Apparently, Mary Murphy thinks Judy Garland is giving Katie Holmes a standing ovation from heaven. I'm pretty sure Judy Garland is cowering in a corner embarrassed at the spectacle tribute to her. And regardless of whether or not Katie Holmes looked good, that honestly has nothing to do with dancing and the judges on So You Think You Can Dance need to remember that because this season especially so, judging critics from Mary and others such as Mia Michaels and Tyce Diorio and Adam Shankman have started with exclamations of beauty, costuming and makeup. Let us not forget none of these factors have anything to do with the actual dancing being done on stage.

Amen to that! I am seriously grossed out by the fact that every judge feels the need to start their critique with a comment on their appearance. What does a short skirt, excessive cleavage, or face make-up have to do with dancing?!! Nigel is turning into a total creep with that stuff.
Also, Katie Holmes was a joke. Nothing against her personally, and I'm sure she had good intentions with that performance, but it was embarassing. For one thing, the contestants on this show bust their ass on a live stage every week. And Katie had the nerve to shoot her performance on a sound stage that probably afforded her multiple takes and opportunities to perfect it. She lip synched the entire time, and she barely even danced. No, kicking your leg a few times and being lifted by a group of men and twirled around does not count as dancing. Booooo! to the whole spectacle.
