'So You Think You Can Dance' Judge Quitting The Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 11-22-2010, 10:41 AM

Before you start thinking there was some big reality television drama that pushed choreographer Mia Michaels out of the next season of So You Think You Can Dance, ya gotta read what she just told us.

No, she won't be back, but…

Michaels says it was her decision to move on.

"Last year when I was sitting on the [judges] panel, I knew it wasn't the right fit because I felt too glossy sitting on the panel," she exclusively tells us. "People were so focused on what I wore and my hair. I wanted to get dirty and back to the work. I am an artist and I'm a visionary. I need to paint my world now and not be constantly linked to So You think You Can Dance."

Not that she doesn't appreciate what SYTYCD has done for her. "It's been a great platform," Michaels says. "It was a wonderful platform. I'm staring at [my] two Emmys right now. It was an amazing, amazing thing for me but I feel like I have to fly. I have to now focus on Mia's world."

And that world includes starring in an upcoming Bravo reality show, writing a memoir and developing a Broadway show. "I heard they're bringing Mary Murphy back and I'm really happy for her," Michaels says. "I've sat in that chair, but I feel like that was Mary's chair."

I found some of Mia's comments to contestants quite nasty, and I kind of completely lost interest in her when she said she didn't really like female dancers (even though she's one herself), but I do think she's a very talented choreographer, and the show won't be the same without her creative input...
