When award-winning recording artist, dancer, and choreographer Paula Abdul (the Paula we all love) decided to leave her famous spot on American Idol as a contestant judge, some people thought it would be the last of her appearance on television. Fast forward to 2011, the public is now anticipating Live To Dance on CBS, which will make its debut on Tuesday, January 4, 2011, and will feature Paula Abdul as the main judge. Andrew Gunsberg will be the host, and Paula's panel will also consist of Travis Payne, choreographer of Michael Jackson's This Is It, as well as singer and dancer Kimberly Wyatt of the Pussycat Dolls.
Whereas American Idol is the country's premier singing competition, Live To Dance is predicted to be the country's foremost dance competition reality show, but minus the required age range characteristic, the solo contestant requirement, and the producer's preference of genres. Contestants have freedom of choice when it comes to a solo dance or group performance, and the public is bound to be inspired by the versatility of contestants and their preference of musical styles.... all on one stage! The grand prize contestant will receive $500,000, and be recognized as the Live To Dance champion. According to the show's CBS promotional clip, Paula stated, "It's paying tribute to my roots. I want to get involved in a project that allowed my passion to come through."
Live To Dance premieres Tuesday, January 4, 2011 from 8 PM to 10 PM EST, and Wednesday, January 5, 2011 from 8 PM to 9 PM EST. Starting Wednesday, January 19th, Live To Dance will be competing with the time slot of American Idol. Hopefully, this much-anticipated reality show will live on regardless of the time slot.
