One of the auditions (a good one!) on this past episode of SYTYCD was to Sara Bareilles's "Gravity", which in addition to being a song I love, is also the music for one of my favorite SYTYCD routines ever:

This also serves as your fair warning, newish people to the neighborhood: SYTYCD is back, and there will be a non-negligible quantity of blathering about that once we get to the top 20 in a couple weeks.

(And for non-newish people, I almost linked to the version with the rehearsal attached, but then I noticed Tyce judging was after it and LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF HIS EGO.)

Fuck, I LOVE that routine SO MUCH!!!! It is easily one of my top five; maybe one of my top three. Kupono is astounding in it. (ETA: Which is not to say Kayla isn't astounding - she is! But the turn of character for Kupono was surprising, and unexpectedly good.)

Also, OMG SYTYCD IS BACK. :D :D :D :D

I know, right? I did rewatch the rehearsal package, and I remembered it being a real challenge of a character for Kupono, but I'd forgotten just how very happy-bouncy his own personality is. It's an amazing transformation. Ugh, so good.
