TOP 15 are announced.
Round 2 for Show YouTube You Can Dance is over and now we are on to Round 3. Destini Rodgers was the guest choreographer for Round 2. Her choice in music caused a bump in the road for some of the contestants. She decided to pick Prince's "U Got The Look". In case some of you don't know, Prince has taken legal action against sites like YouTube, eBay, and many others that do not protect his copyright. Prince has obtained the services of WEB SHERIFF, a company that specializes in hunting down pirated content on the Web. WEB SHERIFF removes thousands of videos from YouTube that use his music now.
As the Top 20 were starting to enter their videos the problems started. Several of the contestants could not even get the video to load because of Prince's name being in the description. Some got the video to load, some changed songs, and some just removed his name from the description.
Click on "READ MORE" to see who made it past Round 2, the new Round 3 video and my personal reaction to the new combo.

Round 1 is here! Who is making it to Round 2?
Round 1 is close to the end. It's the last few moments before the TOP 25 become the Top 20.
Round 1 consisted of the 25 semifinalists learning a combo choreographed by Emily Shock. She posted her video that explained the movement on YouTube. The 25 then recorded a video of themselves doing the combo. The general public on YouTube then has to cast a vote. Voting ends Monday at midnight (Central Time). The voting public can vote for as many of the contestants as they wanted but they can only vote once for each video.
In the rest of this blog you will find the video of each contestant's entry in the order of when then entered it.
