballet, crazy krumping or whatever Robert Muraine was doing, the audition rounds are an awesome platform for the different genres this competition embraces.

With the May 21 season premiere looming, catch up with Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe, reminisce about last year and look forward with a quick glimpse at some of season five's most promising auditioners. - NYPOST
