So You Think You Can Dance - Season 12, Episode 4: Soundtracks

Episode opening -- welcome to NYC!

Virgil Gadson's audition for Team Street (first dancer of the night) -- guy from Philly who made it to Top 30 in Season 8, then took a few years off to perform in a Broadway show.

Alexia Meyer's audition (Paula was booed by the audience and Nigel for her remarks.) Same song Fik-Shun danced to in his solos in Season 10.

Alexia Meyer grabs her ticket to Vegas

Audition of Korey Cleveland to Team Street. Korey is the recovering drug addict and ex-felon from St. Louis; he had been clean for 31 days, and his performance was a reward to himself for making it.

Korey Cleveland got his ticket to Vegas and gave the judges a hug.

Audition of Thomas "Mr. Hollywood" Condello. He seemed to entertain the judges, anyway, but certainly wasn't strong enough for Vegas.

Mr. Hollywood walks off stage with a smile but without a ticket.

Montage of several unique street dancers make it through.

Justin Ballasy's audition for Team Street (young tap dancer/Hoofer who almost did not make it through because his tapping was way too fast for the choice of music)

Angely "Cookie" Deaza and Angela "Angyil" McNeal audition/battle together for Team Street. Only Cookie does not make it through to the next round.

Team Stage audition for Allyson Wilcox, the "fairest maiden in the land" at a medieval-themed Vegas show.

Montage of male dancers going through to Vegas for Team Stage.

Kenya Welch and Connor Bermingham's audition for Team Stage (last dancers of Day 1 auditions). They were the adorable couple from New Hampshire.

Alain "HurriKane" Lauture's audition for Team Street. Alain is a "locker" from Haiti.

Kenya and Connor grab their tickets to Vegas along with several others we don't get to see make it through.

Audition of Latin Ballroom dancer Ryan Raffloer (tall, punky blonde guy who didn't have a partner while dancing ballroom; he had an excitable Russian mother who forced him into dance!)

Bobby "Anime" Major's introduction

Ryan Raffloer gets his ticket to Vegas; also used when Nigel dances with Alyssa G.'s grandmother at the end of show.

Bobby "Anime" Major got his ticket to Vegas and his fiancée planted a big fat kiss on him.

One of the many Cat Deeley intros or previews.

Eliazer Chapman's audition for Team Street (Young B-Boy who grew up in a shelter in the Bronx.)

Introduction to Eliazer Chapman, the B-Boy whose street performing earned enough money to get a home for himself and his father after years of being homeless.

Ian William's audition (popping, waacking and locking mixed with ballet -- he bombed his audition badly).

Montage of three different dancers go through to Team Street during the second day of auditions. The first time we've seen MEGZ.....

Montage of three Street dancers going on to Vegas during Day 1 auditions.

Ian Williams introduction and exit. He style was "Breaker-Ballet" but his dance had no breaking and terrible ballet. This was a giant waste of time, and made me feel bad for this hapless dancer.

The montage of the dancers who were so terrible Paula was speechless. They all had weird/poorly mixed styles, like "Street Salsa" or "Martial Arts Ballet."

Darius Drooh's audition to Team Stage. He is a Paula super-fan; his cup runeth over.

Darius Drooh and his best friend dance Paula Abdul's original choreography from this song so they can prove just how big fans they are.

Alyssa Guerrieri's audition (last dancer of the night). She is inspired by her a grandmother, who danced with Nigel and was generally adorable.

Darius Drooh got his ticket to Vegas

Alyssa Guerrieri gets her ticket, and we get a preview of the "callbacks" episode: 114 stage dancers and 105 street dancers have made it past auditions and will be tortured in Vegas.

Introduction to Thomas Condello, aka "Mr. Hollywood," the episode's required foray into sweetly entertaining but clueless dancers (aka "waste of time")
