I watched the BBC proms. It just left me cold - apart from spotting the bits taken from Jaliona's routines.”

So agree

Some see the shadows
And some see the light
But the boundary between them
Is you.

Some see the light
And some see the shade.
Face sunward to hide shadows
From view.”

That's a brilliant song lyric, Korky - I can hear Jay singing that, I hope he sees this.

Very sweet of you, DD.

Some take days, some hours, but that was 5 minutes prompted by people's different reactions to what they're looking at and interpretations of what they're seeing...

Ta

I am voting but where have the number of votes disappeared to.
It's just the percentages now.
I don't like changes like that mid poll. I want transparency😆

I love when what's being said on the thread sparks an idea, it's my favourite inspiration mechanism because it's so in the moment.

Although the title What Bird am I did flash across my consciousness today. Might see if it takes me anywhere tomorrow.

There is some resistance, I sense
To the use of poetic licence
But to diss what's been carefully written
Will earn you the boom of the Bitterne

But think how pleasant
To write of the pheasant

If you go to the end of the Wolftrap performance vid, there's an interesting addition - a warning from Gelsey Girkland (who, from memory, danced the Don Quixote pas de deux with him) about anorexia, which she clearly suffered from. You can see she's not healthy and, despite lots of applause from the audience (because she's their native gal), a lot of her performance is very poor. She cannot sustain the balances or match Baryshnikov in any way because she is clearly too weak.

Very much looking forward to see what you will produce/compose

On it!!

PS Is anyone else finding it takes far fewer votes before the portal freezes and blocks votes for a while? Not a huge issue but what with the raw votes tally disappearing too, I'm wondering why the format is changing mid-poll.

I found a video of a SYTYCD audition on YouTube, but haven't seen any others, so I would quite like to see a link, thanks.

I notice that they gave done this for all of the categories. I'm just wondering if the sci-fi person has so many votes that they are masking the figures to make the outcome less obvious? They already had a huge amount when I looked yesterday afternoon.

Just voted a bit before I get started on my day. We can at least help Jay through this round.
