Matthew Koon 'Got to Dance' audition and 'Billy Elliot' at the BAFTAs.

Anatomy of a wasted evening, or how I went from listening to a Scott Mills podcast (BBC Radio1 DJ) to the Billy Elliot video.

Scott Mills >> guests Adam Garcia and Ashley Banjo off reality dance competition Got to Dance >> Adam Garcia...hmm, cutie >> Ashley Banjo off of Diversity (dance team)...hmm, what does he look like? >> Diversity's final performance in Britain's Got Talent >> closer look at Ashley in Got to Dance auditions >> whoa, Chinese kid named Matthew Koon auditioning?! >> Matthew Koon is awesome, don't care about MM. Garcia and Banjo >> another Matthew Koon video on the youtube sidebar?! wait! Matthew singing Electricity - from Billy Elliot?! >> holy fuck, that's the same kid from Billy Elliot! >> Matthew singing my favorite song from the musical >> loads of Billy Elliots singing my favorite song from the musical at the BAFTAs to celebrate the award's 60th anniversary





Alternatively, things could have gone like this:

Scott Mills >> guests Adam Garcia and Ashley Banjo off reality dance competition Got to Dance >> Adam Garcia...hmm, cutie >> Adam Garcia as Fiyero in Wicked >> Taye Diggs as Fiyero in Wicked >> musicals...musicals...musicals

Sad, M. Diggs's version of Dancing Through Life, the best in my opinion, got pulled. But here he is with his wife singing As Long as You're Mine. Sweet.



One of my favorites. I've posted Heather Headley's Your Song tribute to Elton John for the Kennedy Center Honors in the past and it is supernatural. Ms. Headley joins Adam Pascal in Elaborate Lives from Aida.
