Melanie Moore: I was expecting to finish 'Dance' second, not first

During a Friday conference call with reporters, Melanie, a 19-year-old contemporary dancer from Marietta, GA who currently resides in New York, NY, talked to Reality TV World about her So You Think You Can Dance experience including -- why she was convinced she wasn't going to win the competition, how she felt about all of her fan support after she had received 47% percent of the vote total, what struggles she faced during the season, and what she plans to do after the So You Think You Can Dance tour ends.  Melanie Moore: I don't know. I just did really think that Sasha was going to win. Well first off, she's an absolutely amazing dancer and literally, I'm so inspired by her. But secondly, they've been calling me a favorite since the beginning and usually the person who's like the favorite or the frontrunner doesn't win because, for some reason or another, it usually doesn't happen in that favor. Reality TV World: You won with 47% percent of the 11.5 million home viewer votes. That's a huge margin given it was a four-way vote, so what are your thoughts about that? Do you have any theories about why you had so much fan support or ideas about why viewers were so drawn to you? Do you think they could relate to you or just loved your personality or something? Reality TV World: Nigel Lythgoe said you had everything he wanted in a female dancer, while the judges also commented how you mastered every style or genre of dance that you attempted to learn and perform. It seemed like the judges were suggesting you danced so effortlessly, so was there actually a style of dance you found very difficult and struggled to learn, and did you face any major struggles during the season as a whole? I was like, "This is going to be such a hard decision." I definitely felt confident with what I did on Thursday and what I had done in the course of the competition, because I just tried to do what I could every week and really focus on the dances that were given to me -- not look backwards, not look forward, but really focus on what was going on and keep my head in the game sort of. That was my decision because art is definitely my second love and that's why I went to school for that. It was my final decision to go to New York City when I knew that I would be pursuing art, not dance, because I knew that I could take amazing classes in the city. So, I sort of got the best of both worlds.

[Preview] Sasha feat. Krister Linder – Cut Me Down [Last Night On ...

Cut Me Down ’ was the Ibiza where Sasha was assumed the honour of creating the 2011 IMS Anthem in conjunction with Burn Studios. The track was then handed over to Layo & Bushwacka for the masterclass in remixing. Their stunning mix appears on the flipside with full L&B signature riffs, basslines and bouncy drums.

Sasha’s first vocal track in over 10 years features the haunting vocals of New York based Swedish vocalist, Krister Linder over Sasha’s hypnotic blend of epic, mind bending drums, gentle arpeggiators, combined with solid bass lines which forms this extremely worthy return to production on his new label, Last Night On Earth . This release also marks a return for Sasha in solo production mode. On previous releases including Coma, Who Killed Sparky, and the legendary Involver reworkings, Sasha has been working with his collective of Charlie May, Duncan Forbes and Barry Jamieson, however with time well spent on his own in his New York studio, Sasha has created this summer masterpiece.

Last Night On Earth will be  Sasha’s home for supporting exciting new electronic music talent and his new solo productions. Yes, there will be more to come, and as ever, the wait is most certainly worthwhile. Release date of  Cut Me Down is set for 22.08.2011 via Last Night On Earth !
