You may or may not know, but i am 100% addicted to So You Think You Can Dance--if I could do anything, the inner me would most definitely choose to be a dancer--but in my case those who can't, watch.
Anyway, tonight was the opening night and although i did think there were a few very good performances. This one stood out to me.
Right after the boys deployed, Jordin Sparks song "No Air" was released. The song seemed to embody all the words and emotion that we were feeling. Then, tonight it was so strange that that song was put to a dance about a soldier deploying and leaving his wife behind. It seemed that every scene matched perfectly with how it really felt to go through that situation. From finding out the news, to the emotions of fear, anger, sadness and lonliness, to trying to get through it together and then having to be the strength and support when the other person couldn't take it, to the end when being left with just his shirt (cause i don't know one girl who didn't keep at least one worn shirt of their husbands just for the smell).
Obviously, i was very moved with the performance and I just wanted to share. On a lighter note though, you should watch the show--it's my all-time favorite reality show!
*by the way when you watch the video, make sure you stop the radio in the lower righthand corner or you will have a lot of crazy noises going on!
