Monday, Dec. 7, 2009 – The night America has been waiting for is
almost here! The So You Think You Can Dance two-night season finale
airs Tuesday, Dec. 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and Wednesday, Dec. 16
(8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX, and some of the year’s
hottest performers – including American Idol’s Adam Lambert – are
set to take the stage. Lambert will sing his latest track, “Whataya Want
From Me,” in his first appearance on the network since the American Idol
season finale in May.
Adam Lambert captured the attention of the nation this year during the
eighth season of American Idol. Throughout his much-celebrated IDOL
journey, Lambert surprised and impressed the judges every week with his
takes on various musical genres. His out-of-this-world vocal range and
unique musical style has helped Lambert conquer the Billboard charts with
multiple debuts on the Hot 100 and the Hot Digital Songs charts. His first
album, “For Your Entertainment” (19 Recordings/RCA), recently debuted at No.
3 on the Billboard Charts with 198,469 albums sold in the first week.
Tuesday’s final performance show will feature the ultimate showdown between
the Top 6 finalists as they compete to impress the judges and capture
America’s vote. Immediately following the performance show, the phone lines
will open and viewers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite
remaining finalists. Then, tune in the following night for one of the
most-anticipated television events of the fall.
Wednesday’s two-hour grand finale will feature surprise guests and special
performances by this season’s Top 20. At the end of the celebration, host
Cat Deeley will reveal America’s vote and America’s Favorite Dancer will be
crowned live before millions of television viewers. The winner will dance
off with a cash prize of $250,000 and will be featured on the cover of the
March 2010 issue of Dance Spirit magazine.
So You Think You Can Dance was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel
Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. The
series is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry
Adelman.
