I think it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s more pleasant to watch.  The judges are critical but not cruel and the show has a much more pleasant feel to it&#8230; like it&#8217;s not one of those reality shows like American Idol or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox.com\/hellskitchen\/\" target=\"blank\">Hell&#8217;s Kitchen<\/a> that people watch for the entertainment value of watching people get verbally slayed and ridiculed.   The judges of SYTYCD are dancers themselves and they are there to advise and nurture rather than tear them down, and I like that a lot. <\/p>\n<p>I think I find the dancing a little more exciting to watch than the singing too, especially the hip hop.   The other styles are good too but the I loooove the hip hop routines and if I was a dancer I would definately want <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/shanesparks\" target=\"blank\">Shane Sparks<\/a> doing my choreography.  Not just because he&#8217;s hot (which he soooo is) but because his routines are consistantly the best ones on the show&#8230; with Mia&#8217;s coming in a very close second.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of Shane Sparks choreography.  The routine he did for Benji and Travis in the final dance-off of the season, it&#8217;s fantastic!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/SFRtA043pvM\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/SFRtA043pvM\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p><b>OOPS!!
