А вообще не могу не цитатнуть частями:
There’s Mia Michaels, who works in the contemporary category. Contemporary dance looks like it was created to allow angsty teenagers to express themselves. Lots of clenched fists and spasms. And 99 percent of the time, the music is by a girly-girl singer like Sia, Imogen Heap, Yael Naim, etc. Mia choreographs by making “voom” and “woosh” noises. Also, she’s really intimidating. And her routines will definitely make you cry at some point this season. (Mia appears on the judges’ panel every now and then, and she’s often meaner than Simon Cowell.) Head judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe mentions Mia’s Emmy-winning “Park Bench” routine from season two at least 40 times each season, so you might want to hit up your favorite online video site and check it out ASAP.
Joining Mia Michaels in the contemporary world is relative newcomer Sonja Tayeh. She has a Mohawk and is intensely quirky. In fact, sometimes her stare is so hardcore, her gaze echoes that of Charles Manson. But I mean that in a good way. Somehow. Sonja also choreographs in the jazz genre, which is like contemporary, but with more hand magic and less-constipated-looking facial contortions.
This season marks the return of “SYTYCD” royalty Wade Robson. Those of you who remember his old MTV dance show, stop rolling your eyes. He will redeem himself and then some with his inventive, jaw-dropping routines.
Speaking of jazz, Tyce Diorio covers that genre, as well as Broadway. His routines are often hit or miss and his personality will haunt your dreams. He’s arrogant, he’s flamboyant, he’s fame-hungry. And he was most recently painted as the villain in the recent “Chorus Line” documentary “Every Little Step.” Can you tell I’m not a fan?
At the judges’ table, you’ll find ballroom expert Mary Murphy. She’s like Paula Abdul in that she’s an amiable female judge and has a goofy lovey-dovey vibe to her, but don’t let her Midwestern aw-shucks soccermom appearance fool you. Unlike Paula, this woman can take down a contestant as well as Simon, if it’s warranted. And every now and then she’ll whip out some insider dancer jargon and you’ll be all, “Wow, this lady knows her sh–!” (When’s the last time you said that about Paula?) Also, beware of her scream.
Choreographer-turned-movie-director Adam Shankman often pops up as a judge too. He’s the fast-talkin’ sass-throwin’ likable guy who helmed “Hairspray” among other hits, and according to his Twitter account, he’s been going through some heavy personal stuff, so the chances of a live-on-the-air emotional breakdown are quite high.

А еще хорошая вещь "Почему SYTYCD лучше, чем American idol"
