My kids and I are really hooked on the show So You Think You Can Dance. The Canadian version started a few weeks ago and we love it ! We've all come to the conclusion that the Canadians are WAYYYY better than our neighbours to the south! Even American Judge Mary Murphy marvelled at the talent saying something like " What do you people eat here in Canada? I think I'm gonna get me a citizenship here so I can dance like you guys!"
Anyway we hunker down in our PJ's with our snacks, and watch in amazement as young talented dancers "wow" us ( and often bring me to tears! I'm such a crier!). There are many though, who Think They Can Dance, and can't.
You have to love the confidence.
There's American/Canadian Idol and the audition shows where people REALLY think they can sing and are shocked when they are told they can't.
The audition segments of So You Think You Can Dance feature hundreds of
"thinkers" who really can't dance!
I think they're great. I think confidence should win something!!
I didn't have and still don't have that much self confidence. I had to audition for Edmonton Opera but I certainly didn't Think I Could Opera. I hoped, but I honestly didn't think I'd get in, and 7 years later I'm still a little worried about the phone call telling me the game's up and it's time to leave.
After watching a few seasons of So You Think You Can Dance.....I'm pretty sure I can't dance.
I'm positive I can't sew, or model, or fashion design, or decorate a prize winning cake. These are all shows where really confident people actually think, know and believe they can do those things really really well. I applaud them!
I especially applaud those who think they can....when they can't.
