I just love this guy on "So You Think You Can Dance," and I also like Pasha, the flamboyant, charismatic Russian ballroom dancer. Love it.

And, Wade Robson is a genius. He just about elevates the show to fine art, whether it's a Broadway-inspired or a truly unique quasi ballet-jazz piece that left the audience in a hushed silence before applause. I'm sure he could do absolutely anything in the industry. He seems humble, too, which takes the cake.

It's such a trite thing to say, but Robson works holistically--from the ground up, from the very foundation of a concept, through the movement, until the two meet somewhere in the hearts of the audience and dancers.

I think the choreographers in the show do an amazing job overall, mostly, but I think Robson is in a category by himself. He's the one who testified in the Michael Jackson trial, by the way, because he knew Jackson as a kid and even participated in some of Jackson's dubious "sleepovers" with such erstwhile elfin luminaries as Macaulay Culkin, et al.
