Bob Fosse not great on 'So You Think You Can Dance' with Alex Wong, Lauren Gottlieb
Twitter
Google"So You Think You Can Dance" season 7 favorite Alex Wong drew Broadway/Bob Fosse and partner Lauren Gottlieb for his second week in the finals. Unfortunately, choreographer Tyce Diorio did not seem to know his Bob Fosse for their "Summertime" number.
The number had a few classic "Fosse" moves, but ultimately it seemed to lack heart or pizzazz. We don't think Alex Wong will be in any danger -- he's extraordinarly talented -- but it wasn't the greatest number of the night.
If you're interested in Bob Fosse's work, he choreographed "The Pajama Game," "White Christmas" and "Sweet Charity," among others. For an excellent biography of his life, check out Roy Scheider and Fosse himself in "All That Jazz."

Saw Diorio in "Every Little Step" and he was a braggart who could not cash the checks his mouth kept writing He was written off as crazy by the producers of "A Chorus Line" He has done some good work but not in the last couple of years and not on SYTYCD He lets down his dancers every time but accepts praise for his work while they take the criticism. the best thing he's done this year was the MTV movie awards schtick for that rich guy Tom Cruize while his wife, "dance around me while I pose" Katie Holmes watched with pride.With friends like that Diorio be around a long time and not because of any talent
Agree with Nigel--too much ballet and not enough Fosse. Was that Tyce's or Alex's fault?(Robin Williams did better Fosse in Bird Cage!)
May not have been Fosse but I liked it better than the "perfection" (maybe if you were in the audience it looked better but the camera work was awful last Tuesday) of last week's performance. Cat may have had chills last week but I watched Alex's dance twice and it was just blah.
