So You Think You Can Dance Top Four Performance Show

August 15, 2007 12:03:00 by Joe Blackmon

With only the two-night, four-hour season finale remaining, the
competition is reaching a crescendo as the Top 4 contestants prepare
for their last performances in the quest for the title of America’s
Favorite Dancer and the $250,000 cash prize. The remaining finalists
(Neil Haskell, Sabra Johnson, Lacey Schwimmer and Danny Tidwell) will
compete on Part 1 of the Season Finale – a special two-hour final
performance show – airing Wednesday, Aug. 15 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on
FOX. The voting outcome will be announced and America’s Favorite Dancer
revealed on the live two-hour Season Finale, Part 2, airing Thursday,
Aug. 16 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). In addition, pop-rock
artist Ryan Cabrera and former Pussycat Dolls lead vocalist Nicole
Scherzinger will perform musical numbers.

Since the summer 2004 release of the platinum-selling album “Take It All Away,” Dallas-born tunesmith Ryan Cabrera has been regarded as one of the most compelling new voices on the modern pop scene. A songwriter, singer and musician, he has emerged as a captivating live performer and charismatic personality. “Take It All Away” debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold a month after its release.

The album’s success was fueled by the hits “On the Way Down” and “True,” both RIAA gold-certified digital singles. “Take It All Away” followed Cabrera’s self-produced 2001 indie release, “Elm Street,” which became a staple in college dorm rooms across the country.

On “You Stand Watching,” the self-produced follow-up to “Take It All Away,” Cabrera refines his artful pop-rock sound with a musically diverse set of songs that showcase his rapid growth as composer, lyricist and performer. His future plans include trying his hand at producing other artists.

Hawaii-born Nicole Scherzinger was raised in Louisville, KY, where she attended the Youth Performing Arts School at duPont Manual High School and performed with Actors Theatre of Louisville. She majored in theater arts at Wright State University but put her studies on hold in 1999 to sing backing vocals for the band Days of the New. In 2001, she competed on the premiere season of the television show “Popstars” and earned a spot in the all-girl pop group Eden’s Crush, whose single “Get Over Yourself” hit the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

After Eden’s Crush disbanded, Scherzinger worked with Yoshiki Hayashi on his Violet UK project, singing the English version of “I’ll Be Your Love” live with the Tokyo Symphonic Orchestra. In June 2003, Scherzinger joined The Pussycat Dolls as lead vocalist and can be heard on the group’s Top-5 hits “Don’t Cha,” “Buttons,” “Wait a Minute” and “Stickwitu,” and on their Top-20 hit “Beep.” Her debut solo album, “Her Name is Nicole,” will be available on Oct. 16.

Emmy-nominated SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.
