They're trying to create a new American Idol with So You Think You Can Dance. Singing competition, dancing competition - two sides of the same coin, right? Here's the problem. When you win a singing competition, that opens a lotta doors. You release a record, it becomes a hit, you make another hit record, maybe parlay that into a movie or TV career. There's no brass ring for dancing. What do you do, become a back-up dancer for Britney Spears? Show up in a music video for Jay-Z? With American Idol, you have the dream of going from a nobody to a household name. Doesn't work that way for dancing. How many people even know who won last year's competition? And that name's too long, doesn't roll off the tongue. Why didn't they call it American Dancer or something like that?

I agree. Even the winner of American Inventor (which was only mildly interesting by the way) has a better chance of getting famous than the SYTYCD winner.
Plus, while it was pretty funny seeing that guy do a faceplant while trying to do a flip, most of the others are just losers.
Not my favorite show.
Dear sir,
You got that right. Dancers never amount to anything.
