Oh, those wicked girls, how they fly...

I was just on YouTube (I admit, watching videos from the current season of So You Think You Can Dance, because I am a weak blonde in some ways), and did the fairly random "let's see if any of my key words pops up on this site." And, well, some of my words did.

So here is the video recording of "Wicked Girls," as performed at DucKon 2009 (this particular performance will also be on the official DVD being released by the convention, although probably not this specific video). Featuring SJ Tucker on the djembe and backing vocals infinitely more amazing than I realized until I watched the playback; Vixy on lead vocals; me on lead vocals (I'm the blonde one in the middle); Tony Fabris on guitar; and Amy McNally on the invisible violin, as she is totally blocked by Tony. There's some clipping, especially on the louder parts of the song, but overall, I'm stunned by how well it went.

See:



This specific stream's version of "Still Catch the Tide" (by Talis Kimberley) is also gorgeous.

Wonderful performance. I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

I'm glad you mentioned that Amy is behind Tony. At first glance, it looked like he was wearing a skirt, which seemed somehow out of character. :)

So who do you like on SYTYCD? I love watching anything that Randy and Evan dance. (I thought of you when Caitlin did her raptor impression.)

I love Randi and Evan SO HARD OMG. Kate and I want Evan to be offered via catalog. We were sad when he didn't make the show last season, but clearly it was just so he could have a button-cute old-style blonde to play with.

I'm also a huge fan of Caitlin's, although if I did the raptor that well, Kate would turn the hose on me.

Yeah, I felt the same way about Evan last season. But then, how could I not love someone who dances like Gene Kelly? And I'm hoping Ryan makes the top 20 this fall.

I'm sort of glad he didn't make last season, 'cause he would totally have kept one of my top four out of the, well, top four. He's amazing.

I have faith in Ryan.
