So You Think You Can Dance Viewer Vote Tops American Idol Voting Premiere
August 23, 2005 07:02 PM by Joe Blackmon
The first performance show of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE on Wednesday, Aug. 17, logged a record number of telephone votes for a voting premiere. Over 3 million votes were cast, topping the call record of the first AMERICAN IDOL, and making this the highest number of votes for the first episode of any competition series in TV history. The 16 dance finalists performed for America and the bottom six contestants, as chosen by the show’s panel of judges, were revealed: Michelle Brooke, Artem Chigvinsev, Sandra Colton, Allan Frias, Jonnis and Snow Urbin. The two contestants with the fewest viewer votes will be eliminated on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Wednesday, Aug. 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
America’s vote will be revealed during a 30-minute results show, to be followed by 90 minutes of performances by the 14 remaining finalists in a two-hour evening of dance. The panel of choreographer/judges (Nigel Lythgoe, Brian Friedman, Mary Murphy and Dan Karaty) will choose the bottom three couples, who will battle it out as individuals in a timed freestyle. At the completion of the show, the phone lines will open and voters again will have the opportunity to cast their votes for their favorite contestants.
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 TV Ltd. and dick clark productions. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Allen Shapiro.

Oh please! The only reason why Dance got that many votes is because people knew it was from the same people as Idol. And since Idol had a good reputation so alot of people watched and voted. Idol didn`t have that many votes on it`s premire night because it hadn`t got as big of a rep. as it does now.

Music Portal Website
Most MP3 portals have overcome this by using a combination of user registration, pre-authorisation and transaction batching or polling…

VOTING PERMITTED BY GENERAL AUDIENCES IS BOGUS AND TOTALLY INVALIDATING. CREDENTIALED JUDGES ONLY QUALIFY TO MAKE DECISIONS OF WHO DOES OR DOESN’T END UP ON SHOW.
SELECTIONS OF SOME OF THE AUDITIONERS SHOWS LACK OF CAPABILITY OF SOME OF JUDGES AS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD. THESE COMMENTS COME FROM ONE WHO IS NOW RETIRED FROM NDCA, INC. AND U.S.TERPSICHORE, INC. AS A JUDGE IN THEATRICAL AND AM. AND LATIN AM. BALLROOM. BEEN TEACHING 52 YRS. AND IN MANY INSTANCES AM APPALED AS TO WHAT I SEE AS DETERMINED BY JUDGING PANEL AS ACCEPTABLE. TOO MUCH INDECENT AND NON EFFECTUAL DANCE MOVEMENT. SORRY I CAN’T HELP THINK THAT THIS IS ALL A GIMMICK TO FURTHER BRAINWASH THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS TO WHAT IS OR NOT IS ACCEPTABLE TO PUT ON SUCH A PUBLIC VEHICLE AS TV.
