I don't watch that show, but was directed to the clip.

Weird bit all around. Perez wasn't very complimentary. He rightly said that she 'moves' more than dances.

I wonder if Xenu told her this was a good idea? I wonder if it's a de facto audition for broadway?

I also wonder if you'd told Dawson's Creek era Katie Holmes she'd one day do that, if she wouldn't have filed a restraining order against you, the crazy person.

Finally broke down and googled 'SYTYCD'. Disappointed.

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

D'oh! Glad I'm not the only one.

Nope, but I did see Alanis Morissette on YCDTOT. What a performance!

HA!! I like you.

Am I the only one who finds her choice of song funny? Get ready for the judgement day?!

"Moves" vs "dances" is a good way to put it. She seemed to do everything alright. She didn't fall but I wasn't blown away.

She has an alright singing voice if that was her voice on the track she was lipsyncing.

I couldn't stop giggling at the song she chose and wondering whether Scientologists thought it was appropriate. I think they have a different idea of "the promised land" and "judgement day"


Forget your troubles c'mon get happy,
you better chase all your cares away.
Shout hallejulah c'mon get happy
get ready for the judgement day.

the sun is shinin c'mon get happy,
the lord is waitin to take your hand.
shout hallejulah c'mon get happy,
we're going to the promise land

We're headin across the river to
wash your sins away in the tide.
it's all so peaceful on the other side.

Forget your troubles c'mon get happy,
you better chase all your cares away.
shout hallejulah c'mon get happy,
get ready for the judgement day.

Forget your troubles c'mon get happy
chase ya cares away.
hallelu get happy,
before the judgement day.

The sun is shinin c'mon get happy,
the lord is waitin to take your hand.
shout hallejulah c'mon get happy,
we're gunna be goin to the promise land.

were headin cross the river,
wash you're sins away in the tide.
it's quiet and peaceful on the other side.

forget your troubles get happy,
your cares fly away.
shout hallejulah get happy get ready for your judgement day.

c'mon get happy,
chase your cares away.
shout hallejulah cmon get happy,
get ready for the judgment day

The sun is shining c'mon get happy,
lord is waiting to take your hand.
hallejulah c'mon get happy,
we're going to the promise land.

headin 'cross the river,
throw your sins away in the tide.
it's all so peaceful on the other side-

shout hallelujah c'mon get happy,
ya better chase all your cares away.
shout hallejulah c'mon get happy,
get ready-get ready-get ready,
for the judgment day.

I guess Lizz and I concur

Um, yeah. That song choice is seriously creepy.

I caught part of it while channel cruising. 

While watching, I was thinking she was a hot Mommy.

As to her dancing . . .  I'm not a good judge as to whether it was any good or not. 

Lip sink, p-shaw. She did Broadway - she should be able to sing while doing a couple of low kicks.

And did anyone else think she's morphing into Tom Cruise? I swear, she starting to look exactly like him.

She was running the "hallejulah" into the "c'mon" so badly that it sounded like she was saying hallejuyork to me.

The whole thing was pretty boring. All she did was walk around and let her backup dancers to all the difficult moves.

She was doing it as a tribute to Judy Garland. That was one of Garland's more famous upbeat cabaret songs. Whatever.

Mimi Rogers was a guest star on Dawson's Creek. Years later, Katie Holmes married Mimi's ex-husband.


COINCIDENCE?
