FACEBOOKFor all the people talking about Danny's "attitude," what actions are they specifically speaking of. I know what words Shane and Nigel, and Adam S. said. BTW, Adam actually went on record about taking back his "arrogant" label of Danny, so did Shane in post-finale interviews. So, what examples of actual arrogant behavior are people remembering. Danny took all the judges' feedback/critiques with respect and calmness, thanked partners and choreographers. He danced his bleep off day in and day out, and showed a good measure of good humor every now and then, as much as the people editing the footage would allow. He displayed so much passion on that dance floor, and it had nothing to do with histrionics or making faces. Look at his first solo, and tell me that he does not communicate the feelings in that piece of music. He's unbelievable. I'll follow his career for the rest of my life.

Quick-step aside, gentlemen. Sabra Johnson has been named the first female winner of the So You Think You Can Dance crown, earning her a cool $250,000.
Even though Johnson only has four years of dance training under her belt, the contemporary dancer from Roy, Utah, unexpectedly beat out Neil Haskell and Us-endorsed favorites Danny Tidwell and Lacey Schwimmer (whose brother, Benji, won season two’s title) for top honors.
Hitting her stride rather late in the game, Johnson, 20, will join the rest of her Top 10 peers on a 50-city tour to kick off Sept. 21.
Runner-up Tidwell, who was praised by judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Dan Karaty for his technical proficiency but often chastised by guest judges for his “arrogance,” happens to be the adopted brother of last year’s second place finisher, Travis Wall.
It was also announced on last night’s broadcast that So You Think You Can Dance will return for a fourth season. Adding the to show’s success are the two Emmy nominations for choreographers Mia Michaels and Wade Robson, for routines seen on last season’s series.

Danny should have won this contest Sabra was second!Danny should be the winner he was the greatest talent on that show!
DANNY WAS THE VERY BEST! HE SHOULD HAVE WON! I THOUGHT SABRA WAS OKAY! BUT DANY WAS SOMETHING MORE THAN SPECIAL!
I'm so glad she won! I think she was the most passionate dancer and she was very humble. I think Lacey got arrogant because of her brother and she was nowhere near as good as Sabra. I think she had the right mix of a fabulous personality and great dancing talent and that's why she would have won. I would have been happy if Neil won as well, but Sabra was my fav. The other 2 were just a little too stuck on themselves for my liking.
The thing that set Sabra apart from the other three is that she was consistently the most proficient at taking the different choreographer's dance pieces and interpreting them in her signature style without detracting from the artistic statement of the piece. Her energy and technique were always spot-on, and her partnering was generous and fearless. There was always an honesty and purity that came through in each performance, and she earned and deserved to win the competition.
6:42 PM Anonymous is right. Neil may well have the best chance at a long term career on Broadway or in movies because of his all American good looks AND talent. Face it, if a talent agent has several people, all with equal talent, but all but one is plain looking, who do you honestly think has the best shot at the job? Just like money talks, good looks get you advantages over the less fortunate in the appearance department. I should know.

If you think looks mean nothing..it's YOU that needs to GET REAL.
Danny's dancing is magic. I could watch him for hours. It was really hard this year because there was just so much talent on the show. Sabra, Laren, Sara, Neil all were great. I did not like Lacey at all. Very vain, and way too much "face". This is only my second year watching, but I felt the dancing was much better this year. As far as Danny being full of himself, I just did not see it.
Sabra is an Arabic name. Anyone know her history?
3:08 PM the real Becca Says:
WTF?? Racist?? What kind of ganja are you smoking my friend...must be some good stuff to come up with that one.
Oh...I HATE Cat. Never, ever liked her...and if i have to hear her say "judges" like that next season I swear I will hunt her down and slap the accent out of her. Annoying thing she is.
I loved Danny, I thought that he was the best dancer on the show! I didn't see one speck of arrogance in him, I saw a guy who had a tough upbringing, but endured, and made a success of himself. Everytime he was interviewed he was genuine, there was no fakeness, nor did he try to overcompensate. He definetly did not look like he was putting on a show. PLUS: If he was so arrogant none of the other dancers would have gravitated toward him, and it was very obvious that the other dancers loved him.
I loved Sabra too. Her talent cannot be denied, plus she has only been dancing for 4 YEARS. For the type of dancer she has become in that small amount of time, she definetly deserved to win!!!

Hahahahahahahaha! I thought that SAME thing right after he said it. Now when I see her everytime I think of how her hair must smell! Too funny! I just thought she was too competitive with her bro, Benji, and that was the only reason she tried out.
3:08 PM Becca - Did it ever occur to you that there are other people with the same name as you in the world?
THIS SHOW SUCKS BIG D I C K S. But I've never seen it nor would I want to.
Quit stealing my name Becca you phoney fake. And this racist chick did not need to win.
What was up with Danny and Lacey after their finals dance? He totally pissed her off when he said she lied about the popsicle stick. She said he wasn't even there and wouldn't have knonw. Was he trying to make her look bad? It was just rude of him.
Re: Cat Deely - Yes, and between yesterday and the day before, she had an awful fake tanning experience! Even my husband noticed right away.
Cat hardly ever looks good to me. When you are that tall you can't just toss on any dress. That looked like some Halloween, Ballerina Nightmare.
I wanted Neil or Sabra to win. I did not like Lacy beacuse she keeps quiting dance and then going back. The others have not. Neil was adorable. One of the male dancers said that Lacy has a weave and can't wash it. That made for a yucky visual. He said he kept getting slapped in the face by her dirty, smelly hair. Yuck. He should never have said that.
What was up with Cat Deely last night? She looked awful!
I was sooo happy to see Sabre win this year! I almost thought Danny was going to take it but I didn't like him for that same arrogance. He was/is a beautiful dancer, but something about the way he dances just rubs me wrong. Sabre danced with so much expression and emotion that it was hard NOT to like her. I definitely didn't want Lacey to win mainly BECAUSE Benji won. This was the best season and I am so looking forward to next years.

WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE DANNY HE IS SOOO STUCK UP && THINKS HES THE BESTT!!! HE NEVER CHANGED WHEN THEY FIRST TOLD HIM THAT EARLIER IN THE SEASON
LOVE Neil. In the years to come he'll have the best all around career because he's so good looking.
I love this show and I didn't vote for anyone because it was too hard to decide. I glad Sabra won because she is so good and she always has so much enthusiasm (sp?) with every dance. I thought for sure that Danny was going to win but I'm glad he didn't because I didn't like his attitude in the first part of the competition but he did get better. I was hoping Lacey would win just because it would be cool after her brother won last year. Neil is a great dancer too but I kinda knew he wasn't going to win.
