I loved the show and will really be upset if it does not return in 2013, but without Robin Thick.
Why is it that the network gets a good show and they canceled it. Please bring the duets back my granddaughter who is 8 always watches it with me she loves it too. Thank you
I absolutetly loved this show!! I could hear Jennifer Nettles, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend sing anything!!!!! Those 3 are my favorite. As for Robin Thicke – not so much.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING “DUETS” BACK!!!!!!!
I was brought up in a family which embraced music, and I appreciate most all genre. This is a great quality show for people who appreciate and understand music. If this show continues and gets more attention, I believe it can really become a long lasting quality show.
I love DUETS and was going to audition for it. I really want to sing with Kelly Clarkson so please bring it back!!!!!!
Is there an update on the Duets? We have been waiting for it to come back. It is good to hear real talents sing.
I love the show keep it on thank you,
I LOVE this show! I enjoyed watching every episode and listening to all of the pros, especially Jennifer Nettles — she is a fantastic singer. I hope it comes back next year, I would be very disappointed if it didn’t.
Enjoy the show and hope they bring it back next year. My favorite part is at the beginning when 2 or 4 of the pros will do a song together.
I like this show until Robin Thicke starts singing, than I hit the mute button. He is TERRIBLE and I feel sorry for his contestants. Hopefully if they bring this back next season they find a replacement for him. Love all the other stars!
I thought we finally had a real singing competition -until tonight! Apparently strutting like a low price stripper trumps a great voice ,or is that only if your Robin’s last competitor. They have lost at least one fan who prefers talent over politics.
I think that this show is realy good it diffrent and refreshing to see actual stars singing with the contestants. i think this show is cooler than american idol.
[…] SYTYCD’s return won its timeslot (easily beating ABC’s Duets), FOX was likely not regretting the decision to cut the show down to once airing a week. […]
I wouldnt be surprised if its cancelled before the show actually ends. If not, then no season 2 for sure
This show is horrible!! American Idol rejects anyone!!!
