Am I the only one not enjoying Adam Shankman (SP?) on the judges panel.  I think he likes to hear himself talk and I think he is criticising the choreographers too much.

  • I missed last night, but what I can comment on is his manner with the dancers.

    He seems to be able to give them excellent constructive criticism while at the same time leaving them feeling good about themselves and the performance.  Mary and Nigel don't seem to be able to do that.

  • I LOOOOOOOOOVE Adam Shankman!!!  I think it's about time someone's willing to burst the choreographers' bubbles every once in a while.  It really irks me when the judges rail the dancers for choreography when it's totally out of their control (same thing on Dancing w/ the Stars).  I think his critcism is well-founded (usually), and well-stated.  He does a great job of giving positives and negatives, and is so funny!  I think he's a very welcome addition to the full-time judging panel. 

    Mary, on the other hand... ugh!!!

  • The one that was annoying during the auditions was Tyce Diorio.  he is a good choreographer but when he judges , he has hissy fits and gets a little too dramatic.  Mary is getting on my nerves too, the screaming has to stop.

    I mute her often.  Even my 7 year old walks around the house mimicking her horrid shrill nastiness.  I guess my favorite judge is Nigel.  I feel like he is the most honest without tearing people down.

  • I think his remarks have improved. i agree with the poster who said he offers good constructive criticism and yet he has a way of encouraging the dancers. But I still find him annoying. Wasn't he involved in a scandal??? Whatever happened with that?

  • I dunno~ There definately is something wrong with this season? Am i the only one who feels this way? Maybe it's the new stage... maybe it's the fact that there isn't as much of variety in judging... it seems too "talky"??? Seems like there was a lot more dancing getting done in the past few seasons.... Last night's show could've been done in an hour if it weren't for the relentless prattling on from the judges.... Anyone else???

    I think I agree.  I was actually just watching last night's episode on my DVR just a few minutes ago and I had thought to myself that the judges portion just seemed to go on and on and on . . . . . . . and I did find myself thinking "great - no new judge tonight".  So, maybe that is the problem.  I liked having a different 3rd judge every show.
