It was pretty tough to watch the Fox reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance last night, as they aired the Seattle and L.A. auditions. We had mentioned the auditions back in March and now we are just getting to see Seattle's dancing talent pool. And wow, it was bad. Really, really, bad. Even the judges and entertainment media agree with us. However, the one glimmer of dancing hope came from Mill Creek's 18-year-old Kelsea Taylor, who sold us with her quirky contemporary dance style. In total, the Seattle auditions produced only 13 dancers to advance in the reality show competition. more ›

Tomorrow could bring Seattle its next reality TV train wreck star, as the Fox show So You Think You Can Dance holds an open casting call in downtown for all styles of dancers and great performers—bring on the jazz hands--to audition for the show's fifth season. We just have a mean version of “I’m a Little Teapot” in our repertoire so we’ll pass, but if you got rhythm, follow the legwarmers Saturday, March 28, to the Moore Theatre. Doors open at 8 a.m. Break a leg, Seattle! more ›

It's Wednesday, which means we'll have to sit down for American Idol results tonight (after getting home from the Ani DiFranco show) without any local hottie to be nervous for. It's probably for the best. It's Andrew Lloyd Webber week, after all, and Kristy Lee Cook was supposedly planning on doing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." That would probably not have gone very well, if the other Cook's creepy performance of "Music of the Night" was any indication. more ›

Not that we care anymore ( crushes will be in Tacoma tonight strutting their stuff for the girlies. We can hardly contain our amusement that this tour is being sponsored by Pop Tarts. That's just brilliant. more ›

As previously alluded to, Seattlest is unabashed in our love for television. We tend to gravitate toward the good stuff, but we are by no means too highbrow to watch reality TV. Case(s) in point: the gloriously addictive trainwrecks known as Surreal Life 5 and Being Bobby Brown. For us, the viewing of such apocalypse-heralding fare is merely a spectator sport; that is to say, we've got no aspirations to be the castmember who actively works to alienate everyone in the house. While Seattlest is certainly not sociopathic enough to vie for a spot on a reality show, we cannot assume the same is true of our readership. For that reason, we feel the need to announce that America's Next Top Model will be holding auditions in Seattle next week. more ›
